Description: Defines Dell vendor identification and branding objects within the Dell enterprise MIB tree.

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-Vendor-MIB?

Dell-Vendor-MIB is a Dell enterprise MIB that defines vendor identification and product branding objects, exposing details like the product's display name, description, vendor, version, build number, and device network name. It also defines a per-unit table carrying serial number and asset tag information, useful in multi-unit chassis or stacked systems. Rather than performance counters, its monitoring value is asset and software-version tracking: it lets a management system confirm exactly which Dell product, firmware/software build, and physical unit (via serial number, asset tag, and Dell PPID/Express Service Code) it is talking to, which is foundational for inventory audits and support-case correlation. It underlies other Dell hardware/LAN MIBs (referenced via the dellLan branch) and typically depends on the standard Dell enterprise OID registration. It is deployed across Dell networking and server products where Dell-Vendor-MIB SNMP monitoring is used for asset inventory or firmware-version compliance checks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Dell-Vendor-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 PowerSwitch SN5600 (2023) — Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet data center switch
Dell PowerSwitch E3200-ON Series (2023) — campus L3 switch running SmartFabric OS10/Enterprise SONiC

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll productIdentificationDisplayName and productIdentificationVersion/productIdentificationBuildNumber to confirm the exact software build running on a Dell device before or after a firmware upgrade. The productIdentificationPerUnitTable/productIdentificationPerUnitEntry, indexed by productIdentificationPerBoxIndex, exposes productIdentificationSerialNumber and productIdentificationAssetTag per physical unit in a stack or chassis, letting an inventory system reconcile discovered units against asset records. Unexpected mismatches between expected and actual productIdentificationVendor or version values would flag a misconfigured or substituted unit.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using envMonFanSpeed OID:

Select a Dell networking or server product as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type envMonFanSpeed into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the current speed of the monitored fan. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the speed drops below the level expected for a healthy, spinning fan, since a stalled or slowing fan often precedes overheating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
