Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is Novell-LANtern-Admin-MIB?
This is a vendor-specific Novell MIB for the LANtern network management system, a network monitoring appliance/probe product from Novell used to watch Ethernet and Token Ring LAN segments. It covers administrative configuration and monitoring data for the LANtern device itself rather than a switch or router. Because no object list is available for this module, the specific hardware/software status parameters it exposes cannot be enumerated with confidence, but LANtern-class products typically report segment statistics, alarm thresholds, and device administrative state as part of their monitoring function. It likely has some dependency on RMON-style concepts given LANtern's role as a LAN monitoring probe, though the exact relationship cannot be confirmed from the available data. It would have been deployed in enterprise LAN environments in the 1990s where a dedicated LANtern probe was installed to monitor segment health and traffic. Engineers can download the Novell-LANtern-Admin-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Novell-LANtern-Admin-MIB. 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.

| STR adminIdentification | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.1 | DisplayString | read-write | An identifying ASCII string may be attached to the LANtern network monitor by writing adminIdentification. Conversely, the LANtern network monitor may be identified by reading adminIdentification. adminIdentification is stored in nonvolatile RAM. |
| TIM adminDateAndTime | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.2 | Time | read-write | Reading adminDateAndTime returns the current date and time in use by the LANtern network monitor. The LANtern network monitor's date and time may be adjusted at any time by writing to adminDateAndTime. However, although the new value is updated correctly as time advances, it does not replace the previous value until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. adminDateAndTime is stored in the clock/calendar chip. |
| STR adminTimeZone | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.3 | DisplayString | read-write | A DisplayString defining the time zone of the LANtern network monitor. adminTimeZone is neither parsed nor used by the LANtern network monitor, it is merely stored and divulged upon request. It is strongly recommended that adminTimeZone be used to store time zone information in a manner identical to the UNIX System V time zone environment variable (TZ). This standard approach would permit interoperability with network management consoles from multiple vendors. adminTimeZone is stored in nonvolatile RAM. |
| TIM adminPowerOnTime | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.4 | Time | read-only | The date and time when the LANtern network monitor was last powered on or restarted. |
| TIM adminPowerOffTime | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.5 | Time | read-only | The date and time when the LANtern network monitor was last powered off or restarted. The value is 0 (midnight, 1 January 1900) after a cold start. |
| INT adminNetworkDataLink | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.6 | INTEGER | read-write | The type of data link encapsulation to be used on the monitored network. adminNetworkDataLink may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. When adminNetworkDataLink is read, it returns the value currently in use, regardless of any previous writes. adminNetworkDataLink is stored in nonvolatile RAM. |
| IP adminNetworkIPAddr | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.7 | IpAddress | read-write | The IP address to be used by the LANtern network monitor on the monitored network. adminNetworkIPAddr may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. When adminNetworkIPAddr is read, it returns the IP address currently in use, regardless of any previous writes. adminNetworkIPAddr is stored in nonvolatile RAM. On start up, if the LANtern does not have an IP address, it will attempt to acquire one via BOOTP and/or RARP. If neither method is successful, the address 192.68.205.1 is used. |
| IP adminNetworkSubnetMask | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.8 | IpAddress | read-write | The subnet mask for the monitored network. adminNetworkSubnetMask may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. When adminNetworkSubnetMask is read, it returns the subnet mask currently in use, regardless of any previous writes. adminNetworkSubnetMask is stored in nonvolatile RAM. When the value 0.0.0.0 is stored in this variable, the LANtern assumes no subnetting. This value is acquired via BOOTP if the value of adminNetworkIPAddr is acquired via BOOTP. If neither BOOTP nor RARP succeeds in acquiring adminNetworkIPAddr, the value 255.255.255.128 is used |
| IP adminNetworkGateway | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.9 | IpAddress | read-write | The IP address of a gateway directly connected to the monitored network (the LANtern network monitor's default gateway). adminNetworkGateway may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. When adminNetworkGateway is read it returns the gateway IP address currently in use, regardless of any previous writes. adminNetworkGateway is stored in nonvolatile RAM. |
| adminClientTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.10 | not-accessible | A table providing data on all authorized LANtern clients. The table is accessed by adminClientIPAddr. A new entry may be created by writing to a nonexistent instance. Note that adminClientIPAddr is set implicitly from this write; it cannot be written directly. An entry may subsequently be deleted by writing (any value) to adminClientDelete. adminClientTable is stored in nonvolatile RAM. Default: a single entry with: adminClientIPAddr.0.0.0.0=0.0.0.0, adminClientIPMask.0.0.0.0=0.0.0.0, adminClientCommunities.0.0.0.0=7 | |
| adminClientEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.10.1 | not-accessible | Data about each authorized client. | |

