Description: Broadcom FastPath (DNOS/FASTPATH) MIB for box-level services including temperature, fans, and power supply monitoring.
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 FASTPATH-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB?
This is Broadcom's private Box Services MIB for FASTPATH-based switches (used under various OEM brands including Dell, NETGEAR, and others licensing the FASTPATH switch software stack), covering chassis-level environmental and box-wide service features. Per its short description, it exposes temperature, fan, and power supply monitoring alongside other box-level services. This is a hardware health MIB in the most direct sense — it is designed specifically to expose environmental sensor status (temperature readings, fan operational state, power supply presence/status) so administrators can detect a failing fan, an overheating chassis, or a lost power feed before it causes an outage. No sample objects were available in this batch, but as a FASTPATH-family private MIB it is used alongside the many other FASTPATH-*-PRIVATE-MIB modules covering the same switch platform rather than any external IETF MIB. It is deployed on FASTPATH-based fixed and stackable Ethernet switches across multiple OEM brands, wherever basic environmental health monitoring of the switch chassis is needed. Engineers can download the FASTPATH-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-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
- FASTPATH-based Ethernet switch (multiple OEM brands, e.g. Dell, NETGEAR)
Monitoring Examples
Sample object names were not available for this MIB, so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real names; based on its description, an admin would be expected to poll per-fan operational-status objects and per-power-supply presence/status objects, along with a chassis temperature reading, to detect a failed fan or an overheating condition before it triggers a shutdown.
What Can Be Monitored
- fan operational status
- power supply status
- chassis temperature
- box-level service status
