Description: Top-level Cisco UCS/Firepower MIB providing root OID registration and overview objects for the entire Firepower/UCS SNMP management framework.
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-FIREPOWER-MIB?
CISCO-FIREPOWER-MIB is the top-level SNMP management module for Cisco Firepower (FPR) Manager, the centralized management system for Cisco's Firepower next-generation firewall/security appliances, built on the same hierarchical management-domain model as Cisco UCS. It belongs to the network security appliance category and establishes the root object, ciscoFirepowerMIBObjects, under which the broader Firepower MIB family organizes its tree of managed objects covering chassis, modules, and security service configuration. Through this root and its associated Firepower MIB tables, administrators can monitor hardware health (chassis/module power, fan, thermal status), uptime, software/firmware version, and operational versus administrative configuration state of Firepower appliances. This module's data model explicitly mirrors and depends on the broader Cisco UCS management-object tree structure, sharing conventions with CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-MIB, and the ciscoFirepowerMIBObjects root sits directly under the CISCO-FIREPOWER-MIB OID branch, giving administrators a single starting point when browsing the full Firepower object tree. It is deployed in data centers and network security environments running Cisco Firepower appliances managed via Firepower Chassis Manager or FMC.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FIREPOWER-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 Secure Firewall 4245 (2024) — flagship NGFW appliance in the current 4200 Series, up to 1.79 Tbps clustered
- Cisco Secure Firewall 4215 (2024) — entry-level model in the current 4200 Series NGFW appliance line
Monitoring Examples
The root object ciscoFirepowerMIBObjects anchors the entire Firepower management tree; this top-level module itself carries no granular runtime data, so subordinate tables built beneath this root would expose per-module fault, power, and thermal status. An administrator would typically poll deeper into the Firepower MIB tree (organized under this root) to detect a security module reporting degraded health or a chassis fan failure. Because this particular module is primarily organizational, it should be treated honestly as a root/registration point rather than a rich source of live counters on its own.
What Can Be Monitored
- Firepower chassis and module status
- overall Firepower management tree structure

FAQ
Where do I start when browsing SNMP objects for a Cisco Firepower appliance managed via FMC or Firepower Chassis Manager?
CISCO-FIREPOWER-MIB establishes the root object, ciscoFirepowerMIBObjects, under which the entire Firepower management-object tree is organized. Starting from this root, an administrator can navigate down into the chassis, module, and security service configuration objects for a Firepower next-generation firewall deployment.
What kind of hardware and software status can be monitored through the Firepower MIB tree rooted here?
Through this root and its associated Firepower tables, administrators can monitor chassis/module status such as power, fan, and thermal health, along with uptime, software/firmware version, and operational versus administrative configuration state — mirroring the same management-object model Cisco uses for UCS.
