Description: Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch MIB defining IP interface, routing, and address management objects.

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 ME1200-IP-MIB?

This is a Cisco-specific private MIB for the Cisco ME 1200 Metro Ethernet access switch, defining IP-layer capability, configuration, and interface objects for the device's routing and IP addressing functions. It exposes a capabilities branch describing what IPv4/IPv6 host and unicast routing features (including hardware-accelerated routing) the platform supports and its scaling limits (max IP interfaces, max static routes, LPM hardware table entries), alongside a configuration branch for enabling routing globally and managing IPv6 interface tables. Its relevance to monitoring is centered on software/configuration status: an operator can confirm whether IP unicast routing (and hardware-assisted routing) is actually enabled via me1200IpConfigGlobalsMainEnableRouting, check IPv6 interface configuration state via me1200IpConfigInterfacesIpv6Table, and verify the device isn't approaching its documented static-route or hardware LPM table capacity limits, which would manifest as routing failures if exceeded. It is a private extension MIB layered on Cisco's ME1200 platform architecture and would typically be used alongside standard IP-MIB/IF-MIB objects for full IP interface visibility. It is typically deployed on Cisco ME 1200 Metro Ethernet switches in service-provider access networks where operators need to verify IP routing capability and interface configuration for the device's Layer 3 features. Engineers can download the ME1200-IP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-IP-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 ME 1200 Metro Ethernet access switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would check me1200IpCapabilitiesHasIpv4UnicastHwRoutingCapabilities and me1200IpCapabilitiesMaxNumberOfStaticRoutes to understand the device's Layer 3 feature ceiling, then poll me1200IpConfigGlobalsMainEnableRouting to confirm IP routing is actually turned on and me1200IpConfigInterfacesIpv6Table/Entry to review configured IPv6 interfaces. If the number of configured static routes approaches me1200IpCapabilitiesMaxNumberOfStaticRoutes or me1200IpCapabilitiesNumberOfLpmHardwareEntries, that signals the switch is nearing its hardware routing table capacity and new routes could fail to install in hardware.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPv4/IPv6 routing capability flags
  • max static routes and LPM hardware table capacity
  • global IP routing enable/disable state
  • IPv6 interface configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using me1200IpStatisticsGlobalsIpv4HCInReceives OID:

Select a Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch (IP routing capability/config) 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 me1200IpStatisticsGlobalsIpv4HCInReceives into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of input IP datagrams received, including those received in error. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
