What Is AISYSTEM-MIB?

AISYSTEM-MIB is a vendor MIB from Applied Innovation for its out-of-band console/access server appliances, providing system-level identification, discovery, and status/trap objects. It exposes device inventory data (product name, serial number, manufacture date) via a module discovery table, along with trap-related status objects tracking whether the system sends status traps and the last trap sequence/message. It is used to monitor the hardware/software status of the appliance — confirming discovered module identity and serial numbers, tracking discovery-database change timestamps, and monitoring the health of its trap-notification subsystem to ensure alerts are being generated. It appears to be a self-contained enterprise MIB without strong dependency on other standard MIBs. It is typically deployed on Applied Innovation's out-of-band console server/remote access appliances used for lights-out management of network equipment in central offices and data centers. Technicians setting up SNMP polling for one of these appliances typically load the AISYSTEM-MIB MIB into their management platform first so that the discovery table's module identity and trap objects resolve correctly.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AISYSTEM-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • discovered module product name/serial number
  • module manufacture date
  • trap notification status
  • last trap sequence number/message
  • discovery database last-changed timestamp

Supported Devices

  • Applied Innovation out-of-band console/access server appliance

Monitoring Examples

An admin can poll aiSysDiscModuleTable/aiSysModuleTableEntry (indexed by aiSysMTIndex) to retrieve aiSysMTProductName, aiSysMTSerialNumber, and aiSysMTManufDate for each discovered module, confirming hardware inventory. aiSystemLastTrapSequenceNum and aiSystemLastTrapMsg let the admin verify the last notification sent, while aiSystemDiscLastChanged reveals when the discovery database was last updated, useful for confirming the appliance is actively tracking connected devices.

OIDs
OID symbolicOID numericTypeAccessDescription
aii1.3.6.1.4.1.539
aiSystem1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8The System MIB Module for AI Equipment
T/F aiSystemSendsStatusTraps1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.1TruthValueread-onlyThis flag indicates whether or not this agent sends traps when its ports change status. The TruthValue syntax defines values of true(1) and false(2).
INT aiSystemLastTrapSequenceNum1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.2INTEGERread-onlyThis is the sequence number of the last trap sent by this agent. The sequence number starts at zero following a hardware reset or power-up. When the sequence number reaches 0xffffffff, it rolls over to 0 on the next trap. If the agent supports trap sequence numbers, it must include the trap sequence number when it sends traps and it must notify the CLC via a window transaction after each trap. When this varbind appears in a trap, this is the sequence number of that trap.
STR aiSystemLastTrapMsg1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.3DisplayStringread-onlyThe message text which was inserted in the last trap sent by this agent. If this agent does not support traps, the string is blank. When this varbind appears in a trap, the value is the message for that trap.
aiSystemDisc1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4
INT aiSystemDiscVersion1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.1INTEGERread-onlyThe version of the aiSystem discovery tables supported by the SNMP agent. Each time modifications are made to the syntax of any part of this MIB under the aiSystemDisc branch, the version number must be incremented. For example, if a new column is added to a table or a new value is added to an enum object, the version must be incremented. If a description is changed or an object name is changed, the version is not incremented.
DAT aiSystemDiscLastChanged1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.2DateAndTimeread-onlyThe date and time of the last change to any object under the aiSystemDisc branch of this MIB. The DateAndTime type is a structured OCTET STRING, defined in v2-tc.my (SNMPv2 Textual Conventions).
aiSysDiscModuleTable1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3not-accessibleA table of modules in the system.
aiSysModuleTableEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3.1not-accessibleInformation unique to a particular module.
OID aiSysMTIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3.1.1OBJECT IDENTIFIERread-onlyThe index for the module or submodule described in this row. The top-level module's oid is always 1.1. Submodules nest within the top-level module (e.g. 1.1.1, 1.1.2,...) and may have submodules nested within them to an arbitrary level(e.g. 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2,...). Each hardware component which has a product code that can be read or inferred by the SNMP agent may appear as a row in this table. The nesting of modules within modules describes the hierarchy of the hardware components that make up the top-level module.
STR aiSysMTProductName1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3.1.2DisplayStringread-onlyThe product name of the module. This is the name from the module's auto-id part, if it has one.
STR aiSysMTSerialNumber1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3.1.3DisplayStringread-onlyThe serial number of the module. This is the serial number from the module's auto-id part, if it has one.
STR aiSysMTManufDate1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.3.1.4DisplayStringread-onlyThe date of manufacture of the module. This is the manufacture date from the module's auto-id part, if it has one.
aiSysDiscStatumTable1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4not-accessibleA table of statums in the system.
aiSysStatumTableEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1not-accessibleInformation unique to a particular statum.
OID aiSysSTIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.1OBJECT IDENTIFIERread-onlyThe index for the statum described in this row. This is a module table index (aiSysMTIndex) with a unique statum number appended (e.g. 1.1.1.2.1, 1.1.1.2.2,... where 1.1.1.2 is the module table index and 1, 2,... are statum numbers). The module table identifier is from the parent module that contains the port or point associated with this entry, or the top-level module, if this statum is not associated with a specific hardware assembly.
STR aiSysSTLabel1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.2DisplayStringread-onlyA label that uniquely identifies this statum within its faceplate.
OID aiSysSTFaceplateModule1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.3OBJECT IDENTIFIERread-onlyThe module table index (aiSysMTIndex) of the module table entry associated with the faceplate that this statum's connector extends from. This may be the module this statum is nested under or any other module, including the top-level module of the system.
INT aiSysSTFaceplateOpening1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.4INTEGERread-onlyThe identifier of the faceplate opening that this statum's connector extends from. Each opening in a given faceplate must have a unique numeric identifier.
INT aiSysSTOpeningIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.5INTEGERread-onlyA number that identifies the index of the statum in its opening identified in aiSysSTFaceplateOpening. If only one statum is accessible from an opening then that statum has an opening index of 1. If more than one statum is accessible through an opening, then the first statum is given the index of 1. Each successive statum for an opening has an index of one greater than the previous statum's opening index.
NUM aiSysSTHwIntType1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.6AIIHwIntTyperead-onlyIdentifies the hardware interface type for the statum.
AII aiSysSTConnType1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.7AIIConnTyperead-onlyIdentifies the connector type for the statum. If a statum is internal to the device, aiSysSTFaceplateOpening equal to 0, then its connector type should be 'noConnType'. If a statum has a proprietary connector then its connector type should be 'propConnType'.
INT aiSysSTMonTabIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.4.4.1.8INTEGERread-onlyThe index into the table which is used to monitor the status of the statum (e.g. statums of type serialSync should have their aiLinkTable index identified).
aiSystemManagerTable1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.5not-accessibleTable of IP addresses to which SNMP traps will be sent, indexed by an integer.
aiSystemManagerTableEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.5.1not-accessibleEntry of aiSystemManagerTable.
NUM aisysManagerIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.5.1.1PositiveIntegerread-onlyIndex into this table of SNMP managers.
IP aisysManagerAddress1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.5.1.2IpAddressread-writeSNMP manager IP address. 0.0.0.0 indicates an unused entry.
INT aiSystemCmdReboot1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.6INTEGERread-writeConfigured boot status of the system. A write of boot(2) when this object is in up(1) state will cause the system to reboot. Any other write will have no effect.
OCT aiSystemStatusLastConfig1.3.6.1.4.1.539.8.7OCTET STRINGread-onlyAn md5sum hash of the current configuration file. This will be used as a timestamp of a sort by the management station.
