CISCO-IMAGE-TC

Description: Defines textual conventions for Cisco software image management MIBs.

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-IMAGE-TC is a textual-conventions-only MIB defining shared data types used by Cisco's enhanced software image management MIBs, covering concepts such as Base Image and MBI (Minimum Bootable Image). It belongs to the software/image-management area of Cisco's MIB family rather than any specific hardware technology. Because it only defines types and no managed objects or tables itself, it has no directly pollable runtime data, but the conventions it defines underpin other MIBs' software-version and boot-image status reporting, which is used to monitor which OS image or version a device is running. Other Cisco image-related MIBs directly depend on the textual conventions defined here as their common data-type foundation. It is used behind the scenes on any Cisco platform running the enhanced/modular software image model, wherever image inventory or boot status is reported via SNMP, since the CISCO-IMAGE-TC MIB defines the shared types other image MIBs depend on.

This module defines only TEXTUAL CONVENTIONs, such as image-type enumerations for Base Image and MBI, and has no tables or scalar objects of its own, so there is no direct monitoring scenario; its types are consumed by other Cisco image MIBs that do expose pollable image-status objects.

A Cisco textual convention MIB that defines standard data types and textual conventions for Cisco image and firmware management. This MIB supports retrieving information about images running on Cisco devices and package information for Cisco IOS systems.
