What Is CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-CAPABILITY?
CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES MIB (registered under ciscoAgentCapability) that documents, rather than defines new management objects for, exactly how different WAN switching modules on the MGX/BPX platforms implement CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-MIB. Each AGENT-CAPABILITIES statement (e.g., cwAtmConnCapabilityAxsmV2R0160, cwAtmConnCapabilityAxsmeV3R00, cwAtmConnCapabilityRpmprV3R00, cwAtmConnCapabilityRpmxfV12R02, cwAtmConnCapabilityPxm1eV3R00, cwAtmConnCapabilityBpxsesV3R00, cwAtmConnCapabilityV5R00) is tied to a specific card (AXSM, AXSM-E, RPM-PR, RPM-XF, PXM1-E, BPX SES, MPSM155/VXSM) and software release, and lists VARIATION clauses that narrow the base MIB's cwAtmChanCnfgEntry objects (cwaChanPCR, cwaChanMCR, cwaChanSCR, cwaChanRemotePCR/MCR/SCR, cwaChanCDVT, cwaChanRowStatus, and many ABR/traffic-parameter objects) to restricted SYNTAX ranges, read-only access, or fixed default values on that specific hardware/release combination. As a conformance/capabilities MIB it exposes no live counters itself; its value to operators is in resolving why a particular ATM connection parameter write is rejected or silently clamped on a given card type. It depends on CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-MIB (the base MIB it describes) and CISCO-SMI, and is relevant wherever MGX8850/BPX8600-series ATM switching modules run the associated software release. Cisco WAN engineers consult the CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-CAPABILITY reference to determine which ATM connection parameter ranges a given card/release combination actually supports.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-CAPABILITY. 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 MGX8850/BPX8600-series WAN switches (AXSM, AXSM-E, RPM-PR, RPM-XF, PXM1-E, BPX SES, MPSM155/VXSM modules)
Monitoring Examples
An operator troubleshooting a rejected SET on cwaChanPCR for an AXSM-E card cross-references the cwAtmConnCapabilityAxsmeV3R00 AGENT-CAPABILITIES entry in this MIB, finding the VARIATION restricting cwaChanPCR to Unsigned32(7..1412830); a configured PCR value outside that restricted range on that specific card/release would explain the SET failure without indicating a broader connection fault.
What Can Be Monitored
- per-card-type supported PCR/MCR/SCR value ranges
- per-card-type ABR parameter support and defaults
- row-status value support (createAndWait exclusion) per card
- read-only vs. writable object variations per module/release
- which base MIB groups (INCLUDES) each capability statement supports
