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.

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

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.
