Description: Provides common Cabletron SFPS objects shared across multiple SecureFast Packet Switch MIB modules.

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-COMMON-MIB?

CTRON-SFPS-COMMON-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB defining objects shared across multiple SecureFast Packet Switch (SFPS) MIB modules, including generic version/revision tracking and diagnostic logging configuration common to the SFPS product family. It exposes version identification data (per-component version hash, name, and MIB revision) and diagnostic log configuration/status objects used across SFPS switches. For monitoring purposes this module supports confirming installed software/firmware component versions across an SFPS switch and checking whether diagnostic logging is enabled and correctly configured for troubleshooting, directly touching on software version status rather than physical hardware metrics like temperature or power. It serves as a shared/common dependency imported by other SFPS-specific MIBs (such as CTRON-SFPS-POLICY-MIB and CTRON-SFPS-TOPOLOGY-MIB) rather than standing alone. It is deployed on Cabletron SecureFast Packet Switches, an ATM/frame-based switching product line from the mid-to-late 1990s, and network engineers documenting these legacy switches can still find a CTRON-SFPS-COMMON-MIB download to load directly into a MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-SFPS-COMMON-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 SecureFast Packet Switch (SFPS)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll sfpsGenericVersionTable/sfpsGenericVersionEntry to check sfpsGenericVersionName, sfpsGenericVersionVersion, and sfpsGenericVersionMIBRev for a given sfpsGenericVersionHash, confirming which firmware/software component versions are running on an SFPS switch during an upgrade audit. Separately, sfpsDiagLogConfigTable/sfpsDiagLogConfigEntry would be checked via sfpsDiagLogConfigStatus for a given sfpsDiagLogConfigInstance/sfpsDiagLogConfigIndex to confirm diagnostic logging is active before troubleshooting an intermittent fault. A mismatched sfpsGenericVersionVersion across switches in a fabric would flag an inconsistent software rollout.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-component software/firmware version
  • MIB revision per component
  • diagnostic log configuration status
  • diagnostic log instance state
