Description: Manages Nokia Tropic control card configuration, software state, and redundancy for optical transport.
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 TROPIC-CONTROLCARD-MIB?
This MIB module, part of the Nokia (formerly independent Tropic Networks) DWDM/optical-transport MIB suite, manages the control card — the supervisory processor module in an optical transport chassis responsible for overall system control and software/firmware coordination. It exposes configuration and status data about the control card's software state, redundancy role (active/standby), and general card health/identity information. Its central monitoring purpose is hardware and software status tracking: administrators use it to check whether the control card is functioning normally, which unit is currently active versus standby, and whether a switchover or software fault has occurred. It works alongside other Tropic MIB modules — such as the fan, statistics, and GMPLS control-plane MIBs — sharing common chassis/slot indexing conventions across the platform. It is deployed in carrier-grade DWDM/optical transport network elements where control-plane redundancy is critical to service continuity. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TROPIC-CONTROLCARD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TROPIC-CONTROLCARD-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 (Tropic Networks) DWDM/optical transport network element
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the control-card table entries indexed by shelf/slot to determine the current active/standby redundancy state and software/firmware version running on each control card, alerting on an unexpected role switch or a card reporting a fault/degraded state. No sample object names were provided for this module, so the description above reflects its documented purpose (control-card configuration, software state, and redundancy) rather than specific field names.
What Can Be Monitored
- control card redundancy role (active/standby)
- control card software/firmware state
- card operational/fault status
- switchover events
