What Is MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB?

The MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module from Microsemi (a semiconductor and networking equipment company, now part of Microchip) covering its Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) product line used in Power over Ethernet deployments. It is organized around PoE port power delivery, including per-port power budget, delivered wattage, and port operational/fault status. The MIB is squarely aimed at monitoring hardware health and operational status, letting administrators track whether individual PoE ports are supplying power correctly, detect overload or short-circuit fault conditions, and confirm power budget utilization across the PSE chassis. It likely parallels the conventions of the IETF POWER-ETHERNET-MIB (RFC 3621) for PSE/PD monitoring, though as a proprietary module it defines its own object identifiers rather than depending on that standard directly. It would typically be deployed on Microsemi PSE line cards or midspans, where MICROSEMI-PDSINE-MIB SNMP monitoring tracks power delivery to IP phones, wireless access points, and PoE-powered cameras in enterprise network closets.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MICROSEMI-PDSINE-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

  • Microsemi PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) line cards/midspans
  • PoE power injectors

Monitoring Examples

No module description or sample object names were supplied in the source data for this MIB, so no concrete PySMI-derived object names are available to ground a polling example. In general, a MIB of this type would expose a PSE port table (e.g., a pseTable/psePortEntry style structure) with per-port fields for delivered power, port status, and fault code, which an administrator would poll to detect a port that has tripped an overcurrent or short-circuit fault. This description is necessarily general rather than tied to real object names, since sample_objects was empty.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port PoE power delivery
  • PSE power budget utilization
  • port power fault status
  • overload/short-circuit conditions
  • port operational state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using portConsumptionPower OID:

Select a Microsemi PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) line card/midspan 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 portConsumptionPower 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. It reports a read-only value indicates the measured usage power expressed in Watts for a specific port. 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 Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reading rises well above what's normal for this port (in Watt), since a sustained increase often indicates a device drawing more current than expected. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
