Description: Manages IP SLA video quality probes measuring MOS, packet loss, and jitter for video traffic.

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-IPSLA-VIDEO-MIB?

CISCO-IPSLA-VIDEO-MIB is a Cisco enterprise MIB that is part of the IP SLA (Service Level Agreement) active-monitoring feature family, specifically covering the 'video' IP SLA operation used to assess video traffic quality across a network. It exposes performance statistics such as positive/negative frame-timing deviations (jitter-like spread metrics), packet counts, and aggregated versus latest-sample statistics tables. This MIB is squarely a software/performance monitoring tool: it lets an operator track real-time and historical video-quality metrics (akin to jitter, delay variation, and sample counts) rather than physical hardware health, helping detect degraded video experience before end users complain. It depends on the broader Cisco RTTMON/IP SLA framework, notably rttMonEchoAdminProtocol from CISCO-RTTMON-MIB, to actually configure and run the video probe. It is typically deployed on Cisco routers and switches acting as IP SLA responders/sources in networks carrying VoIP/video traffic, such as enterprise WAN or service-provider video-delivery infrastructure. Engineers can download the CISCO-IPSLA-VIDEO-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-IPSLA-VIDEO-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 router
  • Cisco switch (IP SLA-capable)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cipslaLatestVideoStatsTable/cipslaLatestVideoStatsEntry for the most recent probe result, examining cipslaLatestVideoMinPosSD, cipslaLatestVideoMaxPosSD, and cipslaLatestVideoSumPosSD (and their negative-SD counterparts) to gauge the spread of frame-timing deviations. Comparing these latest-sample values against the aggregated cipslaVideoAggStatsTable over time can reveal a trend of worsening jitter that correlates with network congestion. A sudden spike in cipslaLatestVideoNumNegSD relative to baseline would flag video quality degradation on a monitored path.

What Can Be Monitored

  • video probe jitter/frame-deviation statistics
  • positive/negative SD sample counts and sums
  • latest vs. aggregated video quality stats
  • IP SLA video operation status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cipslaLatestVideoUnSyncRTs OID:

Select a Cisco router/switch (IP SLA video) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cipslaLatestVideoUnSyncRTs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of RTT operations that have completed with sender and responder out of sync with NTP. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
