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-SW-XGRADE-MIB?

CIENA-CES-SW-XGRADE-MIB is a Ciena enterprise MIB for the Carrier Ethernet Solutions (CES) switch platform, covering software upgrade and downgrade ("xgrade") operations within the device software-lifecycle-management area. Based on its module description, it primarily defines notification objects related to software xgrade events, used to alert operators about the progress or outcome of a firmware upgrade/downgrade operation on a Ciena CES switch. Its monitoring value is squarely in software status tracking: it lets an NMS detect when an upgrade or downgrade starts, completes successfully, or fails, which is critical for confirming a maintenance-window firmware change actually took effect and the switch is running the intended software version. It presumably depends on or complements a broader Ciena CES system/inventory MIB that reports the actual running software version, since this module's stated scope is specifically the xgrade notifications rather than general version reporting. Typical deployment is carrier/service-provider Ethernet networks using Ciena CES switches, where software upgrades are performed remotely and operators rely on SNMP traps to confirm upgrade success across a fleet. Engineers can download the CIENA-CES-SW-XGRADE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-SW-XGRADE-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.

Monitoring Examples

Since the module description states its scope is 'software xgrade related notifications' and no object/table names were provided in the source excerpt, no specific object names can be confirmed; the honest characterization is that this MIB is notification-oriented, letting an NMS subscribe to traps signaling the start, success, or failure of a software upgrade/downgrade job on a Ciena CES switch. An operator performing a fleet-wide firmware upgrade would rely on these traps rather than polling to confirm each switch completed the xgrade operation without error, and would investigate any switch that raises a failure notification instead of a success trap.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
cienaCesSwXgradeMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13			This module defines the software xgrade related notifications.
cienaCesSwXgradeMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13.1
cienaCesSwXgrade	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13.1.1
T/F cienaCesSwXgradeGracefulUpgrade	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13.1.1.1	TruthValue	accessible-for-notify	This object specifies whether a graceful upgrade was issued. Returns True(1) if a graceful upgrade was issued. False(2) otherwise.
INT cienaCesSwXgradeOp	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13.1.1.2	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	The possible operations for upgrading the software, including: none: No upgrade operation is selected. download: This operation is to initiate the file transfer of the software package from the TFTP server specified by cienaCesSwXgradePackagePath to cienaCesSwXgradeDestPath. The default TFTP server is used for file transfer if the cienaCesSwXgradeTftpServer is set to an empty string. install: This operation is to install the software to the standby CTM (if present) and all line modules. The image files are either stored in the TFTP server specified by cienaCesSwXgradePackagePath and cienaCesSwXgradeTftpServer or in the compact flash of the active CTM. activate: This operation is to activate any new software installed on all the modules. The system automatically reverts to the previous software package if a protect operation is not set within a time period specified by cienaCesSwXgradeRevertTimeout. If no time period is specified (cienaCesSwXgradeRevertTimeout value 0), then the system does not revert automatically and remains in the unprotected state indefinitely. WARNING: Activating software requires a system restart. protect: This operation protects a new software package. If the protect operation is not entered before the protect timeout is reached (specified by cienaCesSwXgradeReverTimeout), the system automatically reverts to the previous software package. revert: This operation reverts to the previous software package. validate: This operation validates the software package at the location specified by the cienaCesSwXgradePackagePath. Setting the cienaCesSwXgradePackagePath to an empty string validates the installed software. run: This operation refers to the downloading, parsing, and executing of a specified command file as initiated through CLI, DHCP, or the file transfer MIB module. This is used in appropriate notifications to report the completion of such event. An error is returned when this object is attempted to be set to this value using an SNMP set-request. remove: This operation is to remove an installed software package from the CTMs and all line modules.
INT cienaCesSwXgradeStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.13.1.1.3	INTEGER	accessible-for-notify	Display the result of the last cienaCesSwXgradeOp.

NTF cienaCesSwXgradeCompletion	1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.2.13.0.1			A cienaCesSwXgradeCompletion notification is sent at the completion of a cienaCesSwXgradeOp (download/install/activate/ ... etc). To enable the device to send this trap, cienaCesSwXgradeCompletionTrapState must be set to enabled. The cienaCesSwXgradeCompletionTrapState is enabled by default. Variable bindings include: cienaGlobalSeverity, cienaGlobalMacAddress, cienaCesSwXgradeOp, cienaCesSwXgradeStatus, and cienaCesSwXgradeGracefulUpgrade.
