CISCO-MAU-EXT-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for extended Medium Attachment Unit management on Cisco network devices.

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-MAU-EXT-CAPABILITY is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module declaring which objects of the CISCO-MAU-EXT-MIB, an extension for Medium Attachment Unit management building on the standard IETF MAU-MIB for Ethernet physical-layer/transceiver management, a given Cisco device or software release supports. It contains no runtime monitorable data itself and serves purely as a compatibility statement for network management systems and MIB compilers. It therefore does not itself track uptime, temperature, CPU/memory, or physical-layer link status; those live in the CISCO-MAU-EXT-MIB it describes. It is entirely dependent on, and only meaningful in the context of, the standard IETF MAU-MIB defined in RFC 3636 and the CISCO-MAU-EXT-MIB extension. It is typically used during NMS integration to determine whether a Cisco device implements the extended MAU physical-port/transceiver monitoring objects, rather than being polled operationally. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-MAU-EXT-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES module with no runtime data objects, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe; it only enumerates which OBJECT-GROUPs of CISCO-MAU-EXT-MIB the agent implements.
