Description: Foundry/Brocade FastIron MIB for DNS client configuration including name server addresses and domain lookup settings.
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 FDRY-DNS2-MIB?
FDRY-DNS2-MIB is a Brocade (Foundry) proprietary MIB for FastIron devices covering DNS client configuration, providing combined IPv4/IPv6 tables for configured name servers and domain lookup settings. It exposes configuration data only, letting an operator or management system verify which DNS servers and domain suffixes a switch is configured to use for its own name resolution. Its monitoring relevance is limited to configuration/software-status verification: confirming the correct DNS servers are reachable and configured helps explain hostname-resolution failures during device management operations (e.g., syslog or TACACS+ server lookups by name) rather than reporting hardware health. It replaces or supplements the vendor's earlier DNS MIB with unified IPv4/IPv6 support; no specific object names were available in the provided source. It is deployed on Brocade/Foundry FastIron switches wherever the device itself needs to resolve hostnames for management functions. Engineers can download the FDRY-DNS2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FDRY-DNS2-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
- Brocade/Foundry FastIron managed Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
No object or table names were provided for this module, so a specific polling example cannot be grounded in real OIDs here; based on its stated purpose, an admin would typically use it to read the configured DNS server address list and default domain name to confirm why a FastIron switch is failing to resolve a hostname used in another configuration (e.g., an NTP or syslog server specified by name).
