CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares agent capability statements for SONET/SDH interface management MIB on Cisco optical transport 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-SONET-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance module, not a data-bearing MIB, that documents which objects of the standard SONET-MIB (RFC 2558) are actually implemented by SNMP agents on specific Cisco optical transport line cards. It declares per-module capability statements for AXSM, SRME, AXSM-XG, and VXSM/MPSM modules, describing their SONET/SDH interface management support. Because it is purely a conformance declaration it exposes no runtime hardware/software status data itself; it tells a management application what subset of SONET-MIB to expect from a given card type. It is entirely dependent on and scoped against the IETF SONET-MIB (RFC 2558) standard it references. It is used during NMS integration and MIB compliance validation on Cisco multiservice/optical platforms with these modules, not for day-to-day polling. Engineers can download the CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

This module is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES conformance declaration, not a data MIB, so it has no runtime data objects to poll and no realistic monitoring scenario to describe; its only function is to state, per module type (AXSM, SRME, AXSM-XG, VXSM, MPSM), which SONET-MIB groups and objects the Cisco agent supports.

Defines SNMP agent capabilities for SONET/SDH line monitoring on Cisco ATM and service modules.
