What Is SONUS-IP-ADDRESS-MIB?

SONUS-IP-ADDRESS-MIB is a proprietary Sonus Networks MIB for managing IP address assignments on the vendor's softswitch/media gateway platform, mirroring the classic IETF IP-MIB address and ARP table structure. It exposes configuration data - assigned IP addresses, netmasks, broadcast addresses, and hardware shelf/slot/instance location - plus ARP-style net-to-media address resolution entries. Its monitoring emphasis is on network-layer software health: confirming each interface's IP address and netmask are correctly provisioned and that ARP resolution to signaling peers is current, since a stale or missing entry directly affects call signaling reachability. It closely parallels the standard IP-MIB (RFC 1213) ipAddrTable/ipNetToMediaTable structure. Typical deployment is on VoIP softswitch/SBC platforms where IP-layer connectivity underpins call signaling. Engineers can download the SONUS-IP-ADDRESS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SONUS-IP-ADDRESS-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.

Monitoring Examples

sonusIpAddrTable/sonusIpAddrEntry lists each configured address (sonusIpAdEntAddr) with its ifIndex, netmask (sonusIpAdEntNetMask), and broadcast address, mapped to shelf/slot/instance (sonusIpAdEntShelf, sonusIpAdEntSlot, sonusIpAdEntInstance) for hardware location. An admin cross-references sonusIpNetToMediaTable to confirm ARP resolution for a signaling peer; an unexpectedly missing or stale entry there would indicate a Layer 2/3 connectivity issue affecting call signaling.

What Can Be Monitored

IP address assignment per interface
netmask and broadcast address
shelf/slot/instance hardware mapping
ARP / net-to-media resolution
reassembly max size

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
sonusIpAddressMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2			The MIB Module for IP Address Management.
sonusIpAddrTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1		not-accessible	The table of addressing information relevant to this entity's IP addresses.
sonusIpAddrEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1		not-accessible	The addressing information for one of this entity's IP addresses.
IP sonusIpAdEntAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.1	IpAddress	read-only	The IP address to which this entry's addressing information pertains.
I32 sonusIpAdEntIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.2	Integer32	read-only	The index value which uniquely identifies the interface to which this entry is applicable. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of RFC 1573's ifIndex.
IP sonusIpAdEntNetMask	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.3	IpAddress	read-only	The subnet mask associated with the IP address of this entry. The value of the mask is an IP address with all the network bits set to 1 and all the hosts bits set to 0.
I32 sonusIpAdEntBcastAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.4	Integer32	read-only	The value of the least-significant bit in the IP broadcast address used for sending datagrams on the (logical) interface associated with the IP address of this entry. For example, when the Internet standard all-ones broadcast address is used, the value will be 1. This value applies to both the subnet and network broadcasts addresses used by the entity on this (logical) interface.
I32 sonusIpAdEntReasmMaxSize	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.5	Integer32	read-only	The size of the largest IP datagram which this entity can re-assemble from incoming IP fragmented datagrams received on this interface.
I32 sonusIpAdEntShelf	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.6	Integer32	read-write	A 32-bit integer identifying the shelf that the IP Addr table applies to
I32 sonusIpAdEntSlot	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.7	Integer32	read-write	A 32-bit integer identifying the slot that the IP Addr table applies to
I32 sonusIpAdEntInstance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.1.1.8	Integer32	read-write	A 32-bit integer identifying the instance that the IP Addr table applies to
sonusIpNetToMediaTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2		not-accessible	The IP Address Translation table used for mapping from IP addresses to physical addresses.
sonusIpNetToMediaEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1		not-accessible	Each entry contains one IpAddress to `physical' address equivalence.
I32 sonusIpNetToMediaIfIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.1	Integer32	read-create	The interface on which this entry's equivalence is effective. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of RFC 1573's ifIndex.
PHY sonusIpNetToMediaPhysAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.2	PhysAddress	read-create	The media-dependent `physical' address.
IP sonusIpNetToMediaNetAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.3	IpAddress	read-create	The IpAddress corresponding to the media-dependent `physical' address.
INT sonusIpNetToMediaType	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.4	INTEGER	read-create	The type of mapping. Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipNetToMediaTable. That is, it effectively disassociates the interface identified with said entry from the mapping identified with said entry. It is an implementation- specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant ipNetToMediaType object.
I32 sonusIpNetToMediaShelf	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.5	Integer32	read-create	A 32-bit integer identifying the shelf that the IP Net to Media table applies to
I32 sonusIpNetToMediaSlot	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.6	Integer32	read-create	A 32-bit integer identifying the slot that the IP Net to Media table applies to
I32 sonusIpNetToMediaInstance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2879.2.3.2.2.1.7	Integer32	read-create	A 32-bit integer identifying the instance that the IP Net to Media table applies to
