CISCO-HC-ALARM-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares SNMP agent capability statements for the CISCO-HC-ALARM-MIB high-capacity RMON alarm implementation on Cisco 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-HC-ALARM-CAPABILITY is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module that documents which parts of the CISCO-HC-ALARM-MIB (the high-capacity, 64-bit counter variant of the RMON alarm MIB) a particular Cisco agent implementation actually supports. It belongs to Cisco's RMON/network-monitoring MIB family and, as a capabilities module, does not itself expose any runtime data such as counters, tables, or notifications. Instead it is metadata consumed by SNMP management stations to determine implementation conformance before polling the associated data MIB. Its only dependency is the CISCO-HC-ALARM-MIB it describes, together with the standard SNMPv2 conformance framework (AGENT-CAPABILITIES). It applies wherever Cisco devices implement high-capacity RMON alarm thresholds, typically higher-end routers and switches with substantial traffic volumes needing 64-bit counters. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-HC-ALARM-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This module is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES statement, not a source of runtime data; it defines no monitorable objects of its own, only which groups of CISCO-HC-ALARM-MIB a given Cisco agent version implements.

A Cisco proprietary MIB module defining agent capability statements for high capacity alarm monitoring (HC-ALARM-MIB), specifying which SNMP alarm and threshold monitoring functions are supported on Cisco systems.
