Description: Monitors Cisco Service Discovery Gateway multicast DNS (mDNS) service advertisement and querying for IoT environments.

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-SDG-MDNS-MIB?

CISCO-SDG-MDNS-MIB is a Cisco Systems, Inc. proprietary MIB reporting mDNS (multicast DNS) Service Discovery Gateway (SDG) statistics, global or per-interface, spanning LAN and WAN mDNS relay. Its statistics table, keyed by interface, records mDNS/IPv4/IPv6 packets sent, IPv4/IPv6 advertisement/query counts sent, unicast-sent count, rate-limited/received packet counts, advertisements/queries received (with IPv4/IPv6 breakdowns), dropped-packet count, and gateway state, alongside a cache-statistics table (interface, service-type count). As a performance MIB it lets an administrator watch mDNS relay traffic volume and dropped-packet rate on a Cisco SDG gateway. It is deployed on Cisco Systems mDNS Service Discovery Gateway platforms. Engineers can download the CISCO-SDG-MDNS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-SDG-MDNS-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 Systems mDNS Service Discovery Gateway platforms

Monitoring Examples

An administrator monitors csmPakDropped and csmMdnsGatewayState to confirm the mDNS Service Discovery Gateway is healthy and not dropping packets on Cisco equipment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • mDNS relay traffic statistics and gateway state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using csmCntrlTotalBCPMsgSent OID:

Select a Cisco mDNS Service Discovery Gateway platform 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 csmCntrlTotalBCPMsgSent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the total BCP message sent by SDG agent to APIC-EM controller. 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.
