What Is CTRON-FRONTPANEL-MIB?

CTRON-FRONTPANEL-MIB is a Cabletron Systems proprietary MIB managing front-panel redundancy on Cabletron chassis hardware, a feature providing a backup management path via the chassis front panel. It exposes a reset control, polling interval and retry-count parameters, the currently active redundant port, an enable flag, and a table of addresses eligible for the redundancy scheme. As a configuration/hardware-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm front-panel redundancy is enabled and identify which port is currently active before relying on it during a primary-path failure. It is deployed on Cabletron chassis hardware supporting front-panel management redundancy. Engineers can download the CTRON-FRONTPANEL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-FRONTPANEL-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 hardware with front-panel management redundancy

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks ctFpRedundEnable and ctFpRedundActivePort to confirm front-panel redundancy is armed and identify which port would take over management access if the primary path failed.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ctFpRedund	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1
INT ctFpRedundReset	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	If this object is set to Reset it will cause a reset of the front panel redundancy. Setting this object to NoReset will do nothing. This object will always be read as NoReset.
INT ctFpRedundPollInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	Get/Set the number of seconds between polls for front panel redundancy.
INT ctFpRedundRetrys	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Get/Set the the number of unanswered polls allowed for the front panel redundancy before it switches ports.
INT ctFpRedundNumAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	Get the number of IP Addresses associated with front panel redundancy.
IP ctFpRedundAddAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.5	IpAddress	read-write	Add an IP Address to the polling list for the front panel redundancy.
IP ctFpRedundDelAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.6	IpAddress	read-write	Delete an IP Address from the polling list for the front panel redundancy.
INT ctFpRedundActivePort	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	Get/Set the front panel port you want to be active when front panel redundancy is enabled.
INT ctFpRedundEnable	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	If this object is set to enable, the front panel redundancy will be activated. If this object is set to disable, the front panel redundancy will be deactivated. When read, this object will returns the state of the object based on the last request made.
ctFpRedundAddrTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.9		not-accessible
ctFpRedundAddrEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.9.1		not-accessible
INT ctFpRedundAddrId	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.9.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique value identifying an element in a sequence of member IP Addresses which belong to the front panel redundancy. This value goes from 1 to the maximum number of IP Addresses which may be included in front panel redundancy.
IP ctFpRedundAddrIPAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.5.1.9.1.2	IpAddress	read-only	Returns an IP Address associated with the front panel redundancy.
