Description: Monitors ATM trunk utilization and error statistics on Cisco ATM trunking 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-TRUNK-STAT-MIB?

CISCO-ATM-TRUNK-STAT-MIB is a Cisco-proprietary SNMP module for monitoring ATM trunk (PVC) utilization and error statistics on Cisco ATM trunking platforms, commonly used for voice-over-ATM/VoIP trunking applications. It exposes per-PVC historical performance counters keyed by VPI/VCI and interval index, tracking transmitted/received ATM cell counts, average and peak cell rates, and validity/discontinuity markers for each collection interval. Its core monitoring purpose is performance and fault visibility for ATM trunk circuits: transmitted/received and average/peak cell counters reveal traffic load trends on a PVC, while the valid flag and discontinuity time flag intervals where counter data is unreliable (e.g., due to a reset or an outage) -- together with dedicated notification objects for alerting on abnormal trunk conditions. It builds on core ATM MIB conventions (PVC identification via VPI/VCI) alongside Cisco's own notification framework. It is deployed on Cisco platforms carrying ATM trunk traffic (e.g., voice trunking over ATM/CCS or VoIP gateways) where operators need historical PVC-level cell statistics for capacity planning and fault diagnosis. Engineers can download the CISCO-ATM-TRUNK-STAT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-ATM-TRUNK-STAT-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 trunking platforms (voice/VoIP-over-ATM gateways)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll catsPvcHistoryTable/catsPvcHistoryEntry for a specific PVC (identified by catsPvcVpi/catsPvcVci and catsPvcIntervalIndex) to compare catsPvcAvgAtmXmtCells against catsPvcPeakAtmXmtCells, spotting a PVC consistently near peak capacity; if catsPvcValidFlag shows an interval as invalid or catsPvcDiscontinuityTime indicates a recent reset, the operator would discount that interval's counters when investigating a suspected trunk outage.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ATM PVC transmitted/received cell counts
  • average and peak cell rates
  • interval validity flag
  • counter discontinuity time
  • ATM trunk fault notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using catsPvcAtmXmtCells OID:

Select a Cisco ATM trunking platform (voice/VoIP-over-ATM) 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 catsPvcAtmXmtCells 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 total number of cells transmitted by this PVC towards the ATM network. 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.
