What Is Wellfleet-BISYNC-MIB?

Wellfleet-BISYNC-MIB is a legacy vendor MIB from Wellfleet Communications (predecessor to Bay Networks/Nortel routers) covering BISYNC (Binary Synchronous Communications), IBM's legacy synchronous link-layer protocol, on Wellfleet routers. It exposes configuration and operational data for BISYNC serial interfaces, including protocol parameters and line-level statistics. As a link-layer interface MIB it is used primarily to monitor the hardware/software status of the BISYNC interface itself — link up/down state, error and retransmission counters, and interface configuration — rather than system-wide health. It builds on the standard IETF interfaces MIB (IF-MIB) framework typical of Wellfleet's per-protocol proprietary MIB family, since BISYNC interfaces would be indexed alongside other ifTable entries. Typical deployment was on Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers bridging legacy IBM SNA/BISYNC terminal traffic onto packet networks in enterprise or wide-area network environments during the 1990s, and administrators supporting legacy hardware can download the Wellfleet-BISYNC-MIB file to load it into a MIB browser for reference.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-BISYNC-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.

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured for this legacy module, so specific OIDs cannot be cited; based on the short description, an admin would typically poll per-interface BISYNC line status and error/retransmission counters to detect a failing synchronous link or excessive protocol retries.

What Can Be Monitored

BISYNC interface status
line protocol errors
retransmission counts
interface configuration parameters

wfBisyncEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1		not-accessible	An entry in the BISYNC table
INT wfBisyncDelete	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Create/Delete parameter
INT wfBisyncDisable	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	Enable/Disable parameter
INT wfBisyncCct	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	CCT number for this line instance
INT wfBisyncMtu	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-write	MTU parameter, this is buffer size for BISYNC media, fixed
INT wfBisyncMediaType	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	Media type selection is provided via this parameter
INT wfBisyncCableType	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	Type of Cable attached to the Bisync port - this is needed for V.25bis and Raise DTR to properly communicate with the modem
INT wfBisyncClkSource	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	Tx/Rx clock source is either internally or external generated.
INT wfBisyncClkSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	Tx/Rx clock speed. This speed selection is valid when either internal or external clocking is selected. In some cases, router software uses this attribute for route selection. If Priority Queuing is configured, it chooses queue depths based on this attribute. If internal clocking is selected, this attribute effects hardware initialization. If external clocking is selected, this attribute should be set to the speed that most closely corresponds to the speed of the external clock.
INT wfBisyncService	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-write	Service Type selection is provided via this parameter. The supported services can be selected per interface.
INT wfBisyncCfgTxQueueLength	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.10	INTEGER	read-write	Configured Transmit Queue Length. Values other than zero over-ride the router selected values. A value of zero has a special meaning. Zero causes router based default values to be used. Values larger than the compiled ring size are truncated to the compiled ring size.
INT wfBisyncCfgRxQueueLength	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.11	INTEGER	read-write	Configured Receive Queue Length. Values other than zero over-ride the router selected values. A value of zero has a special meaning. Zero causes router based default values to be used. Values larger than the compiled ring size are truncated to the compiled ring size.
INT wfBisyncCharMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.12	INTEGER	read-write	Control Character Mode - ASCII/EBCDIC
INT wfBisyncLineNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.13	INTEGER	read-write	line number for this line instance
INT wfBisyncRtsEnable	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.14	INTEGER	read-write	The RTS parameter enables/disables detection of RTS signals on the interface. Normal default mode is running without RTS enabled
INT wfBisyncExternalClkSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.15	INTEGER	read-write	External Clock Speed. If external clocking is configured, this attribute should be set to the clock speed of the externally supplied clock. Depending on the protocols configured in the interface, this value may control internal decision making in the router. In soe cases, router software uses this attribute for route selection. If Priority Queueing is configured, it chooses queue depths based on this attribute. This attribute has no effect when Internal Clocking is configured.
INT wfBisyncModule	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.16	INTEGER	read-only	Module number for ASN platform, filled in by driver. For non-ASN platforms, this attribute will not be used
INT wfBisyncActualConnector	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.17	INTEGER	read-only	Actual Connector Number for ASN platform, filled in by driver. For non-ASN platforms, this attribute will not be used.
INT wfBisyncConnector	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.4.27.1.1.18	INTEGER	read-only	Instance ID Connector, filled in by driver. For the ASN this attribute is an encoded value and is equal to 'module'*10 + 'connector'. Where 'module' is defined in attribute mm and 'connector' is defined in attribute cc of this table. For non-ASN platforms this attribute is the physical connector number on the slot.
