Description: Defines SNMP agent capability statements for the Cisco Diameter Base Protocol MIB.
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-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-CAPABILITY is a pure AGENT-CAPABILITIES module declaring which object groups of the companion CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB a given Cisco IOS/IOS-XE release implements, where Diameter is the AAA signaling protocol used for authentication, authorization, and accounting in mobile/policy-control networks. It contains no operational data of its own; it maps specific Cisco software releases to the Diameter base-protocol object groups and variations they support. Because it is a conformance-only module, it does not directly expose hardware/software status (uptime, CPU, memory, sessions); that data lives in CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB itself, which this module merely describes support for. It depends entirely on CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB for the actual managed objects. It is used alongside Cisco platforms (e.g. edge routers/gateways) acting as Diameter nodes in mobile/policy-control (AAA) network deployments, where this CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-CAPABILITY reference helps NMS tooling confirm which object groups are supported.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-CAPABILITY. 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 router/gateway acting as a Diameter AAA node
Monitoring Examples
No sample objects were provided, consistent with this being a pure AGENT-CAPABILITIES/conformance module - there are no runtime data objects to poll and therefore no monitoring scenario to describe honestly. Actual Diameter peer/session state, such as connection status or transaction counters, would be exposed by the companion CISCO-DIAMETER-BASE-PROTOCOL-MIB, not by this capability statement.
