What Is CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-MIB?

CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-MIB is a Cisco-specific module for provisioning and managing ATM switched permanent virtual connections (SPVCs) on Cisco's WAN ATM switching platforms (MGX and BPX families), covering connection setup via the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA) traffic-contract model. It exposes per-channel/connection configuration—VPI/VCI addressing, service category, traffic-contract-related parameters, and enable flags for statistics collection and continuity-check (CC) monitoring—through the cwAtmChanCnfgTable. As a connection-management MIB its monitoring value centers on ATM connection health and configuration correctness: cwaChanServiceCategory and the local/remote VPI/VCI mapping confirm a connection is provisioned as designed, while cwaChanStatsEnable and cwaChanCCEnable indicate whether performance statistics and OAM continuity-check monitoring are active for detecting connection faults, with cwaChanUploadCounter tracking statistics collection cycles. It builds on the broader ATM Forum traffic-management concepts (GCRA/PCR) and complements Cisco's standard ATM interface MIBs for the physical/ATM layer beneath these connections. It is deployed specifically on Cisco MGX and BPX WAN switches used by service providers for ATM-based backbone and access networking. Engineers standing up monitoring for MGX or BPX switches typically start with a CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-MIB download from Cisco's software center to load the module into their NMS before polling SPVC status.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-WAN-ATM-CONN-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 MGX WAN ATM switch
  • Cisco BPX WAN ATM switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll cwAtmChanCnfgTable/cwAtmChanCnfgEntry, checking cwaChanVpi/cwaChanVci and cwaChanLocalVpi/cwaChanLocalVci to confirm a connection's local-to-network VPI/VCI mapping is correct after provisioning an SPVC. cwaChanCCEnable would be checked to confirm OAM continuity-check monitoring is turned on for a critical connection, since a disabled CC setting would delay fault detection on that circuit. cwaChanStatsEnable and cwaChanUploadCounter together let an operator confirm connection statistics are actively being collected and uploaded, useful when troubleshooting an SPVC reporting cell loss.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ATM connection VPI/VCI configuration
  • connection service category
  • statistics collection enable status
  • continuity check (CC) enable status
  • channel/connection state
