Description: Manages TippingPoint Security Management System configuration, device inventory, and policy distribution.
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 TPT-SMSMIBS?
TPT-SMSMIBS is the top-level Trend Micro/TippingPoint MIB module defining the object sub-tree for the Security Management System (SMS), the centralized console used to configure and monitor fleets of TippingPoint IPS appliances. It exposes configuration and inventory-category data: SMS-level configuration, the inventory of devices the SMS manages, and objects related to distributing security policy to those devices. Its monitoring relevance is about the health and consistency of the centralized management layer itself — confirming the SMS has an accurate, up-to-date device inventory and that policy pushes to managed IPS appliances have succeeded, which is a software/operational-status concern rather than a hardware-sensor one. It serves as the parent/reference tree for other TippingPoint MIBs, including the companion TPT-SMS-TRAP-MIB notifications module. It is deployed specifically where an organization runs the TippingPoint SMS to centrally manage multiple IPS devices rather than administering each appliance individually. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TPT-SMSMIBS file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TPT-SMSMIBS. 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
- TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) server
Monitoring Examples
No specific object or table names were provided in the source excerpt for this module, so concrete identifiers cannot be cited, though its description indicates it covers the SMS's objects and events. An administrator managing a fleet of TippingPoint IPS appliances would use objects under this tree to confirm the SMS's device inventory matches the actual deployed appliances, and to verify a security policy update was successfully distributed to all managed devices rather than only some of them.
What Can Be Monitored
- managed device inventory
- policy distribution status
- SMS configuration state
