CISCO-WAN-NCDP-CAPABILITY

Description: Defines agent capability statements for Cisco WAN NCDP (Network Clock Distribution Protocol) management.

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-WAN-NCDP-CAPABILITY is a Cisco AGENT-CAPABILITIES module, not a data-bearing MIB; it formally states which parts of the companion CISCO-WAN-NCDP-MIB (Network Clock Distribution Protocol) a given Cisco agent implementation actually supports. NCDP itself relates to distributing timing/clock signals across Cisco WAN switching platforms such as the IGX/BPX ATM switch family. This capabilities module carries no runtime objects of its own, so it has no direct role in reporting hardware or software status; that data lives in CISCO-WAN-NCDP-MIB itself. It is explicitly dependent on and meaningless without CISCO-WAN-NCDP-MIB, which it describes conformance for. It would be used by network management systems performing MIB/agent conformance checks against Cisco WAN switches rather than by operators doing day-to-day monitoring, making this module primarily a CISCO-WAN-NCDP-CAPABILITY reference for conformance tooling rather than a live monitoring target.

This module is an AGENT-CAPABILITIES statement with no sample data objects, so honestly there is no runtime monitoring scenario to describe here. Its only function is to declare which CISCO-WAN-NCDP-MIB objects and groups a particular Cisco agent version implements, for use by conformance-checking management tools.
