Description: Core enterprise MIB for Borderware Technologies security gateway system management and identification.

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 BORDERWARE-MIB?

BORDERWARE-MIB is a Borderware Technology Inc. (enterprise OID 8673, firewall/security-gateway vendor) proprietary MIB reporting memory and disk-usage statistics. Its objects cover total/available swap and real memory (numeric and text forms), total-free memory, minimum-swap threshold, shared/buffer/cached memory, a swap-error flag and message, and a disk table (index, path, device, minimum space, minimum-percent threshold, total space). As a performance/status MIB it lets an administrator watch memory pressure and disk-space headroom on a Borderware security gateway. It is deployed on Borderware Technology Inc. security-gateway/firewall appliances. Engineers can download the BORDERWARE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Borderware Technology Inc. security-gateway/firewall appliances

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks memAvailReal and dskMinPercent to catch a Borderware security gateway running low on memory or disk space.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ssCpuRawUser OID:

Select a Borderware Technology Inc. security-gateway/firewall appliance (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ssCpuRawUser into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports user CPU time. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if utilization exceeds 85%, a common warning threshold before sustained high load affects performance. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
