G6-RING-MIB

Description: MICROSENS G6 switch MIB for ring topology redundancy protocol configuration and ring status monitoring.

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.

G6-RING-MIB is a MICROSENS private MIB for the Generation 6 switch family that configures and monitors ring-topology network redundancy protocols (such as Media Redundancy Protocol, MRP) used for fast failover in industrial Ethernet ring networks. It exposes a configuration table identifying each ring's name, enable state, master/client role, ring port assignments (Port A/Port B), and a separate MRP-specific configuration table. Its monitoring value is centered on network redundancy/topology status, letting an admin confirm a ring is correctly configured with an active ring master and both designated ports participating, which is essential for detecting a broken or misconfigured redundant path before a real link failure causes an outage. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is indicated, though the module conceptually relates to standard MRP/ring redundancy protocols. It is deployed on MICROSENS G6-series switches in industrial Ethernet ring topologies requiring sub-second failover. Engineers can download the G6-RING-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An admin verifying ring redundancy health would poll configTable/configEntry via configEnableRing, configRingMaster, configPortA, and configPortB to confirm the ring is active with the expected switch acting as master and both ring ports correctly assigned. mrpConfigTable/mrpConfigEntry would be checked for MRP-specific parameters if a ring reconfiguration event seems slower than expected, which could reveal a misconfigured MRP timer or role.
