Description: Manages port security MAC address lockdown and violation policies for Dell EMC OS10 switches.

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 DELLEMC-OS10-PORT-SECURITY-MIB?

DELLEMC-OS10-PORT-SECURITY-MIB is a Dell EMC vendor MIB for OS10-based switches that manages the Layer 2 port security feature, which restricts and tracks which MAC addresses are allowed to communicate on a given switchport. It belongs to the Dell EMC OS10 networking software family and exposes both global switch-wide security settings and per-interface configuration and violation state. For monitoring it is used almost entirely for software/feature status: whether port security is globally and per-port enabled, how many secure (static, dynamic, sticky) MAC addresses are currently learned, and whether a security violation (unauthorized MAC) has occurred on a port. It is a self-contained feature MIB that layers on top of standard IF-MIB interface indexing (via os10PortSecurityIfIndex) for per-port context. It is deployed on Dell EMC PowerSwitch OS10 switches in enterprise access-layer environments where MAC-based port lockdown is used to prevent rogue device attachment. Engineers can download the DELLEMC-OS10-PORT-SECURITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DELLEMC-OS10-PORT-SECURITY-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

  • Dell EMC PowerSwitch (OS10-based) switches

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll os10PortSecurityGlobalTotalSecureAddresses and the per-interface os10PortSecurityIfConfigTable/os10PortSecurityIfConfigEntry to see how many secure MAC addresses are registered on each port, and check os10PortSecurityIfViolationStatus to detect if an unauthorized device attempted to connect to a locked-down port. A rising os10PortSecurityGlobalTotalSecureDynamicAddresses count combined with a violation status flag on a specific interface would indicate an unexpected new device or a possible spoofing attempt. Operators could also use os10PortSecurityGlobalResetViolation remotely to clear a violation after investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port security enabled/disabled state
  • secure MAC address counts (static/dynamic/sticky)
  • per-port violation status
  • total secure addresses learned
  • port security violation events

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using os10PortSecurityGlobalTotalSecureAddresses OID:

Select a Dell EMC 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 os10PortSecurityGlobalTotalSecureAddresses into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of MAC addresses secured in the device. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count changes from its expected baseline, since that would indicate the underlying set of items changed unexpectedly. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
