Description: Monitors Cisco AON (Application-Oriented Networking) blade module operational status.

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-AON-STATUS-MIB?

CISCO-AON-STATUS-MIB is a Cisco-specific MIB for Application-Oriented Networking (AON), a discontinued Cisco service/XML-processing blade module hosted in ISR routers and Catalyst switch chassis. It exposes node registration/activation state, boot and activation timestamps, message-processing metrics, and a table of deployed Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) with names and styles. It directly supports software status monitoring: caonNodeState reports whether the AON node is unregistered, registered, active, or inactive; caonBootTime and caonLastActivateTime track module uptime and activation history; and caonReceivedMessages plus caonPepCount give processing-load indicators for the running service. It complements Cisco's standard chassis/entity inventory MIBs, which identify the physical blade hosting the AON node, though this module itself focuses on the software service state. It is deployed on Cisco AON network modules installed in ISR routers or Catalyst switches for XML-aware, service-oriented message processing. Engineers can download the CISCO-AON-STATUS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-AON-STATUS-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 AON (Application-Oriented Networking) network module/blade in ISR router or Catalyst switch chassis

Monitoring Examples

Polling caonNodeState shows whether the AON blade has reached the 'active' state; if it remains 'inactive' well past caonLastActivateTime, that flags a startup or activation failure worth escalating. Walking caonPepTable/caonPepEntry by caonPepIndex lists each deployed Policy Enforcement Point's caonPepName and caonPepStyle, while caonReceivedMessages trending upward or flat indicates whether the node is actively processing traffic or has stalled.

What Can Be Monitored

  • AON node registration/activation state
  • node boot time and last activation time
  • messages received count
  • deployed PEP count and identity

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using caonReceivedMessages OID:

Select a Cisco AON (Application-Oriented Networking) module (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type caonReceivedMessages into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the aggregate count of messages received by the node. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in messages), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
