Description: D-Link switch MIB extending IEEE 802.1X port-based access control with vendor-specific session, VLAN assignment, and guest-VLAN objects not covered by the standard PAE-MIB

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-DOT1X-EXT-MIB?

DLINKSW-DOT1X-EXT-MIB is a D-Link switch MIB extending standard IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control (as defined in the standard IEEE8021-PAE-MIB) with vendor-specific objects for D-Link managed switches. It exposes 802.1X extensions such as per-session details, dynamic VLAN assignment, and guest-VLAN configuration not covered by the base standard. It is used to monitor the software-level status of network access control — active 802.1X sessions, which VLAN a supplicant was assigned, and guest-VLAN fallback state — useful for detecting authentication failures or unexpected guest-VLAN placement rather than any hardware fault. It explicitly extends the standard IEEE8021-PAE-MIB, so it must be interpreted together with that base standard MIB. It is deployed on D-Link enterprise/campus switches implementing 802.1X port authentication with dynamic VLAN assignment, for example in BYOD or guest-access network designs, and administrators can download the DLINKSW-DOT1X-EXT-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser for reference.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DLINKSW-DOT1X-EXT-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 Ethernet switches

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names were included in the source excerpt, so a concrete polling example can't be grounded in real identifiers. Based on the short description, an admin would typically poll per-session 802.1X extension objects to confirm the VLAN a device was dynamically assigned after authentication, or to check whether a port fell back to the guest VLAN due to authentication failure.

What Can Be Monitored

  • 802.1X session VLAN assignment
  • guest VLAN fallback state
  • port authentication session details

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dDot1xExtAuthEapolFramesRx OID:

Select a D-Link managed switch (802.1X extensions: dynamic/guest VLAN) 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 dDot1xExtAuthEapolFramesRx 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. The number of valid EAPOL frames of any type that have been received by this Authenticator. 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.
