Description: Establishes shared objects and base structures used across Videoframe Systems broadcast signal monitoring devices.

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 VIDEOFRAME-GENERIC-MIB?

VIDEOFRAME-GENERIC-MIB is a Videoframe Systems MIB defining common, device-generic objects for their broadcast/video signal monitoring equipment, augmenting standard MIB-2 system identification for a manageable Videoframe box while leaving device-specific details to other modules. It exposes a box inventory table covering multiple physical units, each with a part number and identification index, alongside health/status fields and trap enablement. Its monitoring emphasis is clearly on hardware fault/status detection: per-box dual power-supply status (vfBoxPsAStatus/vfBoxPsBStatus) and a failover status flag (vfBoxFailoverStatus) let an operator confirm redundant power health and whether a unit has failed over, which is critical uptime information for broadcast facilities. It explicitly augments standard MIB-2 (sysObjectID) for device identification and is meant to be extended by Videoframe's device-specific MIBs. It is deployed in broadcast/video signal monitoring racks where Videoframe Systems equipment provides redundant, alarm-capable signal monitoring boxes, and VIDEOFRAME-GENERIC-MIB SNMP monitoring in that context typically centers on the redundant power-supply and failover fields described above.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VIDEOFRAME-GENERIC-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

  • Videoframe Systems broadcast signal monitoring equipment

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll vfBoxTable/vfBoxEntry, indexed by vfBoxEntryIndex, checking vfBoxPsAStatus and vfBoxPsBStatus to confirm both power supplies in a given box are healthy, and vfBoxFailoverStatus to detect whether the unit has switched to a backup path. vfBoxId and vfBoxPartNo identify which specific unit and hardware variant is reporting, useful when a facility has multiple Videoframe boxes racked together, while vfMaxBoxes and vfBoxTableNextIndex help the manager understand fleet size. vfBoxTrapEnable indicates whether the unit is configured to proactively notify on these fault conditions via vfBoxEvents traps.

What Can Be Monitored

  • power supply A/B status
  • failover status
  • box part number and identification
  • trap notification enablement
  • number of managed boxes
