Description: TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB module

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.

What Is TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB?

TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB is an Alcatel-Lucent (Timetra/SROS) private MIB for managing and provisioning multicast Connection Admission Control (CAC) policy on Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Operating System equipment. Its data categories cover CAC policy definitions and bundle groupings that control how much multicast bandwidth/channels a given interface or subscriber group may admit. It supports monitoring of software/configuration status via policy and bundle row status and administrative state, letting operators confirm multicast admission policies are correctly provisioned and active rather than exposing physical hardware sensors. Engineers typically download TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB from Alcatel-Lucent's SROS MIB support archive to compile it alongside the broader Timetra/TMNX module set before provisioning multicast CAC policy. It is a vendor-specific extension built on Alcatel-Lucent's broader Timetra/TMNX SROS MIB provisioning conventions. Deployment context is Alcatel-Lucent SROS routers delivering IPTV/multicast video services in service-provider access and edge networks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-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

  • Nokia 7750 SR-7s — current-generation FP5-silicon IP service router (up to 6 Tb/s in 2RU), the modern SR OS platform descended from the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 line this MIB targets
  • Nokia SR OS routers (7750 SR series), descended from Alcatel-Lucent/Timetra SROS

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check tmnxMcacPolicyTable/tmnxMcacPolicyEntry for a given tmnxMcacPolicyName, confirming tmnxMcacPolicyRowStatus is active and reviewing tmnxMcacPolicyDefaultAction to see whether excess multicast join requests are dropped or accepted by default. tmnxMcacBundleTable/tmnxMcacBundleEntry would be checked for tmnxMcacBundleAdminState to confirm a bundle of channels is administratively enabled; a policy stuck in a non-active row status would explain why multicast channel admission isn't being enforced as expected on an IPTV service.

What Can Be Monitored

  • multicast CAC policy status and default action
  • multicast bundle admin state
  • policy/bundle row status (provisioning state)
  • policy description/naming

FAQ

How would an operator use TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB to verify multicast admission policy on an Alcatel-Lucent SROS router?
It exposes CAC policy definitions and bundle groupings that control how much multicast bandwidth or how many channels an interface or subscriber group can admit, along with row status and administrative state for those policies and bundles. Polling these objects lets an operator confirm that a given multicast admission policy is correctly provisioned and actively enforced, rather than sitting in an incomplete or inactive state.

Why would an IPTV service provider care about TIMETRA-MCAST-CAC-MIB specifically?
Since it governs Connection Admission Control for multicast traffic on SROS edge/access routers, it directly affects whether a subscriber's channel-change requests are admitted or blocked based on available bandwidth; monitoring policy and bundle status helps confirm the CAC configuration matches the intended per-subscriber or per-interface multicast bandwidth limits.
