What Is SONUS-DS3-MIB?
SONUS-DS3-MIB is a proprietary Sonus Networks MIB for managing DS3 (T3) TDM trunk interfaces on the vendor's softswitch/media gateway platform, covering framing and administrative interface configuration. It exposes hardware-location and admin-state data: shelf/slot/port/DS3 index mapping tied to the standard ifIndex, plus administrative state, mode, and timeout settings for each DS3 port. Its monitoring value centers on hardware trunk card status - confirming a DS3 port's admin state is up and correctly associated with its ifIndex after a card install or swap - which is critical since a misconfigured or down DS3 port takes an entire T3 worth of TDM trunk capacity offline. It builds on the standard ifIndex convention from IF-MIB and conceptually parallels IETF DS3/DS1 MIB work (RFC 3895) though this module is vendor-specific. Typical deployment is carrier telephony gateways with T3/DS3 TDM trunk interface cards. Engineers can download the SONUS-DS3-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SONUS-DS3-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
- Sonus Networks softswitch/media gateway
- DS3 trunk interface card
Monitoring Examples
Polling sonusDsx3AdmnTable/sonusDsx3AdmnEntry surfaces each DS3 port's shelf/slot/port/DS3 index (sonusDsx3AdmnShelfIndex, sonusDsx3AdmnSlotIndex, sonusDsx3AdmnPortIndex, sonusDsx3AdmnDs3Index) mapped to its ifIndex (sonusDsx3AdmnIfIndex) and administrative state (sonusDsx3AdmnState). An operator checks sonusDsx3AdmnState to confirm a T3 trunk card port is enabled, and sonusDsx3AdmnMode/sonusDsx3AdmnTimeout to verify line mode and signaling timeout settings, catching a DS3 port left disabled after a card swap.
What Can Be Monitored
- DS3 port administrative state
- shelf/slot/port/DS3 index mapping
- ifIndex association
- port mode and timeout configuration
- row status of DS3 admin entries
