Description: Manages Avaya WAN interface parameters including link status, encapsulation settings, and traffic counters.

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 WAN-MIB?

WAN-MIB is a vendor-specific module from Avaya for managing wide-area network interface features on WAN access devices. It exposes configuration objects for WAN link encapsulation settings alongside operational status and traffic-counter objects per WAN interface. In a monitoring context it is used to track WAN link up/down status and traffic throughput/error counters, helping an operator detect a down or flapping WAN circuit or unusually high error/discard rates on a branch link. It sits alongside the standard IF-MIB, extending the generic interface model with WAN-specific encapsulation and feature configuration rather than replacing it. It is typically deployed on Avaya WAN access routers/gateways connecting branch offices over leased lines, Frame Relay, or similar WAN circuits. Engineers can download the WAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WAN-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

  • Avaya WAN access router/gateway

Monitoring Examples

No sample object/table names were provided for this MIB, so specific OIDs cannot be cited here. Based on its stated purpose, an admin would typically poll a WAN interface's link-status object to detect an interface going down, and its traffic-counter objects to monitor throughput and error rates on a leased-line or Frame Relay circuit. Encapsulation-configuration objects would be checked to confirm the WAN link is running the expected protocol (e.g., PPP, Frame Relay, HDLC).

What Can Be Monitored

  • WAN link operational status
  • WAN interface traffic counters
  • WAN encapsulation configuration
  • interface error/discard rates
