Description: Fortinet FortiSwitch MIB providing SNMP management objects for FortiSwitch Ethernet switch hardware status, port statistics, and PoE management.
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 FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB?
The FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module from Fortinet covering its FortiSwitch line of managed Ethernet switches. It exposes system identity data (model, firmware and driver version), resource utilization counters, trunk/port grouping information, and a set of enterprise traps for event notification. It is explicitly built for monitoring hardware and software status: administrators can track CPU usage, memory usage and capacity, and disk usage and capacity to detect resource exhaustion before it causes an outage, and the version objects let tools confirm the running firmware and driver builds. It has no formal dependency on other standard MIBs but is typically polled alongside IF-MIB/BRIDGE-MIB for interface-level data on the same switch. It is typically deployed in enterprise or campus networks managed through FortiSwitch Manager, FortiGate, or third-party NMS platforms that poll FortiSwitch hardware alongside Fortinet firewalls. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-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
- Fortinet FortiSwitch managed Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll fsSysCpuUsage and fsSysMemUsage/fsSysMemCapacity on a schedule to alert when a FortiSwitch's control plane approaches saturation, and check fsSysDiskUsage/fsSysDiskCapacity to catch flash or log storage filling up. fsSysVersion and fsDirverVersion (driver version) let a monitoring system verify firmware consistency across a stack of switches. fsTrunkMember would be checked to confirm link-aggregation trunk membership matches the intended topology, and the fsTraps/fsTrapPrefix objects define the enterprise trap OIDs raised on fault conditions such as PoE overload or link failure.
What Can Be Monitored
- CPU usage
- memory usage and capacity
- disk usage and capacity
- firmware and driver version
- trunk/LAG member ports
