Description: Manages Novell Ethernet hub port statistics, link status, and collision counters.

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 Novell-Hub-Ethernet-MIB?

Novell-Hub-Ethernet-MIB is a legacy Novell enterprise MIB for managing Ethernet hub devices, covering per-port statistics, link status, and collision counters on Novell-branded or Novell-managed Ethernet hubs from the era of shared-media LAN hardware. As a hub (rather than switch) MIB, its data centers on physical-layer health: port up/down link state and Ethernet collision counts, which together indicate whether a segment is experiencing excessive contention or cabling faults. Its primary monitoring value is hardware status of the hub's individual ports rather than any software or protocol-layer feature. Given its era and naming, it likely parallels or extends concepts from the standard RFC1516/Hub MIB and Ethernet-like interface MIBs (IF-MIB, EtherLike-MIB) rather than defining an entirely novel object model. It would have been deployed in legacy Novell NetWare-era shared Ethernet hub environments, now largely obsolete but still occasionally found in archival or legacy equipment inventories. Engineers can download the Novell-Hub-Ethernet-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Novell-Hub-Ethernet-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

  • Novell-managed Ethernet hub (legacy shared-media hardware)

Monitoring Examples

No module description or sample objects were provided for this MIB, so specific object names cannot be cited; based on its name and short description, a realistic scenario would involve polling per-port link-status and collision-counter objects to detect a port with abnormally high collisions, indicating a cabling or duplex-mismatch problem on that hub segment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port link status
  • collision counters
  • port statistics
