Description: Manages World Wide Packets system control operations including device reboot and software reset functions.
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 WWP-SYSTEM-CONTROL-MIB?
This is a vendor-specific proprietary MIB from World Wide Packets (WWP) covering system control operations for its carrier Ethernet switches, including remotely triggered device reboot and software reset functions. It exposes control objects rather than passive counters, letting an operator command the device into a reset or reboot state through SNMP. This makes it directly relevant to hardware/software status monitoring: the state of these control objects (and the device's uptime after a reset) is a key signal of whether a previous reset was successful, whether the device is mid-recovery, or whether an unplanned reboot has occurred. It has no strong documented dependency on other MIBs beyond likely coexistence with standard MIB-II sysUpTime for confirming reset outcomes. It is typically deployed on WWP metro Ethernet switches where remote, out-of-band recovery from software faults is needed without physical site access. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the WWP-SYSTEM-CONTROL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-SYSTEM-CONTROL-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
- World Wide Packets Ethernet access/aggregation switches
Monitoring Examples
No sample_objects were provided for this module, so specific identifiers cannot be cited with confidence beyond what the short description and module_desc indicate: reboot and software reset control objects. A network operations team would write to the reboot/reset control object to recover a switch that has become unresponsive, then poll standard sysUpTime to confirm the device restarted successfully. If sysUpTime does not reset to a low value after the command is issued, that indicates the reboot command failed or the device hung during restart.
What Can Be Monitored
- device reboot control state
- software reset trigger status
- system control command outcome
