What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetEuroIsdnMIB?

This is a Nortel MsCarrier/Passport enterprise MIB for managing Euro-ISDN (ETSI DSS1) signalling channels within the Nortel Passport virtual network (Vnet) service, part of the legacy Passport carrier WAN switching platform. It exposes row-status-controlled configuration tables for signalling channel instances (mscSigChanEIsdnRowStatusTable) and Layer-2 protocol timer tables (mscSigChanEIsdnL2Table, with T200, T23, and N200 parameters governing LAPD-style link retransmission and windowing behavior). It is used to monitor and configure the software-level operational state of ISDN signalling channels — row status (active/notInService), component naming, and Layer-2 timer/retry values — reflecting the health of ISDN call-control links rather than physical sensors. It builds on the Q.921/DSS1 (Euro-ISDN) Layer-2/Layer-3 signalling model together with Nortel's proprietary Passport component/row-status framework. It was typically deployed on legacy Nortel Passport/MsCarrier WAN switches providing ISDN PRI/BRI signalling in European carrier or enterprise networks. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetEuroIsdnMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetEuroIsdnMIB. 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/MsCarrier WAN switches (ISDN PRI/BRI signalling)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would inspect mscSigChanEIsdnRowStatusTable entries such as mscSigChanEIsdnRowStatus and mscSigChanEIsdnComponentName to confirm a given Euro-ISDN signalling channel is active, and check mscSigChanEIsdnL2Table values like mscSigChanEIsdnT200 and mscSigChanEIsdnN200 to verify Layer-2 retransmission timers match expected link parameters. A channel stuck in a non-active row status, or repeatedly retransmitting near its N200 retry limit, would indicate an unstable ISDN signalling link.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ISDN signalling channel row/admin status
  • Layer-2 timer parameters (T200, T23, N200)
  • signalling channel component naming
  • channel storage type/configuration
