Description: Declares agent capabilities for hardware rate limiter and policer management on Cisco Catalyst switch 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-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-CAPABILITY?
This is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module documenting which parts of CISCO-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-MIB a given switch's SNMP agent supports, used for hardware rate-limiter and policer management on Cisco Catalyst-class platforms. As a capabilities module it defines no runtime scalars or tables, so it exposes no interface, environment, or performance-counter data of its own. It therefore has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status - no uptime, temperature, CPU, fan, or rate-limiter counters are carried here, only feature-support metadata. Its sole notable dependency is on CISCO-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-MIB, which it describes. It is used by management systems and MIB compilers to determine per-device rate-limiter feature support rather than being polled operationally. Engineers can download the CISCO-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-CAPABILITY file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-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 Catalyst switches (rate-limiter/policer-capable platforms)
Monitoring Examples
This module is a conformance/AGENT-CAPABILITIES declaration with no runtime data objects (sample_objects is empty), so there is no monitoring scenario to describe; it is only consulted to determine which groups of CISCO-SWITCH-RATE-LIMITER-MIB a given agent implements.
