Description: Provides configuration management objects for saving, restoring, and versioning device configurations.

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 CONFIG-MGMT-MIB?

CONFIG-MGMT-MIB is a Nortel Networks proprietary MIB (extending NT-ENTERPRISE-DATA-MIB) tracking configuration-change and save events across current, local (NVRAM/flash), and remote (network-server) configuration locations. Its objects cover a network-operation table (random number, command, address, filename, status) for triggering remote save/load operations, current-configuration last-changed/last-saved timestamps, a max-events setting, an event table (time, protocol, source/destination, login type, terminal user, source address, filename), and change/save notification-enable flags with corresponding notifications. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm when a device's configuration was last changed or saved, and audit who made the change. It is deployed on Nortel Networks routers/switches. Engineers can download the CONFIG-MGMT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in 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

Nortel Networks routers/switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator reviews nncfgEventTable to audit who last changed a Nortel device's configuration and whether it was subsequently saved to NVRAM.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
nnconfigMgmtMib	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4			Configuration management MIB. This MIB represents a model of configuration data that exists in various locations: current In use by the running system. local Saved locally in NVRAM or flash. remote Saved to some server on the network. The purpose of this MIB is to track changes and saves of the current configuration.
nncfgOperations	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1
nncfgNetOperTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1		not-accessible	A table of configuration from network operation entries. Each entry represents a separate operation to configure the system from a file located on a server on the network. The management station should create an entry with a random number as an index to perform the operation. The management station should then retrieve the entry with the same random number as an index and examine the value of the cfgNetOperStatus variable to get the status of the operation.
nncfgNetOperEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1		not-accessible	Entry to initiate an operation. Each entry consists of a command and required parameters. Once the operation completes, the management station should retrieve the value of the status object and delete the entry from the table.
I32 nncfgNetOperRandomNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1.1	Integer32	not-accessible	Object specifying a unique entry in the table. A management station wishing to initiate a configuration operation should use a pseudo-random value for this object when creating a cfgNetOperEntry.
INT nncfgNetOperCommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The commands to be executed configure from the network or save the configuration to the network. Command Remarks. config Configure from network. save Save configuration to network.
IP nncfgNetOperAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1.3	IpAddress	read-write	The Internet address of the server.
STR nncfgNetOperFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The destination or source file name on the network server.
INT nncfgNetOperStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.1.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	Represents the status of the operation. If the operation has not started or an operation is not being performed, then the value of this object would be idle(0).
nncfgMgmtEvents	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2
TIK nncfgCurrentLastChanged	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.1	TimeTicks	read-only	The last time the current configuration was changed.
TIK nncfgCurrentLastSaved	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.2	TimeTicks	read-only	The last time the current configuration was saved.
INT nncfgMaxEvents	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.3	INTEGER	read-only	The maximum number of entries that can be held in the cfgEventTable. The system stores the 20 most recent history events in a circular style. These events are also saved to flash. Up to the last 10 entries can be saved if space is available in flash.
nncfgEventTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4		not-accessible	A table of configuration history events.
nncfgEventEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1		not-accessible	Entry holding information about a configuration event.
INT nncfgEventIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.1	INTEGER	not-accessible	Index in the history event table.
TIK nncfgEventTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.2	TimeTicks	read-only	The time when the configuration occurred.
INT nncfgEventConfigProtocol	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The source of the command that resulted in the event.
CFG nncfgEventConfigSrc	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.4	CfgMedium	read-only	The configuration data source for the event.

STR nncfgEventTerminalUser	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.7	DisplayString	read-only	This object represents the logged in user name if configuration is via the CLI. It represents the community name if configuration is via SNMP. Otherwise, the object string length is zero if not available or not applicable.
IP nncfgEventConfigSrcAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.8	IpAddress	read-only	The Internet address of the connected system. The value is 0.0.0.0 if not available or not applicable.
STR nncfgEventFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.73.1.1.1.4.2.4.1.9	DisplayString	read-only	If the system is set for configuration via a network, then this object represents the file name on some server.
