What Is Dell-VRTX-3SW2SWTABLES-MIB?
Dell-VRTX-3SW2SWTABLES-MIB is a Dell private MIB for the VRTX modular chassis switch module, managing internal Layer 2/3 switch-to-switch table synchronization between the chassis's redundant switching engines. Its main exposed object controls the polling interval used to refresh these internal switching tables, which underpin how the switch modules keep forwarding/routing state consistent with one another. From a monitoring standpoint it is a configuration-oriented MIB whose main relevance is confirming the switch table refresh interval is set appropriately — an interval set too high could mean stale forwarding table sync between switch modules, manifesting as inconsistent traffic forwarding during failover events. It is a narrowly scoped Dell VRTX-specific private MIB, working alongside the related Dell-VRTX-BRGMACSWITCH-MIB for the actual MAC/bridging table content. It is deployed on Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis systems with dual integrated switch modules requiring internal table synchronization. Engineers can download the Dell-VRTX-3SW2SWTABLES-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-VRTX-3SW2SWTABLES-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
- switch-to-switch table polling interval
Supported Devices
- Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis with dual integrated switch modules
Monitoring Examples
An admin would check rl3sw2swTablesPollingInterval to confirm how frequently the two switch modules in a VRTX chassis synchronize their internal Layer 2/3 tables. If the polling interval is set too long, forwarding inconsistencies between the redundant switch modules could persist longer after a topology change, delaying convergence. Because only a single scalar object was available in the sampled data, this MIB's monitoring value is primarily as a configuration check rather than a rich data source.
