Description: Declares SNMP agent capability statements for CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB multicast fabric application management.
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-MCAST-APPL-MIB-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module, not a data-bearing MIB itself, that formally declares which parts of CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB a given Cisco platform's SNMP agent actually implements. It defines a single ciscoFabricMcastApplCapability MODULE-IDENTITY plus one capability statement, cfmaCapabilityIOSXRV3R03, which declares support for the cfmaApplGroup object group on Cisco IOS XR release 3.3 running on the CRS-1 carrier routing system. Rather than exposing counters or configuration itself, its value to monitoring is indirect: a management station or MIB compiler consults this capability statement to determine whether it is safe to poll CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB's multicast fabric application objects against a particular CRS-1/IOS XR software combination, avoiding failed GET requests against unsupported objects. It depends entirely on CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB (the MIB it describes) and CISCO-SMI for its ciscoAgentCapability parent OID, and it is relevant wherever CRS-1 chassis running IOS XR 3.3 are deployed with multicast fabric applications enabled. Engineers validating platform support before deploying multicast fabric monitoring can consult the CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB-CAPABILITY reference to confirm object-group coverage.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FABRIC-MCAST-APPL-MIB-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 CRS-1 carrier routing system running IOS XR
Monitoring Examples
A management application checks cfmaCapabilityIOSXRV3R03's INCLUDES clause before polling cfmaApplGroup objects on a CRS-1 router; if the router is instead running a different IOS XR release with no matching capability statement, the operator knows in advance not to expect valid responses from that object group rather than treating a poll failure as a device fault.
What Can Be Monitored
- declared support for cfmaApplGroup object group
- platform/software-release capability mapping
- MIB-to-agent conformance validation
