CISCO-GGSN-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares SNMP agent capability statements for the CISCO-GGSN-MIB GPRS Gateway Support Node implementation on Cisco GGSN 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.

CISCO-GGSN-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module that formally declares which parts of CISCO-GGSN-MIB (the MIB governing GPRS Gateway Support Node functionality) a particular Cisco IOS/IOS-XE agent implementation supports. It belongs to Cisco's mobile/GPRS packet-core technology area, specifically the GGSN component that anchors mobile data sessions between a GPRS/UMTS radio network and external packet data networks. Rather than exposing any runtime data itself, it lists the object groups, variations, and compliance levels implemented by a given software release, so it does not directly provide hardware/software status information such as uptime, CPU, or session counts. Its sole dependency is on CISCO-GGSN-MIB, the data-bearing module it describes support for. It is used internally by SNMP management tools and NMS platforms to determine feature/version compatibility before attempting to poll or configure a Cisco GGSN device, rather than being polled directly for monitoring. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-GGSN-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This module contains only AGENT-CAPABILITIES statements and no runtime data objects, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe; it is consulted by management applications to check which CISCO-GGSN-MIB groups a given software version implements, not polled for live values.
