Description: Manages TP-Link switch ARP detection to identify and block invalid ARP packets on access ports.
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 TPLINK-ARP-DETECTION-MIB?
TPLINK-ARP-DETECTION-MIB is a private TP-Link enterprise MIB that manages ARP detection (also known as ARP defense/inspection) functionality on TP-Link managed switches, a Layer 2 security feature used to identify and block invalid or spoofed ARP packets on untrusted access ports. It primarily exposes configuration-oriented data: per-port ARP detection enable/disable state and trust status, rather than performance counters. From a monitoring standpoint it is a software/security-feature status MIB -- an operator uses it to confirm which ports have ARP detection actively enforced and to detect configuration drift that could leave a port exposed to ARP spoofing attacks, rather than to check hardware health like temperature or power. It is a vendor-specific module with no stated dependency on other MIBs beyond standard interface indexing conventions common across SNMP-managed switches. It is typically deployed on TP-Link's managed/smart Ethernet switch line in access-layer network segments where ARP spoofing defense is a security requirement, making TPLINK-ARP-DETECTION-MIB SNMP monitoring a routine part of access-layer security audits.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TPLINK-ARP-DETECTION-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
- TP-Link managed/smart Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
No sample object names were provided for this module, but consistent with TP-Link's naming conventions and its stated purpose, an admin would expect to poll a per-port table (something like an ARP detection port-status table) to confirm ARP detection is enabled and which ports are marked trusted versus untrusted, flagging any access port that has been left undefended against ARP spoofing.
What Can Be Monitored
- ARP detection enable state per port
- trusted vs untrusted port status
- invalid ARP packet blocking status
