Description: Provides identification and version information objects for the Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway device.

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-DMN-DSG-ABOUT-MIB?

CISCO-DMN-DSG-ABOUT-MIB is a Cisco MIB providing basic identification and version information for the Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway platform, part of Cisco's Digital Media Network (DMN) / DSG (DVB Simulcrypt/Satellite Gateway) product line. It exposes hardware inventory-style data such as board tables (position, ID, revision, serial number, option bits) and software tables identifying installed software components, plus an 'about' table summarizing overall device identity. Its monitoring value is primarily hardware and software identity/version verification: administrators use boardSerialNum, boardRev, and boardOptionBits to confirm which physical board variant is installed in each chassis slot (boardPosition), and the swTable entries to verify installed software versions, which is useful for confirming firmware/software consistency across a fleet of satellite gateway devices. It is a self-contained vendor MIB specific to the D9800 platform with no notable dependency on general networking MIBs beyond standard SNMP conventions. It is typically deployed in cable/satellite headend facilities running Cisco D9800 digital satellite gateways for video content reception and distribution. Engineers can download the CISCO-DMN-DSG-ABOUT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DMN-DSG-ABOUT-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 DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway

Monitoring Examples

An operator would walk boardTable / boardEntry keyed by boardIdx to retrieve boardID, boardRev, and boardSerialNum for each installed board, verifying hardware inventory matches expected chassis configuration, and separately check swTable entries (keyed by swIdx) to confirm the installed software version on each component. A boardOptionBits value inconsistent with the expected feature license could reveal a board provisioned with the wrong hardware options.

What Can Be Monitored

board identity and revision
board serial number
board position/slot
board option bits
installed software version per component

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using swStatus OID:

Select a Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type swStatus into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. Status of the Software Application. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'running', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
