Description: Manages mobile policy and charging control (PCC) rules and sessions for Cisco mobile packet core elements.

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-MOBILE-POLICY-CHARGING-CONTROL-MIB?

CISCO-MOBILE-POLICY-CHARGING-CONTROL-MIB manages the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) function on Cisco mobile packet-core gateways, covering the Gx (3GPP) and Ty (3GPP2) interfaces between the PCEF gateway element and the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). It exposes configuration/enablement flags for error notifications and, more importantly, global statistics counters for Diameter Credit-Control and Re-Authorization message exchange (CCR/CCA/RAR/RAA). It supports monitoring the software/protocol health of the mobile gateway's policy-charging subsystem — counters like cmpccgsCCRFailures and message-sent/received totals reveal whether the gateway is successfully negotiating policy and charging rules with the PCRF, a leading indicator of session-establishment or billing problems. It explicitly depends on and complements 3GPP Gx/3GPP2 Ty standards and the underlying Diameter protocol used for PCC signaling. Typical deployment is on Cisco mobile packet-core elements (GGSN/PDN gateways) serving 3G UMTS, 4G LTE, 4G WiMax, or CDMA mobile networks, where operators typically begin with a CISCO-MOBILE-POLICY-CHARGING-CONTROL-MIB download to integrate these objects into their NMS.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-MOBILE-POLICY-CHARGING-CONTROL-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 mobile packet-core gateways (GGSN/PDN gateway)

Monitoring Examples

An engineer would poll cmpccGlobalStatsTable/cmpccGlobalStatsTableEntry for cmpccgsTotalSessions alongside cmpccgsCCRInitialSent, cmpccgsCCRUpdateSent, and cmpccgsCCRFinalSent to confirm the expected volume of Credit-Control-Request messages is flowing for active PCC sessions. A rising cmpccgsCCRFailures counter relative to cmpccgsCCARecd (Credit-Control-Answers received) would indicate the PCRF is rejecting or failing to respond to rule requests, pointing to a Gx/Ty signaling problem. Enabling cmpccPreloadErrorNotifEnabled and cmpccPreloadRollbackFailedNotifEnabled lets the gateway raise traps when a policy rule preload or rollback operation fails.

What Can Be Monitored

  • total PCC sessions
  • CCR initial/update/final messages sent
  • CCA and RAR messages received
  • RAA messages sent
  • CCR failure count
  • policy preload/rollback failure notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cmpccgsCCRInitialSent OID:

Select a Cisco mobile packet-core gateway (GGSN/PDN gateway) 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 cmpccgsCCRInitialSent 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 total number of CCR-Initial sent. 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 Counter64-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.
