Description: Manages the ESS2000 HIPPI switch hardware including port states and performance counters.

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 ESSENTIAL-ODS-ESS2000-HIPPI-SWITCH-MIB?

ESSENTIAL-ODS-ESS2000-HIPPI-SWITCH-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Essential Communications for the ESS2000, a 32-port HIPPI (High-Performance Parallel Interface) switch, covering the switch's identity, sensors, and internal backplane/card structure. It exposes descriptive objects for the switch itself, sensor readings, a system-control-card (scc) block with administrative/operational status and date/time, and a backplane table enumerating installed cards. This is clearly a hardware status MIB: sccAdminStatus/sccOperStatus track whether the switch's system control card is administratively and operationally up, switchSensors exposes environmental sensor data, and the backplane table lets an operator confirm which physical cards are present and identified in each backplane slot. There is no explicit dependency on other MIBs apparent from the description, though it likely coexists with standard IF-MIB for HIPPI interface counters. It is deployed in high-performance computing and legacy supercomputing environments where HIPPI switch fabrics interconnect compute nodes and storage. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the ESSENTIAL-ODS-ESS2000-HIPPI-SWITCH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ESSENTIAL-ODS-ESS2000-HIPPI-SWITCH-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll sccAdminStatus and sccOperStatus to confirm the switch's system control card is both administratively enabled and operationally functioning, and read switchSensors for environmental health data such as temperature or power readings. Walking backPlaneTable/backPlaneEntry by backPlaneIndex reveals which backPlaneCard is installed in each backPlaneNumber slot; an unexpected mismatch or missing card entry would indicate a hardware card has been removed or has failed to be recognized by the switch.

What Can Be Monitored

system control card admin/operational status
environmental sensor readings
installed backplane card inventory
switch date/time
number of ports
