Major Description
We would love for Observium to support transciever stats for the S series F10 switches, like the s4810 and s6000 who we use extensively. We opened a ticket with Dell and figured out how to have the switches report this info through SNMP. I see that Observium has the latest F10-S-Series mib and as far as I can tell, this mib covers these oid's.
Heres an example output of snmpwalk showing a few of the oids:
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.35 = INTEGER: -540
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.36 = INTEGER: -615
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.37 = INTEGER: 65535
...
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.43 = INTEGER: 65535
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.44 = INTEGER: -4000
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.45 = INTEGER: 65535
...
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.47 = INTEGER: 65535
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.48 = INTEGER: -1832
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.49 = INTEGER: 65535
...
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.57 = INTEGER: 1000000
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6.1.61 = INTEGER: 1000000
These numbers are dBm * 100, meaning -1832 means -18.32dBm. Here is corresponding s4810 CLI output:
TenGigabitEthernet 0/47 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is DellEth, address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Current address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Non-qualified pluggable media present, SFP+ type is 10GBASE-LR
Medium rate is unknown, Wavelength is 1510nm
SFP+ receive power reading is -18.3268dBm
Heres a few other examples from CLI:
c03-digi-osl-no#sh int te0/43
TenGigabitEthernet 0/43 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is DellEth, address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Current address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Non-qualified pluggable media present, SFP+ type is 10GBASE-LR
Medium rate is unknown, Wavelength is 1310nm
SFP+ receive power reading is -40.0000dBm
This is oid 44 from the list above. This interface is configured up, but currently disconnected.
c03-digi-osl-no#sh int te0/25
TenGigabitEthernet 0/25 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is DellEth, address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Current address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Pluggable media not present
This would be oid ending in 26 - It would appear 65535 and higher means the port is disabled/shut down in config as is the case with te0/25.
c03-digi-osl-no#sh int fo0/56
fortyGigE 0/56 is up, line protocol is up
Port is part of Port-channel 1
Hardware is DellEth, address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Current address is 00:01:e8:8b:f4:00
Non-qualified pluggable media present, QSFP type is 40GBASE-CR4
And it would seem that 100000 means (atleast for 40Gig ports) that we use twinax. In short it would seem high values like 65k+ indicates that it either is a copper connection or interface administratively disabled or similar.
Is it possible to implement support for this in a future release? Is any further information needed? Any other way we can assist?
