Description: Manages software image storage, activation, and boot selection on Riverstone Networks RS 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 RIVERSTONE-IMAGE-MIB?

RIVERSTONE-IMAGE-MIB is a vendor MIB for Riverstone Networks RS routers that provides an SNMP API for managing system software images stored on PCMCIA flash cards, covering operations to add, list, select, and delete boot images. Its data categories are firmware/software image management and boot-selection configuration rather than traffic or environmental sensors. This is directly a software status monitoring MIB: it lets an administrator track the software version images present on the device, the status of an image backup/copy operation, and which image is chosen to boot next, all central to managing device software health and upgrade rollouts. As a management-operation MIB it follows the standard SNMPv2-CONF compliance/group pattern seen across Riverstone's MIB suite. It is typically used in network operations workflows for coordinated firmware upgrades and rollback across a fleet of Riverstone routers. Engineers can download the RIVERSTONE-IMAGE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RIVERSTONE-IMAGE-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

  • Riverstone Networks RS-series routers

Monitoring Examples

The rsImageMibBackupCMOperationStatus object reports the status of a backup/copy-module image operation, letting an admin poll for completion or failure of an in-progress image transfer to the flash card. The rsImageMibConformance, rsImageMibGroups, and rsImageMibCompliance branches define the compliance structure for the image management objects. A failed or stalled backup status would alert an operator that a firmware upgrade attempt did not complete, prompting a retry before the router reboots into a bad or missing image.

What Can Be Monitored

  • software image backup/copy operation status
  • stored flash image inventory
  • active/selected boot image
