Description: Manages Asante Technologies Ethernet switches for port control and traffic monitoring.

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 ASANTE-SWITCH-MIB?

ASANTE-SWITCH-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Asante Technologies for managing their Ethernet switch product line, covering port control and traffic monitoring, along with basic device/agent identification. It exposes an organizational structure (asante, products) alongside SNMP agent identity objects (snmpAgent, agentSw, agentFw, agentHw) that expose the switch's software, firmware, and hardware version/identification. Its monitoring relevance includes software version status via agentSw/agentFw (confirming which firmware/software build is running, important for tracking whether a device needs a security or bug-fix update) and, per its stated scope, per-port traffic statistics and control for the switch's Ethernet ports. It is a self-contained vendor MIB predating widespread adoption of the standard BRIDGE-MIB/IF-MIB conventions that later became common for switch management. It was deployed in enterprise and SMB LAN environments using Asante switch hardware. Engineers can download the ASANTE-SWITCH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ASANTE-SWITCH-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

  • Asante Technologies Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll agentSw, agentFw, and agentHw to confirm the exact software, firmware, and hardware revision running on an Asante switch, useful when auditing a fleet for a known vulnerable firmware version. Per the module's stated scope of port control and traffic monitoring, an operator would also poll per-port traffic counters (not present in the available sample objects) to identify a congested or error-prone switch port. Discrepancies in agentFw across otherwise identical switches would flag inconsistent firmware deployment.
