Description: Manages digital certificate storage, enrollment, and status on Avaya/Nortel BayStack ERS switches.

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 BAY-STACK-DIGITAL-CERT?

BAY-STACK-DIGITAL-CERT is a Nortel/Avaya BayStack/ERS (Ethernet Routing Switch) enterprise MIB that manages digital certificate storage, enrollment, and status used for secure management protocols (e.g., HTTPS, SSH, 802.1X) on the switch. It exposes configuration data describing certificate subject fields (common name, organization, locality, country, email), certificate storage resource/name, and PKCS#12 passphrase handling, plus notification objects for certificate-related events. Its monitoring value is chiefly software/security-state oriented -- confirming a valid certificate is installed with expected subject attributes, tracking enrollment success/failure, and alerting via traps on certificate issues (e.g., expiry or enrollment failure) -- rather than hardware sensors. It is a self-contained Avaya/Nortel enterprise MIB, though certificate handling here parallels concepts from standard PKI/X.509 management. It is deployed on Avaya/Nortel BayStack and Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) products in environments requiring certificate-based secure management access. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the BAY-STACK-DIGITAL-CERT file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BAY-STACK-DIGITAL-CERT. 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

  • Avaya/Nortel BayStack switch
  • Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check bsDigitalCertSubjectCommonName, bsDigitalCertSubjectFqdn, and related subject fields to confirm the installed certificate's identity matches the switch's hostname, and monitor bsDigitalCertNotifications traps to catch certificate enrollment failures or expirations. Polling bsDigitalCertLocalResource and bsDigitalCertLocalName would verify which certificate is currently active in local storage. A certificate subject mismatch or a missing bsDigitalCertLocalResource entry would indicate the switch is falling back to an unverified or self-signed certificate for secure management.

What Can Be Monitored

  • installed certificate subject fields
  • certificate local storage name/resource
  • certificate enrollment status
  • certificate-related trap notifications
