CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SW-MIB

Description: MIB for fabric switching management in Cisco UCS, covering VLAN/VSAN configuration, port modes, NetFlow export, and fabric interconnect switching objects

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-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SW-MIB is part of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) management information model, covering the "SW" (switching) domain: fabric interconnect switching behavior, VLAN/VSAN configuration, port modes, and NetFlow export settings. It exposes configuration and operational state data for UCS fabric switching components, including access domains and their finite-state-machine (FSM) task progress, which reflects ongoing configuration or provisioning operations. Its monitoring value includes tracking FSM state/error fields to detect stalled or failed switching configuration tasks, which is effectively a software/process health indicator within the UCS management stack, alongside general fabric switching configuration correctness. It is generated from Cisco UCS Manager's underlying object model and depends on the broader family of CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-* MIBs that share the same DN (distinguished name)-based addressing scheme. It is typically deployed in Cisco UCS blade/rack server environments managed via UCS Manager or UCS Central, monitored through Cisco's UCS-aware NMS tooling. Engineers can download the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-SW-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

Sample objects include cucsSwAccessDomainTable/Entry with fields like cucsSwAccessDomainFsmDescr, cucsSwAccessDomainFsmPrev, cucsSwAccessDomainFsmProgr, cucsSwAccessDomainFsmRmtInvErrCode, and cucsSwAccessDomainFsmRmtInvErrDescr. An administrator would poll cucsSwAccessDomainFsmProgr to track the completion percentage of an access-domain configuration task and check cucsSwAccessDomainFsmRmtInvErrCode for a non-zero value indicating a failed remote invocation. A stalled FsmProgr value combined with a populated FsmRmtInvErrDescr would reveal a failed fabric switching provisioning operation needing administrator intervention.
