Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for the Cisco IETF IS-IS routing protocol MIB.

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-IETF-ISIS-CAPABILITY?

CISCO-IETF-ISIS-CAPABILITY is a pure AGENT-CAPABILITIES module declaring which parts of the companion CISCO-IETF-ISIS-MIB (IS-IS routing protocol instrumentation) a given Cisco IOS/IOS-XR release implements. It has no operational data of its own - it is conformance metadata mapping Cisco software releases to supported IS-IS MIB object groups, used by NMS tools for capability negotiation rather than by operators for direct monitoring. Because it is conformance-only, it does not expose adjacency state, LSP database counters, or interface metrics itself; those live in CISCO-IETF-ISIS-MIB, whose supported subset this module documents. It depends entirely on CISCO-IETF-ISIS-MIB, itself based on the IETF ISIS-MIB, for actual routing-protocol managed objects. It is deployed alongside Cisco routers running IS-IS as an interior gateway routing protocol in service-provider and enterprise core networks. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-IETF-ISIS-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-IETF-ISIS-CAPABILITY. 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 router running IS-IS routing protocol

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided, consistent with this being a pure AGENT-CAPABILITIES/conformance module - there is no runtime data to poll and thus no monitoring scenario to describe. Actual IS-IS adjacency, LSP database, and area state would be exposed by the companion CISCO-IETF-ISIS-MIB, not by this capabilities declaration.
