Description: Manages device location information on Cisco equipment, storing geospatial or civic address data for network inventory purposes.

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-DEVICE-LOCATION-MIB?

CISCO-DEVICE-LOCATION-MIB is a Cisco proprietary MIB for storing physical and civic location information of endpoint devices — such as TelePresence units, IP cameras and digital media players — attached to a switch or router, with the location distributed via CDP or LLDP. It exposes configuration/inventory data: a location table keyed to a target device type and identifier, plus civic address fields formatted per RFC 4676 (country code, street/building detail). This is inventory and asset-tracking metadata rather than hardware health telemetry, though it supports correlating an endpoint's physical location with its identity as discovered via CDP/LLDP neighbor status. It explicitly depends on RFC 4676 civic location addressing and on CDP/LLDP as the transport mechanism for location data. It is deployed in enterprise campus networks alongside applications like Cisco Video Surveillance Manager or digital media managers that need physical-location context for connected endpoints. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-DEVICE-LOCATION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DEVICE-LOCATION-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 switches/routers with CDP/LLDP location support
  • connected endpoints (TelePresence units, IP cameras, digital media players)

Monitoring Examples

cdlLocationTable/cdlLocationEntry maps a cdlLocationTargetIdentifier (a discovered endpoint) and cdlLocationTargetType to its location data, while cdlCivicAddrLocationTable/cdlCivicAddrLocationEntry stores structured address fields (cdlCivicAddrLocationType/cdlCivicAddrLocationValue). An admin could poll these tables to confirm a TelePresence unit's registered location still matches its actual physical site after an office move.

What Can Be Monitored

  • endpoint location entries
  • civic address details
  • country code
  • target device type/identifier
  • location subtype capability
