Description: Marvell Power over Ethernet (PoE) MIB providing port power budget, delivery status, and policy management objects.

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 MARVELL-POE-MIB?

MARVELL-POE-MIB is a Marvell Semiconductor SNMP MIB for switches built on Marvell switching silicon, providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) port budget, power-delivery status, and policy/time-range management objects. It exposes a per-port PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) table (rlPethPsePortTable) with each port's output voltage, output current, output power, configured/operational power limits, delivery status, a human-readable status description, and an associated time-range name for scheduled power policies. It is explicitly used for hardware status monitoring of powered devices: rlPethPsePortStatus and rlPethPsePortStatusDescription reveal whether a port is actively delivering power, faulted, denied, or over-current, and rlPethPsePortOutputPower versus rlPethPsePortPowerLimit/rlPethPsePortOperPowerLimit shows how close a port is to exhausting its allocated power budget, critical for diagnosing failed VoIP phones, PoE cameras, or wireless access points. As a Marvell chipset-level MIB, it typically supplements the standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE MIB (POWER-ETHERNET-MIB, RFC 3621) with vendor-specific extensions like time-range-based power policy. It is deployed on enterprise access switches built around Marvell switching ASICs that provide PoE to endpoint devices, where MARVELL-POE-MIB SNMP monitoring gives administrators visibility into per-port power delivery.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MARVELL-POE-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

Monitoring Examples

A network administrator would poll rlPethPsePortOutputPower and rlPethPsePortPowerLimit for each entry in rlPethPsePortTable, keyed by rlPethPsePortGroupIndex and rlPethPsePortIndex, to see which switch port is nearing its power budget and might be denying power to a newly connected device. Checking rlPethPsePortStatus and rlPethPsePortStatusDescription reveals whether a port has entered a fault or overload state, while rlPethPsePortOutputVoltage and rlPethPsePortOutputCurrent give the underlying electrical readings behind that status, and rlPethPsePortTimeRangeName shows whether a scheduled power policy is currently active on that port.

What Can Be Monitored

per-port PoE power delivery status
per-port output power/voltage/current
power limit vs. configured/operational limit

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rlPethPsePortOutputVoltage OID:

Select an Ethernet switch with Marvell switching silicon and PoE port 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 rlPethPsePortOutputVoltage 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 variable indicates on the output voltage level in milli volts from rlPethPsePortIndex. 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 reading drifts outside the range expected for healthy operation, since an unexpected voltage swing often points to a power-supply or wiring issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
