What Is REDSTONE-FILE-XFER-MIB?

REDSTONE-FILE-XFER-MIB is a Redstone Communications enterprise MIB that manages file transfer operations — such as software image upgrades, configuration backups, and log retrieval — on Redstone routers via FTP or TFTP. Its rsFileXferTable, indexed by rsFileXferIndex, models each transfer request through objects like rsFileXferDirection (local-to-remote or remote-to-local), rsFileXferFileType (software release, system/running config, system log, script, reboot history, or bulk statistics), rsFileXferProtocol, and rsFileXferRowStatus to control row creation and commencement of the transfer per RowStatus semantics. The read-only rsFileXferStatus object reports outcome states (successful completion, in progress, remote unreachable, auth failed, file not found, file too big, incompatible, or pended), paired with rsFileXferTimeStamp recording sysUpTime at the last status change, and an rsFileXferTrap notification fires whenever a transfer's status changes. It depends on RowStatus and DisplayString conventions from SNMPv2-TC and the REDSTONE-SMI enterprise registration tree, and is deployed on Redstone Communications router platforms performing SNMP-driven file management. Operators automating firmware or config pushes to these routers can download the REDSTONE-FILE-XFER-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in REDSTONE-FILE-XFER-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator creates a row in rsFileXferTable with rsFileXferFileType set to rsFileXferSystemConfig and rsFileXferDirection set to rsFileXferRemoteToLocal, then sets rsFileXferRowStatus to createAndGo to start the transfer, polling rsFileXferStatus for completion; a returned value of rsFileXferRemoteUnreachable or rsFileXferFileNotFound would indicate the configuration pull failed due to network or path issues.

What Can Be Monitored

file transfer direction and file type
transfer protocol (FTP/TFTP) configuration
transfer row status/lifecycle
transfer completion status codes
last status-change timestamp
file transfer trap notifications

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rsFileXferMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23			The File Transfer MIB for Redstone Communications Inc. enterprise.
rsFileXferObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1
rsFileXferTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1		not-accessible	A list of entries which describe file transfers.
rsFileXferTableEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1		not-accessible	A description of a particular file transfer entry.
INT rsFileXferIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique index used to identify this entry.
INT rsFileXferDirection	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the direction of the file transfer.
INT rsFileXferFileType	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file type of the file transfer.
STR rsFileXferRemoteFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The full path name of the source/destination file on the remote system.
STR rsFileXferRemoteUserName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	The user name to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system.
OCT rsFileXferRemoteUserPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.6	OCTET STRING	read-write	The password to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system. When read, this object returns a zero string. Note that, for security reasons, some ftp servers may insist on a non-zero length user password.
STR rsFileXferLocalFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.7	DisplayString	read-write	The local file name to transfer or to create as a result of an incoming transfer.
INT rsFileXferProtocol	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file transfer protocol type.
INT rsFileXferStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-only	The status of the file transfer.
ROW rsFileXferRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.10	RowStatus	read-write	The row status object controls the creation/deletion of rows in this table. Its semantics are the same as those for the RowStatus textual convention specified for SNMPv2. Setting this object to createAndGo(4) is allowed. If required objects are missing, the agent will create the row and set its status to notReady(3). If all of the required objects are present and valid, the agent will create the row, set it to active and commence the file xfer. Upon completion of the file xfer, the agent will set the rowStatus to notInService(2), indicating that the row is valid and useable by a management client. To commence another transfer, a management client should set the rowStatus to active(1). Setting this object to createAndWait(5) causes an entry to be created with rsFileXferRowStatus value of notInService(2) if all of the required objects are present and valid. Or, if some of the required objects are missing or invalid, the agent will create the row and sets its status to notReady(3). Setting this object to active(1) causes the transfer to start for the given row. Objects within the row cannot be modified once a row has been set to active(1), Setting this object to destroy(6) causes the corresponding row to be deleted. Note that only a single instance of a row can be active at at any given moment, although several rows can exist in the table.
TIK rsFileXferTimeStamp	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.1.1.11	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime at the last status change for this entry.
INT rsFileXferTrapEnabled	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	An indication of whether the rsFileXferTrap trap is enabled.
rsFileXferNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.2
rsFileXferNotifyPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.2.0
NTF rsFileXferTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.23.2.0.1			An indication that the status associated with a particular file transfer entry has changed.
