Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is DellrPDU-MIB?

DellrPDU-MIB (Dell remote Power Distribution Unit MIB) is a vendor-specific MIB for Dell rack PDUs, used to manage and monitor rack power distribution equipment in data centers. It exposes product identity data (display name, description, vendor, firmware version/build number) alongside overall device status objects. It is directly aimed at monitoring hardware status, particularly overall PDU health via productStatusGlobalStatus and its historical counterpart productStatusLastGlobalStatus, plus a timestamp of the last status change, complementing the outlet-level power/load metrics typical of PDU devices. It sits within Dell's PDU-specific enterprise MIB subtree (pdu/pdusub under the dell branch) and likely parallels standard PDU MIB conventions used across the industry. It is typically deployed in data center or server-room environments where administrators track rack power distribution unit availability and condition remotely via SNMP, typically after a DellrPDU-MIB download to load the module's objects into their monitoring platform.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DellrPDU-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 rPDU (rack Power Distribution Unit)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll productStatusGlobalStatus alongside productStatusTimeStamp to detect when the rPDU's overall health transitions to a fault/warning state, comparing against productStatusLastGlobalStatus to see the prior condition. productIDDisplayName, productIDVendor, and productIDVersion/productIDBuildNumber let inventory and monitoring systems confirm exactly which PDU model and firmware revision is deployed. The dell/pdu/pdusub subtree organizes these objects, and productIDDeviceNetworkName helps map SNMP polls back to a specific rack PDU on the network.

What Can Be Monitored

  • overall PDU global status
  • previous global status
  • status change timestamp
  • firmware/build version
  • device network name/identity
