Description: Manages D-Link network load balancing configuration, session distribution, and virtual server pool status.
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 NLB-MIB?
NLB-MIB is a D-Link Corp. proprietary MIB managing Network Load Balancing (NLB) forwarding-table entries — the unicast/multicast MAC entries used by Microsoft NLB clustering to distribute traffic across cluster members. Its unicast-FDB table, keyed by MAC address, records egress ports and row status, and a multicast-FDB table records VLAN index, MAC address, egress ports, and row status. As a configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm the switch is correctly flooding NLB cluster traffic to all cluster-member ports. It is deployed on D-Link managed switches supporting Microsoft NLB clusters. Engineers can download the NLB-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NLB-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
- D-Link managed switches (Network Load Balancing support)
Monitoring Examples
An administrator checks swNlbUnicastFdbEgressPorts to confirm NLB cluster traffic is correctly flooded to all cluster-member ports on a D-Link switch.
What Can Be Monitored
- NLB unicast/multicast forwarding-table configuration
