Description: Manages per-interface configuration and statistics for subscriber-facing ports on the Ericsson Diax IP DSLAM platform.

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 PEA-IF-IPDSLAM?

PEA-IF-IPDSLAM is an Ericsson (Diax) IP DSLAM proprietary MIB providing a lightweight, IF-MIB-like subset for managing subscriber-facing ADSL interface ports, deliberately trimmed down from the full IETF IF-MIB to reduce polling overhead on platforms with very high interface counts. It exposes per-interface descriptive, type, speed, physical address, and administrative/operational status objects analogous to standard interface objects. It is used to monitor the software and link status of each subscriber port, notably adslIfAdminStatus and adslIfOperStatus for up/down state and adslIfLastChange for the time of the last state transition, which are core indicators of subscriber line availability. It explicitly derives from and is a subset of the IETF IF-MIB (RFC 2863), copying standardized object semantics rather than reinventing them. It is deployed on Ericsson Diax IP DSLAM platforms in carrier broadband access networks with large port counts, where PEA-IF-IPDSLAM SNMP monitoring keeps polling overhead manageable across thousands of subscriber ports.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PEA-IF-IPDSLAM. 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

  • Ericsson Diax IP DSLAM
  • DSL access multiplexer

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll adslIfTable/adslIfEntry for adslIfAdminStatus versus adslIfOperStatus across many ports to quickly spot lines that are administratively up but operationally down, indicating a line fault. adslIfLastChange timestamps help correlate a spike in support calls with a mass port flap. The adslIfXTable extension provides additional per-interface counters, and adslIfTraps would notify on interface state transitions without requiring constant polling of every port.

What Can Be Monitored

  • interface admin/oper status
  • interface last-change time
  • interface speed and type
  • interface description/physical address
  • interface state-change traps

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using adslIfSpeed OID:

Select an Ericsson Diax IP DSLAM, DSL access multiplexer (subscriber ADSL interface ports) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type adslIfSpeed into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports an estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the rate climbs well above its normal baseline (in bits per second), since a sustained spike often reflects real load growth or a runaway process. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
