Description: Manages Nokia carrier Ethernet ring protection switching instance and port state.

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 TN-ETH-RING-MIB?

This is a Nokia proprietary MIB (branded "TN" for the 7x50 device family) managing Ethernet Ring Protection Switching for carrier Ethernet rings, functionally paralleling the analogous TIMETRA MIB. It exposes ring configuration -- index, description, guard time, revert time and its countdown, and CCM (Continuity Check Message) hold-down time -- alongside per-ring administrative and operational state. Its monitoring emphasis is on ring protocol health: tnEthRingAdminState versus tnEthRingOperState shows whether a configured ring is actually passing traffic, tnEthRingRevertTimeCountDn shows recovery progress after a fault, and tnEthRingCcmHoldDownTime affects how quickly a link failure is detected via continuity checks. As a Nokia SROS-family extension it depends on the underlying Ethernet/CFM conventions used across the 7x50 product line. It's typically deployed on Nokia 7x50 nodes in metro Ethernet ring topologies requiring sub-50ms protection switching. Engineers can download the TN-ETH-RING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TN-ETH-RING-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 1830 PSS (Photonic Service Switch) optical transport platform

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls tnEthRingConfigTable / tnEthRingConfigEntry keyed by tnEthRingIndex to compare tnEthRingAdminState against tnEthRingOperState, catching a ring that is enabled but not actually protecting traffic. Watching tnEthRingRevertTimeCountDn during a tnEthRingRevertTime window shows the ring's progress reverting to its idle topology after a fault clears, and tnEthRingCcmHoldDownTime is checked when diagnosing whether continuity-check-based fault detection is too slow or too aggressive for the deployed ring.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ring admin state
  • ring operational state
  • guard time
  • revert time countdown
  • CCM hold-down time
