Adding hardware monitor SNMP features on Layer 2 smart managed switches.

Zyxel_Judy

In response to the requirements raised by user @FlamencoAssassin , we propose integrating SNMP-based hardware monitoring capabilities into our Layer 2 smart managed switches.

This suggestion originated from the discussion found here: SNMP hardware monitoring of XS1930-12HP and XGS1930-28HP switches — Zyxel Community

If anyone likes this idea, please feel free to leave a comment or click vote.

Thank you @Zyxel_Judy for bringing this proposal to the community. I hope other customers vote for this feature to be added.

In support of this, I can offer a real scenario where this could help users and customers. Please see the thread I've linked below.

In this case, if I hadn't been near the switch when the issue happened, I wouldn't have heard the fans were running at high speed and therefore wouldn't have logged in to check the temperatures and other health states. If I was able to monitor the fans and temperatures via SNMP, this data would be logged on my NMS and I could have been alerted and have graphs of the history.

Hi users,

The hardware monitoring OIDs for the XS1930-12HP and XGS1930-28HP will be released at the end of Q3, 2024.

Please follow the Switch News & Releases o stay updated on the latest enhancements and new features.

Hi @Zyxel_Judy

Thank you for the release of the new XS1930-12HP firmware. I've just installed it and I can now see hardware monitor values and transceiver power which is great.

I'm looking forward to the XGS1930-28HP release.

However, I was expecting to see per port PoE values as stated in the thread linked below. But there's been no change to the PoE section, it still shows just the total budget. Is this still a feature planned for a future firmware release?

I'm using LibreNMS for monitoring and have not attempted to use MibBrowser to see if the data is there yet.

Hi @FlamencoAssassin ,

You can check the per-port PoE values on the XS1930-12HP using the OID as .1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.59.2.1.1.1

The MIB for hardware monitoring on the XGS1930-28HP is expected to be released around October. Please refer to the Switch Release Notes for updates on new features and enhancements.

Thanks @Zyxel_Judy

I'll look into adding that into LibreNMS.
