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-PORT-MIB?
ME1200-PORT-MIB is a Cisco private MIB for the ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch that manages physical port configuration and operational status. It exposes per-port configuration data such as administrative shutdown state, speed, duplex, media type, flow control, and MTU, alongside a companion port information/status table. This MIB is heavily used for hardware status monitoring, tracking whether a port is administratively shut down versus faulted, verifying negotiated speed/duplex against expectations, and watching the excessive-restart counter that flags a flapping link caused by a bad cable or transceiver. It complements the standard IF-MIB by adding these vendor-specific port attributes, indexed consistently by ifIndex. It is deployed for routine port-level health monitoring on any ME1200 switch in metro access deployments. Engineers can download the ME1200-PORT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-PORT-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 ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
Polling me1200PortConfigTable via me1200PortConfigIfIndex reads me1200PortConfigSpeed, me1200PortConfigDuplex, and me1200PortConfigMediaType against expected values. A rising me1200PortConfigExcessiveRestart counter signals a flapping or unstable link, often a failing SFP or cable. Cross-checking me1200PortConfigShutdown against me1200PortInformationTable confirms whether a down port is intentionally administratively disabled versus genuinely faulted.
What Can Be Monitored
- port admin shutdown state
- negotiated speed and duplex
- media type per port
- flow control setting
- MTU size
- excessive restart/link flap count
