Description: Configures SNMP agent parameters, communities, and trap destinations on Redstone Communications routers.

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-SNMP-MIB?

REDSTONE-SNMP-MIB configures the SNMP agent itself on Redstone Communications routers, covering community strings, access control lists, PDU size limits, and trap host destinations. Unlike operational telemetry MIBs, this is a management-plane configuration MIB governing how the device's own SNMP agent behaves and where it sends traps. Its monitoring value is verifying management-access security and reachability, confirming community privilege levels and associated access lists are correctly restricted, and that trap destinations are correctly configured so fault notifications reach the intended NMS. It is a Redstone-proprietary MIB with no direct dependency on the standard SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB or SNMP-TARGET-MIB, defining its own equivalent object set. It is typically used by network operators auditing or configuring SNMP management access on Redstone router deployments, and administrators can download the REDSTONE-SNMP-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Redstone Communications router

Monitoring Examples

An operator can review rsSnmpCommunityTable/rsSnmpCommunityEntry rows to confirm each rsSnmpCommunityName has the correct rsSnmpCommunityPrivilege level and is restricted by the intended rsSnmpCommunityAccessList, catching overly permissive community strings. Checking rsSnmpTrapHostTable/rsSnmpTrapHostEntry entries confirms traps are sent to the correct rsSnmpTrapHostIpAddress, and rsSnmpTrapGlobalFilter/rsSnmpTrapSource reveal whether trap generation is unexpectedly filtered or misattributed. rsSnmpMaxPduSize would be checked if large SNMP responses, such as bulk table walks, are failing or being truncated.

What Can Be Monitored

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rsSnmpTrapHostSends OID:

Select a Redstone Communications router (SNMP agent community/ACL/trap-host configuration) 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 rsSnmpTrapHostSends into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of traps submitted for transmission to this destination. 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 Counter32-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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rsSnmpMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16			MIB objects for configuring SNMP-based management access into Redstone Communications Inc. products.
rsSnmpObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1
rsSnmpGeneral	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.1
I32 rsSnmpMaxPduSize	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.1.1	Integer32	read-write	The maximum sized SNMP PDU, in bytes, that this agent is capable of handling. The default is 1500 bytes. The posssibility of IP fragmentation should be considered when setting this object to large values.
rsSnmpCommunity	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2
rsSnmpCommunityTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1		not-accessible	Table of SNMP management clients. Authentic SNMP clients are identified by a combination community name and IP address. Upon receipt of an SNMP request, this table is scanned for a matching community name. If an entry containing a matching community name is found, the entry's IP access list, if nonzero, is used to validate the source IP address received in the request; else, if the IP access list number in the matching entry is zero, the source IP address is accepted. Finally, the type of SNMP request is validated with respect to the access privilege of the matching entry (e.g. a SET Request is rejected for an entry having read-only privilege). Use of this table constitutes 'trivial authentication', i.e. no mechanism is employed to confirm the received SNMP request was indeed originated by the host identified by the IP source address.
rsSnmpCommunityEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	A table entry describing an authentic SNMP Community.
RSS rsSnmpCommunityName	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1.1.1	RsSnmpCommunityName	read-only	An SNMP community name.
ROW rsSnmpCommunityRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1.1.2	RowStatus	read-create	Controls creation/deletion of entries in this table. Only 'createAndGo' and 'destroy' enumeration values are supported.
INT rsSnmpCommunityPrivilege	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-create	The access privileges for a SNMP Community authenticated by this entry. readOnly Read-only access to nonadministrative portions of MIB. readWrite Read-write access to nonadministrative portions of MIB. admin Read-write access to entire MIB. 'Administrative' portions of the MIB are those portions that pertain to management access into the managed device.
I32 rsSnmpCommunityAccessList	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.2.1.1.4	Integer32	read-create	If nonzero, the number of an IP access list that describes the IP hosts permitted SNMP management access to this device via the corresponding community name contained in this entry.
rsSnmpTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3
RSS rsSnmpTrapGlobalFilter	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.1	RsSnmpTrapMask	read-write	This object provides global control over trap generation by this agent. For each bit position, a '1' or '0' indicates the corresponding trap category is enabled or disabled, respectively.
I32 rsSnmpTrapSource	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.2	Integer32	read-write	The ifIndex of the interface whose IP address is used as the source IP address for outbound SNMP traps. If zero, no interface is specified, the mechanism for selecting a source IP address is implementation-dependent, and may vary with each trap sent.
rsSnmpTrapHostTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3		not-accessible	Table of SNMP Trap recipient.
rsSnmpTrapHostEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1		not-accessible	A table entry describing an SNMP Trap recipient.
IP rsSnmpTrapHostIpAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.1	IpAddress	read-only	IP address of an authorized SNMP Trap recipient. This must be a host IP address.
ROW rsSnmpTrapHostRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.2	RowStatus	read-create	Controls creation/deletion of entries in this table. Only 'createAndGo' and 'destroy' enumeration values are supported.
I32 rsSnmpTrapHostUdpPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.3	Integer32	read-create	The destination UDP port to which traps will be sent.
RSS rsSnmpTrapHostCommunity	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.4	RsSnmpCommunityName	read-create	An SNMP community name to be used in traps sent to this destination.
INT rsSnmpTrapHostProtocolVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.5	INTEGER	read-create	The format of the SNMP trap PDU to be sent to this trap destination. v1 Trap-PDU defined in RFC1157, encapsulated in Message structure also defined in RFC1157. v2c SNMPv2-Trap-PDU defined in RFC1905, encapsulated in Message structure defined in RFC1901.
RSS rsSnmpTrapHostFilter	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.6	RsSnmpTrapMask	read-create	Bit mask designating the specific trap types enabled for transmission to this trap destination. For each bit position, a '1' or '0' indicates the corresponding trap type is enabled or disabled, respectively. Note, trap generation is further constrained by the value rsSnmpTrapGlobalFilter.
C32 rsSnmpTrapHostSendsEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.2773.2.16.1.3.3.1.7	Counter32	read-only	The number of traps submitted for transmission to this destination.
