TIARA-GENERIC-HDLC-MIB

Description: Manages Tiara Networks WAN router HDLC interface configuration and protocol statistics.

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.

TIARA-GENERIC-HDLC-MIB is a Tiara Networks enterprise MIB for configuring and monitoring generic HDLC bundles on Tiara WAN routers. It exposes genHdlcTable for per-interface HDLC configuration (keepalive interval, MTU) and a genHdlcStatsTable of traffic and error counters accumulated since the last boot/clear. It is used to monitor both software and hardware status of WAN links: rising genHdlcStatsErrPktsRxLastBootClear values reveal line-quality problems, while genHdlcStatsUpDownStatesLastBootClear tracks how often the link has flapped, and byte/packet counters show whether the interface is passing expected traffic volume. The module rides on top of the standard interface model (ifIndex/IF-MIB) even though it defines its own HDLC-specific configuration and statistics objects. It is deployed on Tiara Networks WAN routers wherever HDLC-encapsulated serial links are used for site-to-site or access connectivity. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TIARA-GENERIC-HDLC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An admin would poll genHdlcStatsTable per interface and watch genHdlcStatsErrPktsRxLastBootClear for an increasing count that signals a noisy or misconfigured serial line. genHdlcStatsUpDownStatesLastBootClear climbing quickly would indicate a flapping HDLC link, perhaps from a keepalive mismatch, which could be cross-checked against the configured genHdlcKeepAlive and genHdlcMtu values in genHdlcTable. Comparing genHdlcStatsBytesRxLastBootClear against expected throughput would reveal a link that's up but passing far less traffic than expected.
