Description: Manages Zhone Technologies Medium Attachment Unit parameters including autonegotiation and link speed.

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 ZHONE-MAU-MIB?

This Zhone Technologies enterprise MIB, adapted from the standard RFC 2668 MAU-MIB, manages the physical (PHY) layer of Ethernet ports on Zhone devices, covering both integrated on-board Ethernet interfaces and legacy external Medium Attachment Units. It exposes per-port physical-layer parameters such as autonegotiation configuration/status, negotiated link speed and duplex mode, and MAU type. Its monitoring value is fundamentally about hardware link status: confirming whether a given Ethernet port has successfully autonegotiated to its expected speed/duplex, or whether a mismatch or failed negotiation is degrading throughput or keeping a link down. It directly extends the standard IETF MAU-MIB (RFC 2668) rather than introducing a fully proprietary model, making it interoperable in concept with standards-based MAU monitoring tooling. It is deployed on Zhone access/aggregation devices wherever Ethernet ports need physical-layer link and autonegotiation monitoring. Engineers can download the ZHONE-MAU-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ZHONE-MAU-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

  • Zhone Technologies Ethernet-equipped access/aggregation device

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were available in this MIB source, though it is adapted from the standard MAU-MIB (RFC 2668). In general, an administrator would poll the MAU status for a given Ethernet port to check its autonegotiation status and negotiated speed/duplex. A port reporting a duplex mismatch or failed autonegotiation would explain unexpectedly high collision/error rates or a link stuck at a lower speed.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port autonegotiation status
  • negotiated link speed and duplex
  • MAU type per port
