Description: iTouch boot server MIB providing SNMP objects for BOOTP/TFTP network boot server configuration on iTouch devices.

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 ITOUCH-BOOT-SERVER-MIB?

ITOUCH-BOOT-SERVER-MIB is an iTouch Communications vendor-private MIB for devices that provide the iTouch bootstrap (network boot) service, covering basic service limits, active boot dialogs, and file transfer operations. The mandatory xBsBasic group exposes basicLogLimit (event-log size cap), basicActiveLimit (maximum simultaneous boot dialogs), and basicActiveNumber (current active-dialog count), while dedicated tables track service activity in more detail: activeTable and clientTable for in-progress and per-client boot sessions, namedTable and deviceTable for named/known boot clients and devices, xEventTable for boot-service event history, and dumpFileTable/loadFileTable/paramFileTable for the memory-dump, load-image, and parameter files the server can supply, each dialog's outcome recorded via the DialogStatus convention (success, fileTooLarge, remoteFileNotFound, protocolError, and similar failure codes). This is useful for monitoring how busy the boot server is relative to its configured limits and for diagnosing why a specific client's boot/dump/load dialog failed. It depends on the underlying network-boot protocol implementation the iTouch device uses to service requests, and is deployed on iTouch Communications devices acting as boot servers for other iTouch equipment, and the ITOUCH-BOOT-SERVER-MIB MIB documents each of these dialog and file tables.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ITOUCH-BOOT-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

  • iTouch Communications network devices providing bootstrap/boot-server service

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls basicActiveNumber against basicActiveLimit to confirm the boot server has spare capacity, then checks a client's entry in clientTable for a DialogStatus other than success(13); a client repeatedly returning remoteFileNotFound(8) would indicate its configured load or dump file is missing from the server.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active vs. maximum simultaneous boot dialogs
  • per-client boot session state and outcome
  • boot service event history
  • dump/load/parameter file inventory
  • boot dialog failure status codes
