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.
What Can Be Monitored
- power supply A/B status
- failover status
- box part number and identification
- trap notification enablement
- number of managed boxes
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.
OIDs

|---|---|---|---|---|
| OID sysObjectID | 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 | OBJECT IDENTIFIER | read-only | The standard identification of the managed system this agent represents. These are OIDs from the vfRegistrations branch of the videoframe MIB namespace. |

| vfBoxEvents | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.1.0 | |||
| NTF boxPsAEvent | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.1.0.1 | Box Power Supply A changed status. | ||
| NTF boxPsBEvent | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.1.0.2 | Box Power Supply B changed status. | ||
| NTF boxFailoverEvent | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.1.0.3 | Box failover status changed. | ||

In othercases, the maximum number of boxes that can be represented by this device is limited to the value of this variable. |
| I32 vfBoxTableNextIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.1.2 | Integer32 | read-only | Identifies a hint for the next value of vfBoxEntryIndex to be used in a row creation attempt for the vfBoxTable table. If no new rows can be created, this object will have a value of 0. |

NOTE: It is not mandatory that a managed device support all of the enumerated device states. vfBoxActive(1) - The device is running and processing load. vfBoxInMaintenance(2) - The device is online, but either the device as a whole, or one or more of its components are in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode could be described as a mode where diagnostics are being run on the device, or some tasks such as device configuration are being excuted on the device that has inhibited its normal operation. vfBoxFaulty(3) - The device has experienced a faulty condition in one or more of its components. vfBoxDisabled(4) - The device may not be in a faulty condition, but has been explicitly disabled from its normal mode of operation, such as when selected as the backup of a redundant pair. vfBoxIdling(5) - The device is running in an idle state (no clients are currently active). vfBoxInitializing(6) - This is a post bootstrap state where the device has been restarted, and is initializing its hardware and software components. vfBoxResetting(7) - The device is in a post- reset cycle. Any information collected, or dynamic configuration of the device prior to this state may be lost. |

| I32 vfTrapTargCfgTableNextIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.3 | Integer32 | read-only | Identifies a hint for the next value of vfTrapTargCfgIndex to be used in a row creation attempt for the vfTrapTargCfgTable table. If no new rows can be created, this object will have a value of 0. |
| vfTrapTargCfgTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.4 | not-accessible | A list of trap target configuration entries on this device. Trap Target Configuration Entry Creation: ========================================= When creating a trap target configuration entry the manager should use a GET operation to determine the value of vfTrapTargCfgTableNextIndex.0. If this value is non-zero, the manager can then use this value as the index while creating a table row. The process of creating and activating a row of this table takes two forms: the one-set mode and the multiple-set mode. In the one-set mode, a manager must specify the values of vfTrapTargCfgIpAddress and vfTrapTargCfgCommunity required to activate a row in a single SET operation along with an assignment of the vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus to 'createAndGo(4)'. If the values and instances supplied are correct, an instance of the trap target configuration is created and the value of vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus transitions to 'active(1)'. for example: ============ SnmpGet() returns SnmpSet(, , ) returns , , In the multiple-set mode, creating a trap target configuration table row, filling it with values, and activating it are carried out in discrete steps. To create the row, the manager specifies a value of 'createAndWait(5)' for the vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus status variable. This SET request could contain values of vfTrapTargCfgIpAddress and vfTrapTargCfgCommunity but it is not required. More often, the values for these columnar objects are specified in additional SET requests. After each SET operation, the vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus variable takes on the value 'notReady(3)' or 'notInService(2)'. To place the entry into service, the manager requests that the vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus variable transition to the 'active(1)' state. for example: ============ SnmpGet(, NULL) returns SnmpSet() returns SnmpSet(, ) returns , SnmpSet() returns Trap Target Configuration Entry Deletion: ========================================= To delete an existing trap target configuration entry, the manager performs a SET operation on the vfTrapTargCfgEntryStatus variable with the value 'destroy(6)'. | |
| vfTrapTargCfgEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.4.1 | not-accessible | A trap target configuration entry. | |
| I32 vfTrapTargCfgIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.4.1.1 | Integer32 | not-accessible | The index of a trap target configuration row. Note that the value of this object will not be visible to a manager and any GET/SET operations on this variable will fail. |
| IP vfTrapTargCfgIpAddress | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.4.1.2 | IpAddress | read-create | The IP address of the target/manager to which this device is supposed to send notifications. |
| STR vfTrapTargCfgCommunity | 1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.3.2.4.1.3 | DisplayString | read-create | The community name to be used when this device sends notifications to the target identified by the value of this entries vfTrapTargCfgIpAddress. |
