RE: (ASCEND) MIB's

["Troy Settle" <troy@picus.com>]

** Hi !
** Does anyone know the exact place to find all MIBs in use with TNT or
** MAX-6000?

Let's see if I can at least give you some of your answers...  perhaps not
the ones you're looking for though.

** I'm needing to find out MIBs to:
** 1) Account disconnect causes

This information is in syslog and your detail files.  We write accounting
data directly into a SQL database, giving us the ability to pull reports at
a moment's notice (how many of what type of disconnect over the last xx
days).

** 2) Number of available modems

I'm not sure of the OID for this.  What we use, are the counters for active
PRI channels:

Wan1: 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.2
Wan2: 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.3
Wan3: 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.4
Wan4: 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.5

There are others availiable for the TNT.  Walking the
1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7 OID will yeild the numbers you're looking for.  If
you back out one or 2 more levels, you'll see some other numbers that might
answer other questions ;)

** 3) IP performance

Not quite sure what you're asking here...

** 4) CPU utilization (as percentage)

This, my friend, is the $64k question.  From discussions on this list for
the last 3 years, I don't believe that this information is available through
SNMP.

** 5) Number of busy modems

See item #3.  Again, we don't count modems.  After all, who cares if 4 out
of 96 modems are idle when all 92 B channels are busy?  (or fewer busy
modems if there are ISDN users logged in)

**
** Thanx,
**

You're welcome.  I hope that this information is of some use for you.  The
only items obtained through SNMP that we've found very useful, are those
that count the busy channels on a PRI.  We use this for predicting when we
need to add additional capacity.  Everything else we need is obtained
through radius accounting data.

Good luck with the rest,
