Description: Monitors MRV In-Reach BPD system identity, firmware version, and health status.

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 MRV-IR-SYSTEM-MIB?

MRV-IR-SYSTEM-MIB is MRV Communications' system MIB for its In-Reach (LX) family of secure console/terminal servers, covering core system identity, firmware/software image management, and IP network configuration. It exposes data on the running and boot software versions (irSysSwVersion, irSysSwBootVersion), the firmware image filename and its source/server location for upgrades, and basic IP configuration such as address, subnet mask, broadcast address, and gateway. Its monitoring focus is squarely on software status and system configuration: administrators track the current firmware/software version and boot version to confirm devices are running the expected release, watch the image source/server/filename during firmware upgrades, and use irSysAction and irSysSnmpSetErrorString to trigger and diagnose configuration-change operations. An MRV-IR-SYSTEM-MIB download provides these system, firmware, and IP-configuration objects but no separate hardware-sensor data, consistent with its focus on software and configuration state. It has no strong dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMPv2-SMI conventions, being a self-contained proprietary system MIB. It is deployed on MRV In-Reach LX console/terminal server appliances used for out-of-band management access to network and data center equipment.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MRV-IR-SYSTEM-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

  • MRV In-Reach LX console/terminal server
  • MRV BPD (In-Reach) out-of-band management appliances

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll irSysSwVersion and irSysSwBootVersion across a fleet of In-Reach units to confirm they've all been upgraded to the intended firmware release, and check irSysImageFilename, irSysImageSource, and irSysImageServer during a remote firmware update to verify the correct image is being pulled from the right location. Checking irSysIpAddress, irSysSubnetMask, and irSysGateway confirms basic network reachability configuration, while a non-empty irSysSnmpSetErrorString after issuing an irSysAction command reveals that a configuration change (e.g., a reboot or firmware load trigger) failed.

What Can Be Monitored

  • running software/firmware version
  • boot software version
  • firmware image filename and source
  • IP address/subnet/gateway configuration
  • system action command status/errors

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using irSysCurrentTemp OID:

Select an MRV In-Reach LX console/terminal server as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type irSysCurrentTemp into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the onboard temperature sensor reading, in degrees Celsius. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the temperature exceeds 65°C, a common warning level for enclosed rack equipment. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
