Description: Manages TP-Link switch cluster control operations including member addition, removal, and status.

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-CLUSTERMANAGE-MIB?

This is a TP-Link private MIB for managing switch clustering, a feature that lets one commander switch manage a group of member switches as a single logical unit for simplified administration. No module description or sample objects were available, but based on its short description it would expose objects for adding/removing cluster members and reporting each member's cluster status. It supports monitoring of the software/management-plane status of the switch fleet, specifically whether member switches are currently joined to and reachable within the cluster, which is useful for detecting a member that has dropped out of cluster management reachability. No dependency on other MIBs is evident from the available (empty) data. It is typically deployed on TP-Link managed switches in small-to-mid-size networks using switch clustering for centralized single-IP management of multiple switches. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the TPLINK-CLUSTERMANAGE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TPLINK-CLUSTERMANAGE-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 Ethernet switches (cluster commander/member)

Monitoring Examples

No specific object names were available in the sampled data, so a concrete OID-level example cannot be honestly constructed; based on the module's stated purpose, an admin would generally expect to poll a cluster-member table to confirm each member switch's join/reachability status. Direct inspection of the raw MIB source would be needed to identify the actual objects for precise monitoring.

What Can Be Monitored

cluster member join/reachability status (exact objects not confirmed)

Imported Objects

From SNMPv2-SMI

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using clusterRole OID:

Select a TP-Link managed Ethernet switches, cluster commander/member (member join/reachability status) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type clusterRole into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the current role of the switch. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'its expected role', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
INT clusterRoleEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.11863.6.33.1.1.3.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object indicates the current role of the switch. You can not set the role to commander with this object. You can set the role to candidate when the role is commander. You can set the role to individual when the role is candidate or member. You can set the role to candidate when the role is individual.
