Description: Extends Cisco role-based access control with additional permission rules and role attribute definitions for device management.

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-COMMON-ROLES-EXT-MIB?

CISCO-COMMON-ROLES-EXT-MIB extends CISCO-COMMON-ROLES-MIB to manage role-based access control common across a device's CLI, SNMP, and XML management interfaces, letting administrators define features (groups of commands) and roles that grant or restrict access to those features. It exposes tables of configurable feature elements and roles, including role names, descriptions, and resource-access permissions. Its monitoring/management value is around software configuration and security posture rather than hardware health: administrators use it to audit which roles exist on a device and what command features they can access, which is important for verifying access control compliance rather than performance or fault detection. It explicitly depends on CISCO-COMMON-ROLES-MIB, extending that base module's role management for devices with fixed feature sets. It is deployed on Cisco devices implementing role-based CLI/SNMP/XML access control, typically in environments with strict administrative access segregation. Engineers can download the CISCO-COMMON-ROLES-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-COMMON-ROLES-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 network device with role-based CLI/SNMP/XML access control

Monitoring Examples

An auditor would poll ccreRoleTable, reading ccreRoleName, ccreRoleDescription, and ccreRoleResourceAccess to confirm which resources a given administrative role can reach, and cross-reference ccreFeatureElementTable (keyed by ccreFeatureName and ccreFeatureElementIndex) to see which specific command features are included. Finding a ccreRoleResourceAccess value granting broader access than expected for a given ccreRoleName would flag an access-control misconfiguration needing correction.

What Can Be Monitored

  • defined administrative roles
  • role resource access permissions
  • feature element definitions and types
  • feature-to-role mapping
  • role configuration row status
