What Is CONTIVITY-INFO-V1-MIB?
CONTIVITY-INFO-V1-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module for the Nortel Contivity Extranet Switch/VPN concentrator family, a line of IPsec/SSL VPN gateway appliances widely used in enterprise remote-access and site-to-site VPN deployments. It exposes operational status and configuration information for the switch, generally covering VPN tunnel state, system configuration, and device identity data typical of this product line. Its monitoring value centers on software/service status for the VPN function: administrators use it to check whether the VPN service and its tunnels are operating correctly, alongside general device configuration and possibly uptime, as part of tracking the health of the extranet switch. As a Nortel enterprise MIB it likely sits alongside other Contivity-specific MIBs (e.g. tunnel and routing MIBs) and standard MIB-II objects for basic system data. It is typically deployed in enterprise networks using Nortel Contivity appliances to terminate remote-access or branch-office VPN connections. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CONTIVITY-INFO-V1-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CONTIVITY-INFO-V1-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 Contivity VPN concentrator / Extranet Switch
Monitoring Examples
No sample runtime objects were supplied for this module, so specific object names cannot be grounded here; in practice an administrator would expect to poll device configuration and VPN service status objects on the Contivity switch to confirm the extranet switch and its VPN tunnels remain operational, alerting on any reported configuration or service-state anomalies.
