Description: Provides management objects for monitoring the high-speed fabric (HFR) interconnects on Cisco CRS-1 carrier routing system 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-FABRIC-HFR-MIB?

CISCO-FABRIC-HFR-MIB is a Cisco proprietary MIB that manages the Enhanced Benes switch fabric on the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System, a high-end core router platform, covering fabric planes, bundles, and switch-fabric-element (SFE) interconnects between line cards and route processors. It exposes configuration and state data for fabric planes and bundles, including administrative/operational status and counts of total versus downed bundles, along with statistics tables tracking fabric traffic and errors. The MIB is explicitly built for hardware health monitoring: it reports plane operational/administrative status, tracks downed bundles and links, and generates traps (plane-state, bundle-state, bundle-downed-link) so operators can detect fabric degradation before it causes packet loss across the chassis. It relies on standard Cisco notification conventions and is tightly coupled to the CRS-1's internal fabric architecture (RP/DRP/LC/SFE), so its OIDs only resolve meaningfully on that hardware family. Typical deployment is in Cisco CRS-1 carrier-class router installations at service-provider cores, where NOC teams monitor fabric-plane health as a leading indicator of interconnect failures. Engineers can download the CISCO-FABRIC-HFR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FABRIC-HFR-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll cfhPlaneTable (indexed by cfhPlaneId) to read cfhPlaneAdminStatus and cfhPlaneOperStatus alongside cfhPlaneTotalBundles and cfhPlaneDownedBundles — a nonzero or rising cfhPlaneDownedBundles value against a steady cfhPlaneTotalBundles signals a fabric interconnect degrading. The companion cfhPlaneStatsTable provides traffic/error counters per plane for deeper diagnosis. Enabling cfhGenPlaneStateTrapEnable and cfhGenBundleDownedLinkTrapEnable lets the router proactively notify a management station via ciscoFabricHfrMIBObjects notifications when a bundle or link drops, rather than requiring constant polling.

What Can Be Monitored

fabric plane admin/operational status
total vs. downed fabric bundles
fabric plane traffic and error statistics
downed-link trap events

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cfhPlaneStatsRxDataCells OID:

Select a Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System 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 cfhPlaneStatsRxDataCells 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. The accumulated number of data cells have been received by all link receivers for this plane. 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 a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
ciscoFabricHfrMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.257			Cisco Enhanced Benes fabric MIB module. This MIB module is used for managing/tracking the Ehanced Benes Fabric entities and/or fabric related configuration, state and statistics information. The fabric entities relationship is shown as follows: Acronyms and terms: RP - Routing processor. DRP - Distributed Route Processor. LC - Line card. SFE - switch fabric element. SFE port - the port of SFE contains a transmitter and/or receiver to transmit and/or receive data from backplane. fabric link - Fabric link. +-+ +-+ \|T1+=====================================>+R\| +-+ single fabric link +-+ A fabric link contains a transmitter T and receiver R. The transmitter T is in the source SFE port of the fabric link and the receiver R is in the destination SFE port of the fabric link. OIM - Optical Interface Module. fabric bundle - Fabric bundle is a cable that contains one or more fabric links for transferring data between fabric cards. +-+ +-+ \|A+==================/====================+B\| +-+ 1..N fabric links +-+ A fabric bundle cable contains 1 to N fabric links. One end of the fabric bundle cable is plugged into the fabric bundle port A of fabric card in Line card rack and the other end is plugged into the fabric bundle port B on a OIM of fabric rack for the high speed data transfer between fabric bundle port A and B. ingressq - a switch fabric element which queues/segments packets into cells and sends them into fabric. fabricq - a switch fabric element which resequences and reassembles cells from fabric into packets and forwarding them to the egress interface related hardware. fabric plane - Fabric plane is a path from a set of ingressqs in a RP/DRP or LC card to a set of fabricqs in other RP/DRP or LC cards for transferring data between RP, DRP, and LC cards.
