reportsHardwareTemperature

Module: PRVT-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::reportsHardwareTemperature

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.3.2.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The internal temperature of the unit in degrees Celsius.

What is reportsHardwareTemperature?

This reports the switch's internal temperature, in the scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit) selected by reportsHardwareTemperatureScale, giving admins a live read on chassis thermal health.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.3.2.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::reportsHardwareTemperature

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.3.2.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::reportsHardwareTemperature.1

Start monitoring BATM/Telco Systems carrier Ethernet switches with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::reportsHardwareTemperature OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BATM/Telco Systems carrier Ethernet switches from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a BATM/Telco Systems carrier Ethernet switch as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type reportsHardwareTemperature into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the switch's internal hardware temperature, in degrees Celsius. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the temperature exceeds 65°C, a common early-warning level before thermal issues affect switch reliability. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
