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.

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)

Supported Devices

  • Dell network switches

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.
