Description: Manages configuration file operations including save, load, and rollback on Redback SmartEdge BRAS platforms.

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 RBN-CONFIG-FILE-MIB?

RBN-CONFIG-FILE-MIB is a Redback Networks (later Ericsson SmartEdge) enterprise MIB used to trigger and track configuration-file operations — saving the running configuration, loading a saved configuration, and related file-transfer jobs — on Redback SmartEdge BRAS platforms. It exposes a job-control table (rcfJobTable) through which an operator submits configuration save/load requests specifying the operation, transfer protocol, filename, target IP address, and credentials, alongside notification and conformance groupings. Its monitoring value centers on configuration-management job status: polling job-table entries reveals whether a requested save or load operation is pending, in progress, or has completed/failed, which is critical for confirming a configuration backup or restore actually succeeded. The module explicitly restricts access to the SNMP 'local' context and strongly recommends SNMPv3, reflecting a real dependency on SNMPv3's security model (USM/VACM) for safe operation. It is deployed by operators managing Redback/Ericsson SmartEdge BRAS routers who need to automate or audit configuration backup/restore via SNMP rather than CLI. Engineers can download the RBN-CONFIG-FILE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RBN-CONFIG-FILE-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

  • Redback SmartEdge (Ericsson) BRAS router

Monitoring Examples

An operator creates a new row in rcfJobTable (using rcfJobSpinLock/rcfJobNextIndex to obtain a safe index) and sets rcfJobOp, rcfJobProtocol, rcfJobFilename, rcfJobIpAddress and rcfJobUsername/rcfJobPassword to push the running configuration to a remote server; polling that job entry afterward reveals whether the save completed or failed. A stuck or failed job would alert an admin that a scheduled configuration backup did not complete, prompting investigation of reachability to the file server.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configuration save/load job status
  • job operation type
  • transfer protocol and filename
  • target server IP address
  • job index/queue
