PRVT-MAC-SECURITY-MIB

Description: Manages BATM Advanced Communication MAC address security configuration including static/dynamic MAC limits and violation actions.

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.

PRVT-MAC-SECURITY-MIB is a vendor-specific enterprise MIB from BATM Advanced Communication for configuring port-level MAC address security, including learned-address limits, static/dynamic handling, and violation actions, on its Carrier Ethernet switches. It exposes named learning profiles with maximum and watermark MAC-count thresholds and configured violation actions, plus a per-interface table binding profiles to ports. Its monitoring relevance is primarily security/operational-status oriented: watching a port's learned MAC count approach its configured watermark, or seeing a violation action trigger, signals a possible MAC-flooding attack or misbehaving device on that port. It shares the BATM PRVT enterprise MIB tree with related modules such as PRVT-ALARM-MIB, where such violations are likely surfaced as alarms. It is typically deployed on BATM Carrier Ethernet access switches, where PRVT-MAC-SECURITY-MIB SNMP monitoring helps guard against MAC-flooding and address-table exhaustion attacks.

prvtMacSecLrnProfTable/prvtMacSecLrnProfEntry rows define named profiles (prvtMacSecLrnProfName) with prvtMacSecLrnProfMaxMacCount and prvtMacSecLrnProfWatermarkCount thresholds and a configured prvtMacSecLrnProfAction/prvtMacSecLrnProfWatermarkAction, while prvtMacSecIfTable/prvtMacSecIfEntry bind these profiles to specific interfaces. An admin would poll a port's learned MAC count against prvtMacSecLrnProfWatermarkCount to catch it approaching its learning limit before prvtMacSecLrnProfAction (e.g. shutdown or drop) is enforced and legitimate traffic is disrupted.
