Description: Configures SNMP agent settings, community strings, and access control on Dell 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-SNMP-MIB?

This Dell private MIB configures the switch's own SNMP agent, including engine ID, SNMPv3 target-address handling, IP-address-to-index mapping, and notification filtering. It exposes management-plane configuration data rather than device operational statistics: engine identity, per-target parameters, and address-to-index mapping tables used to associate SNMPv3 management stations with internal indices. Its monitoring relevance is to the health of the management/monitoring plane itself, letting an administrator verify that SNMPv3 security parameters and trap destinations are correctly configured so that other monitoring data and traps actually reach the intended management station. It extends standard SNMP-TARGET-MIB, SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB, and SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB concepts with Dell-specific indexing helpers. It is deployed on Dell switches wherever administrators manage SNMPv3 authentication and trap-destination configuration for centralized monitoring. Engineers can download the Dell-SNMP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-SNMP-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 network switch (PowerConnect/N-Series family)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator troubleshooting a missing SNMPv3 trap checks rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexTable/rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexEntry to confirm that rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexAddr for the intended management station correctly maps to rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexMappedIndex. The rlTargetAddrExtTable and its rlTargetAddrMagicUsedInIndex object help verify that a configured trap target's internal indexing is consistent with the device's SNMPv3 engine configuration, exposed via rlSnmpEngineID. A mismatch in this mapping would explain why notifications configured for a given IP address aren't being delivered.

What Can Be Monitored

SNMP engine ID
SNMPv3 target address configuration
IP-address-to-index mapping status
notification filter configuration

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rlSNMP	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98			Private MIB module for SNMP support in Dell devices.
rlSNMPv3	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1
INT rlTargetParamsTestingLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	The level of the tests done when configuring an entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable.
INT rlNotifyFilterTestingLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The level of the tests done when configuring an entry in the snmpNotifyFilterTable.
SNM rlSnmpEngineID	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.3	SnmpEngineID	read-write	A variable for setting the router's local engineID value. Setting this variable will effect the value of snmpEngineID. Setting this variable to the value '00 00 00 00 00'H will cause snmpEngineID to get an automatically created value based on the device basic MAC address. This method of setting the agent's engineID is recommended for stand-alone systems. Setting this variable to any other (valid) value will set snmpEngineID to this value. Setting this variable to all 'ff'H or all zeros is not allowed, with the exception of the value '00 00 00 00 00'H. The last method is recommended for stackable system, in order for the engineID to be unique within an administrative domain. Setting this value (to a value different then the default value) is required before configuring users data in usmUserTable and vacmSecurityToGroupTable. Changing the value of this variable has 2 side-effects: - All user data will be deleted, including: all usmUserTable configured entries and vacmSecurityToGroupTable entries where vacmSecurityModel = 3. - All snmpCommunityTable entries with snmpCommunityContextEngineID value equal to old rlSnmpEngineID value, will be updated with the new rlSnmpEngineID value.
rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.4		not-accessible	This table maps ip addresses to indices. The output index is used as a component in some SNMPv3 tables fields (for example: snmpTargetAddrName). Ipv4 addresses are not supported by this table. Note: in getNext operations on this table, only mappings which are in use in snmpTargetAddrTable (using rlTargetAddrMagicUsedInIndex) will be retreived. The mapped index does not include delimiters which are forbidden in SNMPv3 tag values (and thus can be used in tag fields).
rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.4.1		not-accessible	The row definition for this table.
IPt rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.4.1.1	InetAddressType	not-accessible	Type of NMS IP address.
IP rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.4.1.2	InetAddress	not-accessible	NMS IP address.
OCT rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexMappedIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.4.1.3	OCTET STRING	read-only	The index mapped for this row ip address.
rlTargetAddrExtTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.5		not-accessible	This table extends rlTargetAddrExtEntry.
rlTargetAddrExtEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.5.1		not-accessible	The row definition for this table.
OCT rlTargetAddrMagicUsedInIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.5.1.1	OCTET STRING	read-create	Setting this field to a 4 octets length value means that ip mapping (using rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexTable) is used for this row. If such a mapping is not used, a 0-length octet string value should be used for this field (this is also the default). This field value is determined only once, upon creation of an entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable. A change in its value while updating an existing entry is ignored. Prior to creating a snmpTargetAddrTable entry with a 4 octets length value for this field, the rlSNMPv3IpAddrToIndexTable must be used in order to retrieve this value.
rlInet2EngineIdTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6		not-accessible	This table maps inet addresses to SNMPv3 engine identifiers.
rlInet2EngineIdEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6.1		not-accessible	The row definition for this table.
IPt rlInet2EngineIdAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6.1.1	InetAddressType	not-accessible	Inet address type of the mapped inet address.
IP rlInet2EngineIdAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6.1.2	InetAddress	not-accessible	Mapped inet address.
SNM rlInet2EngineIdEngineId	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6.1.3	SnmpEngineID	read-create	The SNMPv3 engine id to which the address denoted by rlInet2EngineIdAddressType and rlInet2EngineIdAddress is mapped.
ROW rlInet2EngineIdStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.6.1.4	RowStatus	read-create	The management control for this table.
rlUsmUserExtTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.8		not-accessible	This table extends usmUserEntry.
rlUsmUserExtEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.8.1		not-accessible	The row definition for this table.
STR rlUsmUserAuthPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.8.1.1	DisplayString	read-create	Authentication password. Setting the field to a non zero-length value will convert the given password to a localized authentication key, appropriate to the corresponding usmUserAuthProtocol field. The key is localized using the appropriate usmUserEngineID field, according to the algorithm specified in RFC 2574. This field may be set to a non zero-length value if the following conditions hold: 1) This is the creation of the entry. 2) The value of the corresponding usmUserCloneFrom field is zeroDotZero. Setting the field in any other case will cause no effect.
STR rlUsmUserPrivPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.1.8.1.2	DisplayString	read-create	Privacy password. Setting the field to a non zero-length value will convert the given password to a localized privacy key, appropriate to the corresponding usmUserAuthProtocol field. The key is localized using the appropriate usmUserEngineID field, according to the algorithm specified in RFC 2574. This field may be set to a non zero-length value if the following conditions hold: 1) This is the creation of the entry. 2) The value of the corresponding usmUserCloneFrom field is zeroDotZero. Setting the field in any other case will cause no effect.
rlSNMPDomains	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.2
rlSnmpUDPMridDomain	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.2.1			The SNMPv2 over UDP transport domain, used when Multi-Instance Router is supported (more than one MIR instance exist). The corresponding transport address is of type RlSnmpUDPMridAddress.
rlSnmpUdpIpv6MridDomain	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.2.2			The SNMPv2 over UDP over IPv6 transport domain, used when Multi-Instance Router is supported (more than one MIR instance exist). The corresponding transport address is of type RlSnmpUDPIpv6MridAddress for global IPv6 addresses.
rlSnmpUdpIpv6zMridDomain	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.2.3			The SNMPv2 over UDP over IPv6 transport domain, used when Multi-Instance Router is supported (more than one MIR instance exist). The corresponding transport address is of type RlSnmpUDPIpv6zMridAddress for scoped IPv6 addresses with a zone index.

