What Is SWITCH-PORTSTATISTIC-MIB?

SWITCH-PORTSTATISTIC-MIB is a vendor MIB from Raisecom that provides per-port traffic statistics for its switches, tracking counters such as transmitted/received bytes, frames, and error counts on each switch port. It exposes performance-counter data rather than configuration or hardware-inventory data, giving a real-time and cumulative view of link utilization and error rates per interface. Its main monitoring value is operational: it lets an administrator watch for rising error/discard counters that indicate a failing port, cabling problem, or duplex mismatch, complementing rather than replacing standard interface uptime/status checks. It naturally overlaps with and is typically used alongside standard IF-MIB/RMON counters for the same physical ports. It is deployed on Raisecom Ethernet switches used in carrier-access and enterprise network deployments to give finer per-port traffic visibility than base MIB-II counters. Engineers can download the SWITCH-PORTSTATISTIC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SWITCH-PORTSTATISTIC-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

  • per-port transmitted/received bytes
  • per-port transmitted/received frames
  • per-port error/discard counters
  • per-port utilization trend

Supported Devices

  • Raisecom Ethernet switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would periodically poll the per-port statistics table, indexed by port number, to compare current byte/frame counts against the prior poll interval, computing throughput and spotting a port whose error-frame counter is climbing abnormally fast, a sign of a bad cable or negotiation mismatch. Because raw sample object names weren't available for this MIB, in practice the table is walked alongside ifTable/ifXTable so a spike in this MIB's frame-error counter can be pinned to the correct physical interface.
