What Is CTRON-SFPS-DIAGSTATS-MIB?

CTRON-SFPS-DIAGSTATS-MIB is a Cabletron Systems enterprise MIB providing diagnostic statistics for the SmartSwitch Flow Path System (SFPS), used to troubleshoot virtual network flow-forwarding issues on Cabletron switching platforms. It exposes flood-related counters tracking how often traffic is flooded rather than switched via learned paths, including flood counts, sequence numbers, and drop statistics, plus a reset control to clear counters. Its monitoring value lies in detecting software/forwarding-path faults: rising sfpsFloodCountersNumDrops or sfpsFloodCountersMaxDrops signals that the switch fabric is discarding flooded frames, which points to congestion or a flow-path programming problem rather than a physical hardware failure. It has no stated dependency on other standard MIBs and appears to be a self-contained diagnostic extension within Cabletron's SFPS product family. It is deployed on Cabletron/Enterasys SmartSwitch platforms where administrators need low-level visibility into flow-based forwarding behavior for troubleshooting. Engineers can download the CTRON-SFPS-DIAGSTATS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-SFPS-DIAGSTATS-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 poll sfpsFloodCountersTable/sfpsFloodCountersEntry rows keyed by sfpsFloodCountersSource to read sfpsFloodCountersNumFloods and sfpsFloodCountersNumDrops, watching for a source whose drop count is climbing toward sfpsFloodCountersMaxDrops. sfpsFloodCountersLastDropTime and sfpsFloodCountersMaxDropsTime help correlate drop bursts with other network events like a topology change or spanning-tree recalculation. If drops persist after issuing sfpsFloodCountersResetReset to clear counters, that would indicate an ongoing forwarding-path problem rather than a one-time transient flood.

What Can Be Monitored

flood event count
flood packet drop count
last drop timestamp
maximum drops recorded
counter reset control
