CISCO-OSPF-CAPABILITY

Description: Agent capabilities declarations for OSPF MIB support on Cisco IOS devices, documenting implemented OSPF object groups and read-only access variations

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-OSPF-CAPABILITY is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module documenting which parts of the standard OSPF-MIB a Cisco IOS agent implementation supports, including read-only variations on certain objects. OSPF is the IETF link-state interior gateway routing protocol, so this module concerns Cisco's SNMP support for OSPF routing configuration and state. As a capabilities declaration it defines no objects or traps of its own and therefore exposes no runtime data for hardware or software status monitoring. It is entirely dependent on the standards-based OSPF-MIB (RFC 4750/1850) whose support it describes. Such modules are used by management systems and MIB compilers to know, per Cisco device/IOS release, exactly which OSPF-MIB objects and access levels are actually implemented. Engineers can download the CISCO-OSPF-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module, so it defines no pollable objects itself; it only documents which OSPF-MIB groups and object variations (e.g., read-only access) a given Cisco IOS agent supports, and so it does not provide a runtime monitoring scenario on its own.
