CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TOP-MIB

Description: MIB for top-level managed object policies in Cisco UCS, managing information policy and sync policy at the root of the UCS object hierarchy

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-TOP-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB that is part of Cisco's large UCS (Unified Computing System) MIB family, modeling the top-level ('root') object hierarchy of the UCS management information model, specifically information policy and time-synchronization (sync) policy objects that apply system-wide. It exposes configuration data such as policy distinguished names (Dn), relative names (Rn), instance identifiers, administrative state, and descriptive text for these root-level policies rather than hardware sensor readings. Its monitoring role is primarily around software/configuration status: administrators can verify that key system-wide policies (like clock/NTP sync policy) are correctly provisioned and in the expected state, which indirectly affects the accuracy of time-stamped logs and coordinated hardware/software status reporting across the whole UCS domain. It is tightly coupled to the broader Cisco UCS MIB suite, since UCS's naming (Dn/Rn) and object model conventions are shared across dozens of CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-*-MIB modules describing chassis, blades, fabric interconnects, and more. It is deployed exclusively on Cisco UCS Manager-managed domains (blade server chassis and fabric interconnects) in data center compute environments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TOP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would query cucsTopInfoPolicyTable (cucsTopInfoPolicyEntry, keyed by cucsTopInfoPolicyInstanceId, with cucsTopInfoPolicyDn/cucsTopInfoPolicyRn identifying the managed object and cucsTopInfoPolicyState showing its state) to confirm the UCS domain's root information policy is active. Similarly, cucsTopInfoSyncPolicyTable (cucsTopInfoSyncPolicyEntry with cucsTopInfoSyncPolicyDescr) would be checked to verify the system's clock synchronization policy is correctly configured, since a misconfigured sync policy state would cause time drift across UCS-managed blades and fabric interconnects, undermining correlated log/event timestamps domain-wide.
