Description: PROFIBUS/PROFINET extension to LLDP, defined by PROFIBUS International, for PROFINET-specific TLV discovery within industrial networks.

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 LLDP-EXT-PNO-MIB?

LLDP-EXT-PNO-MIB is a PROFIBUS/PROFINET LLDP extension MIB, defined by PROFIBUS International (PNO), that adds PROFINET-specific organizationally-defined TLVs to standard LLDP discovery for industrial automation networks. It exposes configuration objects controlling which PROFINET TLVs (SPD, port status, alias, MRP) are transmitted per port, and local data objects holding discovered PROFINET-specific values such as line propagation delay and port send/receive delay. It is used to monitor the software/protocol status of PROFINET neighbor discovery and network delay characteristics, which in industrial real-time Ethernet networks is critical for verifying deterministic timing and ring redundancy (MRP) configuration between connected devices. It explicitly depends on and extends the base IEEE 802.1AB LLDP-MIB framework, following the same organizationally-defined-extension pattern as other LLDP-EXT modules. It is typically deployed on industrial Ethernet switches and PROFINET field devices in factory automation networks to verify topology discovery and network timing, with administrators keeping the LLDP-EXT-PNO-MIB reference on hand when validating these PROFINET-specific TLVs.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LLDP-EXT-PNO-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

  • vendor-neutral, PROFIBUS International standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • industrial Ethernet switches
  • PROFINET field devices

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll lldpXPnoConfigTable (via lldpXPnoConfigEntry) to check lldpXPnoConfigMrpTxEnable and lldpXPnoConfigPortStatusTxEnable, confirming whether Media Redundancy Protocol and port status TLVs are being advertised on a given port. lldpXPnoLocTable/lldpXPnoLocEntry would then be checked for lldpXPnoLocLPDValue (line propagation delay) and lldpXPnoLocPortTxDValue/lldpXPnoLocPortRxDValue, revealing an abnormal cable delay or asymmetric port delay that could disrupt PROFINET's deterministic real-time communication, while lldpXPnoLocPortStatusRT2 flags PROFINET real-time class 2 port status issues.

What Can Be Monitored

  • PROFINET TLV transmit enable status per port
  • line propagation delay
  • port transmit/receive delay
  • PROFINET real-time class 2 port status
  • MRP TLV advertisement status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using lldpXPnoLocPortStatusRT2 OID:

Select a device implementing LLDP-EXT-PNO-MIB as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type lldpXPnoLocPortStatusRT2 into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. This value represents the status of the corresponding port of the local system according to RT class 2. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'running', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
