PRVT-PORT-SECURITY-MIB

Description: Manages BATM Advanced Communication port security configuration including MAC learning limits, sticky MAC, and violation responses.

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-PORT-SECURITY-MIB is a BATM Advanced Communication proprietary MIB for port security, a switch access-control technology area that restricts which MAC addresses may communicate on a given port. It exposes configuration data for MAC address learning limits, sticky MAC address behavior, and the violation response action taken when an unauthorized MAC is seen. Its monitoring value is security/access-control state rather than physical hardware health -- an operator uses it to verify port security policy is correctly applied and to be alerted, via its notifications group, when a violation (e.g. MAC limit exceeded or unauthorized device) occurs on a port. It is a vendor-specific extension layered on top of standard bridge/port MIB concepts (interface indexing) common across switch MIBs. It is deployed on BATM Advanced Communication managed switches in environments requiring strict endpoint access control, such as carrier access or campus edge networks, and administrators can download the PRVT-PORT-SECURITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would check the port security configuration objects under prvtPortSECObjects to confirm MAC learning limits and violation-response mode are set as intended for a given port, and would subscribe to prvtPortSECNotifications to be alerted in real time when a port exceeds its configured MAC limit or sees an unauthorized address. A spike in violation notifications on a single port would indicate a rogue device connection attempt or a misconfigured downstream hub/switch. Conformance objects under prvtPortSECConformance/prvtPortSECMIBGroups would be used by an NMS to confirm which port security capabilities the device supports.
