Description: Manages Trunk-Based Isolation (TBI) for traffic separation on Dell switching platforms.

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-TBI-MIB?

Despite the module name suggesting trunk-based isolation, its actual description and objects show this is a Time Range Infrastructure MIB used to define named, scheduled time windows, both absolute (fixed start/end) and periodic (recurring weekly) ranges. It exposes time-range name, absolute start/end timestamps, an active-status flag, and periodic weekday/start definitions for recurring schedules. Its monitoring relevance is confirming schedule-driven software behavior: rlTBITimeRangeActiveStatus tells an administrator whether a defined time window is currently in effect, which matters when other features (such as time-based ACLs) reference these ranges to enable or disable a policy automatically. It is designed to be referenced by other Dell policy or ACL MIBs that apply time-scheduled behavior rather than functioning as a standalone feature. It is typically deployed on Dell switches implementing time-of-day-based access control or feature scheduling, such as restricting certain traffic to business hours. Engineers can download the Dell-TBI-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-TBI-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 defines a named window in rlTBITimeRangeTable/rlTBITimeRangeEntry using rlTBITimeRangeName with rlTBITimeRangeAbsoluteStart and rlTBITimeRangeAbsoluteEnd, or a recurring window via rlTBIPeriodicTable/rlTBIPeriodicWeekDayList and rlTBIPeriodicStart. Polling rlTBITimeRangeActiveStatus for that named range confirms whether the schedule is currently active, useful when validating that a time-based policy took effect at the expected moment. The rlTBITimeRangeRowStatus object shows whether the range definition itself is properly created and in service.

What Can Be Monitored

  • time-range active status
  • absolute time-range start/end
  • periodic/weekly recurring schedule definition
  • time-range row/configuration status
