Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is Juniper-FILE-XFER-MIB?

Juniper-FILE-XFER-MIB is a Juniper enterprise MIB that manages file transfer operations, such as FTP and TFTP transfers of configuration files or software images, to and from Juniper E-series routers. It exposes a table of transfer jobs with direction (upload/download), protocol, remote/local filenames, credentials, and status, allowing SNMP-driven initiation and tracking of file operations. Its main monitoring value is software-status related: tracking the progress and outcome (success, failure, in-progress) of firmware/software image transfers and configuration backups via juniFileXferStatus, which is critical for confirming a software upgrade or config push completed correctly. It works alongside standard SNMP row-creation conventions (RowStatus) for job lifecycle management. It is typically used in automated provisioning or upgrade workflows for Juniper E-series broadband edge routers. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Juniper-FILE-XFER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Juniper-FILE-XFER-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.

Monitoring Examples

A management system creates a row in juniFileXferTable/juniFileXferTableEntry setting juniFileXferDirection, juniFileXferProtocol, juniFileXferRemoteFileName, and juniFileXferLocalFileName, then sets juniFileXferRowStatus to active to kick off the transfer. It then polls juniFileXferStatus to confirm whether the file transfer (e.g., a new software image or config file) succeeded, failed, or is still in progress. A transfer stuck in an in-progress state or repeatedly failing would indicate connectivity issues to the remote FTP/TFTP server or bad credentials in juniFileXferRemoteUserName/juniFileXferRemoteUserPassword.

What Can Be Monitored

file transfer job status
transfer direction (upload/download)
transfer protocol in use
remote/local file names
transfer completion/failure state

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
juniFileXferMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23			The File Transfer MIB for Juniper Networks enterprise.
juniFileXferObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1
juniFileXferTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1		not-accessible	A list of entries which describe file transfers.
juniFileXferTableEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1		not-accessible	A description of a particular file transfer entry.
INT juniFileXferIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique index used to identify this entry.
INT juniFileXferDirection	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the direction of the file transfer.
INT juniFileXferFileType	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file type of the file transfer.
STR juniFileXferRemoteFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The full path name of the source/destination file on the remote system.
STR juniFileXferRemoteUserName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	The user name to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system. This object has been obsoleted. Use the enterprise host mib in order to configure the username.
OCT juniFileXferRemoteUserPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.6	OCTET STRING	read-write	The password to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system. When read, this object returns a zero string. Note that, for security reasons, some FTP servers may insist on a non-zero length user password. This object has been obsoleted. Use the enterprise host MIB in order to configure the password.
STR juniFileXferLocalFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.7	DisplayString	read-write	The local file name to transfer or to create as a result of an incoming transfer.
INT juniFileXferProtocol	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file transfer protocol type.
INT juniFileXferStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-only	The status of the file transfer.
ROW juniFileXferRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.10	RowStatus	read-write	The row status object controls the creation/deletion of rows in this table. Its semantics are the same as those for the RowStatus textual convention specified for SNMPv2. Setting this object to createAndGo(4) is allowed. If required objects are missing, the agent will create the row and set its status to notReady(3). If all of the required objects are present and valid, the agent will create the row, set it to active and commence the file transfer. Upon completion of the file transfer, the agent will set the rowStatus to notInService(2), indicating that the row is valid and useable by a management client. To commence another transfer, a management client should set the rowStatus to active(1). Setting this object to createAndWait(5) causes an entry to be created with juniFileXferRowStatus value of notInService(2) if all of the required objects are present and valid. Or, if some of the required objects are missing or invalid, the agent will create the row and sets its status to notReady(3). Setting this object to active(1) causes the transfer to start for the given row. Objects within the row cannot be modified once a row has been set to active(1), Setting this object to destroy(6) causes the corresponding row to be deleted. Note that only a single instance of a row can be active at at any given moment, although several rows can exist in the table.
TIK juniFileXferTimeStamp	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.11	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime at the last status change for this entry.
JUN juniFileXferRouterName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.12	JuniName	read-write	The name of the router to be used when resolving the hostname portion of the juniFileXferRemoteFileName object. If this object contains an invalid or empty value, the default router will be used.
INT juniFileXferTrapEnabled	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	An indication of whether the juniFileXferTrap trap is enabled.
juniFileXferNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.2
juniFileXferNotifyPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.2.0
NTF juniFileXferTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.2.0.1			An indication that the status associated with a particular file transfer entry has changed.
juniFileXferConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.4
juniFileXferCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.4.1
juniFileXferCompliance1	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.4.1.2			Obsolete compliance statement for entities that implement the Juniper file transfer MIB. This compliance statement became obsolete when remote user information was removed and router name was added.
juniFileXferCompliance2	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.4.1.3			The compliance statement for entities that implement the Juniper file transfer MIB.
