Description: Inventories hardware modules, line cards, and chassis components installed in Riverstone 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-INVENTORY-MIB?
RIVERSTONE-INVENTORY-MIB is a Riverstone Networks enterprise MIB that provides a hardware inventory schema for their RS-series router/switch chassis. It defines tables for chassis, power supply, fan, and module (line card) inventory, each carrying identity and asset information such as CLEI (Common Language Equipment Identifier) codes. This is a hardware-status MIB in the most direct sense: the power supply and fan tables let an administrator confirm which power supplies and fans are physically present, supporting detection of missing or failed field-replaceable units, while the chassis and module tables track which line cards/modules are installed for both inventory tracking and fault diagnosis. It is a self-contained Riverstone enterprise MIB, though inventory data of this kind is often cross-referenced with the standard ENTITY-MIB physical entity table on platforms that support both. It would be deployed on Riverstone Networks RS-series modular routers/switches in enterprise or service-provider network cores to track installed hardware and detect missing or failed components. Engineers can download the RIVERSTONE-INVENTORY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RIVERSTONE-INVENTORY-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 modular routers/switches
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll rsInventoryPowerSupplyTable/rsInventoryPowerSupplyEntry and rsInventoryFanTable/rsInventoryFanEntry (each keyed with an rsInventoryChassisId and asset CLEI code) to enumerate installed power supplies and fans, and rsInventoryModuleTable to see which line cards occupy each slot; a power supply or fan entry disappearing from the table between polls, or an unexpected CLEI mismatch, would indicate a failed or removed field-replaceable unit.
What Can Be Monitored
- installed power supply inventory
- installed fan inventory
- installed module/line-card inventory
- chassis asset identification (CLEI codes)
