What Is CISCO-CDSTV-AUTHMGR-MIB?

CISCO-CDSTV-AUTHMGR-MIB manages the Authentication Manager component of Cisco's Content Delivery System for TV (CDS-TV), a video streaming and on-demand delivery platform for television and set-top-box clients. The data it exposes is configuration and operational status for an optional RTSP-environment feature (specifically EventIS integration) that validates client credentials against a back-office system, including server addresses, ports, thread-pool sizing, and debug level. As a software-status MIB it lets an operator confirm the authentication manager service is correctly pointed at its back-office and EventIS servers and is running with an appropriately sized thread pool to handle authentication request load, with notifications available for service-level issues. It is a Cisco proprietary module specific to the CDS-TV product suite and does not appear to depend on external standards MIBs. It is typically deployed in cable/telco video head-end and content-delivery infrastructure where RTSP-based video-on-demand services require per-request client authentication. Engineers can download the CISCO-CDSTV-AUTHMGR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-CDSTV-AUTHMGR-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator checks cdstvAuthMgrAddressType / cdstvAuthMgrAddress and cdstvAuthMgrPort to confirm the Authentication Manager is configured to reach the correct back-office server, and separately verifies cdstvAuthMgrEventIsAddress and cdstvAuthMgrEventIsPort for the EventIS integration endpoint. Monitoring cdstvAuthMgrServerThreadPool alongside ciscoCdstvAuthMgrMIBNotifs helps detect when the thread pool is undersized for the volume of client authentication requests, which would manifest as slow or failed video session starts. Raising cdstvAuthMgrDebugLevel temporarily can help correlate a spike in authentication failures with a specific back-office connectivity problem.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ciscoCdstvAuthmgrMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.751			This MIB module defines objects that describe the configuration of the authentication manager for the Cisco Content Delivery System for TV (CDS-TV). CDS-TV is a suite of products and software applications providing ingest, storage, caching, streaming, playout and on-demand delivery of video to television or set-top-box clients. Authentication Manager is an optional feature of CDS-TV and is only for specific RTSP environments (EventIS). The Authentication Manager communicates with the back-office to validate a request received from a set-top box before setting up a session.

Content Ingest: Acquisition of content from a source such as a catcher or an FTP server for storing it locally and making it available to streamers as needed. TRAXIS: A part of the proprietary EventIS VOD back-office solution for transaction, session and resource management that communicates with VOD client applications, edge QAM devices, video servers and conditional access systems. Device Roles: Vault: Content delivery application responsible for ingesting and storing video content and making it available to streamers and/or caching nodes. Caching Nodes: Content delivery application responsible for caching content from vault (using CCP) and then streaming content out to streamers over HTTP or CCP. Streamer: Content delivery application responsible for streaming video out to STB's. ISV: Content delivery application capable of acting as both a vault and as a streamer in a single device.
