Description: Provides management objects for virtual NIC (vNIC) template, instantiation, and statistics on Cisco UCS/Firepower service profiles.

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-VNIC-MIB?

CISCO-FIREPOWER-VNIC-MIB is a Cisco proprietary MIB module modeling virtual network interface card (vNIC) management for Cisco UCS/Firepower service profiles, part of the larger Cisco UCS Manager information model exposed via SNMP. It exposes configuration objects for vNIC boot policies, IP addressing policy, and instantiation/statistics data tied to service-profile templates, using a distinguished-name (Dn) based object-identification scheme typical of UCS Manager MIBs. For monitoring it functions mainly as a software/configuration-status MIB: administrators check vNIC boot-IP-policy and template settings to confirm a Firepower/UCS service profile's virtual interfaces are correctly provisioned, and use the boot-target table to verify boot ordering, which matters when a blade or service profile fails to reach its intended boot device. It depends on the broader Cisco UCS Manager MIB family and management information model, referenced via policyOwner/poolName policy, pool, and organizational objects. It is typically deployed on Cisco Firepower appliances and UCS blade/server infrastructure running service-profile-based configuration management, and administrators commonly open the CISCO-FIREPOWER-VNIC-MIB MIB Browser view to inspect these objects directly.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FIREPOWER-VNIC-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 Firepower appliances
  • Cisco UCS blade/server infrastructure

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cfprVnicBootIpPolicyTable/cfprVnicBootIpPolicyEntry, using cfprVnicBootIpPolicyDn and cfprVnicBootIpPolicyName to identify a specific vNIC boot-IP policy attached to a service profile. cfprVnicBootIpPolicyPolicyOwner and cfprVnicBootIpPolicyPoolName reveal which policy/IP pool governs the vNIC's addressing, useful when a service profile's virtual interface fails to obtain the expected address. cfprVnicBootTargetTable would be checked to confirm the configured boot target order for a vNIC, helping diagnose why a Firepower/UCS blade is not booting from its intended image.

What Can Be Monitored

  • vNIC boot-IP policy configuration
  • vNIC policy ownership/pool assignment
  • vNIC boot target configuration
  • service-profile vNIC instantiation details
