Description: Alteon private MIBs root registration MIB defining the enterprise OID subtree for all Alteon proprietary MIBs.

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 ALTEON-PRIVATE-MIBS?

ALTEON-PRIVATE-MIBS is an Alteon WebSystems (later Nortel/Radware) proprietary MIB (enterprise OID 1872) reporting hardware inventory and firmware management on Alteon content-switching appliances. Its objects cover hardware part number/revision, power-supply status (including redundant PSU presence/status), four temperature sensors, save/apply-configuration actions and pending-apply flag, a reset action, software/boot/image version reporting, real-time clock date/time, and TFTP-based firmware download configuration (server IP, filename, download trigger). As a hardware/software-status MIB it lets an administrator monitor temperature and redundant power-supply health, and drive a TFTP firmware upgrade. It is deployed on Alteon (Nortel/Radware) content-switching appliances. Engineers can download the ALTEON-PRIVATE-MIBS file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTEON-PRIVATE-MIBS. 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

  • Alteon (Nortel/Radware) content-switching appliances

Monitoring Examples

An administrator monitors hwSensor1Temp through hwSensor4Temp alongside hwRedundantPSStatus to catch an Alteon switch approaching a thermal or power-redundancy problem before it affects service.

What Can Be Monitored

  • hardware temperature and power-supply status
  • firmware version and TFTP upgrade state
