PDN-MPE-FILTER-MIB

Description: Defines packet filter and access-control rule objects for traffic classification on the Paradyne MPE module.

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.

PDN-MPE-FILTER-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB for Paradyne's MPE (Multi-Protocol Engine) module, used in Paradyne/Zhone broadband access and DSL aggregation equipment. It defines packet filter and access-control-list objects that classify and act on IP traffic, including static and dynamic rule counts, default filter actions, and TCP-ACK/DHCP-specific filtering behavior. From a monitoring perspective it lets an operator confirm filter configuration state and health, such as the activation status of ACL entries and the count of active dynamic versus static rules, useful for validating that traffic-filtering security policy is correctly applied and enforced, and it also carries a trap group signaling filter-related events. It builds on standard SNMPv2 conventions such as RowStatus and notifications but otherwise has no heavy dependency on other MIBs. It would typically be deployed on Paradyne/Zhone access multiplexers or gateways at a service provider's network edge to manage and audit subscriber traffic filtering policy, and engineers can download the PDN-MPE-FILTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser for this purpose.

An administrator could poll mpeSysDevIpFilterConfigTable / mpeSysDevIpFilterConfigTableEntry to see each configured filter's mpeSysDevIpFilterName, mpeSysDevIpDefFilterAction, and rule counts via mpeSysDevIpFilterNumOfDynamicRules and mpeSysDevIpFilterNumOfStaticRules. A sudden drop in mpeSysDevIpFilterNumOfDynamicRules could indicate a DHCP or learning issue clearing dynamic rules, while mpeSysDevIpFilterRowStatus lets the operator confirm a filter entry is active rather than notReady or destroyed. The related mpeSysDevIpFilterRuleConfigTable exposes the individual rule definitions applied under each named filter.

Configures IP packet filters and rules for Paradyne MPE (Multi-Port Enclosure) devices. Manages filter policies for forwarding and discarding traffic.
