Description: Manages ATM interface parameters and per-interface statistics on Cisco ATM devices.

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-ATM-IF-MIB?

CISCO-ATM-IF-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB that manages ATM interface-level configuration and statistics on Cisco ATM devices, covering interface type, side (network/user), UNI type, and counts of virtual paths/circuits. It exposes per-interface objects for configured PVPs/PVCs, active SVPs/SVCs, and total connection counts, along with global ILMI access filtering and notification enablement. Its monitoring focus is on interface-level operational status: operators track active versus configured virtual circuit counts to gauge interface utilization and detect connection setup failures or unexpected drops in active SVCs/SVPs. It functions as a Cisco enterprise complement to the standard ATM-MIB, adding Cisco-specific interface attributes. It is deployed on Cisco ATM switches and routers providing ATM trunking or access in legacy ATM/Frame Relay interworking networks. Engineers can download the CISCO-ATM-IF-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-ATM-IF-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 ATM switch/router

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll ciscoAtmIfPVCs and ciscoAtmIfActiveSVCs from ciscoAtmIfTable to compare configured permanent circuits against currently active switched circuits, and check ciscoAtmIfTotalConnections for overall interface load; a sudden drop in ciscoAtmIfActiveSVCs while ciscoAtmIfNotifsEnabled traps fire would indicate SVC setup failures or a signaling problem on that ATM interface.

What Can Be Monitored

ATM interface type/side/UNI type
configured PVPs/PVCs

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ciscoAtmIfXmitCells OID:

Select a Cisco ATM switch/router 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 ciscoAtmIfXmitCells into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of cells transmitted of this interface, including p2p and p2mp cells. 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, 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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
G32 ciscoAtmIfActiveSVCs	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.7	Gauge32	read-only	The number of active switched virtual channels at this interface.
G32 ciscoAtmIfActiveSVPs	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.6	Gauge32	read-only	The number of active switched virtual paths at this interface.
OCT ciscoAtmIfAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.24	OCTET STRING	read-write	The ATM address of this interface, which can be either nsap, esi or e164. For the switch, the nsap/esi address can only exist on the cpu port.
INT ciscoAtmIfAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.23	INTEGER	read-write	An indication of the type of the ATM addresses on this interface. To configure a new atm address, set ciscoAtmIfAddress to the address, then set this object to ether nsap(1), or esi(2), or e164(3), depending on the type of address of ciscoAtmIfAddress. To delete the address, set this object to null(4). Adding nsap address type to this interface has the effect of canceling the existing esi address, if there is one. Similarly, adding the esi address on this interface also has the effect of removing the existing nsap address. The value of ciscoAtmIfAddress has no effect when this object is set to null(4). For the switch, the nsap/esi address can only exist on the cpu port for signalling applications.
INT ciscoAtmIfCdLed	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.33	INTEGER	read-only	The Cd LED color of this port.
OCT ciscoAtmIfConfigAESA	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.35	OCTET STRING	read-write	The ATM End System Address (AESA) of this interface can be configured by entering the full 20 octet AESA, or the 6 octet ESI and 1 octet Selector Byte. If the ESI and Selector Byte are entered, the full AESA will be formed using a 13 octet prefix from ILMI. The full AESA can be read using ciscoAtmIfDerivedAESA. A length of zero indicates that no AESA is configured. For the switch, the AESA address can only exist on the cpu port.
I32 ciscoAtmIfConfVplIf	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.9	Integer32	read-only	The number of configured VP interfaces at this physical interface.
ATM ciscoAtmIfDerivedAESA	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.36	AtmAddr	read-only	The ATM End System Address (AESA) of this interface. The AESA is configured using ciscoAtmIfConfigAESA or can be automatically generated. A length of zero indicates that no AESA is specified. For the switch, the AESA address can only exist on the cpu port.
ATM ciscoAtmIfE164Address	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.37	AtmAddr	read-write	The ATM E164 address of this interface. When a native E.164 number is configured for this inteface, only native E.164 numbers are transmitted/received as the called/calling party numbers. The presence of an ATM E164 address allows both an algorithmic translation between the native E164 number and E164 AESA address formats (see ciscoAtmIfE164AutoConversionOnly) and use of the ATM E164 Address for the calling/called party number of transmitted/received calls. Entering an address will disable ciscoAtmIfE164AutoConversionOnly. An address of length zero indicates that no address is specified. For the switch, the E164 address cannot exist on the cpu port.
T/F ciscoAtmIfE164AutoConversionOnly	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.14.1.1.1.38	TruthValue	read-write	Enable/Disable E164 auto conversion only on this interface. The E164 auto-conversion allows for algorithmic translation between the native E164 number and E164 AESA address formats. This object is used when there is no native E.164 number specified for this interface (see ciscoAtmIfE164Address), to specify that only native E.164 numbers are transmitted/received as the called/calling party numbers and to enable/disable E164 auto-conversion. For the switch, E164 auto-conversion cannot exist on the cpu port.

If there are any per-interface ILMI address prefixes configured, then the prefixes derived from the switch addresses are not considered ILMI prefixes for this interface. permitPrefixAndWellknownGroups - This is same as 'permitPrefix' but in addition it also allows the well-known group addresses. The well-known group addresses will be the old LECS address and any address matching the ATM Forum address prefix for well known addresses. (i.e.,C5.0079.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00A03E) permitPrefixAndAllGroups - This is same as 'permitPrefix' but in addition it allows all group addresses. useGlobalDefaultFilter - It indicates that this interface uses the per-switch global default filter

If there are any per-interface ILMI address prefixes configured, then the prefixes derived from the switch addresses are not considered ILMI prefixes for this interface. permitPrefixAndWellknownGroups - This is same as 'permitPrefix' but in addition it also allows the well-known group addresses. The well-known group addresses will be the old LECS address and any address matching the ATM Forum address prefix for well known addresses. (i.e.,C5.0079.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00A03E) permitPrefixAndAllGroups - This is same as 'permitPrefix' but in addition it allows all group addresses.
