What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetMcdnSigMIB?

Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetMcdnSigMIB is a Nortel enterprise MIB for the MsCarrier Passport platform, managing MCDN (Meridian Customer Defined Network) signalling channel parameters on virtual network interfaces. It exposes provisioning and status tables for MCDN signalling channels, including Layer 2 framing parameters like T200/T23 timers and N200 retry counts used in the signalling protocol. This MIB is largely configuration-oriented for telephony signalling, but its row status and Layer 2 parameter tables do allow monitoring whether a signalling channel is correctly provisioned and operational, which affects call setup reliability across the customer-defined network. It follows Nortel's Passport component/row-status MIB pattern shared with sibling MIBs like the IPIVC MIB. It was deployed on Nortel Passport WAN switches carrying MCDN telephony signalling for private branch networks. Engineers can download the Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetMcdnSigMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-VnetMcdnSigMIB. 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 WAN switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check mscSigChanMcdnRowStatusTable via mscSigChanMcdnRowStatus to confirm an MCDN signalling channel is active, and inspect mscSigChanMcdnL2Table values such as mscSigChanMcdnT200 and mscSigChanMcdnN200 to verify Layer 2 link timers match expected values. Signalling channels stuck in a non-active row status would explain failed or delayed call setups across the MCDN network.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MCDN signalling channel row status
  • Layer 2 timer values (T200, T23)
  • retry count (N200)
  • signalling channel provisioning state
