What Is Dell-STORMCTRL-MIB?
Dell-STORMCTRL-MIB is a Dell proprietary MIB (Radlan/Marvell-derived switch software) implementing storm control, rate-limiting unknown-unicast, unknown-multicast, broadcast, and multicast traffic per port to prevent a flood from overwhelming the switch. Its objects cover platform capability flags (rate-unit types, per-type support, inter-type enable/rate dependency), a per-port table with enable/rate settings for each of the four traffic types, and matching set-default objects for bulk configuration. As a configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm storm-control rate thresholds are tuned appropriately for a given port's expected traffic mix. It is deployed on Dell Networking (Radlan/Marvell-based) switches. Engineers can download the Dell-STORMCTRL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-STORMCTRL-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 storm-control rate configuration
Supported Devices
- Dell Networking (Radlan/Marvell-based) switches
Monitoring Examples
An administrator checks rlStormCtrlBroadcastRate on a port experiencing broadcast-storm-related instability to confirm the configured threshold is appropriate on a Dell switch.
