What Is ATTO6500N-MIB?

ATTO6500N-MIB is ATTO Technology's vendor MIB for the FibreBridge 6500N, a Fibre Channel-to-SAS storage protocol bridge used to connect SAS-attached disk/tape storage to Fibre Channel SANs. It exposes device identification and inventory objects, bridgeUniqueId, vendorID, modelName, serialNumber, bridgeName, hardwareVersion, alongside dual-bank firmware version and build-date tracking (primary/secondary firmware revision and build date) reflecting the bridge's failover firmware design. Its monitoring purpose centers on hardware and software status: administrators track uptime and lastReboot to catch unexpected restarts, verify primaryFirmwareRevision/secondaryFirmwareRevision to confirm firmware compliance and know which bank is active, and use identification objects for asset tracking; the broader MIB also covers port status and error counters for the FC/SAS bridging ports. It is a self-contained vendor MIB with its own enterprise structure (attotech/attoProducts/attoMgmt) that operates within a SAN environment alongside standard FC-MIB-style monitoring on adjacent fabric switches. It's deployed wherever ATTO FibreBridge 6500N units bridge legacy or SAS-only storage/tape devices into a Fibre Channel SAN, common in backup/archive and storage migration scenarios. Engineers can download the ATTO6500N-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ATTO6500N-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

  • ATTO FibreBridge 6500N FC-to-SAS storage bridge

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll uptime and lastReboot to detect an unexpected bridge restart that could explain a storage path outage, and check primaryFirmwareRevision/secondaryFirmwareRevision to confirm the bridge is running the expected/compliant firmware bank after an upgrade. serialNumber and bridgeName would be used to positively identify a specific unit when troubleshooting a SAN with multiple bridges, and modelName/vendorID confirm hardware inventory during an audit. The full MIB's port-level status and error counters, beyond this sample, would be layered on top of this for detecting FC or SAS link problems.

What Can Be Monitored

  • bridge uptime
  • last reboot time
  • primary/secondary firmware revision
  • firmware build date
  • bridge serial number/identification
  • hardware version
