What Is ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB?

ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB is Alteon Networks' (Tigon) vendor-specific MIB for their application switch platform, covering configuration and operational status management. It exposes hardware inventory and identification data (part number, hardware revision), power supply and redundancy status, multiple onboard temperature sensor readings, and agent-level configuration-save/apply operations and status. Objects under the ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB OID tree are organized separately for hardware status (hw*) and agent configuration (ag*) prefixes. Its monitoring emphasis is squarely on hardware health: hwPowerSupplyStatus and hwRedundantPSStatus/hwRedundantPSPresent let an administrator confirm main and backup power supplies are functioning, while the hwSensor1Temp through hwSensor4Temp objects provide multi-point chassis temperature monitoring to catch overheating before it causes a failure, complemented by agent-side objects tracking whether a pending configuration change has been saved or applied. It functions as a fairly self-contained hardware/agent status MIB, though it would typically be used alongside standard interface and switching MIBs for full switch visibility. It is deployed in data centers and enterprise networks using Alteon (Tigon) application switches for server load balancing and traffic switching.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hwPowerSupplyStatus and hwRedundantPSPresent/hwRedundantPSStatus to confirm both the primary and backup power supplies of an Alteon Tigon switch are healthy, and check hwSensor1Temp through hwSensor4Temp for any sensor reporting an abnormally high chassis temperature that could indicate a cooling fan failure. The hwPartNumber and hwRevision objects would be used to confirm exact hardware model/revision during an inventory audit or firmware-compatibility check. Separately, agApplyPending combined with agSaveConfiguration/agApplyConfiguration objects let an operator verify whether a staged configuration change has actually been committed to the running switch configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • power supply status
  • redundant power supply presence/status
  • chassis temperature (multiple sensors)
  • hardware part number/revision
  • pending/applied configuration status

FAQ

How would I use ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB to catch a failing power supply on a Tigon switch?
hwPowerSupplyStatus and hwRedundantPSStatus/hwRedundantPSPresent report whether the main and backup power supplies are functioning, so an operator can alert on a status change before it causes an outage.

What else does ALTEON-TIGON-SWITCH-MIB monitor besides power?
It also provides multi-point chassis temperature via hwSensor1Temp through hwSensor4Temp to catch overheating, plus hardware part number/revision and agent-side objects tracking whether a pending configuration change has been saved or applied.
