Description: Extends standard interface management with Redstone-specific counters and configuration objects.

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 REDSTONE-IF-MIB?

REDSTONE-IF-MIB is Redstone Communications' enterprise extension to the standard interfaces MIB, adding vendor-specific interface attributes and stacking information on Redstone networking equipment. It exposes an interface table with Redstone-specific type/attribute objects and an interface-stack inventory table describing how logical and physical interfaces layer on top of one another. Its main monitoring role is around interface configuration and operational status/topology - confirming interface types and how they are stacked - rather than deep hardware sensor data like temperature or power. It explicitly builds on and depends on the standard IETF IF-MIB (ifTable/ifStackTable conventions), extending rather than replacing it. It is typically deployed on Redstone Communications network access/aggregation equipment where operators need vendor-specific interface detail beyond what the standard IF-MIB provides. Engineers can download the REDSTONE-IF-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in REDSTONE-IF-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 would cross-reference rsIfTable/rsIfEntry (via rsIfType) with the standard ifTable to get Redstone-specific interface typing, then walk rsIfInvStackTable/rsIfInvStackEntry to see rsIfInvStackStatus and confirm how logical interfaces are layered over physical ones. An unexpected rsIfInvStackStatus value on a stack entry would reveal a broken or misconfigured interface stacking relationship, such as a logical interface no longer properly bound to its physical parent. This complements standard interface polling with vendor-specific stacking detail Redstone's platform requires.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rsIfMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3			The Generic Interfaces MIB for the Redstone Communications Inc. enterprise.
rsInterfaces	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1
rsIf	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1
rsIfObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1
rsIfTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	This table contains a corresponding entry for each entry found in the standard Generic Interfaces MIB ifTable/ifXTable. The entries in this table contain supplementary generic interface characteristics. Entries in ifTable/ifXTable and in this table are created/deleted as a consequence of hardware detection, or of management configuration via standard or enterprise type-specific interface MIBs.
rsIfEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	An entry representing an interface's enterprise-defined generic interface characteristics.
RSI rsIfType	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.1.1.1	RsIfType	read-only	Identifies the type of this interface.
rsIfInvStackTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.2		not-accessible	A table containing information on the relationships between the multiple sub-layers of network interfaces. In particular, it contains information on which sub-layers run 'underneath' which other sub-layers, where each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. For example, when the sub-layer with ifIndex value x runs underneath the sub-layer with ifIndex value y, then this table contains: rsIfInvStackStatus.x.y=active For each ifIndex value, I, which identifies an active interface, there are always at least two instantiated rows in this table associated with I. For one of these rows, I is the value of ifStackHigherLayer; for the other, I is the value of ifStackLowerLayer. (If I is not involved in multiplexing, then these are the only two rows associated with I.) For example, two rows exist even for an interface which has no others stacked on top or below it: ifStackStatus.x.0=active ifStackStatus.0.x=active This table contains exactly the same number of rows as the ifStackTable, but the rows appear in a different order.
rsIfInvStackEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.2.1		not-accessible	Information on a particular relationship between two sub- layers, specifying that one sub-layer runs underneath the other sub-layer. Each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable.
ROW rsIfInvStackStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.1.2.1.1	RowStatus	read-only	The status of the relationship between two sub-layers. An instance of this object exists for each instance of the ifStackStatus object, and vice versa. For example, if the variable ifStackStatus.H.L exists, then the variable rsIfInvStackStatus.L.H must also exist, and vice versa. In addition, the two variables always have the same value. However, unlike ifStackStatus, the rsIfInvStackStatus object is NOT write-able. A network management application wishing to change a relationship between sub-layers H and L cannot do so by modifying the value of rsIfInvStackStatus.L.H, but must instead modify the value of ifStackStatus.H.L. After the ifStackTable is modified, the change will be reflected in this table.
rsIfConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4
rsIfCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4.1
rsIfCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4.1.1			The compliance statement for entities which implement the Redstone Generic Interfaces MIB.
rsIfGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4.2
rsIfGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4.2.1			A collection of objects providing management capability capability of generic interfaces in a Redstone product.
rsIfInvStackGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.3.1.1.4.2.2			A collection of objects providing inverted information on the layering of MIB-II interfaces.
