Description: MIB for external management interface monitoring on Cisco UCS, managing ARP/NDisc reachability probes, gateway ping policies, MII link status retries, and out-of-band network interface health

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-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EXTMGMT-MIB?

CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EXTMGMT-MIB is a Cisco MIB (ciscoUnifiedComputingMIBObjects 57) that models the EXTMGMT (external management interface) package of the Cisco UCS Manager information model, covering how a UCS fabric interconnect's management network reachability is verified and monitored. It exposes cucsExtmgmtArpTargetsTable and cucsExtmgmtNdiscTargetsTable (ARP and IPv6 neighbor-discovery probe targets, each with a maxDeadlineTimeout and number-of-requests policy plus up to three target IP addresses), cucsExtmgmtGatewayPingTable (gateway reachability ping policy, again with a max deadline timeout and request count), cucsExtmgmtMiiStatusTable (MII link-status retry policy — maxRetryCount, retryInterval), and cucsExtmgmtIfTable/cucsExtmgmtIfMonPolicyTable for out-of-band network interface state and monitoring-mechanism configuration. Because every object is generated from the UCS management information model (each table carries a CucsManagedObjectDn distinguished name and CucsAaaConfigState), the MIB is really a machine-readable reflection of UCS's own external-connectivity health checks rather than hand-built counters. It depends on CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-MIB for the parent object tree and CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB for its typed textual conventions. Teams evaluating a CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EXTMGMT-MIB download can use these tables to confirm ARP, IPv6 discovery, gateway ping, and MII link checks are configured and passing on their UCS fabric interconnects.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EXTMGMT-MIB. 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 Unified Computing System (UCS) fabric interconnects and integrated management controllers

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls cucsExtmgmtGatewayPingMaxDeadlineTimeout and cucsExtmgmtMiiStatusRetryInterval alongside cucsExtmgmtIfMonPolicyAdminState to confirm out-of-band management-network health checks are enabled and correctly tuned; a monitoring policy showing enabled while the associated interface repeatedly fails its MII or gateway-ping checks would indicate a flapping or unreachable UCS management uplink.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ARP and IPv6 neighbor-discovery probe target configuration
  • gateway ping policy (timeout, request count)
  • MII link-status retry policy
  • out-of-band management interface status
  • interface monitoring policy admin state and mechanism
