Description: Manages Xswitch switching fabric port configuration, VLAN assignment, and frame forwarding counters.

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 XSWITCH-MIB?

XSWITCH-MIB is a private MIB (built on GEN-MIB) reporting chassis agent redundancy and RMON/SMON-style traffic monitoring on a modular switch platform. Its objects cover the main and redundant agent's chassis position and the redundant agent's activity status, the agent's management VLAN, and a monitor table (per switch ID) recording dropped events, octets, packets, good broadcast/multicast/total packet and octet counts, bad packet/octet counts, SMON capability, MIB-counter mode, monitored VLAN list, and timestamps, alongside a companion priority-based monitor table. As a hardware/performance-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which agent is currently active in a redundant-controller chassis and watch traffic-monitoring counters. It is deployed on this vendor's modular switch platform with redundant management agents. Engineers can download the XSWITCH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XSWITCH-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

  • Modular switch platform (redundant management agents)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks scGenChRedunAgActivityStatus to confirm which controller is currently active in a redundant modular switch chassis before performing maintenance on the standby unit.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active/redundant agent status
  • traffic-monitoring counters
