What Is DLINK-3100-MAC-BASE-PRIO?
DLINK-3100-MAC-BASE-PRIO is a proprietary D-Link MIB, part of the "rl" private enterprise tree used across D-Link's Rlink-based switch software, for the DES-3100 series of managed switches. It governs MAC address-based priority forcing for QoS, letting the switch assign a forced Layer-3 Class-of-Service value to traffic matching a specific MAC address and mask rather than relying on default classification. As a configuration-oriented feature MIB its main software-status value is confirming the feature is present and enabled (via its support and version objects) and that specific force-priority rules are correctly active, rather than reporting temperature or CPU load. It sits alongside other D-Link 3100 QoS/policy MIBs (such as DLINK-3100-POLICY-MIB) as part of the same private object tree rather than depending on IETF QoS standards. It is typically deployed on D-Link DES-3100 series switches in campus or SMB wiring closets where priority treatment must be guaranteed for specific known devices. Engineers can download the DLINK-3100-MAC-BASE-PRIO file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DLINK-3100-MAC-BASE-PRIO. 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
- D-Link DES-3100 series switch
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll rlMacBasePrioSupport to confirm the switch software supports MAC-based priority forcing, then walk rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosTable/rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosEntry to see which MAC address/mask pairs (rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosAddress, rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosMask) have a forced CoS applied and whether each rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosRowStatus is active. Cross-referencing rlMacBasePrioForceL3CosParamsTable reveals the specific CoS parameters bound to each rule. An unexpected notInService rowStatus, or missing entries for a device that should have priority, would indicate a dropped QoS override for something like a VoIP endpoint.
What Can Be Monitored
- MAC-based priority forcing support status
- forced Layer-3 CoS rules by MAC address/mask
- row status of priority-force entries
- priority-forcing MIB/feature version
