Sorry Victor. It is not Dell's fault, it is Solarwinds. Solarwinds tools set can not recognize new MIB in Dell 6248. I tried another tool, Managed Switch Port Mapping Tool. it works like a charm.

Thanks. Finally we solved this issue.

By upgrading to the 3.0 firmware you already have the associated oids in the switch. You will now need to import the latest MIBs into the Solarwinds browser to access any changes to the new switch firmware from that browser. If that doesn't work Solarwinds may need to update the port-mapping script.

we upgraded the firmware to 3.0. and we can see all dot1qTpFdbPort and dot1qTpFdbStatus entries by Solarewinds Mibs Browser tool. But when we use Port Mapping tool , we still get the same error message "Does not support the Bridge-MIB"

I noticed there are MIBs package in the lates firewware 3 zip file. Do we need to put the MIBs package into the switch?

Thanks

The 6248 does support the Q-BRIDGE-MIB:dot1qTpFdbTable. I can see all of the dot1qTpFdbPort and dot1qTpFdbStatus entries under the dot1qTpFdbTable for my 6248 running 3.0 firmware. Make sure you have this latest firmware that is available at support.dell.com under "Drivers and Downloads

Table OID is .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2

Port OID is .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2

Status OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.3

Hope this helps! Victor

Hi ,

I am using Solarwinds port mapper tool on Dell PowerConnect 6248. But we got some error

Switch does't support the Bridge-MIB.

It works fine on 5xxx series.

I am just wondering if in latest firmware this MIB will be included.

According to Solarwinds, this function needsRFC1493-MIB:dot1dTpFdbTable or Q-BRIDGE-MIB:dot1qTpFdbTable (http://thwack.com/forums/p/13482/55142.aspx).

Thanks

John
