Description: Declares agent capabilities for Cisco TelePresence video conferencing system management.
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-TELEPRESENCE-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module declaring exactly which parts of the companion CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-MIB are implemented on a given Cisco TelePresence System (CTS) software release, confirming the hint's description. It defines a single ciscoTelepresenceCapabilityCTSV120 entry for CTS 1.4.0 that INCLUDES the configuration, peripheral-status, event-history, notification, RS-232 peripheral-status, and peripheral-attribute groups from the base MIB, while a long series of VARIATION clauses mark objects like ctpPeripheralErrorHistoryIndex, ctpSysUserAuthFailSourceAddr, and ctpSysUserAuthFailUserName as not-implemented on this release, and cap the size of ctpPeripheralErrorHistTableSize and ctpSysUserAuthFailHistTableSize to zero. As a capabilities file it exposes no pollable data of its own; its purpose is to tell a MIB-browsing tool or NMS which video-conferencing-endpoint monitoring objects are actually supported before attempting to poll them. It depends entirely on CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-MIB and the CISCO-SMI enterprise tree, and it is deployed alongside Cisco TelePresence System video-conferencing endpoints in enterprise videoconferencing deployments; administrators can consult the CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-CAPABILITY reference to avoid polling unsupported peripheral-error or auth-failure history tables.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-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 TelePresence System (CTS) video-conferencing endpoints
Monitoring Examples
Before building a poller against a Cisco TelePresence endpoint, an operator checks CISCO-TELEPRESENCE-CAPABILITY's VARIATION clauses and sees ctpPeripheralErrorHistoryIndex marked not-implemented; attempting to walk that table on CTS 1.4.0 would correctly return no data rather than indicating a peripheral fault, since the capability was never supported on that release.
What Can Be Monitored
- supported configuration/peripheral-status/event-history object groups
- peripheral error history support (size/index)
- system user authentication-failure history support
- RS-232 peripheral status support
