Description: Manages SDLC link optimization parameters including compression and traffic shaping settings.

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 SDLC-OPT-MIB?

This is a vendor-private MIB whose object prefixes reference the "cdx6500" platform (a Codex/Cisco SDLC protocol-converter product line), covering SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Control) link optimization used in legacy SNA/mainframe connectivity. It exposes configuration-oriented objects for per-station SDLC protocol group settings, such as compression and traffic-shaping parameters used to optimize bandwidth on serial SDLC links. Because the module description is empty and few object names are available, the exact hardware/software health objects exposed cannot be fully confirmed, but station protocol group objects of this kind typically also reflect link/session status, letting administrators monitor whether SDLC optimization is active and functioning. It likely depends on underlying serial/SDLC interface indexing conventions given the station-oriented naming. It would have been deployed in legacy SNA-over-WAN environments carrying mainframe traffic across optimized serial links via Codex/Cisco 6500-series converters. Engineers can download the SDLC-OPT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SDLC-OPT-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

  • Codex/Cisco 6500-series SDLC protocol converter
  • SNA/mainframe WAN gateway

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cdx6500PCTStationProtocolGroup and cdx6500PSTStationProtocolGroup to check configured SDLC compression/optimization settings for a given station; no runtime counter or table objects were included in the sample data, so a precise anomaly-detection scenario such as compression ratio or discard counts cannot be confirmed from the available object names.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SDLC station protocol group configuration
  • link compression/optimization settings
