Description: Cisco (formerly Altiga Networks) MIB providing hardware statistics for VPN concentrator appliances, including board-level sensor data such as voltage, temperature, and fan status.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring ALTIGA-HARDWARE-STATS-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is ALTIGA-HARDWARE-STATS-MIB?

ALTIGA-HARDWARE-STATS-MIB is a Cisco (formerly Altiga Networks) MIB modeling board-level hardware health for the VPN 3000 Concentrator appliance, per its own stated acronym list covering CPU, power supply (PS), and RPM (fan speed) sensors. It exposes per-sensor voltage readings, alarm flags, alarm occurrence counts, and alarm timestamps for components such as the CPU and power supplies. This is squarely a hardware-monitoring MIB: it directly surfaces CPU voltage rail health, power-supply voltage rail health (e.g., 3V/5V rails), and how often and when each sensor tripped an alarm, which is exactly the kind of data used to catch a failing power supply or CPU voltage regulator before it takes the device down. It is a standalone Altiga-proprietary MIB rather than a reuse of the standard ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB. It is deployed for hardware health monitoring of Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator appliances in remote-access VPN gateway deployments. Engineers can download the ALTIGA-HARDWARE-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTIGA-HARDWARE-STATS-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.

Supported Devices

  • Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrator (formerly Altiga Networks)

Monitoring Examples

alHardwareCpuVoltage paired with alHardwareCpuVoltageAlarm lets an admin see whether the CPU voltage rail is currently out of tolerance, while alHardwareCpuVoltageCount and alHardwareCpuVoltageTime record how many times and when that alarm has fired. alHardwarePs1Voltage3v/alHardwarePs1Voltage5v and their corresponding alarm, count, and time objects monitor the primary power supply's voltage rails, flagging a degrading PSU before it causes an outage.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CPU voltage level and alarm state
  • power supply voltage rails (3V/5V)
  • voltage alarm occurrence count
  • voltage alarm timestamp
  • overall hardware sensor health

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alHardwareCpuVoltageCount OID:

Select a Cisco (Altiga) VPN 3000 Series Concentrator (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type alHardwareCpuVoltageCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of alarm events for CPU voltage. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
