Description: Manages Cisco Small Business Bonjour protocol settings for mDNS service discovery on the switch.

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 CISCOSB-BONJOUR-MIB?

CISCOSB-BONJOUR-MIB is a Cisco Small Business private MIB for managing Bonjour (mDNS) service discovery settings on Cisco Small Business switches. Its scope, per the available object, centers on a publish-control setting (rlBonjourPublish) that governs whether the switch advertises itself via Bonjour/mDNS on the local network. This is a lightweight configuration/software-status MIB rather than a hardware or performance monitoring one: it lets an admin confirm whether mDNS advertisement is enabled, which affects device discoverability by Bonjour-aware management tools. It has no significant dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMPv2 SMI conventions. It is deployed in Cisco Small Business switch environments where zero-configuration network discovery via Bonjour is used for device management convenience. Engineers can download the CISCOSB-BONJOUR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCOSB-BONJOUR-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 Small Business switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check the rlBonjourPublish object to confirm whether Bonjour advertisement is enabled or disabled on a given Cisco Small Business switch. If a management tool relying on mDNS discovery fails to find the switch, checking rlBonjourPublish would quickly reveal whether the feature was administratively disabled rather than indicating a network fault. Given the very small sample_objects set, this module appears narrowly scoped to that single control.

What Can Be Monitored

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
rlBonjour	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114			The private MIB module definition for Bonjour protocol.
INT rlBonjourPublish	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.1	INTEGER	read-write	Enables or disables Bonjour publishing.
rlBonjourStatusTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2		not-accessible	The table listing the service bonjour status per service and IP interface. In order to keep the table sorted according to the customary lexicographical order of the rlBonjourStatusServiceName strings, rlBonjourStatusServiceName will be padded with blanks. Bonjour will truncate the padded blanks when advertising this service name. Using this MIB user can monitor actual state of a service on an IP interface
rlBonjourStatusEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2.1		not-accessible	An entry in the rlBonjourStatusEntry.
STR rlBonjourStatusServiceName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2.1.1	DisplayString	not-accessible	This variable identifies the service name.
IPt rlBonjourStatusIPInterfaceType	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2.1.2	InetAddressType	not-accessible	This variable indicates the type of the IP interface on which the Bonjour service should be published.
IP rlBonjourStatusIPInterfaceAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2.1.3	InetAddress	not-accessible	This variable indicates the address of the IP interface on which the Bonjour service should be published.
RLB rlBonjourStatusState	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.2.1.4	RlBonjourServiceState	read-only	This variable identifies the service state on IP interface of the device.
rlBonjourStateTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3		not-accessible	The table listing the service bonjour state per service and L2 interface. The services that are displayed here are only those who are supported per project. The L2 interfaces that are displayed here are either: L2 interfaces with an IP on it OR L2 interfaces listed in the table below Per each pair (service and L2 interface) table displays: state : UP - Bonjour published the service on this L2 interface Not-exclude - the L2 interface has IP address (L2 interface is in UP state) AND rlBonjourL2Table is empty AND rlBonjourL2Mode is disable include - the L2 interfaces are listed in the table rlBonjourL2Table AND rlBonjourL2Mode is enabled Down - Bonjour sent goodbye packets regarding this service on this L2 interface exclude - the L2 interface is a member of the rlBonjourL2Table AND rlBonjourL2Mode is disable Not-Include - rlBonjourL2Table is empty AND rlBonjourL2Mode is enable service disabled - service was removed ue to specific request from L1 manager No IP address - the L2 interfaces is listed in the table rlBonjourL2EnableTable BUT don't have an IP on it Not-present - the L2 interfaces is listed in the table rlBonjourL2EnableTable BUT no yet defined (like vlan not created or port in an unconnected salve) Bonjour disabled - rlBonjourPublish scalar is off Using this MIB user can monitor actual state of a service on an IP interface
rlBonjourStateEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3.1		not-accessible	An entry in the rlBonjourStatusEntry.
STR rlBonjourStateServiceName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3.1.1	DisplayString	not-accessible	This variable identifies the service name.
NUM rlBonjourStateL2Interface	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3.1.2	InterfaceIndex	not-accessible	This variable indicates the L2 interface on which the Bonjour service should be published.
RLB rlBonjourStateOperationMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3.1.3	RlBonjourOperationState	read-only	This variable indicates wether Bonjour is operational on the pair (service + L2 interface).
RLB rlBonjourStateOperationReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.3.1.4	RlBonjourOperationReason	read-only	This variable specifies the reason of the previous field: rlBonjourStateOperationMode.
rlBonjourL2Table	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.4		not-accessible	The table listing the L2 interfaces on which the user wishes to enable OR disable Bonjour with respect to rlBonjourL2Mode. If rlBonjourL2Mode is set to include AND L2 interface is in this table it does not ensure Bonjour WILL publish services on it. Publication is also dependent on these fundemental conditions: rlBonjourPublish must be on at least one service should be enabled L2 must be present and UP have at least one IP on it If this table is empty AND rlBonjourL2Mode is set to include Bonjour won't operate at all. If rlBonjourL2Mode is set to exclude, and rlBonjourL2Table is empty Bonjour will be published on ALL L2 interfaces answering to the fundemental conditions specified above. If rlBonjourL2Table is NOT empty then Bonjour will operate on ALL L2 interfaces answering to the fundemental conditions specified above BUT NOT members of this list.
rlBonjourL2Entry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.4.1		not-accessible	An entry in the rlBonjourL2Entry.
NUM rlBonjourL2Ifindex	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.4.1.1	InterfaceIndex	not-accessible	This variable identifies the L2 interface.
ROW rlBonjourL2RowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.4.1.2	RowStatus	read-write	This variable identifies the L2 interface status manager.
INT rlBonjourL2Mode	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.5	INTEGER	read-write	specify whether the L2 interfaces listed in rlBonjourL2Table means include bonjour on these L2 interfaces once they: rlBonjourPublish must be on at least one service should be enabled L2 must be present and UP have at least one IP on it OR exclude bonjour on these L2 interfaces even if they answer to all the conditions above.
INT rlBonjourInstanceName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.6	INTEGER	read-only	Instance Name is given to Bonjour driver by the project part (L1Manager) When a conflict occurs: found another station with the same instance name. Bonjour driver is required to append _m to the given name while m is an incremental integer, increasing on each conflict
INT rlBonjourHostName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.114.7	INTEGER	read-only	Host Name is given to Bonjour driver by the project part (L1Manager) When a conflict occurs: found another station with the same host name. Bonjour driver is required to append _m to the given name while m is an incremental integer, increasing on each conflict
