OLD-DNOS-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB

Description: Manages box services including fan, temperature, and power supply status on Broadcom DNOS-based switch platforms.

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.

This is a Broadcom-authored private MIB for the 'Box Services' feature of the FASTPATH network operating system (DNOS), a switch OS/SDK historically used by multiple whitebox and OEM switch vendors. Per its module description it manages box-level environmental services -- fan status, temperature status, and power supply status -- for the switch chassis. This makes it directly a hardware health/environmental monitoring MIB: it is used to confirm fans are spinning, temperatures are within acceptable range, and power supplies are operational, which are core indicators of a switch's physical well-being. As a Broadcom FASTPATH/DNOS private MIB it depends on the vendor's DNOS switch software architecture rather than any IETF standard, and is typically layered alongside other FASTPATH private MIBs on the same platform. It is deployed on Broadcom DNOS/FASTPATH-based switch platforms sold by various OEM networking vendors, and an OLD-DNOS-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB download from the OEM vendor's MIB package lets an admin load it into a MIB browser.

No specific object names were available in the provided source, so exact table/object identifiers cannot be cited, but based on the module description an operator would poll fan status objects to confirm all chassis fans are running, temperature status objects to check the chassis is within thermal limits, and power supply status objects to confirm both PSUs (if redundant) are healthy. A fan reporting a failed status combined with rising temperature status readings would indicate a cooling failure risking thermal shutdown. Power supply status transitioning to a fault state would indicate a failed or unplugged PSU needing replacement.
