Description: Defines SNMP agent capability statements for DS3/T3 interface management MIB on Cisco platforms.

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-DS3-CAPABILITY?

This is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module that documents which objects and features of the standard DS3-MIB (RFC 2496, covering DS3/T3 digital transmission interfaces) are implemented and supported by Cisco's SNMP agent. It does not define any runtime data objects itself; rather it is a conformance/capability declaration used by network management systems to determine which parts of DS3-MIB a given Cisco device implementation supports. As such it exposes no hardware/software status data directly, no uptime, temperature, or interface counters, since its sole purpose is describing agent conformance to the referenced standard. It is explicitly dependent on the IETF DS3-MIB (RFC 2496) which it extends/qualifies for Cisco implementations. It is used internally by NMS tooling during MIB compliance negotiation on Cisco routers/switches with DS3/T3 interfaces, not for direct operational monitoring, making the CISCO-DS3-CAPABILITY MIB a reference document for compliance checks rather than a live polling target.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DS3-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

  • vendor-neutral IETF DS3/T3 interface standard (Cisco agent capability statement)
  • Cisco routers/switches with DS3/T3 interfaces

Monitoring Examples

This is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES module with no runtime data objects; it contains no monitorable counters or status values, only capability statements describing which DS3-MIB groups and objects a Cisco agent implements. Network management tools use it during capability negotiation, not for polling live data.
