What Is NMS-POE-MIB?
NMS-POE-MIB is a vendor MIB from NMS Communications that manages Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality on switch ports, covering power budget allocation, per-port power draw, and connected powered-device detection status. It exposes configuration data (power budgets, port power enable settings) as well as operational status data (per-port power allocation and detected device state). Its monitoring value is squarely in hardware health and power status: tracking whether the total PoE power budget is close to exhaustion, whether individual ports are correctly powering attached devices (like IP phones or APs), and detecting fault conditions such as overcurrent or failed detection. It likely aligns conceptually with the standard IETF POWER-ETHERNET-MIB (RFC 3621) object model, though no explicit reference is documented. It is deployed on NMS Communications PoE-capable access switches supporting devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or IP cameras. Engineers can download the NMS-POE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NMS-POE-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
- nms Co., Ltd. PoE switch (power budget/port power, vendor unidentified)
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll per-port power allocation and detection-status objects to confirm each PoE port is supplying power to its expected class of device, flagging a port that shows a detection fault or power-denied state, which could indicate a faulty cable, an incompatible device, or the switch's overall power budget being exceeded. No specific table names were disclosed in the sample data, so exact object identifiers cannot be confirmed here.
What Can Be Monitored
- per-port PoE power allocation
- power budget utilization
- powered-device detection status
- port power enable/disable state
