CISCO-VOA-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

    DESCRIPTION
        "This MIB module defines objects to configure and manage the
        Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) modules.

        VOA modules are typically used to attenuate channels added
        by a network element, in order to equalize the input power of
        each wavelength before the multiplexed signal consisting of
        all wavelengths is sent through an EDFA.  There may be
        a separate VOA per channel, one VOA per band of wavelengths,
        or one VOA for the pass through wavelengths.

        VOA modules are also often used before terminating optical
        wavelengths at optical receivers, in order to avoid receiver
        saturation.

        The VOAs may be present on various modules within the network
        element, for example, on an Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer
        (OADM) module, on the same module as an optical transceiver,
        or on a separate module of its own.

    DESCRIPTION
        "This object is used to set the mode of controlling the
        attenuation level of a VOA at an interface.

        When the mode is set to 'manual', the attenuation level is
        configured manually, by setting the desired attenuation
        level in the cVoaAttenuation object. The cVoaDesiredPower
        object does not apply in this case.

        When the mode is set to 'automatic', the attenuation level
        is continuously adjusted to maintain a desired power level,
        after attenuation. The desired optical power level after
        attenuation is configured using the cVoaDesiredPower object.
        The cVoaAttenuation object cannot be configured in this case,
        but it indicates the attenuation level derived from the
        desired power level.

        The automatic mode of controlling attenuation should not be
        used when the monitored power level includes multiple
        wavelengths, since the power level monitor cannot distinguish
        between a decrease in power across all wavelengths, versus a
        loss of power of some but not all wavelengths. If some but not
        all wavelengths go down, this would cause the attenuation level
        to be automatically decreased, leading to an increase in the
        power level of the remaining wavelengths."
