What Is FORCE10-SMI?
FORCE10-SMI is Force10 Networks' (a data-center switch/router vendor later acquired by Dell, forming part of the Dell Networking/OS10 lineage) Structure of Management Information MIB, defining the enterprise OID root and major subtree structure for all Force10 proprietary MIB modules. As an SMI module it contains no managed objects, tables, or traps itself -- only the OID hierarchy that Force10's actual chassis, interface, and environmental MIBs register beneath. It therefore exposes no direct hardware or software status data; real monitoring of Force10 switch/router uptime, temperature, power, fan, and interface status is done through the specific Force10 MIB modules that this SMI module organizes. Its dependency is purely structural, forming the enterprise root that every other Force10 MIB relies on for OID placement. It is deployed as a compile-time prerequisite wherever Force10 (now Dell EMC Networking) data center switches and routers are managed via SNMP. Anyone reviewing the FORCE10-SMI OID list will find only subtree registrations rather than managed objects, confirming its role as a purely structural namespace file.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FORCE10-SMI. 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
- Force10 Networks (Dell EMC Networking) data center switches and routers
Monitoring Examples
This module's stated purpose is to define "the Structure of Management Information for the Force10 enterprise," and no sample objects were provided since it defines only OID subtree structure. There is no monitoring scenario for this module alone -- actual hardware and interface status would be polled from the specific Force10 chassis, environmental, and interface MIB modules registered under the OID tree this module establishes.

| f10Mgmt | 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3 | f10Mgmt is the main subtree for Force10 mib development. | ||
| f10Modules | 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.4 | f10Modules provides a root object identifier from which MODULE-IDENTITY values may be based. | ||
| f10Experiment | 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.20 | f10Experiment provides a root object identifier from which experimental mibs may be temporarily based. mibs are typicially based here if they fall in one of two categories 1) are IETF work-in-process mibs which have not been assigned a permanent object identifier by the IANA. 2) are force10 work-in-process which has not been assigned a permanent object identifier by the force10 assigned number authority, typicially because the mib is not ready for deployment. NOTE WELL: support for mibs in the f10Experiment subtree will be deleted when a permanent object identifier assignment is made. |
