What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VncsCallServerMIB?

This is a Nortel MsCarrier MSC/Passport enterprise MIB for the Virtual Network Call Server (VNCS) component, part of Nortel's Passport carrier switching platform used for call-processing (SS7/telephony signaling gateway) functions. It exposes generic Passport-style component tables, row status, provisioning, comments, and statistics tables, for VNCS call-server resources, following the common MsCarrier Passport component-management pattern. Monitoring this MIB centers on the operational/software status of call-server resources, using row status and provisioning state to verify a VNCS component is correctly configured and active, and statistics tables to track call-processing load and performance. It follows the shared Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport MIB conventions (row-status/provisioning/stats table pattern) common across many Passport component MIBs, indicating a dependency on that base architecture. Typical deployment is on Nortel Passport/MSC carrier switching platforms in telecom carrier call-processing infrastructure. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VncsCallServerMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VncsCallServerMIB. 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 Passport/MSC carrier switching platform (VNCS call server)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check mscVncsRowStatusTable/mscVncsRowStatusEntry, indexed by mscVncsIndex, for mscVncsRowStatus and mscVncsComponentName to confirm a VNCS component is active, then review mscVncsProvTable/mscVncsProvEntry for provisioning details and mscVncsCommentText for admin notes. mscVncsStatsTable/mscVncsStatsEntry would be polled for call-processing statistics; a component stuck in a non-active row status or with stalled stats counters indicates a failed or degraded VNCS resource.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VNCS component row status
  • component provisioning state
  • call-processing statistics
  • component comments/identification
