What Is CTRON-SFPS-FLOOD-MIB?
CTRON-SFPS-FLOOD-MIB is a Cabletron Systems (Enterasys) SFPS (Secure Fast Packet Switching) MIB governing flood-control features such as broadcast suppression and unknown-unicast forwarding limits on Cabletron switches. It exposes configuration and operational-status objects for flood-control policy entries, including administrative/operational status, status-change timestamps, and request/response counters, alongside separate mobile-user table objects. Its monitoring value centers on service/feature status rather than physical hardware -- whether a flood-control policy is operationally up or down, and how many flood requests/responses it has handled, tells an operator the broadcast-storm protection feature is actively functioning and how often it is being triggered. It is part of Cabletron's broader SFPS enterprise MIB suite and likely shares indexing/textual conventions with other Cabletron switch MIBs rather than a public standard. It is deployed on legacy Cabletron/Enterasys switches in enterprise LAN environments to manage and monitor broadcast/flood suppression policies through the CTRON-SFPS-FLOOD-MIB MIB.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CTRON-SFPS-FLOOD-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
- Cabletron Systems (Enterasys) SFPS switch
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll sfpsServiceCenterFloodEntry rows, checking sfpsServiceCenterFloodAdminStatus against sfpsServiceCenterFloodOperStatus to confirm a configured flood-control policy (identified by sfpsServiceCenterFloodName/sfpsServiceCenterFloodAddress) is actually active, and watch sfpsServiceCenterFloodRequests/sfpsServiceCenterFloodResponses for a spike indicating a broadcast storm is being suppressed. The sfpsServiceCenterFloodStatusTime field shows how long the policy has held its current state, useful for spotting an entry that recently flapped.
What Can Be Monitored
- flood-control policy admin/operational status
- flood request/response counters
- policy status change timestamp
- mobile-user table entries
