Description: Alcatel OmniSwitch Data Center Bridging Exchange MIB for negotiating DCB capabilities on Ethernet links.

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 ALCATEL-IND1-DCBX-MIB?

ALCATEL-IND1-DCBX-MIB is an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise proprietary MIB for the OmniSwitch "Birds Of Prey" product line implementing Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) and the associated system Capability Manager, which centrally tracks hardware feature limits and Data Center (DC) traffic-class profiles. It exposes a DC Profile table describing each profile's ID and name, the number of ETS traffic classes supported, Priority Flow Control (PFC) capability, priority-to-traffic-class mapping, and 802.3x pause-readiness, along with a template table for profile definitions. For device status monitoring it lets an administrator confirm which DCB profile is applied to a port group, whether PFC and pause capabilities are correctly negotiated, and whether the number of supported traffic classes matches hardware capability, revealing DCB negotiation mismatches in converged Ethernet/data-center bridging deployments. It layers Alcatel's proprietary Capability Manager over the IEEE 802.1Qaz DCBX standard. It is typically deployed on Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch data center switches carrying converged Ethernet (FCoE/iSCSI) traffic that requires lossless PFC-based flow control, and network engineers can obtain an ALCATEL-IND1-DCBX-MIB download to load the module definitions into their SNMP tooling before polling these profiles.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ALCATEL-IND1-DCBX-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

An operator would walk alaDcbxDCProfileTable/alaDcbxDCProfileEntry to check alaDcbxDCPPFCCap and alaDcbxDCP8023xPauseReady for each alaDcbxDCPId, confirming whether Priority Flow Control and 802.3x pause are enabled as expected, and inspect alaDcbxDCPETSTrafficClassesSupported against alaDcbxDCPPriorityTCMap to verify traffic classes are mapped correctly. A profile showing pause readiness as false when lossless behavior is required would indicate a DCBX negotiation failure with the connected converged-network adapter.

What Can Be Monitored

DCB profile PFC capability
802.3x pause readiness
ETS traffic classes supported
priority-to-traffic-class mapping
DCB profile assignment status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using alaDcbxPIPrioPFCPacketsReceived OID:

Select an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch 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 alaDcbxPIPrioPFCPacketsReceived 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. It reports the total PFC received packet count. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
