Description: Manages call admission control for bandwidth management on Cisco CMTS cable systems.

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-CABLE-ADMISSION-CTRL-MIB?

CISCO-CABLE-ADMISSION-CTRL-MIB is a Cisco Systems, Inc. proprietary MIB managing CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) admission control — the rules governing CPU, memory, and bandwidth allocation in response to monitored events such as dynamic service-flow creation for voice/video calls. Its objects cover a global notify-enable flag and event-monitoring control, a system-resource config table (resource type, status, minor/major/critical thresholds), an upstream-config table (interface, scheduling type, service-class name, status, minor/major thresholds, exclusive/non-exclusive percentages), and a downstream-config table (interface, traffic type, status, minor threshold). As a configuration/performance MIB it lets an administrator confirm admission-control thresholds and watch resource pressure on a Cisco CMTS. It is deployed on Cisco Systems CMTS platforms. Engineers can download the CISCO-CABLE-ADMISSION-CTRL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-CABLE-ADMISSION-CTRL-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 Systems CMTS platforms

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks ccacSysRscConfigCritThreshold and ccacUsConfigExclusivePercent to confirm upstream admission-control thresholds on a Cisco CMTS.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ccacSysRscMinorCrosses OID:

Select a Cisco CMTS platform 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 ccacSysRscMinorCrosses 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. This object indicates the number of times system resource utilization on the physical entity has crossed minor threshold specified by ccacSysRscConfigMinorThreshold. 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.
