Description: MIB for virtual NIC and vHBA management in Cisco UCS, covering Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SCSI, and IPC interface templates and policies for UCS server profiles

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-VNIC-MIB?

CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB is part of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) management information model and covers virtual NIC (vNIC) and virtual HBA (vHBA) management, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SCSI, and IPC interface templates and policies used within UCS server profiles. It exposes configuration objects such as boot IP policies, vNIC templates, boot target definitions, and the association of these policies to specific service profiles, reflecting how virtual network and storage interfaces are provisioned for blade/rack servers in a UCS domain. Its monitoring value lies in verifying software-defined infrastructure configuration and policy consistency rather than raw traffic counters: an administrator can confirm that boot IP policies and vNIC boot targets are correctly assigned to a service profile, which is essential for stateless server boot-from-SAN/PXE workflows, and detect policy ownership or naming mismatches that would prevent a server from booting correctly. This MIB is one module within Cisco's broader UCS MIB family and depends on shared UCS management-information-model conventions (distinguished names, relative names, managed object hierarchy) used across other CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-* MIBs. It is typically deployed in Cisco UCS blade/rack server environments for monitoring service-profile-based virtual interface provisioning in data centers. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-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) blade/rack servers and fabric interconnects

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cucsVnicBootIpPolicyTable entries, using cucsVnicBootIpPolicyName, cucsVnicBootIpPolicyDn, and cucsVnicBootIpPolicyPolicyOwner to confirm which boot IP policy is bound to a given service profile and who owns/manages that policy. Checking cucsVnicBootTargetTable alongside the boot IP policy reveals whether the intended PXE/iSCSI boot target is correctly configured for a server profile. A service profile referencing a boot IP policy with an unexpected cucsVnicBootIpPolicyPolicyLevel or missing pool name would reveal a provisioning error likely to cause a server boot failure.

What Can Be Monitored

  • vNIC boot IP policy assignment
  • boot target configuration
  • policy ownership and level
  • service profile vNIC/vHBA template association
