Description: Manages Zhone Technologies FTP client configuration for firmware and configuration file transfers.

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 ZHONE-COM-IP-FTP-CLIENT-MIB?

This Zhone Technologies enterprise MIB models the device's embedded FTP client, used by network managers to remotely trigger firmware upgrades or configuration-file transfers on Zhone equipment. It defines a table of up to 20 concurrently executable FTP requests, each entry capturing the request's parameters, equivalent to an FTP command line, and its execution status. Its monitoring value is around the software operational status of file-transfer jobs: confirming whether a triggered firmware download or config backup completed successfully, failed, or is still in progress, which is essential before assuming a firmware update took effect. It has no direct standards-MIB dependency, being a self-contained Zhone-proprietary job-management structure layered on plain FTP (RFC 959). It is deployed on Zhone access/CPE devices where administrators push firmware or configuration updates via SNMP-triggered FTP transfers rather than a separate management protocol. Engineers can download the ZHONE-COM-IP-FTP-CLIENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ZHONE-COM-IP-FTP-CLIENT-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

No sample objects were available in this MIB source. In general, an administrator would create or poll an entry in the FTP request table to check whether a triggered firmware-image transfer has completed or failed. A request entry stuck in an in-progress or error state would indicate the firmware upgrade did not complete, leaving the device on its prior software version.

What Can Be Monitored

FTP request/job status
concurrent transfer count
transfer completion/error state

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ftpClient	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18			FTP Client Objects.
I32 ftpClientNextIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.1	Integer32	read-only	The next available index to be used for an FTP request. The manager performs a get on this variable to determine which index to utilize for its request. The agent controls this value and tracks which are in use and how many current requests are outstanding. An okay return is indicated by a value of 1-20 for which the manager can use for creating an ftp row/request. A value of 0 indicates there are no entries available (20 ftp requests are currently in progress. When this occurs, the ftpClientIndexFailures is incremented.
I32 ftpClientHighRequests	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.2	Integer32	read-only	The highest number of requests that the agent has processed at one time. Because it is up to the manager to delete a ftp request, even after completion, this number may be artificially high as it only tracks the number of index values in use.
I32 ftpClientAutoRemovals	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.3	Integer32	read-only	The number of times a manager tried to initiate an ftp request (get of ftpClientNextIndex), and there were not available indexes. In this case, the agent deletes the oldest completed ftp request and increments this object by 1.
I32 ftpClientIndexFailures	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.4	Integer32	read-only	The number of times a get was performed on the ftpClientNextIndex field and all indexes were in use (all had ftp requests in progress)
ftpClientRequestTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5		not-accessible	The table of ftp requests. An FTP request is initiated by a manager by setting the required values and setting the ftpClientRequestRowStatus to 'createAndGo'. An FTP request is stopped and deleted by setting the ftpClientRequestRowStatus to 'destroy'. The manager obtains the index to utilize by getting the next available index (get to ftpClientNextIndex).
ftpClientRequestEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1		not-accessible	Each row of this table represents an ftp request that may either be in progress or completed (see ftpClientRequestResult). The manager both creates and deletes entries utilizing the ftpClientRequestRowStatus field. Entries are not deleted by the agent unless a new request is made (get to ftpClientNextIndex) and all indexes are utilized. In this case, the oldest completed request is auto-deleted and then made available for the manager.
I32 ftpClientRequestIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.1	Integer32	not-accessible	The index of this FTP request in this table. There is a maximum number of 20 outstanding requests in the system.
INT ftpClientRequestCode	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.2	INTEGER	read-create	The operation requested by the manager with the default being a 'put' of a file in binary mode. These are the normal ftp operations allowed in being able to transfer a file in either binary or ASCII modes.
ZHO ftpClientRequestLocalFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.3	ZhoneFileName	read-create	The local file name to be used in the ftp operation. No default value is specified and this field must be specified on a row creation.
ZHO ftpClientRequestRemoteFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.4	ZhoneFileName	read-create	The remote filename used in the ftp operation. This value must be specified when the row is created and there is no default value.
STR ftpClientRequestServerAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.5	ZhoneAdminString	read-create	Either the ip address or name specifying the location of the FTP server. This value must be specified on the row create and there is no default value.
STR ftpClientRequestUserName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.6	ZhoneAdminString	read-create	The user name to be used during the authentication process with the FTP server. This field must be specified on the row create and there is no default value.
STR ftpClientRequestPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.7	ZhoneAdminString	read-create	The password associated with this user named which is used during the authentication process with the FTP server. This value must be present during the row create and there is no default value. When this variable is read (get), a null string is always returned.
INT ftpClientRequestResult	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.8	INTEGER	read-only	The results of the FTP operation. The possible values are: inProgress - currently executing the request success - file has been transferred stoppedByUser - operation was aborted localFileNameError - File could not be read or written on the local system. remoteFileNameError - File could not be read or written on the remote system unreachableDestination - the ip address or server name could not be reached. invalidUserNamePassword - The user name/password combination could not be authenticated by the ftp server. tooManyOpenFiles - File could not be opened due to too many files already opened. readError - Transfer not completed due to a file read error. writeError - Transfer not completed due to a file write error.
INT ftpClientRequestAction	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.9	INTEGER	read-create	The action requested by the user. The normal operation is for a 'start' to be specified and this is the default value. Specifying 'stop' aborts the current operation in the current state. Specifying 'stop' with 'createAndGo' rowStatus results in the creation of the row. But the ftp transfer does not start until the row is specified to 'start'. Specifying multiple successive mstops or starts has no impact on the current operation. When read, the value returned is the last action requested.
TIM ftpClientRequestCompletionTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.10	TimeStamp	read-only	The time when the operation completed. This includes if the operation was aborted. While the operation is in progress, a value of 0 is returned.
ZHO ftpClientRequestRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.18.5.1.11	ZhoneRowStatus	read-create	The rowstatus is used by the manager to create or destroy a ftp request. Required fields on a create_and_go are: - local and remote filenames - server address or name - user name - password A get on this field always return 'active'.
comIpFtpClient	1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.6.68			This MIB defines the fields use by a manager to create a ftp request. The mib equates those fields in the command line request to an equivalent table entry. The system allows for up to 20 FTP requests to be concurrently executing.
