What Is USR-RSHD-MIB?

USR-RSHD-MIB is a CommWorks (formerly U.S. Robotics)/3Com private enterprise MIB that manages the remote shell daemon (rshd) service on CommWorks/3Com network access equipment. It is a configuration-focused module intended to control access control and session logging behavior for the rsh-based remote shell service rather than expose broad hardware telemetry. In terms of device status monitoring, its relevance is narrow but real: it can be used to confirm whether the rshd service is enabled and to review logged remote-shell session activity, which is a software/service status concern (is this remote-access service running and who is using it) rather than a hardware health concern. It has no apparent object list in this build, suggesting it defines only a small handful of scalar configuration objects. It depends on standard rsh/remote-shell protocol semantics and the vendor's commWorks enterprise OID branch. It is deployed on legacy 3Com/CommWorks access servers and remote access concentrators where rsh-based remote administration was historically used. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the USR-RSHD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in USR-RSHD-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

  • CommWorks/3Com remote access servers

Monitoring Examples

No runtime data objects were supplied for this MIB in the available source, so a concrete polling scenario cannot be grounded in real object names here. In general use, such a module would let an administrator confirm whether the rshd service is enabled and review basic session/access-control settings, but without object names it would be speculative to describe specific polled fields.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using usrRshTotalConnections OID:

Select a CommWorks/3Com remote access server (rshd service enable/session-logging 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 usrRshTotalConnections into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of connections made. 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 Counter32-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.
