Monitoring Devices with SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is typically used to monitor network devices for conditions that may require action by systems administrators or other network personnel. RioRey devices support SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 using both standard and enterprise Management Information Bases (MIBs). The details of integrating RioRey devices vary depending on your SNMP manager, but the core concepts are the same across all platforms.
Standard MIBs
Currently we support the following standard MIBs:
- IF-MIB
- IP-MIB
- HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
Standard MIBs are determined by RFC or other standards-based groups, and are not specific to device manufacturer or company. All devices which support a standard MIB will report the same information for the same Object Identifier (OID). Most SNMP Managers will already have the majority of industry standard MIBs loaded, but they can also be found by searching for the relevant RFC or standards group.
Enterprise MIBs
We provide the following enterprise MIBs (downloadable here):
- RIOREY-RIOS-MIB.txt (Unix)
- RIOREY-TC.txt (Unix)
- RIOREY-SMI.txt (Unix)
- RIOREY-RIOS-MIB.mib (Windows)
- RIOREY-TC.mib (Windows)
- RIOREY-SMI.mib (Windows)
Enterprise MIBs are company dependent files that return information specific to the device supported from that company. The files you should load to access RioRey OIDs depend on which platform you are running your SNMP manager on. All three files (per platform) must be loaded for the manager to properly parse our MIBs.
Monitoring
Once you have loaded your MIBs into your SNMP manager, you need to configure each device so that the SNMP Manager is able to query OIDs or set traps. Queries from different IPs or communities than the ones configured for the device will be dropped silently.
A typical use case is to monitor the interfaces of a device to see how much bandwidth is currently being used. If you wanted to monitor an RS30's interfaces, the following OIDs from the standard IF-MIB will come into play:
