Description: Monitors Cabletron/Enterasys chassis hardware components including modules, power supplies, and fan status.

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 CT-CHASSIS-MIB?

CT-CHASSIS-MIB is a Cabletron Systems proprietary MIB identifying and inventorying hub-based or standalone chassis hardware. It exposes a chassis-type identifier (a vendor-authoritative OID under the SMI enterprises subtree unambiguously naming the chassis/device model), a backplane table describing backplane type and slot count, and a component table tracking each installed component's ID and administrative status. As a hardware-inventory MIB it lets an administrator confirm exactly which chassis model and backplane are installed and check each component's administrative status. It is deployed on Cabletron chassis-based hub/switch hardware. Engineers can download the CT-CHASSIS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CT-CHASSIS-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

  • Cabletron Systems chassis-based hub/switch hardware

Monitoring Examples

An administrator reads chType to unambiguously identify a chassis model during an inventory audit, then checks chCompAdminStatus per component to confirm all expected modules are administratively enabled.

What Can Be Monitored

  • chassis/backplane type and slot count
  • per-component administrative status