Traps are sent to backupContacts only if they have the corresponding bit set in adminNotificationTrapMask and if a confirmed delivery to a station naming it as backup failed. Default: primaryContact(1) |
| INT adminNotificationTrapMask | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.13.1.3 | INTEGER | read-write | A bit array specifying which traps the station wishes to receive. Bit Trap 2^0 warmStart 2^1 cableFailure 2^2 reserved 2^3 duplicateIPAddr 2^4 utilizationAlarm 2^5 errorsAlarm 2^6 broadcastsAlarm 2^7 collisionsAlarm 2^8 authenticationFailure 2^9 hostInactive 2^10 hostActive 2^11 newHost 2^12 hostLimitExceeded |
| INT adminNotificationConfirmMask | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.13.1.4 | INTEGER | read-write | A bit array specifying which traps the station wishes to receive with confirmed delivery. Any bits set must also be set in adminNotificationTrapMask. If a trap sent with confirmed delivery is not acknowledged within adminNotificationTimeout seconds it is sent again. After adminNotificationRetries attempts to deliver the trap, the LANtern network monitor gives up, and tries to deliver it to the station specified by adminNotificationBackup. |
| SEC adminNotificationTimeout | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.13.1.5 | Seconds | read-write | For traps with confirmed delivery, adminNotificationTimeout specifies the interval (in seconds) between retries. |
| INT adminNotificationRetries | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.13.1.6 | INTEGER | read-write | For traps with confirmed delivery, adminNotificationRetries specifies the number of retries that should be attempted before giving up and trying to deliver the trap to adminNotificationBackupIPAddr. |
| IP adminNotificationBackupIPAddr | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.13.1.7 | IpAddress | read-write | For traps with confirmed delivery, adminNotificationBackupIPAddr specifies the IP address of a backup station (also in adminNotificationTable) to be contacted should delivery of the trap to this station fail. Default: 0.0.0.0 (no backup) |

| INT adminTrapHandle | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.14 | INTEGER | not-accessible | A unique handle that is generated for each trap issued and that is passed in the trap-PDU along with any other variable bindings. |
| INT adminTrapAcknowledge | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.15 | INTEGER | write-only | A trap is acknowledged by writing the value of adminTrapHandle passed in the trap-PDU to adminTrapAcknowledge. |
| OCT adminDownLoadFile | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.16 | OCTET STRING | read-write | The name of the executable file to be downloaded from adminDownLoadServer. |
| IP adminDownLoadServer | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.17 | IpAddress | read-write | The name of the file server from which to download a new executable image (adminDownLoadFile). |
| INT adminDownload | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.18 | INTEGER | read-write | A write to adminDownload of temporaryChange(1) or permanentChange(2) causes the LANtern network monitor to discontinue its normal functions and perform a TFTP read of the file specified by adminDownLoadFile from the server specified by adminDownLoadServer into RAM. Upon successful completion of the file transfer, the new image is written to the flash EPROM memory (permanentChange only), destroying the previous image. The LANtern network monitor then performs a warm restart to activate the new image. A read of adminDownLoad returns the status of the last download. The values temporaryChange(1) and permanentChange(2) indicate a download is in progress. tftpFailed(4) indicates the server failed to respond or the transfer timed out. badFile(5) occurs if the LANtern network monitor determines the downloaded file has been corrupted or is not a LANtern executable. All other error codes are the values defined by the TFTP protocol [RFC 783], offset by six. Note: adminDownloadFile and adminDownLoadServer must be set prior (separate PDU) to setting adminDownLoad. |
| INT adminReset | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.19 | INTEGER | write-only | A write to adminReset causes the LANtern network monitor to discontinue its normal functions and commence a restart sequence. The contents of RAM, including all counters and statistics, are lost. A coldRestart destroys the contents of the nonvolatile RAM and causes the LANtern network monitor to start up exactly as if power was supplied for the first time. This is equivalent to supplying power to the LANtern network monitor while holding the hardware reset button depressed. A warmRestart preserves the contents of the nonvolatile RAM and causes the LANtern network monitor to start up exactly as if the reset button had been pressed (or power was being restored after an outage). |
| INT adminSerialDataLink | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.20 | INTEGER | read-write | The type of data link encapsulation to be used on the serial line. adminSerialDataLink may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted. When adminSerialDataLink is read, it returns the value currently in use, regardless of any previous writes. adminSerialDataLink is stored in nonvolatile RAM. |
| IP adminSerialIPAddr | 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.21 | IpAddress | read-write | The IP address currently in use by the LANtern network monitor on the serial channel. adminSerialIPAddr may be written at any time; however, the change does not take effect until the LANtern network monitor is restarted.
