Description: Manages Cisco Small Business Plug-and-Play (PNP) provisioning for zero-touch switch deployment.

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-PNP?

CISCOSB-PNP is a Cisco Small Business proprietary MIB configuring the Plug-and-Play (PnP) provisioning agent, which lets a new switch automatically discover and download its configuration from a PnP server. Its parameters table records availability, server address type/address (with an owner field indicating whether it was set by DHCP, DNS, or manually), protocol, HTTP/HTTPS ports, username/password, discovery timeout with exponential-backoff factor and max timeout, reconnect timeout, and source-address type — each configuration item paired with an "owner" object recording how it was set. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm how a switch discovered its PnP server (DHCP option vs. manual configuration) before troubleshooting a zero-touch provisioning failure. It is deployed on Cisco Small Business managed switches. Engineers can download the CISCOSB-PNP file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCOSB-PNP. 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 managed switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks rlPNPServerAddrOwner to confirm whether a switch learned its PnP server address via DHCP or manual configuration when zero-touch provisioning fails.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rlPNPTimerRemainder OID:

Select a Cisco Small Business managed switch 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 rlPNPTimerRemainder into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Displays the session/discovery timer remainder. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

rlPNP	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.234			The private MIB module definition for PNP Agent.
rlPNPParamsTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.234.1		not-accessible	The PnP table has unique structure. It contains PnP agent parameters.
