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-SMARTPORTS-MIB?

Dell-SMARTPORTS-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB for Dell (Networking) switches implementing the Smart Ports feature, which lets administrators save and share common port-level or global configuration command sets (macros) that can be applied to a port, a trunk, or a global configuration context. It exposes configuration-oriented objects for defining, storing, and tracking which Smart Ports macros (user-defined or pre-defined) have been applied per interface or globally, essentially providing a per-interface database of applied macro configurations. This MIB is primarily a configuration-management MIB rather than a hardware-health or performance MIB - it is useful for confirming which configuration template is currently active on a switch port and detecting configuration drift. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is indicated, though it operates alongside the standard IF-MIB for port identification. It is deployed on Dell EMC Networking switches in enterprise LAN environments where standardized port profiles are used to simplify device onboarding (e.g., IP phones, access points, other switches), and administrators can download the Dell-SMARTPORTS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

No sample objects were provided in this batch, so specific object names cannot be cited, but based on the module description an administrator would poll a per-interface macro-application table to confirm which Smart Ports macro (if any) is currently applied to a given port or trunk. A port expected to have a specific macro (e.g., for an IP phone) showing no macro applied, or an unexpected macro, would indicate configuration drift or an incomplete provisioning step. This should be confirmed against the actual MIB object names before building monitoring around it.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rlSmartPorts	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140			The private MIB module definition for Smart Ports - provide a convenient way to save and share common configurations. Smart Ports group a group of command to be applied on a port or a trunk OR on a global configuration context. In addition Smart port application provide a database per interface (or global configuration) to list applied macros. Each smart port macro can either a user-defined or pre-defined.
rlSmartPortsMacroManageTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140.1		not-accessible	The table listing available smart ports macros, holding: macro name macro type: user defined, Dell provided per interface Dell provided globally and matches a macro index to be used as identifier in rlSmartPortsMacroContentTable where the macro content really IS Allow to add/remove user defined macros.
rlSmartPortsMacroManageEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140.1.1		not-accessible	An entry in the rlSmartPortsMacroManageTable.
RLS rlSmartPortsMacroName	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140.1.1.1	RlSmartPortsMacroName	not-accessible	Macro name.
INT rlSmartPortsMacroIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This variable identifies the macro's index. An arbitrary incremental Index used as identifier in rlSmartPortsMacroContentTable where the macro content really IS.
MAC rlSmartPortsMacroType	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.140.1.1.3	MacroType	read-only	This variable identifies the macro type: user defined, Dell provided per interface Dell provided globally
