List of Useful SNMP OIDs for Switch Monitoring

In the following table, we tried to collect the most common OID switches from different manufacturers (Cisco, Dlink, Huawei, HP, etc.) that you may want to monitor (traffic, processor temperature, processor load, fan speed, voltage, load, state of links and pairs, free memory, etc.).

This is the reference add-on for our articles about

We recommend you the 10-Strike Network Monitor software for the OID variable monitoring via SNMP. Please read this article about how to configure the SNMP monitoring.

We have created a special video about the OID variable monitoring on managed switches using the program.

*D-Link Switches*
Cable diagnostics is available in DES-3526 and DES-3550 (and possibly in DES-3028 and DES-3052) Note: It is necessary to work with the pairs 1 and 2 in DES-3028 and DES-3200-28/A1/B1, and use the pairs 2 and 3 in DES-3200-28/C1. To enable the built-in cable tester, run the following command snmpset - v 2 c - c private 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.58.1.1.1.12.21 i 1 where snmpset is the utility from Net-SNMP 21 is the port number for diagnostics. Wait for several seconds till the test finishing after its start and check the result snmpget -v2c -c private 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.58.1.1.1.12.21 The result value should be different from 2.

Notes:

[1] Full OID should end with the interface's index number. You can get the list of ports (interfaces) on a switch using this command:

snmpwalk - v 1 - public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

and get their indexes:

snmpwalk -v1 -public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

where

snmpwalk - is a utility from Net - SNMP,

public - community string (SNMP access password),

192.168.1.1 - switch network address,

[2] Full OID address can include an index. For example, 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1005. You can get the exact OID using this command:

snmpwalk - v 1 - public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3

The utility will return the full OID for a variable. For example,

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1005 = Gauge32: 40

[3] The variable value should be multiplied by the power unit voltage and divided by 100. For example, if your power unit voltage is 12V, multiply the variable's result value by 0.12.

[4] Full OID address should include an index. For example, 1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.6.1.1.1.1.6. 43 . You can get the index using this command:

snmpwalk - v 2 c - c public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2 (OID specified next to the primary OID in the table)

The utility will return the list elements as a result. You will need to pick up the necessary list element and its OID. For example,

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "HP 7506"
...
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.43 = STRING: "HP 384 Gbps Fabric A7500 Module JD194B"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.46 = STRING: "HP 48-Port GbE SFP A7500 Module JD211B"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.47 = STRING: "LSQM1GV48SC0"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.48 = STRING: "HP A7500 8 port 10G SFP+ Module JF290A"
...
