Description: Manages switch port mirroring and sniffer session configuration for traffic capture and analysis.
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-SNIFF-MIB?
SW-SNIFF-MIB is a legacy proprietary MIB (enterprise OID 326) implementing Port Sniffing (port mirroring), which mirrors traffic from a source port to a target monitor port without needing to physically rewire the LAN. Its control table, keyed by index, records the source port, target port, and mirroring state. As a configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm which source port is being mirrored to which monitor port before attaching a packet-capture tool. It is deployed on legacy switching equipment implementing Port Sniffing. Engineers can download the SW-SNIFF-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SW-SNIFF-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 ES2000 'Golf' series managed switch (Marconi enterprise OID branding)
Monitoring Examples
An administrator checks swSniffSourcePort and swSniffTargetPort to confirm the correct port is being mirrored before attaching a packet analyzer to the monitor port.
What Can Be Monitored
- port-mirroring source/target configuration and state
