Description: Provides extended management objects for Cisco CDMA Packet Data Serving Node, supplementing base PDSN MIB with additional counters and controls.

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-CDMA-PDSN-EXT-MIB?

CISCO-CDMA-PDSN-EXT-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB that extends the base CISCO-CDMA-PDSN-MIB to add supplementary management objects for the Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) function in a 3G CDMA mobile network, where the PDSN acts as the foreign agent terminating the link layer to mobile stations over the A10/A11 interface. It exposes bandwidth accounting objects (total, available, and allocated bandwidth), auxiliary-connection session controls and counts, DSCP-based session policing settings and totals, and header-compression (ROHC) enablement. Its monitoring value is centered on software/session-capacity status rather than physical hardware: administrators can watch ccpCdmaExtAvailableBandwidth versus ccpCdmaExtAllocatedBandwidth to see how much PDSN capacity remains, and track ccpCdmaExtAuxSessionTotal/ccpCdmaExtPolicingSessionTotal to understand auxiliary and policed-session load, with a notification (ccpCdmaExtLoadHighReachedNotifEnabled) available to alert on high load conditions. As stated in its own description, it is explicitly an extension dependent on the base CISCO-CDMA-PDSN-MIB, and conceptually on the CDMA2000/3GPP2 A10/A11 interface standards. This MIB is deployed on Cisco PDSN platforms within 3G CDMA mobile-operator core networks handling wireless data sessions. Engineers can download the CISCO-CDMA-PDSN-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-CDMA-PDSN-EXT-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 PDSN (Packet Data Serving Node) platforms in 3G CDMA mobile core networks

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ccpCdmaExtTotalBandwidth, ccpCdmaExtAvailableBandwidth, and ccpCdmaExtAllocatedBandwidth to see how much PDSN capacity remains before the node becomes bandwidth-constrained, and check ccpCdmaExtSessionAuxConnectionsTotal against ccpCdmaExtSessionMaxAuxConnectionsAllowed to confirm auxiliary sessions aren't hitting their configured cap. Enabling ccpCdmaExtLoadHighReachedNotifEnabled lets the PDSN send a trap when load crosses a high-water mark, prompting review of ccpCdmaExtPolicingSessionTotal and ccpCdmaExtDscpSession for policing-related session counts. A steadily shrinking ccpCdmaExtAvailableBandwidth alongside rising ccpCdmaExtAuxSessionTotal would indicate the PDSN is approaching capacity and needs load redistribution or additional hardware.

What Can Be Monitored

  • total/available/allocated PDSN bandwidth
  • auxiliary session count vs. max allowed
  • DSCP session policing totals
  • ROHC (header compression) enablement
  • high-load notification state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ccpCdmaExtRpReRegNewAuxConnections OID:

Select a Cisco PDSN (Packet Data Serving Node) platform (legacy) 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 ccpCdmaExtRpReRegNewAuxConnections into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of A11 re-registration messages received at the PDSN to establish new auxiliary A10 connections. 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.
