TPLINK-NDP-MIB

Description: Manages TP-Link switch Network Discovery Protocol topology discovery and neighbor table configuration.

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.

TPLINK-NDP-MIB is a TP-Link enterprise MIB for TP-Link's proprietary Network (Neighbor) Discovery Protocol, an L2 topology-discovery mechanism similar in spirit to CDP/LLDP that lets TP-Link switches learn about directly connected TP-Link neighbors. It exposes configuration objects (enabling/disabling NDP per port or globally) alongside a discovered-neighbor table capturing information such as neighbor device identity, model, and the local/remote ports linking them. Its monitoring value is primarily software/topology-oriented: administrators use the neighbor table to verify actual physical cabling matches the intended topology and to detect a neighbor that has gone silent (implying a link or device failure) rather than reading hardware sensors directly. It is a vendor-proprietary analog to standards like LLDP (IEEE 802.1AB) and CDP, and is typically used alongside a switch's interface (IF-MIB) and system MIBs. It is deployed in networks built entirely or mostly from TP-Link switches to auto-discover topology for network mapping and troubleshooting. Engineers can download the TPLINK-NDP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No specific object or table names were included in the provided source excerpt for this module, so concrete identifiers cannot be cited. Typically an NDP MIB of this kind would expose a neighbor table with peer device name/model and the local/remote port pairing; an administrator would poll it to confirm the physical topology map and would notice a previously-listed neighbor disappearing as a sign of a failed link or downed device. This kind of table is the basis for auto-generated topology diagrams in TP-Link's management software.
