What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-UtpDpnTrunksMIB?

This Nortel MscPassport MIB manages UTP-based DPN (Data Packet Network) trunk interfaces on Passport switches, covering the legacy X.25-derived DPN packet trunking used in Nortel's carrier packet-switching gear. It exposes provisioning and state tables that expose framer sub-components, error-sensitivity thresholds, and maximum errored-interval settings for each trunk. Its primary monitoring value is tracking trunk-level fault/error conditions -- receive error sensitivity, errored interval limits, and framer/row state -- making it a link-health monitoring tool for DPN trunk quality rather than a hardware sensor MIB. It follows the standard MscPassport component/row-status/provisioning table pattern shared across the vendor's Passport MIB suite. This module is deployed only on legacy Nortel/Alcatel Passport switches carrying DPN trunks in older carrier packet-switched networks, where a Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-UtpDpnTrunksMIB download is still occasionally needed to support legacy monitoring tools.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-UtpDpnTrunksMIB. 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/Alcatel-Lucent Passport packet switch
  • MscPassport carrier switching platform

Monitoring Examples

An engineer would poll mscDpnGateUtpProvTable to read mscDpnGateUtpMaximumErroredInterval and mscDpnGateUtpReceiveErrorSensitivity for a trunk identified by mscDpnGateUtpIndex, then check mscDpnGateUtpStateTable and the associated mscDpnGateUtpFramer sub-object for link framing status. A trunk whose error count approaches the configured errored-interval threshold, or whose framer state indicates loss of frame, signals a degrading UTP DPN trunk needing physical-layer investigation. mscDpnGateUtpRowStatus confirms whether the trunk row itself is properly provisioned and active.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DPN trunk row/provisioning status
  • receive error sensitivity threshold
  • maximum errored interval
  • trunk framer state
