What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-TimMIB?
Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-TimMIB manages Trunk Interface Module (TIM) card configuration and status on Nortel MsCarrier Passport WAN switches, the physical hardware card that terminates trunk facilities on the switch. As a card-level MIB, its objects are centered on the operational and administrative status of the physical TIM hardware itself rather than higher-layer service configuration. This gives it direct hardware-status monitoring value, since it is the mechanism by which an operator confirms whether a TIM card is present, in service, and functioning, versus faulted or removed, effectively the SNMP equivalent of a hardware slot/card status indicator. It follows the RowStatus/component conventions common to the MsCarrier MscPassport MIB suite of hardware and interface MIBs. It is deployed on MscPassport switches wherever TIM cards terminate trunk facilities, used by operators and NOC monitoring systems to detect card failures. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-TimMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-TimMIB. 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 Passport switch (Trunk Interface Module hardware card)
Monitoring Examples
A NOC monitoring system polls objects under timMIB to check the in-service/faulted status of each Trunk Interface Module card in a switch shelf, alerting when a card that was previously in service reports a fault or goes missing. This is typically the first table checked when trunks terminating on a particular card all report failures simultaneously, since a shared hardware card fault is a common root cause.
What Can Be Monitored
- TIM card operational status
- card presence/in-service state
- card configuration
