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.

What Is SW-LAYER2-PORT-MANAGEMENT-MIB?

SW-LAYER2-PORT-MANAGEMENT-MIB is a D-Link/Marconi proprietary MIB, registered under the marconi enterprise OID's ES2000 'Golf' product tree, for Layer 2 switch port management on early D-Link ES2000-series switches. Its swL2PortInfoTable reports per-port identity and link data (connector type, description, swL2PortInfoLinkStatus, swL2PortInfoNwayStatus for negotiated speed/duplex), swL2PortCtrlTable exposes extensive per-port configuration — admin enable state, link-alarm trap enable, N-way auto-negotiation mode, 802.3x flow control, half-duplex backpressure, port locking, priority queueing, spanning-tree participation, head-of-line blocking protection, and broadcast-storm rising/falling actions — and swL2PortStTable provides a full statistics set per port (byte/frame counters, CRC errors, oversize/undersize frames, fragments, jabber, collisions/late collisions, and a frame-size histogram). Four traps (swEventPortPartition, swEventlinkChangeEvent, swEventBcastRisingStorm, swEventBcastFallingStorm) notify on port partitioning from excessive collisions, link state changes, and broadcast storm threshold crossings. Monitoring this MIB is useful for diagnosing port-level Layer 2 health — collision storms, CRC errors, or broadcast floods that these switches can be configured to block automatically. It depends on RFC1155-SMI/RFC-1212 SMIv1 conventions and is deployed on legacy D-Link/Marconi ES2000 Layer 2 switches; engineers still running this hardware would reference the SW-LAYER2-PORT-MANAGEMENT-MIB MIB to instrument per-port control and statistics.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SW-LAYER2-PORT-MANAGEMENT-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.

Supported Devices

  • D-Link / Marconi ES2000-series Layer 2 switches

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls swL2PortStCRCError and swL2PortStCollision for a given port to check physical-layer health, and watches for a swEventBcastRisingStorm trap; a rising swL2PortStCollision count together with the port entering blocking mode (swL2PortCtrlBcastRisingAct) would indicate a broadcast storm or faulty NIC on that segment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port link status and negotiated speed/duplex
  • per-port admin, flow-control, and STP configuration state
  • broadcast-storm rising/falling action configuration
  • byte/frame Rx/Tx counters per port
  • CRC error, collision, and late-collision counters
  • broadcast/multicast frame and frame-size histogram counters
