CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for the Cisco BITS clock 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.

CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module, not a data-bearing MIB, in the timing/synchronization technology area related to Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clocking. It declares which object groups of the companion CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-MIB a given Cisco platform or release implements. It exposes no hardware status data itself, though it governs the availability of BITS clock source and status objects (used elsewhere to monitor timing reference health, such as clock source selection and synchronization alarms) on a given device. It is entirely dependent on the CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-MIB it profiles. It is used by NMS and MIB compilers to determine BITS clock MIB feature support on Cisco platforms that provide external timing references, such as those used in carrier telecom environments. Engineers can download the CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This module contains no monitorable runtime objects; it is purely a capability declaration mapping supported groups of CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-MIB to specific Cisco platform releases. It would be consulted by network management tooling to confirm BITS clock monitoring support before attempting to query the actual clock-source or alarm objects defined in CISCO-BITS-CLOCK-MIB.

Defines agent capabilities for Cisco BITS (Building Integrated Timing Supply) clock management.
