Description: Manages Frame Relay to ATM interworking function on Cisco ATM switch platforms.

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-SWITCH-FR-IWF-MIB?

CISCO-ATM-SWITCH-FR-IWF-MIB manages Frame Relay-to-ATM interworking function (IWF) connections on Cisco ATM switches, covering both Frame Relay-to-ATM switched connections and Frame Relay-to-Frame Relay connections carried across an ATM switching fabric. It exposes configuration and statistics data organized around Frame Relay traffic parameters, virtual-circuit mapping between Frame Relay DLCIs and ATM VCs, per-interface interworking settings, and traffic/error counts. For hardware/software status monitoring it is primarily used to verify interworking connections are correctly mapped and passing traffic: the FR-to-ATM VC mapping objects confirm a given Frame Relay circuit is bound to the correct ATM VC, and the counts/statistics objects reveal traffic volume or error conditions such as discards or congestion on interworked connections. It builds on top of standard Frame Relay and ATM (ATM-MIB) technology concepts, since it explicitly bridges those two switching technologies. It is deployed on Cisco ATM switching platforms (e.g., BPX/MGX series) providing Frame Relay interworking services in carrier or enterprise WAN networks. Engineers can download the CISCO-ATM-SWITCH-FR-IWF-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-ATM-SWITCH-FR-IWF-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 (e.g., BPX/MGX series) with Frame Relay interworking

Monitoring Examples

An operator inspects the casfMapping objects to confirm a Frame Relay DLCI is correctly mapped to its corresponding ATM virtual circuit for a given interworking connection, and polls casfFrCounts to check per-connection traffic and error counters for signs of congestion or discards. The casfFrInterface and casfFrVC groupings let an admin correlate a specific Frame Relay interface to the ATM VC carrying its interworked traffic, useful for troubleshooting a customer circuit that is not passing traffic end-to-end across the FR/ATM boundary.

What Can Be Monitored

  • Frame Relay-to-ATM VC mapping
  • per-connection traffic counts
  • per-connection error/discard counts
  • Frame Relay interface interworking configuration
  • virtual circuit status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using casfFrLmiEnquiryIns OID:

Select a Cisco ATM switch (BPX/MGX series) with Frame Relay interworking 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 casfFrLmiEnquiryIns 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. It reports the number of Status Enquiry messages received. 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.
