Description: Manages configuration save, restore, and version control on Ciena CES Carrier 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 CIENA-CES-CONFIG-MGMT-MIB?

CIENA-CES-CONFIG-MGMT-MIB is a Ciena private MIB for the Carrier Ethernet Solutions (CES) product line that tracks configuration save/change history and version control on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches. Its small object set records the timestamp of the most recent running-configuration save and change (cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastSaved, cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastChanged), the mechanism used to make the last change via the CienaCesConfigMgmtContext convention (unknown, cli, snmp, netconf), and the identity of the last user and origin (cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastUser, cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastOrigin, e.g. an IP address or terminal). Two notifications, cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigSavedNotification and cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigChangeNotification, alert management systems when a save or change occurs, with the change notification applying a hysteresis mechanism to avoid flooding on rapid successive edits. It depends on CIENA-GLOBAL-MIB for severity coding and CIENA-SMI for its registration point under cienaCesConfig, and is deployed on Ciena CES switches in carrier Ethernet transport networks, as described in the CIENA-CES-CONFIG-MGMT-MIB MIB.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-CONFIG-MGMT-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

Ciena CES (Carrier Ethernet Solutions) switches

Monitoring Examples

An operator subscribes to cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigChangeNotification to track unauthorized or unexpected configuration edits, checking cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastContext and cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastUser; a change notification showing context snmp(3) with an unrecognized cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigLastOrigin IP address would flag a configuration modification from an unexpected management station.

What Can Be Monitored

last configuration save timestamp
last configuration change timestamp
configuration change context (CLI/SNMP/NETCONF)
last user and origin of configuration change
configuration save/change notifications

NTF cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigSavedNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.2.36.0.1			This notification is sent when the configuration is saved.
NTF cienaCesConfigMgmtConfigChangeNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.2.36.0.2			This notification is sent when the configuration on the device changes. A hysteresis mechanism is evaluated before sending in an effort to limit the number of events generated. This mechanism will send out one notification when an accumulation rate threshold is crossed. If the context/user/origin of a configuration change does not match the currently tracked context/user/origin, then this notification will automatically be sent. The hysteresis algorithm will then be evaluated based on the new context/user/origin.
