SONUS-SMI

Description: Defines Sonus Networks enterprise SMI OID tree structure and product-level namespace organization.

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.

SONUS-SMI is the Structure of Management Information module for Sonus Networks (a VoIP softswitch/SBC vendor, later Ribbon Communications), defining the enterprise OID tree and product-level namespace under which all other Sonus MIB modules (node, SONET, etc.) place their objects. Every object defined in a downstream Sonus module ultimately resolves to a SONUS-SMI OID, anchoring the vendor's entire product namespace to this single root. As a pure SMI/namespace module it defines no runtime data objects of its own — it exists to allocate and organize object identifier branches for Sonus product lines. Its role in monitoring is therefore purely structural: it underlies and is imported by the actual monitoring MIBs (like SONUS-NODE-MIB and SONUS-SONET-MIB) that expose hardware/software status such as shelf state, SONET alarms, and management connectivity. Every other Sonus enterprise MIB depends on this module for its top-level OID assignments, making it a foundational dependency across the entire Sonus MIB family. It is present in any deployment of Sonus/Ribbon softswitch equipment as the namespace root rather than a source of monitored values.

No sample objects were provided, and as a pure SMI/OID-tree module it defines no monitorable tables or scalars — it only establishes the enterprise namespace that other Sonus MIBs (e.g., SONUS-NODE-MIB) build upon.
