Description: Defines SNMP agent capability statements for the Cisco Distributed Management Expression MIB used for computed MIB values.
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-DISMAN-EXPRESSION-CAPABILITY?
This module is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance statement for the standards-based IETF DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB, which lets an SNMP agent compute derived/expression-based values from other MIB objects. It belongs to Cisco's general distributed-management instrumentation and documents which expression-evaluation features a given platform supports, rather than exposing any computed values itself. It carries no direct hardware or software status data — no uptime, temperature, or performance counters — it is purely a conformance/capabilities declaration. Its dependency is explicit: it describes support for the IETF DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB standard. It is used by management systems to confirm expression-MIB feature support on a device before configuring computed/derived monitoring expressions. Engineers can download the CISCO-DISMAN-EXPRESSION-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DISMAN-EXPRESSION-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 routers and switches supporting DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB
Monitoring Examples
As an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module (sample_objects is empty) it defines no runtime objects and offers no monitoring scenario of its own; it only states which parts of DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB are implemented on a given Cisco platform.
