What Is OMNI-gx2OSW10B-MIB?

This MIB manages the Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta GX2 OSW10B optical switch module, a component in HFC optical node deployments used for optical path switching/protection (e.g., redundant fiber path failover) at the cable network node. The provided source contained only a placeholder object entry, so no concrete object list is available, but as a GX2 OMNI-family switch module MIB it would be expected to expose module identity, active optical path/port selection, and switch alarm/fault status. Its monitoring value centers on hardware status of the optical switch -- confirming which optical path is currently active, whether a protection switchover has occurred, and whether any fault is asserted -- which is directly relevant to fiber-path redundancy health in HFC networks. It is a vendor-specific module tied to the Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta OMNI optical node management architecture rather than IETF standards. It is deployed on Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta GX2 optical nodes in HFC cable network outside-plant deployments, where OMNI-gx2OSW10B-MIB SNMP monitoring supports early detection of optical path failover events.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in OMNI-gx2OSW10B-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.

Supported Devices

  • General Instrument OmniStar GX2 HFC headend/optical node (GX2 OSW10B optical switch module)

Monitoring Examples

No usable sample objects were available for this MIB in the provided source (only a placeholder entry), so specific object names cannot be cited; based on its stated purpose, an operator would typically poll active optical path/port selection and switch alarm/fault objects for the OSW10B module within the GX2 node's OMNI object tree. An unexpected active-path change would indicate the optical switch has performed a protection failover, potentially due to a fiber cut or degraded primary path. A persistent alarm/fault status on the module would indicate the switch itself needs field replacement to restore protection redundancy.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active optical path/port selection
  • protection switchover events
  • module alarm/fault status
