Description: Manages redundant entity (card/module) switchover configuration, protection state, and failover event history on Paradyne devices.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is PDN-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-MIB?

PDN-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-MIB is a Paradyne enterprise MIB for managing redundant card/module (entity) protection, covering both configuration and runtime state of protected hardware. It exposes redundancy-selection configuration, switchover commands, per-entity alarm status, and an overall general alarm status. Its monitoring purpose is hardware health and failover status: pdnRedunStatusTable's pdnRedunEntityState shows whether a given card is active, standby, or failed, and pdnRedunGeneralAlarmStatus flags an overall redundancy fault, directly surfacing card-level hardware problems and automatic failovers. It is a standalone Paradyne enterprise MIB, conceptually parallel to general entity-redundancy/protection concepts used elsewhere in the industry. It is deployed on Paradyne access/transport chassis equipped with protected (1+1 or Y-cable) redundant cards. Engineers can download the PDN-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PDN-ENTITY-REDUNDANCY-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

Paradyne access/transport equipment with redundant (protected) card slots

Monitoring Examples

pdnRedunStatusTable/pdnRedunStatusEntry exposes pdnRedunEntityState and pdnRedunAlarmStatus per entity, while pdnRedunCmdTable/pdnRedunCmdEntry allows issuing a pdnRedunCommand such as a forced switchover. An administrator polling pdnRedunEntityState would notice a standby card unexpectedly transition to 'active', and a raised pdnRedunGeneralAlarmStatus would confirm that the primary card failed, triggering an automatic Y-cable/redundancy switchover.

What Can Be Monitored

redundant entity state (active/standby/failed)
redundancy alarm status
switchover command/history
Y-cable selection status

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
pdnEntRedunMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1			This management information module supports the objects to be used for redundancy of entities.
pdnEntityRedundancyMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1
INT pdnEntityRedundancySelection	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to enable or disable the redundancy feature on this device.
INT pdnYCableSelection	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to configure the Y-cable presence used for tx and rx of data between the redundant units. When the selection is enabled (1), it indicates that the tx and rx signals of each redundant unit are sharing a single common pair to tx and rx data to the network. When the selection is disable (2), it indicates that the tx and rx signals of each redundant unit has a separate (independant) pair to tx and rx data to the network.
PDN pdnRedunGeneralAlarmStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.3	PdnRedunGeneralAlarmStatus	read-only	This object provides status of any General Alarm detected by the redundancy feature.
pdnRedunCmdTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.4		not-accessible	This table contains one row per entity module being used for redundancy.

PDN pdnRedunCommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.4.1.1	PdnRedunCmd	read-write	This object allows users to command an entity module, configured for redundancy to perform an action such as switch (2). Reading this object should return the last command issued on this interface or noCmd (1) if no command has been issued since last reset.
pdnRedunStatusTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.5		not-accessible	This table contains configuration and status information related to events in entity modules used for redundancy.

PDN pdnRedunEntityState	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.5.1.1	PdnRedunStates	read-only	This object is used to display the current state on an entity that is used for redundancy.
PDN pdnRedunAlarmStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.41.1.1.5.1.2	PdnRedunAlarmStatus	read-only	This object provides status of any Alarm detected in a redundant entity.
