What Is RADLAN-SMON-MIB?
RADLAN-SMON-MIB is a vendor-specific private MIB from RADLAN/Marvell implementing Switch Monitoring (SMON), which extends RMON-style traffic sampling to per-port and per-VLAN mirroring/copy functionality on the switch. It exposes objects controlling port-copy (mirroring) sessions, including whether the feature is supported (rlPortCopySupport), which mode a mirror session runs in (rlPortCopyMode, e.g. monitor-only vs. network), VLAN tagging behavior for copied traffic (rlPortCopyVlanTaggingTable/Entry), and whether copy sessions are currently enabled (rlPortCopySessionsEnabled). This is used for software/configuration status monitoring of the port-mirroring feature itself, confirming a diagnostic mirror session is active and configured with the intended VLAN tagging, rather than exposing hardware environmentals. It extends the standard RMON/SMON MIB concepts with vendor-specific port-copy semantics. It is typically deployed on Marvell/RADLAN-based managed switches when network engineers need to mirror traffic from a port or VLAN to an analyzer port for troubleshooting. Engineers can download the RADLAN-SMON-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RADLAN-SMON-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- port mirroring session enabled state
- port copy mode (monitor-only vs network)
- VLAN tagging of mirrored traffic
- port-copy feature support
Supported Devices
- Marvell (formerly RADLAN) managed Ethernet switches
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would check rlPortCopySessionsEnabled to confirm a mirroring session is currently active, and inspect rlPortCopyVlanTaggingTable (via rlPortCopyVlanTagging) to verify that copied traffic retains or strips VLAN tags as configured via rlPortCopyMode. This would reveal, for example, a mirror session that was configured but never enabled, explaining why an analyzer isn't receiving expected traffic.
OIDs
| OID symbolic | OID numeric | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rlSmon | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84 | This private MIB module defines SMON private MIBs. | ||
| INT rlPortCopyMibVersion | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.1 | INTEGER | read-only | MIB's version, the current version is 1. |
| INT rlPortCopySupport | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.2 | INTEGER | read-only | supported - The standard portCopy is supported. notSupported - the standard portCopy is not supported. only basic portCopy operation is supported. |
| rlPortCopyVlanTaggingTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.3 | not-accessible | A supplementing table for portCopyTable. For every portCopyDest a vlan-tagging option is available. | |
| rlPortCopyVlanTaggingEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.3.1 | not-accessible | Each entry specify how mirrored packets will transmit from the portCopyDest: Tagged or unTagged. The values in this entry will be valid only when the dot1dBasePort will be configured as a portCopyDest in the portCopyTable. | |
| T/F rlPortCopyVlanTagging | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.3.1.1 | TruthValue | read-write | TRUE - Mirrored packets will transmit from portCopyDest - Tagged FALSE - Mirrored packets will transmit from portCopyDest - unTagged |
| COP rlPortCopyMode | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.4 | CopyModeType | read-write | This scalar defines a mode of the copy destination port |
| T/F rlPortCopySessionsEnabled | 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.84.5 | TruthValue | read-write | This scalar enables globaly port monitoring sessions |
