Description: Monitors Cabletron-attached UPS devices including battery status, input power, and power failure notifications.
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-UPS-MIB?
CTRON-UPS-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB for monitoring Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units attached to or associated with Cabletron network equipment. Consistent with its short description, it covers battery status, input power line conditions, and power failure/restoration event notifications, giving operators visibility into the power protection layer backing critical network gear. Its monitoring purpose is squarely hardware health: battery charge/condition, presence of utility input power, and time-on-battery or failure conditions are exactly the kind of environmental/power status this MIB is meant to expose, alongside trap notifications when a power failure or battery-low event occurs. It parallels concepts found in the standard IETF UPS-MIB (RFC 1628) though implemented as a Cabletron-specific enterprise variant. It is deployed in network closets/data centers where a UPS protects Cabletron switches, hubs, or routers from power interruptions, making CTRON-UPS-MIB SNMP monitoring a key part of the power-protection layer.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-UPS-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-attached UPS unit
Monitoring Examples
No specific object names were available in the source excerpt, so a precise polling example cannot be honestly constructed; based on the module's description, an operator would typically poll battery status and input power state objects to detect when the UPS has switched to battery power, and would configure trap reception for power-failure notifications so that loss of utility power to protected Cabletron equipment triggers an immediate alert.
What Can Be Monitored
- battery status
- input power state
- power failure notifications
