CISCO-PAGP-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares agent capabilities for the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) used in Cisco EtherChannel link bundling.

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-PAGP-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module that documents which parts of the CISCO-PAGP-MIB a particular agent implementation supports, rather than a MIB defining its own management objects. PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol) is Cisco's proprietary protocol for negotiating EtherChannel link bundles between switches. As a conformance/capabilities module it exposes no monitorable runtime data itself; its purpose is purely to declare implementation conformance for network management tool compatibility checks. It exists solely as a companion to CISCO-PAGP-MIB, which is where actual PAgP channel-group status and configuration objects would be found. It is relevant wherever Cisco switches running PAgP-based EtherChannel are managed, but the capability module itself is an SNMP-agent development/conformance artifact rather than an operational monitoring tool. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-PAGP-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module with no runtime data objects of its own (no sample objects were present in the source), so there is no monitoring scenario to describe; actual PAgP channel status and configuration would be polled from the referenced CISCO-PAGP-MIB instead.
