Description: Manages Stormshield firewall network interface configuration, link status, and traffic statistics.

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 STORMSHIELD-IF-MIB?

STORMSHIELD-IF-MIB is a vendor module from Stormshield (a network security/firewall vendor, formerly Netasq) covering the network interfaces on its firewall/UTM appliances. It exposes interface-oriented data: per-interface configuration, link/operational status, and traffic statistics. Its monitoring emphasis is on hardware and software interface status - link up/down state and throughput/error counters reveal whether a firewall's physical or virtual interfaces (WAN, LAN, DMZ) are healthy and passing expected traffic volumes. It functions as a Stormshield-specific companion/extension to the standard IETF IF-MIB rather than a replacement for it. It is deployed on Stormshield SNS security appliances protecting enterprise or branch-office network perimeters, and administrators can download the STORMSHIELD-IF-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in STORMSHIELD-IF-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

  • Stormshield firewall/UTM appliance

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object or table names were supplied for this module, so specific identifiers can't be quoted, but the description points to per-interface link-status and traffic-counter data analogous to an IF-MIB style ifTable/ifXTable extension. An administrator would poll such an interface table to confirm a firewall's WAN interface remains up and watch traffic byte/packet counters for unusual spikes indicating an attack or misrouted traffic. A link-down status on a critical interface would be the primary anomaly this MIB is meant to surface.

What Can Be Monitored

  • interface link status
  • interface traffic statistics (bytes/packets)
  • interface configuration state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using snsifPktAccepted OID:

Select a Stormshield SNS firewall/UTM appliance (interface link/traffic 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 snsifPktAccepted 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. It reports number of accepted packets. 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 Counter64-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.
