Description: Dell EqualLogic IPsec MIB providing objects for configuring and monitoring IPsec security associations in storage networks.

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 EQLIPSEC-MIB?

This is a Dell EqualLogic proprietary MIB for configuring and monitoring IPsec security associations used to protect iSCSI traffic on EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays. It exposes configuration and status data through an IPsec instance table (enable state and row status per instance) and an IPsec policy table describing filter names, IP version, address, and netmask for each policy's traffic selectors. Its monitoring value is primarily security-configuration status, letting administrators confirm which IPsec instances and policies are active and correctly scoped, plus notifications for IPsec-related events, rather than general hardware sensors. No dependency on another standard MIB is indicated; it functions as a self-contained storage-security MIB alongside Dell's broader EqualLogic MIB set. It is deployed in Dell EqualLogic SAN environments where iSCSI traffic must be encrypted/authenticated via IPsec for compliance or security requirements. Engineers can download the EQLIPSEC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EQLIPSEC-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 EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI storage arrays

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll eqlIpsecTable / eqlIpsecEntry to check eqlIpsecEnable and eqlIpsecRowStatus per IPsec instance, confirming a security association is active and not stuck in a notReady or notInService row state after configuration. Checking eqlIpsecPolicyTable / eqlIpsecPolicyEntry with eqlIpsecPolicyFilterAddress and eqlIpsecPolicyFilterNetmaskLen verifies the correct subnet is covered by an IPsec policy, and eqlIpsecNotifications would alert on IPsec negotiation failures affecting SAN traffic protection.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPsec instance enable state and row status
  • IPsec policy filter address/netmask/IP version
  • IPsec-related notifications
