Description: MIB for Serial over LAN (SOL) configuration in Cisco UCS, managing SOL admin state, baud rate, and policy settings for remote console access on UCS servers
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-SOL-MIB?
CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SOL-MIB is a Cisco UCS MIB managing Serial over LAN (SOL) configuration, the feature that redirects a UCS server's serial console over the network for remote console access (commonly via KVM/IPMI-style tooling). It exposes SOL admin state, baud rate/speed, and policy configuration for individual servers or server pools. Its monitoring relevance is chiefly software/configuration status: confirming SOL is enabled (admin state) where remote console access is expected, and that the baud rate matches what the OS/BIOS on that server expects, which is a common source of garbled or non-functional remote console sessions. It relies on the shared Cisco UCS object-model conventions (Dn, Rn, instance ID, policy level/owner) common to the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-* family. It is used in Cisco UCS domains wherever administrators rely on serial-over-LAN for headless server console access, such as OS installation troubleshooting or BIOS-level debugging, and engineers commonly open a CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SOL-MIB MIB Browser session to confirm the relevant SOL configuration objects.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SOL-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 UCS blade/rack servers
- Cisco UCS Manager managed domains
Monitoring Examples
An operator unable to get a working remote console session would poll cucsSolConfigTable/cucsSolConfigEntry to check cucsSolConfigAdminState (confirming SOL is actually enabled for that server) and cucsSolConfigSpeed against the baud rate the target OS expects — a mismatch here is a classic cause of garbled SOL output. cucsSolConfigName and cucsSolConfigDescr identify which SOL policy is in effect, while cucsSolConfigPolicyOwner clarifies whether the setting is locally overridden or inherited from a service-profile template.
What Can Be Monitored
- SOL admin state (enabled/disabled)
- SOL baud rate/speed setting
- SOL policy name and description
- policy ownership (local vs. inherited)
