Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for the extended Cisco AAA server MIB.
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 CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance statement for CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-MIB, declaring which extended AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) server monitoring objects and groups a given Cisco device/software release actually implements. It contains no runtime data objects of its own; it is purely a compliance/capability declaration used by NMS tooling to determine feature support before polling the underlying AAA server extension objects (e.g., additional RADIUS/TACACS+ server statistics). Because it declares capabilities rather than data, it is not directly usable for monitoring hardware or software status; that role belongs entirely to the referenced CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-MIB. It is entirely dependent on CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-MIB (and transitively the base CISCO-AAA-SERVER-MIB), with no independent meaning outside that relationship. It is typically embedded in Cisco IOS/IOS-XE agent capability listings and consulted by NMS systems during MIB compliance checks rather than polled directly. Engineers can download the CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-CAPABILITY. 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 routers and switches running IOS/IOS-XE with AAA services
- vendor-specific (Cisco) conformance/capabilities module, not a device data source
Monitoring Examples
This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module with no data objects or tables — sample_objects is empty, and by design a capabilities statement enumerates supported object groups rather than exposing pollable instances. There is no honest monitoring scenario to construct beyond noting that NMS tools reference this module to confirm which CISCO-AAA-SERVER-EXT-MIB features a device supports before polling them.
