SNMP MIBs / questions
Hi,
I work for a hosting company and one of our customers just got a couple BigIP's. Is it possible for me to download the F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB and F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB even though the BigIPs are registered in our customer's name and not ours?
I've snmpwalked them successfully at .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375 and .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 but I'm just getting the numerical OIDs back since I don't have the MIBs installed. I've found a couple links that document the MIBs but they are a little out of date:
http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs/F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB/info.aspx
http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs/F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB/info.aspx
The main thing I'm looking for that I haven't found yet is a way to see in SNMP if any real web servers drop out of a farm. We have some farms set up with multiple real web servers in each farm. These trees looked interesting...
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.14
... but I was expecting to see multiple "the virtual server is available" lines one for each real web server. There's also one "the virtual address is available" listed per farm but that makes sense.
Also, its nothing major, but any insight as to why a virtual server that has been given a custom name gets such a weird OID? i.e. we renamed vs_200, but left vs_201 / vs_202 / vs_203 / vs_204 alone.. but it changed from a "6" to a "21" for the renamed virtual server and it has a much longer suffix after that.
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13.2.1.1.6.118.115.95.50.48.49 = STRING: "vs_201"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13.2.1.1.6.118.115.95.50.48.50 = STRING: "vs_202"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13.2.1.1.6.118.115.95.50.48.51 = STRING: "vs_203"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13.2.1.1.6.118.115.95.50.48.52 = STRING: "vs_204"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.13.2.1.1.21.118.115.95.119.119.119.46.101.114.105.116.101.115.116.105.110.103.46.99.111.109 = STRING: "vs_www.domain.com"
Thanks!
