CISCOSB-TBI-MIB

Description: Manages Telnet/SSH back-interface (TBI) configuration for out-of-band management on Cisco Small Business 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.

CISCOSB-TBI-MIB (Time-Based Infrastructure) is a Cisco Small Business private MIB; despite a short description elsewhere referencing Telnet/SSH back-interface, the module content itself defines a generic time-range scheduling infrastructure used to activate other switch features only during configured time windows. It exposes configuration data for named time ranges, including absolute start/end date-times, and periodic (recurring weekly) schedules with weekday lists and daily start times, plus a row/active status per entry. Its main monitorable software-status value is the active-status flag on each time range entry, which tells an administrator in real time whether a given time-based rule (e.g., an ACL, port security, or other feature tied to that time range) is currently in effect. It has no dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMPv2 row-status and textual-convention infrastructure, and it is meant to be referenced by other feature MIBs on the switch that need time-based activation. It's typically deployed on Cisco Small Business (SG/SF series) switches where administrators schedule features like access lists or port controls to apply only during business hours or other defined windows. Engineers can download the CISCOSB-TBI-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator configures rlTBITimeRangeTable/rlTBITimeRangeEntry with a name, rlTBITimeRangeAbsoluteStart and rlTBITimeRangeAbsoluteEnd, or instead uses rlTBIPeriodicTable with rlTBIPeriodicWeekDayList and rlTBIPeriodicStart for a recurring schedule. Polling rlTBITimeRangeActiveStatus reveals whether the named time range is currently active, which is useful for confirming that a time-dependent feature (such as an ACL) turned on or off exactly when expected. rlTBITimeRangeRowStatus shows whether an entry is properly provisioned (active) or still being created/destroyed.
