What Is Dell-VRTX-TRACEROUTE-MIB?
Dell-VRTX-TRACEROUTE-MIB is a minimal Dell private MIB that provides SNMP-based traceroute diagnostic capability on the integrated switch module of the Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis, letting an operator trigger a network path trace from the switch itself. Beyond the diagnostic trigger, it exposes a MIB version object to identify which revision of the traceroute feature/schema is running on the device. Its monitoring role is primarily diagnostic rather than continuous health polling: it lets an administrator confirm network path/reachability issues from the switch's own vantage point, which is a software-level diagnostic tool for troubleshooting connectivity faults rather than a table of ongoing metrics. As a narrowly scoped Dell VRTX private MIB, it has no significant dependency on external standard MIBs beyond typical SNMP conventions. It is deployed on Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis systems when network operators need to run path diagnostics directly from the chassis's integrated switch. Engineers can download the Dell-VRTX-TRACEROUTE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-VRTX-TRACEROUTE-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
- traceroute MIB/feature version
- network path diagnostic trigger
- trace result/hop status (inferred)
Supported Devices
- Dell PowerEdge VRTX chassis integrated switch module
Monitoring Examples
An admin would check rlTraceRouteMibVersion to confirm the traceroute feature's schema version before invoking a trace, then use the MIB's other trigger objects to initiate a path trace from the VRTX switch module toward a suspect destination. This is useful for confirming whether a connectivity problem lies within the VRTX chassis's uplink path or further upstream in the network. Because only the version object was present in the sampled data, most operational trigger/result objects are inferred from the MIB's stated purpose.
