Description: Manages Unisphere ERX file transfer operations for software upgrades and configuration management.

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 Unisphere-Data-FILE-XFER-MIB?

Unisphere-Data-FILE-XFER-MIB is a vendor MIB for Unisphere/Juniper ERX edge routers that manages remote file transfer operations, most commonly used for software image upgrades and configuration backup/restore. It exposes a file-transfer table with direction (upload/download), file type, remote filename/credentials, local filename, transfer protocol, and a row-status/status column to track each transfer job, plus notification objects for transfer completion events. Its monitoring focus is squarely software/operations oriented: administrators track the status of in-progress or completed configuration and firmware transfers to confirm a software upgrade or config backup succeeded or failed. It is a self-contained enterprise MIB with no strong dependency on other standard MIBs beyond general SNMP table conventions (RowStatus). It is deployed on Juniper/Unisphere ERX routers whenever operators automate firmware upgrades or configuration backups via SNMP-driven file transfer rather than manual CLI/FTP sessions. Engineers can download the Unisphere-Data-FILE-XFER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Unisphere-Data-FILE-XFER-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would create a row in usdFileXferTable/usdFileXferTableEntry, setting usdFileXferDirection, usdFileXferFileType, usdFileXferRemoteFileName, usdFileXferProtocol, and usdFileXferRowStatus to active to initiate a transfer, then poll usdFileXferStatus until it reports success or failure. usdFileXferNotifications would fire on completion, alerting the operator without requiring continuous polling. A usdFileXferStatus stuck in an in-progress state or reporting an error code would indicate a failed firmware upgrade or configuration restore.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
usdFileXferMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23			The File Transfer MIB for Unisphere Networks Inc. enterprise.
usdFileXferObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1
usdFileXferTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1		not-accessible	A list of entries which describe file transfers.
usdFileXferTableEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1		not-accessible	A description of a particular file transfer entry.
INT usdFileXferIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique index used to identify this entry.
INT usdFileXferDirection	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the direction of the file transfer.
INT usdFileXferFileType	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file type of the file transfer.
STR usdFileXferRemoteFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The full path name of the source/destination file on the remote system.
STR usdFileXferRemoteUserName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	The user name to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system. This object has been obsoleted. Use the enterprise host mib in order to configure the username.
OCT usdFileXferRemoteUserPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.6	OCTET STRING	read-write	The password to use when requesting the file transfer to/from the remote system. When read, this object returns a zero string. Note that, for security reasons, some ftp servers may insist on a non-zero length user password. This object has been obsoleted. Use the enterprise host mib in order to configure the password.
STR usdFileXferLocalFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.7	DisplayString	read-write	The local file name to transfer or to create as a result of an incoming transfer.
INT usdFileXferProtocol	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	Specifies the file transfer protocol type.
INT usdFileXferStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-only	The status of the file transfer.
ROW usdFileXferRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.10	RowStatus	read-write	The row status object controls the creation/deletion of rows in this table. Its semantics are the same as those for the RowStatus textual convention specified for SNMPv2. Setting this object to createAndGo(4) is allowed. If required objects are missing, the agent will create the row and set its status to notReady(3). If all of the required objects are present and valid, the agent will create the row, set it to active and commence the file xfer. Upon completion of the file xfer, the agent will set the rowStatus to notInService(2), indicating that the row is valid and useable by a management client. To commence another transfer, a management client should set the rowStatus to active(1). Setting this object to createAndWait(5) causes an entry to be created with usdFileXferRowStatus value of notInService(2) if all of the required objects are present and valid. Or, if some of the required objects are missing or invalid, the agent will create the row and sets its status to notReady(3). Setting this object to active(1) causes the transfer to start for the given row. Objects within the row cannot be modified once a row has been set to active(1), Setting this object to destroy(6) causes the corresponding row to be deleted. Note that only a single instance of a row can be active at at any given moment, although several rows can exist in the table.
TIK usdFileXferTimeStamp	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.11	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime at the last status change for this entry.
USD usdFileXferRouterName	1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.23.1.1.1.12	UsdName	read-write	The name of the router to be used when resolving the hostname portion of the usdFileXferRemoteFileName object. If this object contains an invalid or empty value, the default router will be used.
