ZHONE-PW-BUNDLE-MIB

Description: Manages Zhone Technologies pseudowire bundle configuration, member PW status, and load-balancing parameters.

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.

ZHONE-PW-BUNDLE-MIB is the Zhone Technologies module for managing pseudowire (PW) DS0 bundle definitions, where multiple DS0 timeslots are grouped into a single logical circuit-emulation pseudowire. It exposes categories of data covering pseudowire bundle configuration, individual member PW/DS0 status within a bundle, and load-balancing parameters across bundle members. Its monitoring value lies in service-continuity assurance: checking member PW status reveals whether all DS0 channels in a bundle are up, since a failed member can degrade bundle capacity or cause bit-rate mismatches on the emulated circuit -- a software/protocol health indicator for TDM-over-packet services. It depends on pseudowire emulation standards (PWE3, e.g., IETF/MFA Forum conventions) for the underlying transport model. It is typically deployed on Zhone access/aggregation equipment providing TDM circuit emulation over a packet-switched network. Engineers can download the ZHONE-PW-BUNDLE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator would poll the pseudowire bundle table to confirm all member DS0 pseudowires report an up/active status, and would flag a bundle as degraded if one member PW is down, since this reduces available bandwidth on the emulated circuit. Load-balancing parameters would be checked to confirm traffic is being distributed evenly across the remaining active members after a member failure.
