Bridge MIB not supported on Dell PowerConnect 6248

Hello,

When I try to use Switch Port Mapper on our Dell PowerConnect 6248 I get the error:

switchIP does not support the Bridge-MIB

which I have seen in many posts in the forum but with no real help in my case.

Based on SolarWinds support recommendation I created a view on the switch but that did not help.

Please help,

Chris

phantomf4 - (love those old birds BTW) - If it was not a view issue, there are a few things we can check:

There are a couple different bridge-mibs. The Engineer's Toolset SwitchPortMapper only checks the RFC1493-MIB:dot1dTpFdbTable, which your device might not support (you can use our MIB-Browser to find out.) For reference, the other bridge table is Q-BRIDGE-MIB:dot1qTpFdbTable. If your device only supports the second, I recommend you download our free Real-Time Dashboard Technical Preview, which contains a SwitchPortMapper gadget that supports both bridge-mibs.

HTH,

Greg

well, that Real-time Dashboard Technical Preview software download link looks expired in Q1 2009.

Also, by Solarwinds Mib-browser, I did not find the dot1qTpFdbTable, dot1dTpFdbTable these two MIBs in dell 6248 switch.

Maybe we should ask Dell if they are in it.
