Description: Manages Dynamic ARP Inspection settings to prevent ARP spoofing on D-Link 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 DLINKSW-DAI-MIB?

DLINKSW-DAI-MIB is a D-Link proprietary MIB implementing Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), which validates ARP packets against a trusted DHCP-snooping binding table to block ARP-spoofing attacks. Its objects cover an address-validation setting, log-buffer size and clear action, a log-buffer table (interface, VLAN, sender MAC/IP, last-update time, packet count), VLAN-enable bitmap objects (first/second 2K VLAN ranges), a VLAN-configuration table (ARP ACL name/static flag, ACL logging, DHCP-binding logging, row status), and an interface-configuration table (trust enabled). As a configuration/security MIB it lets an administrator confirm which ports are trusted (exempt from inspection) and review the log buffer for blocked spoofed ARP packets. It is deployed on D-Link managed switches. Engineers can download the DLINKSW-DAI-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DLINKSW-DAI-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

  • D-Link managed switches (Dynamic ARP Inspection)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator reviews dDaiLogBufferTable to identify a host sending spoofed ARP packets that Dynamic ARP Inspection has blocked and logged on a D-Link switch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • blocked/logged ARP spoofing attempts
  • trusted-port configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dDaiVlanForwarded OID:

Select a D-Link managed switch (Dynamic ARP Inspection) 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 dDaiVlanForwarded 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. This object indicates the number of ARP packets forwarded by Dynamic Arp Inspection feature. 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 Counter64-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 (in packets), 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.
