Description: Manages WatchGuard Firebox high-availability cluster configuration and failover state.

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 RAPID-HA-MIB?

RAPID-HA-MIB originates from RapidStream Inc., a security appliance vendor later acquired by WatchGuard, and manages high-availability (HA) clustering configuration and failover state for RapidStream/Firebox-class security gateways. Per its module description, it is one of several related RapidStream MIBs (alongside system info, client, statistics, and IPsec tunnel MIBs) that together cover the device's overall management surface, with this module focused specifically on HA cluster behavior. Although no sample objects were captured, HA MIBs of this type typically expose cluster member role (active/standby), failover event status, and synchronization state, making them directly useful for monitoring the software-level health and failover readiness of a redundant security appliance pair. It has a clear dependency relationship with the sibling rsInfoSystemMIB, rsClientMIB, rsSystemStatisticsMIB, and rsIpsecTunnelMIB modules referenced in its description, which together form the full RapidStream management MIB suite. It is deployed in dual-appliance HA firewall/VPN gateway pairs where failover state must be monitored to ensure continuous availability, typically by loading the RAPID-HA-MIB into a MIB Browser alongside the sibling RapidStream modules.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RAPID-HA-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

WatchGuard Firebox / RapidStream security appliance
HA firewall/VPN gateway cluster member

Monitoring Examples

Specific object names were not available in this extract, but based on the module's stated purpose an administrator would poll HA-related objects to determine which cluster member is currently active and whether a failover event has recently occurred, flagging split-brain or failed synchronization conditions between the primary and standby appliance.

What Can Be Monitored

HA cluster member role (active/standby)
failover event status
cluster synchronization state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rsHAPeerSystemTotalSendBytes OID:

Select a WatchGuard Firebox / RapidStream security appliance, HA firewall/VPN gateway cluster member 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 rsHAPeerSystemTotalSendBytes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of bytes sent since peer system is up. 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 a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
