Description: Defines Siemens AG alarm group objects aligned with ITU-T X.733 fault management notification standards.

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 X733GROUP-MIB?

X733GROUP-MIB is a Siemens AG vendor MIB that defines alarm/notification objects aligned with the ITU-T X.733 fault management standard, used to represent alarms from telecom switching equipment such as the EWSD family. Per its module description, it consolidates alarms from three sources, MML alarms from EWSD classic switches, SNMP alarms from EWSD InterNode and other SNMP-managed devices, and Q3 alarms from EWSD PowerNode, into a common set of spontaneous alarm traps. Its data centers on fault/notification status: alarm severity classification and counts of major, critical, and minor alarms currently active on the network element, making it primarily a software/fault-status monitoring MIB rather than one exposing performance counters or configuration. It is explicitly built to be compatible with and extend earlier, non-X.733-aware versions of Siemens' alarm MIBs, and it aligns with the ITU-T X.733 alarm reporting standard. The X733GROUP-MIB MIB is deployed in telecom carrier environments running Siemens EWSD switching platforms (classic, InterNode, and PowerNode variants) that need standardized alarm surveillance across mixed management protocols.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in X733GROUP-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

A network operations center would subscribe to this MIB's spontaneous alarm traps to receive real-time notification whenever an EWSD network element raises a fault, and would poll the countAlarms-style objects to get a running tally of major, critical, and minor alarms outstanding on that element. A sudden jump in the critical alarm count, or receipt of a trap indicating a new critical alarm, would prompt immediate investigation of the switching platform. No sample object names were extracted for this MIB, so exact object identifiers are inferred from the module description rather than confirmed.

ewsdAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1			This MIB module implements X733 Alarms which are extracted from MML alarms (EWSD classic), from SNMP alarms (EWSD InterNode and other SNMP managed devices) and from Q3 alarms (EWSD PowerNode). According to this distinction, different traps for spontaneous alarms are defined. This MIB module is compatible to previous versions which did not support SNMP and Q3 alarms, and countAlarms with the number of major, critical and minor alarms of the relevant Network Element.

NTF summaryAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.201			This trap will be sent periodically or after an explicit request via SNMP set. It is useful for these reasons: - to notice that the connection to NetM is reliable - to notice that the connection from NetM to an EWSD is reliable - to learn the names of EWSDs under control of NetM - to notice that traps got lost.
NTF spontaneousAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.202			Spontaneous Alarm from EWSD classic (MML). This trap will notify management systems after notifications from the EWSD classic. This trap type will be sent also in case of a 'resend' request. Each spontaneous alarm contains the variable binding 'originalAlarm' representing the original EWSD alarm. This information can be very large ( about 8 Kbyte).
NTF snmpAlarm	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.203			Spontaneous Alarm from EWSD InterNode or other SNMP managed devices. This trap will notify management systems after an SNMP alarm trap has been received by NetM. This trap type will be sent also in case of a 'resend' request. Each snmpAlarm trap contains the formatted output of the original SNMP trap in 'originalAlarm'.
NTF q3Alarm	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.204			Spontaneous Alarm from EWSD PowerNode. This trap will notify management systems after a Q3 alarm has been received from EWSD PowerNode. This trap type will be sent also in case of a 'resend' request. Each q3Alarm trap contains the formatted output of the original PowerNode trap in 'originalAlarm'. If the size of q3alarm exceeds 10KB, or one of the variables exceeds 8KB, 'q3alarm' is followed by 'q3contAlarm'. 'q3AlarmNumber' is 0 if the whole Q3 alarm is contained, or 9000 if it is continued with a 'q3contAlarm' sequence.
NTF q3contAlarm	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.205			Continuation of a Q3 Alarm. If the size of the trap exceeds 10KB, or one of the variables exceeds 8KB, the next 'q3contAlarm' is generated. In 'q3AlarmNumber' there is the sequence number and a flag (9000) if it continues with a new 'q3contAlarm'.
NTF timeAckAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.206			A 'timeAckAlarms' trap is sent as acknowledgement for a 'setPeriod' set request.
NTF proxyStartUp	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.207			A 'proxyStartUp' trap is sent if the proxy comes up.
NTF countAlarm	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.208			Spontaneous or periodical trap, which contains the number of critical, major and minor alarms for a Network Element. Spontaneous: if the number of critical, major or minor alarms for a Network Element has changed. Periodical: depending on the setting of 'countAlarmPeriod'.
NTF osAlarm	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.1.3.1.1.5.209			Spontaneous OS Alarm from NetManager. This trap will notify management systems after a OS alarm has been generated from the NetManager. This trap type will be sent also in case of a 'resend' request. NeName is filled up with OS Name. Notification ID has form: OS_
