Description: Manages Cisco XGCP (Extended MGCP) protocol configuration and call statistics on media gateways.

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-XGCP-MIB?

CISCO-XGCP-MIB manages Cisco's xGCP (a superset covering SGCP and MGCP) media gateway control protocol configuration and statistics, used where a call agent/Media Gateway Controller (MGC) coordinates a set of media gateways converting between circuit and packet voice/ATM signals in VoIP/VoATM deployments. It exposes configuration for call agent (MGC) group membership and addressing, plus per-media-gateway protocol behavior such as request timeouts, retry counts, and retry methods. Monitoring it centers on the health of the call-control relationship: the MGC configuration table reveals which MGC addresses and UDP ports a gateway is configured to register with, while the media gateway table's request timeout/retry settings and counts help diagnose signaling instability between gateway and controller, excessive retries suggest network or MGC-side problems. It depends on the underlying xGCP/MGCP/SGCP protocol family it manages and complements Cisco's voice gateway hardware MIBs. It is deployed on Cisco voice gateways and media gateway controllers in VoIP/VoATM telephony networks. Engineers can download the CISCO-XGCP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-XGCP-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 VoIP/VoATM media gateway
  • Media Gateway Controller (MGC)/call agent

Monitoring Examples

Polling cXgcpMgcConfigTable/cXgcpMgcConfigEntry, keyed by cXgcpMgcConfigMgcGrpNum, shows the configured cXgcpMgcConfigAddress and cXgcpMgcConfigGatewayUdpPort a gateway uses to reach its call agent; an address mismatch would explain a gateway failing to register with its MGC. cXgcpMediaGwTable/cXgcpMediaGwEntry exposes cXgcpMediaGwRequestTimeOut and cXgcpMediaGwRequestRetries, where rising retry counts against a normally stable baseline indicate degraded signaling connectivity to the call agent. cXgcpNotifications would trap the operator when such failures occur.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MGC address/port configuration
  • gateway registration status
  • request timeout and retry settings
  • retry method/count anomalies

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cXgcpMsgStatsSuccessMessages OID:

Select a Cisco VoIP/VoATM media gateway / Media Gateway Controller (MGC) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cXgcpMsgStatsSuccessMessages into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the number of successful messages that communicate with the MGC on that IP address. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
