What Is NETONIX-SWITCH-MIB?

NETONIX-SWITCH-MIB is a Netonix vendor MIB for monitoring hardware health on Netonix wireless-ISP-oriented managed switches, registered under the enterprises.46242 subtree. It exposes scalar objects for firmware version (firmwareVersion), total switch power consumption (totalPowerConsumption), DC-DC converter input current (dcdcInputCurrent) and efficiency (dcdcEfficiency), plus tables for per-fan speed (fanTable/fanSpeed), per-sensor temperature (tempTable, with description and reading), per-sensor voltage (voltageTable, using a 2-decimal-place textual convention), and per-port PoE status strings (poeStatusTable). This is useful for monitoring the physical health of a Netonix switch — fan operation, thermal conditions, power-rail voltages, overall power draw, and per-port PoE delivery — which matters for switches deployed outdoors or in wireless ISP tower/rooftop enclosures where thermal and power stress is common. It is deployed on Netonix switch hardware and its objects are grouped into a single conformance group (netonixSwitchGroup) for SNMPv2 compliance. Engineers monitoring WISP infrastructure can reference the NETONIX-SWITCH-MIB MIB when building alerting for these switches.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETONIX-SWITCH-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

Netonix managed switches (WISP-oriented)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls the tempTable and voltageTable entries for a Netonix switch deployed on a tower to confirm temperature and voltage sensors are within expected ranges, then checks poeStatus for a specific port; a voltage reading drifting outside its normal range alongside an unexpected PoE status string on a powered device's port would flag an impending power-supply or PoE-delivery failure.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dcdcEfficiency OID:

Select a Netonix managed switch (WISP-oriented) 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 dcdcEfficiency into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports dCDC power supply efficiency, percentage. 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 Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
