STATICFDB-MIB

Description: Manages D-Link static forwarding database entries including MAC address, port, and VLAN bindings.

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.

STATICFDB-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from D-Link covering static forwarding database (FDB) entries on managed switches, i.e. manually configured MAC-address-to-port bindings. It exposes a table for static FDB entries associating a MAC address, port, and VLAN. Its monitoring value is configuration-status oriented rather than performance counters: verifying the swStaticFdbMgmt table matches the intended manual bindings confirms critical devices (servers, uplinks) remain pinned to the correct switch port and VLAN rather than drifting due to a misconfiguration or cabling change. It is a small companion module to D-Link's broader bridge/switching MIB set (working alongside standard BRIDGE-MIB dynamic FDB entries). It is deployed on D-Link managed switches in enterprise or SMB network environments. Engineers can download the STATICFDB-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

A network administrator would walk the static FDB management table (rooted at swStaticFdbMgmt) to confirm a critical server's MAC address is still statically bound to its expected port and VLAN, catching accidental deletion or a port renumbering after a switch reconfiguration. Comparing this static table against the dynamically learned bridge forwarding table would reveal whether a device has physically moved to a different port than its static entry specifies.

Static forwarding database MIB for managing permanent (static) MAC address entries in network switch forwarding tables, providing precise control over MAC-to-port mappings.
