CISCO-UDP-STD-CAPABILITY

Description: Declares agent capabilities for the standard UDP MIB (RFC 4113) implementation on Cisco IOS and NX-OS 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-UDP-STD-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module declaring the level of conformance Cisco IOS and NX-OS agents provide for the standard UDP-MIB (RFC 4113), which itself provides UDP protocol statistics. As an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module it defines no data objects, tables, or traps of its own — it only specifies which UDP-MIB groups and object variations a Cisco platform supports. Consequently it has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software state; the actual UDP statistics (such as datagrams in/out or listener table entries) would be monitored via the standard UDP-MIB itself, not this capabilities statement. It is entirely dependent on, and only meaningful in conjunction with, the standards-based UDP-MIB (RFC 4113) that it describes conformance for. It is used by network management systems during discovery to determine which UDP-MIB features are supported on a given Cisco IOS/NX-OS device, and engineers can download the CISCO-UDP-STD-CAPABILITY file to load into their MIB browser for reference.

This is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES module with no runtime objects of its own, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe from it directly. A management system would instead read this module to learn which parts of the standard UDP-MIB (e.g., the UDP listener table) are implemented before attempting to poll actual UDP statistics from a Cisco IOS or NX-OS device.
