Description: Configures Virtual Port Channel (VPC/LAG) bonding, member ports, and aggregation status on Netgear switches.

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-VPC-MIB?

NETGEAR-VPC-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB for Netgear switches that models Virtual Port Channel (VPC), a link-aggregation/multi-chassis LAG technology used to bond ports across two switches for redundancy. It exposes configuration data for VPC groups along with operational status for peer keepalive links and peer VPC links. Administrators use it to monitor the software and link status of the VPC feature itself, such as whether the peer keepalive heartbeat is up and whether the peer link carrying inter-switch traffic is healthy, both of which are critical to preventing a split-brain condition. It has no apparent dependency on external standard MIBs beyond typical Netgear enterprise conventions. It is deployed in switch stacks or redundant switch pairs where Netgear's VPC feature is used to provide loop-free, redundant uplinks to downstream devices. Engineers can download the NETGEAR-VPC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-VPC-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 switch stack (VPC pair)

Monitoring Examples

An admin polling agentVpcPeerKeepAliveStatsGroup would check peer keepalive counters to confirm the two VPC peer switches are still exchanging heartbeat messages; a drop to zero or an error increment would indicate the keepalive link is down, risking a split-brain scenario. agentVpcPeerLinkStatsGroup exposes traffic and status statistics on the dedicated peer link, letting the admin verify the inter-switch trunk is passing traffic, while agentVpcStatusGroup reports overall VPC operational state and agentVpcConfigGroup reflects the configured VPC parameters for comparison against expected values.

What Can Be Monitored

VPC configuration state
peer keepalive link status
peer link traffic/status
overall VPC operational status

This mac-address is used in the LACP PDUs and STP BPDUs that are sent out on VPC member ports. For the VPC domain to use the manually configured VPC MAC address, it should be manually configured on both the VPC peers and should be the same. If VPC is configured on only one of the VPC peers or is configured different on VPC peers, auto-generated MAC address is used. The specified MAC address should be a unicast MAC address in format and should not be equal to the MAC address of either primary VPC or secondary VPC device. The manually configured VPC MAC address is used instead of auto-generated VPC MAC address only if the VPC feature is re-enabled after configuring the VPC MAC address.

WAIT: The VPC port-channel 'waits' for the VPC functionality to be enabled on a port-channel of the peer switch. ERROR: After VPC is enabled on a port-channel of both peer switches, the DOT3AD component checks to see if all entry criteria are met for the port-channel to be operational. ACTIVE: If the entry criteria are satisfied, then the VPC interface is set to ACTIVE and is operationally enabled. Traffic is now allowed to flow through the VPC member ports. INACTIVE: If links connected to the VPC member ports are down, then the VPC interface is set to INACTIVE on the switch. The VPC will remain ACTIVE on the peer switch.
