What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ServerAccessRsaMIB?

Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ServerAccessRsaMIB is a private Nortel MIB within the MsCarrier/Magellan Passport (MSC Passport) carrier switch family, defining objects for RSA SecurID-based authentication server access used to control administrative/console access to the switch. It exposes row-status and options tables for configured RSA access entries, including component name, storage type, and a logical-processor association, along with a state table reflecting the current status of each RSA configuration entry. Its monitoring value is centered on software/configuration status: confirming which logical processors have RSA authentication configured, whether entries are active (row status), and the operational state of the RSA access mechanism, which matters for ensuring secure administrative access rather than for hardware health. It is part of the broader Nortel MsCarrier/Passport MIB hierarchy and depends on conventions shared with other MsCarrier component/state-table MIBs (mscRsaComponentName, mscRsaLogicalProcessor). It is typically deployed on Nortel MsCarrier Passport (multiservice switching) platforms in carrier/service-provider networks requiring RSA-based administrative authentication, where Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ServerAccessRsaMIB SNMP monitoring helps confirm RSA access configuration stays active across logical processors.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ServerAccessRsaMIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Nortel MsCarrier / Magellan Passport (MSC Passport) multiservice switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll mscRsaRowStatusTable/mscRsaRowStatusEntry, indexed by mscRsaIndex, to confirm mscRsaRowStatus is active for each configured RSA entry and to see which mscRsaComponentName/mscRsaStorageType applies. mscRsaOptionsTable/mscRsaOptionsEntry would be checked to see which mscRsaLogicalProcessor an RSA configuration is bound to, useful when troubleshooting why a particular processor card cannot authenticate via RSA. mscRsaStateTable/mscRsaStateEntry would be read to confirm the operational state of the RSA access mechanism is healthy, flagging a misconfigured or disabled entry that could lock out administrative access.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RSA configuration entry row status
  • logical processor RSA binding
  • RSA access operational state
  • component storage type
