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

FASTPATH-PORTSECURITY-PRIVATE-MIB is a Netgear private MIB for the FASTPATH switch software stack, covering port security feature configuration such as MAC address limiting and violation handling on switch ports. It exposes configuration and per-port status data governing the port security feature: a global enable/mode setting and a per-port security table describing each port's security configuration and state. In monitoring terms it is used to confirm port security is enabled where expected and to check per-port security status, functioning as a security/access-control status module rather than one reporting temperature, CPU, or power health of the switch. It depends on the standard IF-MIB for interface indexing since port security state is inherently tied to individual switch ports. It is typically deployed on Netgear FASTPATH-based managed switches in enterprise wiring closets, where administrators can download the FASTPATH-PORTSECURITY-PRIVATE-MIB file to enforce MAC-based port security policies.

An administrator would poll agentGlobalPortSecurityMode to confirm port security is enabled switch-wide, then check the agentPortSecurityTable (via agentPortSecurityEntry rows) to see per-port security configuration and violation state. A port entry showing a violation or lockout condition in this table would reveal that an unauthorized device attempted to connect to that port, prompting investigation of a possible rogue device.
