Description: Enterasys Networks MIB for configuring and querying software feature license keys on Enterasys network devices.

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 ENTERASYS-LICENSE-KEY-MIB?

ENTERASYS-LICENSE-KEY-MIB is an Enterasys Networks enterprise MIB for configuring and querying software feature license keys installed on Enterasys switches and other network devices. It exposes a license key table with identifiers, descriptions, the key string, status, status text, last-modified time, and expiration, plus a physical-entity association table tying licenses to specific hardware modules. Its monitoring role is squarely software/licensing status — confirming which optional features are licensed, catching a key nearing or past its etsysLicenseKeyExpiration, and reading the human-readable etsysLicenseKeyStatusText explaining any failure, which matters for compliance and avoiding unexpected feature lockout. It references the ENTITY-MIB indirectly through its physical-table associations, tying license keys to specific chassis/module physical indexes. It's deployed on Enterasys (later Extreme Networks) enterprise switches wherever optional software features are gated by license keys. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ENTERASYS-LICENSE-KEY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ENTERASYS-LICENSE-KEY-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

Enterasys Networks enterprise switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll etsysLicenseKeyTable/etsysLicenseKeyEntry, checking etsysLicenseKeyStatus and etsysLicenseKeyExpiration for each etsysLicenseKeyIdentifier to catch a license about to lapse; etsysLicenseKeyPhysicalTable additionally ties a given key to a specific chassis or module via its physical index, useful when the same feature must be licensed per line card. A status other than "valid" combined with populated etsysLicenseKeyStatusText signals a licensing problem that could disable a feature at the next reboot.

What Can Be Monitored

license key status
license expiration date
license key identifier/description
last-modified timestamp
per-module license association
