Description: Altiga (Cisco VPN 3000) version statistics MIB providing software version, build, and platform identity information.
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 ALTIGA-VERSION-STATS-MIB?
This MIB, from Altiga Networks (later Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator line), exposes software version and build identity information for the device. It provides objects reporting the major/minor version numbers, full version string, build number, and boot/bootloader version. Its primary monitoring role is software status - specifically confirming which firmware/software version and build a concentrator is running, useful for inventory audits, compliance checks, and verifying a device has been upgraded as expected after a maintenance window. It relies on the ALTIGA-CAP root MIB for its object hierarchy placement. It's typically deployed on Altiga/Cisco VPN 3000 series VPN concentrators for software asset and version tracking. Engineers can download the ALTIGA-VERSION-STATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALTIGA-VERSION-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
- Altiga Networks / Cisco VPN 3000 series VPN concentrators
Monitoring Examples
An admin polls alVersionString or alVersionLong to retrieve the full human-readable software version running on a VPN 3000 concentrator, cross-checking alVersionMajor/alVersionMinor/alVersionInt for programmatic version comparisons. alVersionBoot reports the bootloader version, which is useful to confirm after a firmware upgrade that both the boot code and main image are at expected levels; a mismatch here could indicate an incomplete upgrade.
What Can Be Monitored
- software version (major/minor)
- full version string
- build number
- boot/bootloader version
