AT-FILE-MIB

Description: Manages flash file system operations including file listing, transfer, and deletion on Allied Telesis network devices.

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.

This is an Allied Telesis private MIB providing access to the device's flash/onboard file system, letting administrators list, transfer, and delete files such as firmware images and configuration backups. It exposes a file table capturing file name, storage device, creation time, status, and size for each stored file, essentially file-system inventory and status data rather than traffic counters. This directly supports monitoring software status on the device: administrators can confirm the correct firmware image or configuration file is present, check fileStatus to detect corrupted or incomplete files, and watch fileSize/fileNumbers to catch storage exhaustion before it prevents an upgrade or reboot. It's a self-contained vendor MIB with no notable dependency on external standard MIBs beyond generic SNMPv2-SMI conventions. It is typically deployed on Allied Telesis switches and routers for remote firmware/config file management and storage-health monitoring, and the AT-FILE-MIB download is available for administrators to load into their MIB browser.

An administrator polls fileTable / fileEntry, using fileIndex to look up fileName, fileDevice, fileSize, and fileStatus for each stored file, confirming a newly uploaded firmware image is complete and marked valid before triggering a reboot. A file with an error fileStatus or fileNumbers approaching the device's storage limit would indicate a failed transfer or an at-capacity flash file system.
