Description: Intel Corporation ICMB generic chassis MIB providing SNMP objects for multi-vendor chassis management bus monitoring.

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 INTELCORPORATIONICMBGENERICCHASSIS-MIB?

This MIB implements Intel Corporation's Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB) generic chassis specification, an early multi-vendor standard from the mid-1990s server hardware ecosystem for reporting on server chassis components over an out-of-band management bus. It exposes hardware inventory and identity data for chassis components - manufacturer, product name, hardware/firmware version, and serial number - along with ICMB bus/component operational-state indicators. Its central purpose is hardware status monitoring: tracking whether components on the chassis management bus are present, verified, and in a known operational (ICMB) state, functioning as an early precursor to modern hardware health monitoring found in IPMI-based systems. It is closely tied to the ICMB specification itself and to Intel's server-products enterprise MIB branch rather than any single networking standard. It was typically deployed on Intel-based multi-vendor server platforms of the era that implemented the ICMB out-of-band chassis-management bus. Engineers can download the INTELCORPORATIONICMBGENERICCHASSIS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in INTELCORPORATIONICMBGENERICCHASSIS-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

  • Intel-based multi-vendor server chassis implementing ICMB
  • 1990s-era server hardware with out-of-band chassis management bus

Monitoring Examples

A management station could poll a1Manufacturer, a1Product, a1Version, and a1SerialNumber to build a hardware inventory of chassis components, then check a1Installation and a1Verify to confirm a component was properly installed and passed bus verification. The tIcmbState / eIcmbState objects expose the current ICMB state of the chassis bus, letting an admin detect a component that has dropped off the bus or failed verification. a12ChassisAvailable and a12IcmbId further indicate chassis-level availability and identify which ICMB instance is being queried in a multi-chassis deployment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • component manufacturer/model identity
  • hardware/firmware version
  • serial number
  • component installation status
  • component verification status
  • ICMB bus operational state
