Description: Extends the IETF Dial Control MIB with management of dial peers for voice telephony on both circuit-switched and IP data networks.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring CISCO-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is CISCO-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB?

CISCO-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB extends the IETF Dial Control MIB to manage dial peers used for voice telephony over both traditional circuit-switched networks and IP data networks on Cisco routers, and records call history for demand-access and similar interfaces. The data it exposes is largely call-event and configuration data: per-call history including setup and connect times, peer addresses and IDs, logical interface indices, and disconnect cause/text, along with global dial-peer configuration objects. As a software/fault-status MIB it lets an administrator review recent call setup and teardown activity and diagnose connectivity problems via disconnect cause codes, which is central to troubleshooting VoIP and dial-backup connectivity rather than physical hardware health. It explicitly extends the IETF Dial Control MIB (RFC 2128-family) and is closely related to CISCO-CALL-HISTORY-MIB, sharing a similar call-record model. It is typically deployed on Cisco voice gateways and routers with dial peers configured for VoIP trunking or ISDN/analog dial-backup scenarios. Browsing the CISCO-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB OID tree alongside cCallHistoryTable entries helps an administrator confirm exactly which objects are populated for a given IOS release.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DIAL-CONTROL-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 ISR 4461 — current-generation Integrated Services Router running Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) with configurable dial peers
  • Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platform — current CUBE-capable voice gateway
  • Cisco ISR/Catalyst 8000 series routers and voice gateways running Unified Border Element (CUBE) with dial-peer configuration

Monitoring Examples

An administrator walks cCallHistoryTable / cCallHistoryEntry keyed by cCallHistoryIndex, examining cCallHistorySetupTime and cCallHistoryConnectTime to measure call setup latency for a given cCallHistoryPeerId and cCallHistoryPeerAddress. Persistent non-zero cCallHistoryDisconnectCause values with accompanying cCallHistoryDisconnectText across many entries for the same cCallHistoryLogicalIfIndex would point to a chronic problem with a specific dial peer or trunk. Reviewing cPeerGlobalConfiguration alongside these history entries helps correlate a peer's configuration with observed call-failure patterns.

What Can Be Monitored

  • call setup and connect time
  • peer address and peer ID
  • call disconnect cause and text
  • logical interface used per call
