Description: Manages online diagnostic tests and results for the Cisco MGX/BASIS switch shelf hardware.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is BASIS-ONLINE-DIAG-MIB?
BASIS-ONLINE-DIAG-MIB is a Cisco vendor MIB (from the BASIS/StrataCom lineage acquired into Cisco's MGX product line) for managing online diagnostic self-tests on Cisco MGX 8220/8230/8250 series WAN switching shelf hardware. It exposes diagnostic test identity, type, and result data covering the hardware self-test subsystem of the switch shelf. Its monitoring value is directly hardware-focused: diagType and diagTestId identify which online diagnostic test is being run on shelf hardware, while diagResult reports pass/fail status, letting operators detect a failing card or hardware fault without taking the shelf fully offline. It does not show an explicit dependency on other MIBs in the available data, appearing to be a self-contained diagnostics module specific to the MGX platform family. It is typically deployed in carrier ATM/Frame Relay WAN switching environments running Cisco MGX 8220/8230/8250 shelves where continuous non-disruptive hardware diagnostics are important for service uptime. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the BASIS-ONLINE-DIAG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BASIS-ONLINE-DIAG-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Cisco MGX 8220/8230/8250 WAN switching shelf
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll diagTestId and diagType to identify which online diagnostic is executing against a shelf card, then check diagResult to see whether that hardware self-test passed or failed. A failing diagResult for a repeated test would signal a degrading card in the MGX82xx shelf that needs replacement before it causes a service-affecting outage. Because this MIB centers on onlineDiagnostics rather than a full performance-counter set, it functions primarily as a pass/fail hardware health check rather than a continuous metrics feed.
What Can Be Monitored
- diagnostic test type
- diagnostic test identifier
- diagnostic test result (pass/fail)
