What Is XYLAN-HEALTH-MIB?

XYLAN-HEALTH-MIB is a private Xylan enterprise MIB dedicated to chassis environmental health monitoring on OmniSwitch devices, covering temperature, fan operation, and power supply state. As a health-focused module, its entire purpose is hardware status monitoring: it is expected to expose objects reporting current temperature readings against thresholds, fan operational/failure state, and power supply presence/status, letting an operator detect an overheating chassis or a failed fan or power module before it causes an outage. No specific sample objects were supplied for this module in the source data, so exact object names cannot be confirmed, but the functional scope is clearly hardware health as opposed to configuration or traffic statistics. It is Xylan-specific and does not depend on standard IETF environmental MIBs (such as the Entity/Physical MIBs), implementing its own object set instead. It would be deployed on Xylan (later Alcatel) OmniSwitch chassis-based switches where operations teams monitor environmental health to prevent hardware failure. Locating the correct XYLAN-HEALTH-MIB OID branch is the necessary first step for an NMS to begin polling chassis temperature, fan, and power supply status on these switches.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XYLAN-HEALTH-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

  • Xylan (Alcatel) OmniSwitch chassis-based switches (legacy environmental monitoring module)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module, so a concrete object-level scenario cannot be built from confirmed data; based on its stated purpose, an operator would expect to poll chassis temperature, fan status, and power supply status objects to catch an overheating condition or a failed fan/power supply before it causes a switch outage.

What Can Be Monitored

  • chassis temperature
  • fan operational status
  • power supply status
