What Is ADVANTECH-EKI-PRONEER-MIB?

ADVANTECH-EKI-PRONEER-MIB is Advantech's enterprise MIB for its EKI-series ProNeer industrial Ethernet switches, used in factory automation and industrial networking. It organizes objects under monitoring, system, and layer-2 switching branches, covering general switch status and Layer 2 forwarding data such as the MAC address table. Its monitoring role centers on confirming the switch's operational and software status along with basic Layer 2 health, letting an engineer verify the device is up and correctly learning MAC addresses on its ports, which is important for detecting loops, unexpected topology changes, or a device dropping off the learned-address table. As an industrial switch MIB it likely layers on top of standard bridge MIB concepts for MAC address tracking. It is deployed on Advantech EKI-series industrial Ethernet switches in factory floor, process control, or ruggedized outdoor networking environments, where ADVANTECH-EKI-PRONEER-MIB SNMP monitoring helps catch a dropped device or cable fault early.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ADVANTECH-EKI-PRONEER-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

  • Advantech EKI-series industrial Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An engineer would poll the macAddressTable under the l2switching branch to see which end-device MAC addresses are currently learned on each switch port, confirming expected devices are connected and reachable. Objects under the system branch would be checked for overall switch operational status as part of routine health checks. Sudden churn in the macAddressTable entries for a given port, or the address of a critical PLC disappearing from the table, would indicate a cable fault or device disconnection on the factory floor.

What Can Be Monitored

  • learned MAC addresses per port
  • switch system status
  • Layer 2 switching configuration
  • port-level connectivity

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rmonStatisticsDropEvents OID:

Select an Advantech EKI-series industrial Ethernet switch as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type rmonStatisticsDropEvents into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The drop events of RMON Statistics. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
