Category: IETF Standards

Description: Provides management objects for IEEE 802.5 Token Ring network extensions per RFC 1229.

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 RFC1229-MIB?

RFC1229-MIB is a vendor-neutral, IETF-standards MIB defined in RFC 1229 that extends interface management for IEEE 802.5 Token Ring network interfaces, building on top of the generic interfaces group. It exposes Token Ring-specific interface parameters and counters such as ring speed, ring station configuration, and error/status statistics unique to the Token Ring MAC layer. For monitoring purposes it focuses on interface/link status rather than general device health, letting an operator confirm a Token Ring interface is active, correctly configured for ring speed, and free of MAC-layer errors such as beaconing or ring-insertion failures. It explicitly depends on and extends the generic IF-MIB interfaces table, since Token Ring interfaces are indexed alongside other interface types in that standard framework. It is typically deployed on legacy routers, bridges, or NICs that still support IEEE 802.5 Token Ring LAN segments, an increasingly rare technology in modern networks. Engineers can download the RFC1229-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RFC1229-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • router/bridge/NIC with IEEE 802.5 Token Ring interfaces

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module. A Token Ring extensions MIB of this kind would typically be polled via its interface-extension table to check ring speed and ring-station role, and to watch Token Ring-specific error counters for signs of beaconing or ring instability, though specific object names cannot be cited here.

What Can Be Monitored

  • Token Ring interface status
  • ring speed configuration
  • Token Ring MAC error counters
  • ring insertion/beaconing conditions
