What Is SPIDCOM-ALARM-MIB?
SPIDCOM-ALARM-MIB is a vendor MIB from SPiDCOM Technologies covering alarm objects and threshold-based fault conditions for SPiDCOM powerline networking (HomePlug/PLC) equipment. It exposes fault/alarm data: a tree of alarm definitions and threshold conditions used to flag abnormal operating states on the powerline communication device. As an alarm-monitoring MIB it is directly about surfacing hardware and/or link fault conditions -- such as a monitored parameter crossing a configured threshold -- so operators can be alerted to problems, though without concrete object names its exact hardware coverage (e.g. temperature vs. link quality) cannot be confirmed. It likely depends on general SNMPv2 notification conventions (SNMPv2-MIB, NOTIFICATION-TYPE) since it centers on alarm/threshold reporting. It is typically deployed on SPiDCOM powerline communication (PLC) modems and adapters used in broadband-over-powerline or smart grid access networks. Engineers can download the SPIDCOM-ALARM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SPIDCOM-ALARM-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- active alarm conditions
- alarm threshold status
- fault condition tree state
Supported Devices
- SPiDCOM powerline communication (PLC) modem/adapter
Monitoring Examples
No sample objects were provided for this module, so no concrete object or table names can be cited with confidence. In practice an operator would likely poll an alarm status table to see which threshold-based alarms are currently active on a powerline device, using that to detect degraded line conditions or hardware faults on the PLC link. Any specific object names beyond this general description would be speculative given the lack of grounding data.
OIDs
| OID symbolic | OID numeric | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| neAlarm | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1 | Definition of the MIB tree structure to manage the Alarm Monitoring. | ||
| neAlarmTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1 | not-accessible | neAlarmTable represents all the possible alarms on the NE, stating the probable cause, the alarm type and the perceived severity as per [X.733]. Note that each entry is significant until neAlarmIsApplicable is applicable(1). Entries should never be removed unless the NE they refer to disconnected NEs. To invalidate an entry the Agent sets neAlarmIsApplicable to notApplicable(0). before invalidating the entry, the agent sets the neAlarmPerceivedSeverity to cleared. | |
| neAlarmEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1 | not-accessible | neAlarmMibEntry: an entry in neAlarmMibTable. | |
| U32 neAlarmIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.1 | Unsigned32 | read-only | neAlarmIndex is a unique identifier for an alarm on a given type of NE. The association between the alarmIndex and the alarm for the type of NE is described in the NE MIB. For example for the SRA L it is in the NETVIEWER SRAL 16X2 MIB. |
| STR neAlarmAdditionalText | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.2 | DisplayString | read-only | neAlarmDescription is a brief description of a given alarm. E.g. Tributary 1 Card Fail. |
| ITU neAlarmProbableCause | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.3 | ItuAlarmProbableCause | read-only | neAlarmProbablecause represents the probable cause values for the alarms as per [X.733]. |
| STR neAlarmDescription | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.4 | DisplayString | read-only | neAlarmDescription represents a description of the Alarm, as per [X.733] |
| ITU neAlarmType | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.5 | ItuAlarmType | read-only | neAlarmType represents the event type values for the alarms as per [X.733]. |
| STR neAlarmManagedObject | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.6 | DisplayString | read-only | neAlarmManagedObject represents the managed Object values for the alarms. |
| INT neAlarmStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.7 | INTEGER | read-write | If neAlarmStatus is active(1) the current alarm is active for the NE. If neAlarmStatus is inactive(2), the current alarm is inactive (normality) for the NE. If neAlarmStatus is notAffected(3), the current alarm is not significant for the NE. |
| INT neAlarmAlreadyPresent | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.8 | INTEGER | read-only | This field could be use to know if alarm already there. |
| TIK neAlarmTimeStamp | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.1.1.9 | TimeTicks | read-only | The alarm timestamp. |
| U32 neAlarmActiveLastTrapIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.2 | Unsigned32 | read-only | This is the Alarm Index sent for which the last trap was sent |
| I32 neClearTerminatedAlarms | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.3 | Integer32 | read-write | When the manager sets this object, the agent deletes its alarms which status is terminated |
| I32 neAlarmActivePhoto | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.4 | Integer32 | read-write | When the manager sets this object, the agent sends all the active alarms from neAlarmtable to the manager. |
| neAlarmTrap | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.10 | |||
| C32 neAlarmTrapCounter | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.10.2 | Counter32 | read-only | This object counts only the traps sent under node neAlarmTrap. |
| NET neAlarmTrapFilter | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.10.3 | NeTrapFilter | read-write | If trapFilterOn, the agent sends no traps under node neAlarmTrap. |
| IP neAlarmTrapDestiIp | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.10.4 | IpAddress | read-write | The @IP where traps are sent |
| U32 neAlarmTrapDestiPort | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.10.5 | Unsigned32 | read-write | The UDP port where traps are sent |
| neAlarmGroup | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.11 | The objects you can find in this MIB. | ||
| neAlarmActiveGroup | 1.3.6.1.4.1.22764.2.1.13 | The object regarding active alarms |
