NV6000-MIB

Description: Manages system status, port configuration, and performance data for the NV6000 series network device platform.

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.

NV6000-MIB is a vendor MIB (registered under the IBM enterprise branch) for the NV6000 series network device platform, covering system status, trap notification, and basic host health monitoring. It exposes trap-related counters and throttling controls alongside host-level status objects for ICMP echo reachability, file system mount state, and computer system load. In monitoring terms this MIB is explicitly used to check software/system health: nv6saComputerSystemLoad reports CPU/system load, nv6saFileSystemMounted confirms whether expected file systems are mounted (a disk/storage status check), and nv6saIcmpEchoReq supports reachability testing, while the trap throttle objects (nv6saTrapNum, nv6saTrapThrottleCount, nv6saTrapThrottleId, nv6saTrapThrottleTime) manage how the device rate-limits its own SNMP trap generation. It is registered under IBM's enterprise OID branch, suggesting an IBM-affiliated or IBM-hosted product lineage, though no other MIB dependency is evident. It is deployed on NV6000 platform devices being monitored by an NMS for both fault (trap) and basic system-resource health. Engineers can download the NV6000-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would poll nv6saComputerSystemLoad periodically to detect sustained high CPU/system load on the device, and check nv6saFileSystemMounted to catch a file system that has become unmounted unexpectedly, a common precursor to application failures. The trap throttle group -- nv6saTrapThrottleCount, nv6saTrapThrottleId, and nv6saTrapThrottleTime -- would be reviewed to understand whether trap storms are being suppressed and to correlate suppressed trap counts (nv6saTrapNum) with underlying fault conditions. nv6saIcmpEchoReq indicates whether the device is actively testing reachability to a peer.
