Description: Handles configuration and status for the Cisco WAN Media Gateway (MG), which converts voice traffic between PSTN and IP.

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-WAN-MG-MIB?

CISCO-WAN-MG-MIB is a Cisco vendor module for managing Media Gateways (MGs) — devices that convert PSTN voice circuits to IP/VoIP traffic under control of a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) using protocols like MGCP. It exposes the gateway's administrative state and state-control objects, a graceful-shutdown grace timer, a table of supported signaling protocols, and a table of associated MGCs with a configured maximum concurrent-MGC limit. Its monitoring role is centered on software/hardware status of the voice gateway — whether it is in service, shutting down gracefully, and properly registered to its controller(s) — which is critical for detecting call-setup failures caused by a lost MGC session or an unexpected administrative shutdown. It depends on the surrounding MGCP/media-gateway control framework (RFC 3435-era MGCP concepts) referenced in its terminology. Loading the module into a CISCO-WAN-MG-MIB MIB Browser makes it easy to walk mgAdministrativeState and the mgcTable interactively, and it is deployed in carrier and enterprise VoIP gateway environments bridging traditional PSTN trunks to IP telephony infrastructure.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-WAN-MG-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 WAN Media Gateway (VoIP-to-PSTN voice gateway)

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll mgAdministrativeState and mgAdministrativeStateControl for a given mgName to confirm the gateway is in service, checking mgShutdownGraceTime if a graceful shutdown is in progress. They would also inspect mgcTable/mgcEntry against maxConcurrentMgcs to verify the gateway still has an active mgcNumber controller session, since a lost MGC association would explain calls failing to set up through that gateway.

What Can Be Monitored

  • media gateway administrative state
  • graceful shutdown timer
  • supported signaling protocols (e.g. MGCP)
  • associated media gateway controller(s)
  • concurrent MGC session count
