What is dellNetDCBXPortMultiplePeerCount?

This counter increments each time the switch detects more than one DCBX peer advertising on the same port, which typically signals a hub, unmanaged switch, or cabling misconfiguration between two DCBX-speaking devices. A rising count on a port expected to have a single point-to-point link is worth investigating.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.15.3.1.3.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-DCB-MIB::dellNetDCBXPortMultiplePeerCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.15.3.1.3.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DELL-NETWORKING-DCB-MIB::dellNetDCBXPortMultiplePeerCount.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the DELL-NETWORKING-DCB-MIB::dellNetDCBXPortMultiplePeerCount OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Dell Networking switch (Data Center Bridging/DCBX) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Dell Networking switch (Data Center Bridging/DCBX) 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 dellNetDCBXPortMultiplePeerCount 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. Indicates number of times multiple peers were detected. 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 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.
