Description: Manages CLI script execution and command-line interface configuration on Dell network devices.

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 Dell-CLI-MIB?

Dell-CLI-MIB is a Dell proprietary MIB that manages command-line interface (CLI) configuration and remote CLI script/command execution on Dell network devices, including a remote-CLI feature for issuing and tracking commands via SNMP. It exposes configuration objects (CLI password, timeout, file-based CLI enablement) alongside a table for tracking remote CLI command execution state and history. Its monitoring value is on the software/operational side, letting an operator confirm whether remote CLI execution is enabled and supported, and track the execution state and result of commands issued through this channel, useful for automation tooling that drives configuration via SNMP rather than direct CLI/SSH access. It is a self-contained vendor MIB with no notable dependency on external standard MIBs. It is deployed on Dell PowerConnect/Networking switches where centralized automation systems push CLI commands via SNMP instead of scripted terminal sessions, and the Dell-CLI-MIB download is available for administrators to load into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-CLI-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 PowerConnect/Networking switch

Monitoring Examples

An automation system would set rlCLIremoteCLIcommand and poll rlCLIremoteCLIexecutionState to determine whether a remotely issued command completed successfully, referencing rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable/rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsEntry (indexed by rlCLIremoteCLIcommandIndex) for a history of issued commands. rlCliFileEnable and rlCliFileEnableAfterReset let an operator confirm whether file-based CLI scripting is currently active and will persist across a reboot, while rlCLIremoteCLIsupport indicates whether the feature is available on that particular device model.

What Can Be Monitored

remote CLI command execution state
remote CLI command history
CLI file-scripting enablement
CLI timeout/password configuration
remote CLI feature support

INT rlCLIremoteCLIactivationStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.5.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	Activation status of the command. Any value greater than 0 indicates that the command has been activated and failed
INT rlCLIremoteCLIcommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.1	INTEGER	read-write	Commands that can be given for execution of CLI from remote: takeRemoteCLI: take resources of remote CLI activation releaseRemoteCLI: free resources of remote CLI activation applySentCLI: apply the CLI commands that are currently in rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable. deleteCommandsCLI: delete all the CLI commands that are currently in rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable. setEchoModeCLI: entered commands will appear before its output in rlCLIremoteCLIoutputsTable. unsetEchoModeCLI: entered commands will not appear in rlCLIremoteCLIoutputsTable.
U32 rlCLIremoteCLIcommandIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.5.1.1	Unsigned32	not-accessible	The index of the command. The commands will be executed in order of their indexes.

Recommended for non-reliable management channels.
INT rlCLIremoteCLIoutputCommandNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.6.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	The command index of the command whose activation generated thist output row.
