Description: Provides CLI configuration and management objects for the Dell VRTX integrated switch.

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-VRTX-CLI-MIB?

This Dell private MIB enables CLI-equivalent management on the Dell VRTX converged-infrastructure chassis's integrated switch module, including remote command execution via SNMP. It exposes CLI session configuration (password, timer, file-logging enable) alongside a remote-CLI mechanism for submitting commands and tracking their execution state, mode, and queue index. Its monitoring value is on the software/management side: rlCLIremoteCLIexecutionState lets an automation tool track whether a submitted command is pending, running, or complete, and rlCliFileEnable/rlCliFileEnableAfterReset show whether CLI output logging is currently active, both important for auditing automated configuration changes. It is layered on top of Dell's base SNMP and CLI infrastructure for the VRTX chassis switch module. It is typically deployed in Dell VRTX blade/converged-infrastructure environments where administrators automate switch configuration via SNMP-driven CLI execution rather than direct console or SSH access, and administrators can download the Dell-VRTX-CLI-MIB file to integrate it into their automation tooling.

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

An automation script submits a command by writing to rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable/rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsEntry, keyed by rlCLIremoteCLIcommandIndex, setting rlCLIremoteCLIcommand to the desired command text. It then polls rlCLIremoteCLIexecutionState and rlCLIremoteCLIexecutionCommandIndex until the command reports completion. Finally it checks rlCliFileEnable to confirm the command's output was captured to a log file, and rlCliTimer to verify the session hasn't timed out mid-execution.

What Can Be Monitored

remote CLI command execution state
remote CLI command index/queue position
CLI file logging enable state
CLI session timer/password configuration

INT rlCLIremoteCLIactivationStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.5.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	Activation status of the command. Any value greater than 0 indicates that the command has been activated and failed
INT rlCLIremoteCLIcommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.1	INTEGER	read-write	Commands that can be given for execution of CLI from remote: takeRemoteCLI: take resources of remote CLI activation releaseRemoteCLI: free resources of remote CLI activation applySentCLI: apply the CLI commands that are currently in rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable. deleteCommandsCLI: delete all the CLI commands that are currently in rlCLIremoteCLIcommandsTable. setEchoModeCLI: entered commands will appear before its output in rlCLIremoteCLIoutputsTable. unsetEchoModeCLI: entered commands will not appear in rlCLIremoteCLIoutputsTable.
U32 rlCLIremoteCLIcommandIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.5.1.1	Unsigned32	not-accessible	The index of the command. The commands will be executed in order of their indexes.

Recommended for non-reliable management channels.
INT rlCLIremoteCLIoutputCommandNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.89.52.6.6.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	The command index of the command whose activation generated thist output row.
