Description: Declares agent capability statements for the SNMPv2 protocol management MIB implementation on Cisco 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.
What Is CISCO-SNMPv2-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-SNMPv2-CAPABILITY is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module declaring which objects of the standard SNMPv2-MIB a given Cisco device's SNMP agent implements. It belongs to the Cisco enterprise conformance-module family and, like all capability modules, defines no runtime data objects of its own. It plays no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status; it exists purely to document implementation-level support for core SNMP management objects like system group and SNMP statistics counters. It is explicitly dependent on the IETF SNMPv2-MIB, whose object groups it references. It is used by SNMP management platforms and MIB compilers during agent capability negotiation across the Cisco product line. Engineers can download the CISCO-SNMPv2-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-SNMPv2-CAPABILITY. 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
- Cisco switch
- vendor-neutral SNMPv2-MIB baseline (Cisco-specific capability statement)
Monitoring Examples
This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module with no runtime data objects; it declares which parts of the standard SNMPv2-MIB a Cisco agent supports and does not itself expose monitorable data.