The value of this object, when attaching a variable instance of the rlSnmpRequestManagedMridTable to an SNMP request, will determine the managed Mrid for this request. It is important to mention that the variable insance must be attached as the first variable in the PDU in order to influence all variables.
INT rlSnmpRequestMridStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.3.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The status of this entry.

INT rndCommunityInetTrapDestPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.5.1.9	INTEGER	read-create	The transport protocol (usually UDP) port to which traps to the management station represebted by this entry will be sent. The default is the well-known IANA assigned port number for SNMP traps. This object is relevant only if rndCommunityInetTrapsEnable has a value different from trapsDisable.
IPt rndCommunityInetAltAddrType	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.5.1.10	InetAddressType	read-create	For testing purposes
IP rndCommunityInetAltAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.5.1.11	InetAddress	read-create	For testing purposes
rlMridInetTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.6		not-accessible	The MRID related configurations table of the agent

TIK rlEventsDefaultPollingInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.7.2	TimeTicks	read-write	The default polling time. Will be used to detrermined whether the events configured by a poller in rlEventsTable can be destroyed, in absence of an entry for this poller in the rlEventsPollingControlTable.
INT rlEventsDeleteEvents	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.7.3	INTEGER	read-write	SETting a id of an active poller will cause all the rows of this poller in the rlEventsTable to be destroyed. This is equivalent to SETting rlEventsStatus of each row of this poller to 'destroy'. GET operation on this variable is meaningless, and the value 0 will be returned in this case (actual pollers start from 1).
rlEventsMaskTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.7.4		not-accessible	The table showing the events mask for each client.

Each timestamp is in TimeTicks units encoded in network order. Thus the mask can contain up to 40 timestamps. If a place in the array is empty it will contain 0. Each timestamp shows the time of the last occurrence of the event whose rlEventIndexKey in the rlEventsTable for this client id is the same as its index in the array. Each for bytes of the rlEventsMask will contain the timestamp in TimeTicks units encoded in network order of the last time the event
rlEventsTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.98.7.5		not-accessible	The table relating the events recorded to the indices in the rlEventsMask.
