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 OCTOPUSE-MIB?

OCTOPUSE-MIB is a Siemens-specific MIB (Siemens Information & Communication Networks, enterprise OID sni.siemensUnits.pn) for the Octopus E LAN 10/20/30 PABX telephone switching system (also referenced alongside the HiPath AllServe family). It exposes a broad set of management groups: octoControlGroup for system alarm state, software switchover/TFTP download control, and CPU load (octoLoadLevel); octoErrorHistoryGroup with an indexed octoErrorHistoryTable of timestamped error events including severity and slot/port location; octoSystemInfoGroup covering hardware/software version strings, per-slot and per-port status tables (octoSlotTable, octoPortTable), a LAN connection table, and hardware extension inventory; octoStatisticsGroup for per-feature usage counters; and octoCdrConfigGroup for configuring Call Detail Record (CDR) output over TFTP, TCP, or serial ports. Because it combines hardware/port state, CDR buffer health, and CPU load in one module, it's useful for monitoring whether a PABX card or port has gone into a warning/critical state (octoErrorSeverity, cardState, portState), whether CDR data is being delivered before the buffer overflows, and whether a pending software switchover is stalled. It is deployed on Siemens Octopus E-series PABX systems and relies on standard SNMPv2-SMI/TC imports for its DateAndTime and enumerated status types, and engineers troubleshooting call-record delivery on these systems often reference the OCTOPUSE-MIB download to inspect the CDR and error-history object definitions.

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

Siemens Octopus E LAN 10/20/30 PABX (HiPath AllServe family)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls octoErrorHistoryTable for recent octoErrorSeverity values and checks octoCdrThresholdValue against current buffer fill; a run of major/critical severity entries combined with octoTypeOfLastCdrNotificationTrap indicating a CDR buffer overflow would flag an at-risk call-detail-record pipeline needing TFTP/TCP output attention.

What Can Be Monitored

system/error severity state (octoSysState)
error history table entries
slot and port operational status
CPU load level
CDR buffer threshold and output mode
LAN connection status table

Setting this object to switchoverNow (3) causes the device to switchover immediately to the new software which was downloaded to the shadow flash area before and restart the system. initSwitchoverDelayed(4) causes a delayed switchover.
INT octoSysState	1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.2.9.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	The actual error state of the Octopus E PABX. Contains the highest severity level of the recent error events. This object is updated automatically, but it can also be modified manually.

After the download is finished, the device will automatically restart with the new software. If downloadAndDelayedSwitchover (3) is specified, the new image is copied to the device. When the tftpDateTime value is matched, the device discontinues its normal operation and does the software switchover. After an automatic reset, it starts with the new system software. Setting downloadWithoutSwitchover (4) initiates a download without switching over to the new software. When the device is not downloading, this object will have a value of notDownloading(1).
