Description: NETGEAR-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB module

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 NETGEAR-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB?

NETGEAR-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB is a Netgear proprietary MIB (built on NETGEAR-REF-MIB) managing feature-unlock keying. Its objects cover enable-key/disable-key actions and a keying table (index, feature name, status). As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which licensed features have been unlocked via a keying code on a Netgear switch. It is deployed on Netgear switching equipment (feature keying). Engineers can download the NETGEAR-KEYING-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-KEYING-PRIVATE-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

  • Netgear switching equipment (feature keying)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks agentFeatureKeyingStatus to confirm whether a licensed feature was successfully unlocked via a keying code on a Netgear switch.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentFeatureKeyingStatus OID:

Select a Netgear switching equipment (feature-unlock keying) 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 agentFeatureKeyingStatus 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. Returns a value of (1) if the feature is enabled for management, (2) if disabled. 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 'enable', 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.
