Description: Monitors Cabletron SFPS chassis hardware including module inventory, slot assignments, and health 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 CTRON-SFPS-CHASSIS-MIB?
CTRON-SFPS-CHASSIS-MIB is a Cabletron Systems (Ctron) MIB for the SFPS (SmartSwitch/Fast Path Series or similar Cabletron modular chassis) product line, focused on chassis-level hardware inventory and internal management-protocol state. It exposes objects related to the chassis's internal RIP (Rapid IP/registration protocol used between chassis modules) bookkeeping, including chassis MAC identity, front-panel and in-band port masks, and API-driven status/timers used for inter-module communication. Its monitoring relevance is chassis hardware/status oriented: sfpsChassisRipStatus and sfpsChassisRipModifiedTime reflect the current health/last-change state of the chassis management layer, while sfpsChassisRipAPINumInTable and related API objects reflect the internal command/status table used to track chassis component responses. It relies on Cabletron's own chassis-management conventions rather than any external IETF standard. It is deployed in legacy Cabletron SFPS modular switch chassis in enterprise networks where module-level status and chassis identity needed SNMP visibility. Engineers can download the CTRON-SFPS-CHASSIS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-SFPS-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 SFPS modular switch chassis
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll sfpsChassisRipStatus to confirm the chassis management layer reports healthy, and check sfpsChassisRipModifiedTime to see when chassis configuration last changed, useful for correlating with an unplanned reboot. Reviewing sfpsChassisRipAPINumInTable alongside sfpsChassisRipAPITimer values would help diagnose slow or unresponsive inter-module API communication within the chassis.
What Can Be Monitored
- chassis management status
- chassis last-modified timestamp
- chassis MAC address
- front-panel/in-band port masks
- inter-module API response counts
