Description: Manages configuration file operations (save, load, copy) on Ericsson routers via SNMP.

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 ERICSSON-ROUTER-CONFIG-FILE-MIB?

This is an Ericsson MIB for managing configuration file operations, specifically saving, loading, and copying router configuration files, on Ericsson routers via SNMP. It exposes job-oriented configuration data through a configuration file job table capturing the operation type, transfer protocol, filename, remote server IP address, and credentials for each config file job. Its monitoring value centers on job/task status for configuration backup and restore operations, letting administrators confirm a config save or load job completed successfully, which is directly a software/configuration-management status function rather than hardware telemetry. The MIB explicitly notes a security restriction limiting access to the local SNMP context and strongly recommends SNMPv3, reflecting its sensitive nature; no dependency on another data MIB is indicated otherwise. It is deployed in service-provider networks running Ericsson SmartEdge/SSR routers where configuration backup/restore is automated or scripted via SNMP. Engineers can download the ERICSSON-ROUTER-CONFIG-FILE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ERICSSON-ROUTER-CONFIG-FILE-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

  • Ericsson SmartEdge/SSR routers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll eriRouterCfJobTable / eriRouterCfJobEntry, checking eriRouterCfJobOp and eriRouterCfJobProtocol to confirm a configuration save or load job was submitted with the correct operation and transfer method, and eriRouterCfJobFilename together with eriRouterCfJobIpAddress to verify the target file and remote server. Monitoring eriRouterConfigFileMIBNotifications would alert the admin when a config file job completes or fails, which is critical when automating nightly configuration backups across a fleet of routers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configuration job operation type
  • configuration transfer protocol
  • target filename and remote server address
  • configuration job completion/failure notifications
