Description: Enterasys Networks Secure Shell (SSH) server MIB for managing SSH cryptographic keys and session configuration.

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 ENTERASYS-SECURE-SHELL-SERVER-MIB?

This Enterasys Networks enterprise MIB manages and monitors the embedded SSH server used for secure CLI management access to the device. It exposes administrative and operational status/port objects, plus supported vs. configured cryptographic algorithm lists (MACs, ciphers), and a host-key table. As a hardware/software status MIB it is directly useful for confirming the SSH management service is running correctly: comparing etsysSecureShellServerAdminStatus against etsysSecureShellServerOperStatus reveals whether the service failed to start, and etsysSecureShellServerErrorStatus surfaces the reason. It is a self-contained enterprise MIB, though it reflects underlying industry-standard SSH protocol concepts (ciphers, MACs, host keys) rather than depending on another SNMP MIB. It is deployed on Enterasys/Extreme switches and routers as part of secure out-of-band or in-band device management. Engineers can download the ENTERASYS-SECURE-SHELL-SERVER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ENTERASYS-SECURE-SHELL-SERVER-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

  • Enterasys/Extreme Networks switch or router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would compare etsysSecureShellServerAdminStatus to etsysSecureShellServerOperStatus to detect that SSH was administratively enabled but failed to come operationally up, then check etsysSecureShellServerErrorStatus for the failure reason (e.g., host key generation failure). Reviewing etsysSecureShellServerOperCiphers and etsysSecureShellServerOperMacs against etsysSecureShellServerSupportedCiphers/etsysSecureShellServerSupportedMacs confirms whether weak legacy ciphers have been disabled for compliance, and etsysSecureShellServerHostKeyTable exposes the currently installed host keys.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SSH server admin vs operational status
  • SSH server error status
  • configured vs supported ciphers
  • configured vs supported MAC algorithms
  • SSH server listening port
  • host key configuration
