Description: Monitors and captures packet statistics on D-Link switch interfaces.

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-PACKET-MONITOR-MIB?

DLINKSW-PACKET-MONITOR-MIB is a D-Link proprietary MIB for configuring traffic mirroring (local SPAN and RSPAN) on D-Link industrial switches. It exposes configuration objects for designating source ports or VLANs and destination monitor ports, both for local SPAN sessions confined to a single switch and for Remote SPAN sessions that span multiple switches over a dedicated RSPAN VLAN. It is primarily a traffic-monitoring configuration MIB rather than a hardware-health MIB, but by enabling port mirroring it underpins software-based performance and fault diagnosis, letting operators feed mirrored traffic to a protocol analyzer to catch anomalies such as unexpected broadcast storms or malformed packets. It is vendor-specific with no formal dependency on other standard MIBs, though it works alongside standard interface and VLAN MIBs. It is typically deployed in industrial networks where administrators need to capture traffic for troubleshooting without disrupting production ports. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the DLINKSW-PACKET-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DLINKSW-PACKET-MONITOR-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 industrial Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were supplied for this MIB; based on the module description an admin would configure a local-SPAN or RSPAN session by setting source port/VLAN and destination monitor-port objects, then attach a packet analyzer to the destination port. Observing unexpected traffic patterns (e.g., excessive broadcasts or retransmissions) on the mirrored feed would indicate a problem on the source ports. This is a configuration-oriented MIB rather than one exposing ongoing traffic counters.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SPAN session configuration
  • RSPAN VLAN configuration
  • mirrored source ports
  • mirror destination port
