CISCO-RF-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares SNMP agent capabilities for Redundancy Framework stateful switchover on Cisco routing platforms.

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-RF-CAPABILITY is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module, not a data-bearing MIB, that documents which parts of the CISCO-RF-MIB (Cisco Redundancy Framework) a given SNMP agent implements. It belongs to the Cisco IOS high-availability/stateful-switchover technology area and exists purely to declare implementation conformance for the RF-MIB's stateful switchover objects. It exposes no runtime data itself, so it cannot be polled to check uptime, temperature, CPU/memory, or any other operational status; instead it is consumed by network management systems to determine, at MIB-compilation or capability-discovery time, which RF-MIB features a particular router's agent supports. It is entirely dependent on CISCO-RF-MIB, which is the actual data module for redundancy/switchover state. It applies to Cisco IOS platforms (introduced with IOS 12.1) that support dual Route Processor or dual Supervisor stateful switchover redundancy. Engineers can download the CISCO-RF-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 honestly; it only informs an NMS which CISCO-RF-MIB objects the agent supports.
