Description: Marvell Computer Communications sFlow MIB defining packet sampling configuration and statistics for network traffic 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.

What Is MARVELL-SFLOW-MIB?

MARVELL-SFLOW-MIB is a Marvell Computer Communications proprietary MIB providing sFlow packet-sampling configuration and statistics for switches built on Marvell switching silicon, complementing the industry-standard sFlow protocol used for network traffic visibility. Its data centers on configuration of sampling rate/polling interval per port and the resulting traffic statistics gathered via sampled packet export to an sFlow collector. It is used less for hardware fault monitoring and more for software-level traffic monitoring: confirming that sFlow sampling is correctly configured and actively exporting flow data, which is itself a proxy for the switch's forwarding-plane health and load. It is a vendor extension that operates alongside the vendor-neutral sFlow protocol conventions (as defined by sFlow.org) and the standard IF-MIB for interface identification. It is deployed on enterprise and data-center switches built on Marvell chipsets where network operators need traffic visibility for capacity planning and anomaly detection. Engineers can download the MARVELL-SFLOW-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Ethernet switch built on Marvell switching silicon

Monitoring Examples

No detailed sample objects were provided for this module, so specific table/object names cannot be cited; based on the module description, a real deployment would poll per-interface sFlow sampling rate and receiver/collector configuration to confirm sampled flow export is active and correctly targeted, alongside sample-count statistics to gauge current traffic volume, but this cannot be grounded in actual object names here.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rlsFlowStatisticsSampledPackets OID:

Select an Ethernet switch built on Marvell switching silicon (sFlow sampling) 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 rlsFlowStatisticsSampledPackets 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. Counts the number of packets sampled by sFlow per interface. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
