Description: Configures and monitors SSH server settings and sessions 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-SSH-MIB?
CIENA-CES-SSH-MIB is a Ciena-specific MIB that configures and monitors the SSH server on Ciena's Carrier Ethernet Solutions (CES) switch platforms. It exposes SSH server administrative state and global server settings as its principal objects in this excerpt, making it primarily a security-configuration/software-status MIB rather than one covering physical sensors. Its monitoring relevance is confirming whether remote management access via SSH is enabled and correctly configured on the device — a software/service status check analogous to monitoring whether a management daemon is running — rather than tracking CPU, memory, or environmental readings. It is a vendor extension typically used alongside Ciena's broader CES system and security MIBs rather than any IETF SSH-related standard (no formal IETF SSH MIB exists). It is deployed on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches in service-provider and enterprise Ethernet transport networks where secure remote CLI access needs to be verified and audited. Engineers can download the CIENA-CES-SSH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-SSH-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 switch
Monitoring Examples
An operator would check cienaCesSSHServerAdminState under cienaCesSSHServerGlobal (within cienaCesSSHMIBObjects) to confirm whether the SSH server is administratively enabled on the switch, useful when auditing whether secure management access is available or has been inadvertently disabled. Because only server-level administrative/global objects are shown here rather than a per-session table, this MIB appears oriented toward server enablement status rather than tracking individual active SSH sessions.
What Can Be Monitored
- SSH server administrative state
- SSH server global configuration status
