Description: Manages and monitors SCTP associations, endpoints, and protocol statistics on Cisco 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.

What Is CISCO-SCTP-MIB?

CISCO-SCTP-MIB is a Cisco MIB module for managing and monitoring the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation on Cisco devices, per its module description. SCTP is a transport-layer protocol used heavily in telecom signaling (e.g., SIGTRAN, Diameter, SS7-over-IP) that supports multi-homed, multi-streamed associations. Its monitoring value is in software/protocol status and performance: tracking SCTP associations and endpoints, their states, and protocol-level statistics such as packet/error counts, which helps detect failed associations, path failures, or abnormal retransmission rates in signaling transport. It is closely tied to the IETF SCTP standard (RFC 4960) and is typically used alongside standard transport/interface MIBs when troubleshooting signaling links. It is deployed on Cisco routers/media gateways acting as SCTP endpoints in telecom signaling networks, and engineers can obtain a CISCO-SCTP-MIB download to load it directly into their MIB browser for reference.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-SCTP-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 router/media gateway with SCTP signaling support

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided in the source for this module, so specific table or object names cannot be verified here. Based on the module description, an administrator would be expected to poll SCTP association and endpoint tables to confirm association state (established vs. failed) and review per-association statistics such as retransmissions or path failures; a rise in retransmissions or an association dropping to a non-established state would indicate a signaling transport problem.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SCTP association state
  • SCTP endpoint status
  • SCTP protocol statistics (packets/errors)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ceSctpCurrEstab OID:

Select a Cisco router/media gateway with SCTP signaling support 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 ceSctpCurrEstab into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of SCTP associations for which the current state is either ESTABLISHED, SHUTDOWN-RECEIVED or SHUTDOWN-PENDING. 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 Counter32-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.
