Description: Manages GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) configuration and status on Dell 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 Dell-GVRP-MIB?

Dell-GVRP-MIB is a Dell private MIB that manages GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) configuration and statistics on Dell switches, which allow VLAN membership information to be dynamically propagated across a switched network. It exposes per-port GVRP timer settings (join, leave, leave-all) and override options, a global GVRP support/version indicator, and per-port statistics counting GVRP protocol events like received JoinEmpty (RJE) and Join-In (RJIn) messages. For monitoring purposes this MIB is primarily protocol/software-health focused: unexpected drops or spikes in GVRP statistics counters can reveal a flapping trunk port or a misbehaving neighbor switch's VLAN registration process, while the timer tables confirm consistent GVRP timing configuration across the fabric to avoid VLAN propagation delays or loops. It is a Dell-specific private MIB modeling functionality standardized elsewhere as IEEE 802.1Q GVRP/GARP, so it depends conceptually on that standard while using Dell's own object structure. It is deployed on Dell switches in networks using dynamic VLAN registration instead of static VLAN trunk configuration, and the Dell-GVRP-MIB MIB remains the primary reference for administrators configuring or troubleshooting GVRP behavior on that platform.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-GVRP-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.

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check rlPortGvrpTimersTable/rlPortGvrpTimersEntry for a port's rlPortGvrpJoinTime and rlPortGvrpLeaveTime to confirm timers are consistent with neighboring switches, since mismatched leave timers can cause VLAN flapping. Reviewing rlPortGvrpStatisticsTable counters like rlPortGvrpStatisticsRJE and rlPortGvrpStatisticsRJIn helps identify a port receiving an abnormal volume of GVRP messages, indicating a topology change or misconfigured neighbor. Checking rlGvrpSupported and rlGvrpMibVersion confirms GVRP capability and MIB version before troubleshooting VLAN propagation issues.

What Can Be Monitored

per-port GVRP join/leave/leave-all timers
GVRP override-GARP setting
GVRP support status and MIB version
per-port GVRP message statistics (RJE, RJIn)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rlPortGvrpStatisticsRJE OID:

Select a Dell network switch 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 rlPortGvrpStatisticsRJE 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 Join Empty Received on the port, since the last clearance. 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.
