Description: Siemens RuggedCom system information MIB covering device identity, security posture, and fault conditions on ruggedized industrial Ethernet switches

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 RUGGEDCOM-SYS-INFO-MIB?

RUGGEDCOM-SYS-INFO-MIB is a Siemens RuggedCom vendor MIB covering core system information, security posture, and fault/error conditions on ruggedized industrial Ethernet switches used in harsh environments such as substations and rail systems. It exposes an extensive set of device error indicator objects covering boot failures, watchdog resets, configuration failures, crash logs, memory/stack faults, and connectivity failures to NTP, RADIUS, and TACACS+ servers. Its monitoring value is heavily weighted toward software/system fault status: detecting boot-up errors, watchdog-triggered resets, heap/stack faults, and authentication/time-sync service unreachability that indicate reliability or security problems on the switch. It is a self-contained system-level MIB but functionally complements RuggedCom's other enterprise MIBs for interfaces and redundancy protocols. It is deployed on RuggedCom industrial Ethernet switches in utility substations, rail, and other harsh-environment critical infrastructure, and engineers typically begin with a RUGGEDCOM-SYS-INFO-MIB download to load the module into their SNMP tools.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RUGGEDCOM-SYS-INFO-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

  • Siemens RuggedCom industrial Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll rcDeviceErrWatchdogReset and rcDeviceErrBootupError to detect unexpected reboots or startup failures on a ruggedized switch, and check rcDeviceErrRadiusServerUnreachable or rcDeviceErrTacacsServerUnreachable to confirm AAA connectivity is intact. A nonzero rcDeviceErrCrashLogCreated or rcDeviceErrStackOverflow value would indicate a firmware crash requiring log retrieval and vendor support, while rcDeviceErrNtpServerUnreachable flags a time-sync failure that could affect event log accuracy.

What Can Be Monitored

  • bootup errors
  • watchdog reset events
  • configuration failures
  • crash log creation
  • stack/heap faults
  • NTP/RADIUS/TACACS+ server reachability

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rcDeviceStsCpuUsage OID:

Select a Siemens RuggedCom industrial Ethernet switch (system fault/error/security status) 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 rcDeviceStsCpuUsage into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The percentage in tenths of percent of available CPU cycles used for device operation as measured over the last second when object was retreived. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if utilization exceeds 85%, a common warning threshold before sustained high load affects performance. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
