Description: Brocade Foundry stacking MIB providing unit membership, stack topology, and inter-unit link management for FastIron stackable switch systems.

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 FOUNDRY-SN-STACKING-MIB?

FOUNDRY-SN-STACKING-MIB is a Brocade/Foundry proprietary MIB managing unit membership, stack topology, and inter-unit links for FastIron stackable switch systems. It exposes global stack configuration (topology, mode, persistent MAC timer) and a per-unit configuration table describing configured stack members. Its monitoring emphasis is hardware/topology status: the stack topology state (ring vs. degraded chain), unit membership/presence, and persistent MAC timer directly reveal whether a stack member has failed or an inter-unit link has dropped, causing a stack split. It is a standalone Foundry stacking framework, sometimes cross-referenced with ENTITY-MIB for per-unit hardware identity. It is used on stacked FastIron switches deployed as a single logical switch in wiring closets or access layers. Engineers can download the FOUNDRY-SN-STACKING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FOUNDRY-SN-STACKING-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.

Brocade/Foundry FastIron stackable switch

Monitoring Examples

snStackingConfigUnitTable (snStackingConfigUnitIndex, snStackingConfigUnitType, RowStatus) shows configured versus active stack units, while snStackingGlobalTopology and snStackingGlobalMode reveal whether the stack is operating as a full ring or has degraded to a chain; a unit missing from the active membership would indicate a stack member has failed or lost its inter-unit link.

What Can Be Monitored

stack topology (ring/chain) state
stack unit membership table
stacking mode and mixed-mode status
persistent MAC address timer
per-unit configuration and row status

INT snStackingGlobalConfigState	1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.31.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Configure stack state for stacking feature on the global level. none: neutral, receive packets only enable: stacking is enable, send and receive packets disable: stacking is disable, No send and receive packets
MAC snStackingGlobalMacAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.31.1.2	MacAddress	read-write	Management MAC address of the stacking system. This is available to change management MAC address of stack for administrative purpose. It is strongly recommended that this command should be used with upmost caution to prevent duplicate MAC address and must reboot the system to take an effect. It is mutually exclusive from enabling the persistent MAC timer. Enter zero MAC address to remove the configured MAC address
INT snStackingGlobalPersistentMacTimerState	1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.31.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Configure persistent MAC timer state for stacking feature on the global level. enable: the persistent MAC timer is active and configured. The persistent MAC timer is set as the default timer (60 minutes) disable: deactivate the persistent MAC timer.

This timer is triggered when new active unit is elected. When timer expires, new active unit will change stacking MAC to its own base MAC address and advertise its own base MAC address to management VLAN to update the ARP table of peers. If you decide to use new active unit's MAC address, one must enter this timer again to reactivate the persistent MAC. 0 - keep it forever. 5 to 6000 - valid value range. 60 - default value.
