Description: MIB for Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) modules on SmartOptics equipment, configuring WSS channel provisioning as express, add, or drop

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 SL-ROADM-MIB?

SL-ROADM-MIB manages Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) modules on SmartOptics equipment, specifically configuring Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) channels as express, add, or drop paths in a DWDM optical network. It belongs to the optical-transport/DWDM technology category and exposes per-line WSS configuration alongside operational status, temperature, uptime, and optical power/attenuation levels. Its monitoring emphasis is strongly hardware-focused: slWSSConfigSwitchTemp, slWSSConfigBoardTemp, and slWSSConfigCaseTemp track thermal health of the WSS module, slWSSConfigUptime reflects module stability, and slWSSConfigOperStatus reports whether a given WSS line is functioning, while slWSSConfigPowerLevel/slWSSConfigAttenLevel monitor optical signal power and attenuation critical to DWDM link quality. It depends on the shared SL-MAIN-MIB system context for the parent chassis and likely coordinates with SL-SONET-APS-MIB where ROADM lines carry SONET traffic. It is deployed in metro/regional DWDM networks using SmartOptics ROADM nodes for flexible wavelength routing. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the SL-ROADM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SL-ROADM-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

  • SmartOptics ROADM/WSS optical transport modules

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll slWSSConfigOperStatus per slWSSConfigLineIndex in the slWSSConfigTable to confirm each WSS line (express, add, or drop) is operational, and check slWSSConfigSwitchTemp/slWSSConfigBoardTemp/slWSSConfigCaseTemp for early signs of thermal stress in the optical module. Monitoring slWSSConfigPowerLevel and slWSSConfigAttenLevel against expected DWDM channel budgets reveals when a wavelength's power is drifting out of spec, which could indicate a fiber or amplifier issue upstream. A rising board or case temperature combined with an operational status change would strongly suggest a failing ROADM card needing replacement.

What Can Be Monitored

  • WSS line operational status
  • switch/board/case temperature
  • module uptime
  • optical power level per channel
  • attenuation level per channel
  • configured channel count and first wavelength

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using slWSSConfigOperStatus OID:

Select a SmartOptics ROADM/WSS optical transport module (WSS channel/temperature/power status) 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 slWSSConfigOperStatus into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The WSS operational status. 0 - DOWN, 1 - UP. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than '1 (up)', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
