Description: Provides device identification and inventory objects for Belden/Hirschmann industrial Ethernet 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 BCS-IDENT-MIB?

BCS-IDENT-MIB is an industrial-networking identification module (originating from Motorola's BCS line and carried forward through Belden/Hirschmann industrial Ethernet products) providing common device identification and inventory objects. It exposes basic identity data such as device model, hardware/firmware version, and similar inventory attributes rather than deep performance counters. Its monitoring role is centered on software/hardware inventory visibility — confirming what firmware or hardware revision a switch is running, which supports asset tracking and helps flag devices that need a firmware update or that don't match an expected baseline. It underlies other BCS-family MIB modules that provide fuller status and configuration data, serving as the common identity layer for that vendor's industrial switch product line. It underpins BCS-IDENT-MIB SNMP monitoring wherever it is deployed, on Belden/Hirschmann (formerly Motorola BCS) industrial Ethernet switches used in factory automation, utility, and other ruggedized networking environments.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BCS-IDENT-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

Hirschmann BOBCAT BRS40 Series — current industrial full-gigabit Ethernet switch with TSN support

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured for this module in this batch, so specific object names cannot be cited verbatim; conceptually, an administrator would poll this MIB's identity objects to confirm a switch's model and firmware version match the expected inventory baseline, useful for detecting devices running outdated or unexpected firmware across an industrial network.

INT identCommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.13	INTEGER	read-write	This is the command to be executed by the resource managed by the agent. The value unspecified is always returned on SNMP Get/GetNext while the resource is running.

ENT identIfEntryStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14.1.17	EntryStatus	read-write	This object is used to create, delete or modify a row in this table. To create a a new network element, this object is initially set to 'createRequest'. After completion of the configuration of the new entry, the manager must set the appropriate instance of this object to the value valid(1) or aborts, setting this object to invalid(4). This object must not be set to 'active' unless the following columnar objects exist in this row: identIfExtensionIndex identIfSerialNumber identIfHardwareVersion identIfInventoryCode identIfFirmwareVersion1 identIfSpecific To delete an existing entry in this table, the manager must set the appropriate instance of this object to the value invalid(4). Creation of an instance of this object has the effect of creating the supplemental object instances to complete the conceptual row. An existing instance of this entry cannot be created. If circumstances occur which cause an entry to become invalid, the agent modifies the value of the appropriate instance of this object to invalid(4). Whenever, the value of this object for a particular entry becomes invalid(4), the conceptual row for that instance may be removed from the table at any time, either immediately or subsequently.
identIfExtensionEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14.1		not-accessible	An entry (conceptual row) in the Board Table.
INT identIfExtensionIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	Same value as ifIndex of MIB II for the same board.
identIfExtensionTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14		not-accessible	This table contains extensions to the MIB II ifTable which contains the definitions of all interfaces. An ifTable entry may be a board or just a port on a board. Any ifTable entry can have an extension in the identIfExtensionTable. The corrsponding entry in that table will have the identIfIndex = ifIndex. Within the ifTable the presence of such an entry is indicated by setting the variable ifSpecific to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value of identIfExtensionTable. Otherwise iFSpecific is set to {0 0}. The ifType - other - is used for all board types not envisoned by MIB II.
STR identIfFirmwareVersion1	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14.1.6	DisplayString	read-only	Within a product, there may be several identifiers of such firmware, boot proms, kernel versions, flash versions, etc. This field (and the 3 that follow) are used to hold the identification of these items. These values must be entered into the board at the time of manufacturing. Unused fields are reported as null values. These fields are available to the network manager for applications that keep track of the firmware related identification. There is no specification of the internal format of firmware version identifiers.

STR identIfInventoryCode	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.14.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	This contains a display string that defines the inventory code for this board. This is an optional value; if there is no inventory code, The unit will respond with a null string. Once an inventory code has been set, it should be kept in non-volatile memory. The unit should only allow this object to be set when it is in the 'configuration' mode. There is no specification of the internal format of the inventory Code.

This contains a display string that defines the area in which the unit is installed. Location is defined by a set of three objects: 'Area', 'Rack', and 'Shelf'. These location objects cannot be determined by the unit itself, but can only be determined by the network manager. It is available to the unit for display on a front panel. Display of the location on the front panel is useful in validating the configuration established by the network manager. The unit should only allow this object to be set when it is in the 'configuration' mode. Once the Location Area has been set, it should be kept in non-volatile memory.
STR identLocationRack	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.9	DisplayString	read-write	This contains a display string that defines the rack in which the unit is installed. Location is defined by a set of three objects: 'Area', 'Rack', and 'Shelf'. These location objects cannot be determined by the unit itself, but can only be determined by the network manager. It is available to the unit for display on a front panel. Display of the location on the front panel is useful in validating the configuration established by the network manager. The unit should only allow this object to be set when it is in the 'configuration' mode. Once the Location Area has been set, it should be kept in non-volatile memory.
STR identLocationShelf	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.10	DisplayString	read-write	This contains a display string that defines the shelf in which the unit is installed. Location is defined by a set of three objects: 'Area', 'Rack', and 'Shelf'. These location objects cannot be determined by the unit itself, but can only be determined by the network manager. It is available to the unit for display on a front panel. Display of the location on the front panel is useful in validating the configuration established by the network manager. The unit should only allow this object to be set when it is in the 'configuration' mode. Once the Location Area has been set, it should be kept in non-volatile memory.

STR identSoftwareVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.7	DisplayString	read-only	This contains a display string that defines the current version of the software for this unit. The format of the software version is a fully qualified directory name. This value is received by a unit as within a BOOTP response from the BOOTP server. It is available to the network manager for applications that track the installed software. Once the software version has been set, it should be kept in non-volatile memory.
STR identUnitModel	1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.7.1.15	DisplayString	read-only	This contains the model of the product. For example, the ITEM-1000 would contain 'ITEM1000'.
