Description: Provides management objects for network control policy configuration governing adapter behavior on Cisco UCS/Firepower 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-FIREPOWER-NWCTRL-MIB?

CISCO-FIREPOWER-NWCTRL-MIB is part of Cisco's UCS/Firepower chassis management information model, covering the NWCTRL package that manages network control policy governing adapter (NIC/HBA) behavior such as failover and forged-transmit settings on compute blades. It exposes card-configuration objects showing administrative and operational state, configuration state, and fault-aggregation status for network adapter cards, along with the fault-tolerant OIR (online insertion/removal) state. Its monitoring value spans both hardware and software status: administrators can confirm a network adapter card is administratively enabled and operationally up, watch for aggregated faults, and detect OIR events that indicate a card was physically removed or reseated. It shares the DN/RN object model of the CISCO-FIREPOWER-*-MIB family, tying network control state to specific adapter card instances. It is deployed on Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects and Firepower 9300 chassis, where CISCO-FIREPOWER-NWCTRL-MIB SNMP monitoring tracks network adapter behavior and health.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FIREPOWER-NWCTRL-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 UCS Fabric Interconnect
  • Cisco Firepower 9300 chassis network adapter

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cfprNwctrlCardConfigTable/cfprNwctrlCardConfigEntry, keyed by cfprNwctrlCardConfigInstanceId, comparing cfprNwctrlCardConfigAdminState to cfprNwctrlCardConfigOperState to confirm a network adapter card is up as expected, and checking cfprNwctrlCardConfigFltAggr for any aggregated fault flags. cfprNwctrlCardConfigOirState reveals whether the card was recently removed or reinserted (OIR event), which combined with an unexpected drop in cfprNwctrlCardConfigOperState would point to a card reseating or hardware failure. cfprNwctrlCardConfigModel identifies the specific adapter model in question.

What Can Be Monitored

  • network adapter admin/operational state
  • aggregated fault status
  • online insertion/removal (OIR) state
  • adapter card model
  • configuration state
