Description: Reports Power-On Self-Test (POST) results on Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switches.
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-POST-MIB?
ME1200-POST-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Cisco for the ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch family, dedicated to reporting Power-On Self-Test (POST) results for hardware components. It exposes a per-switch hardware component table covering built-in self-test (BIST) results for the switching chip and its TCAM ingress/egress slices, DDR memory test, EEPROM test, and a separate per-interface POST status table. Its monitoring value is directly hardware-health focused: revealing whether critical chip-level self-tests (TCAM, DDR, EEPROM) passed at boot, which is essential for catching failing silicon or memory before it causes production faults. It appears to be a private, switch-specific module without heavy dependency on other MIBs beyond standard Cisco private enterprise conventions. It is deployed on Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switches used in service-provider access networks. Engineers can download the ME1200-POST-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-POST-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 switches
Monitoring Examples
After a reboot, an administrator would poll me1200PostStatusHwComponentTable/me1200PostStatusHwComponentEntry rows keyed by me1200PostStatusHwComponentSwitchId to check me1200PostStatusHwComponentHwBist, me1200PostStatusHwComponentTcamBistIs0 through Is2/Es0, me1200PostStatusHwComponentDdr, and me1200PostStatusHwComponentEeprom for pass/fail results. A failure reported in me1200PostStatusHwComponentDdr or one of the TCAM BIST results would indicate a hardware memory or forwarding-chip fault requiring RMA, while me1200PostStatusInterfaceTable provides parallel POST results per physical interface.
What Can Be Monitored
- switch chip BIST result
- TCAM ingress/egress self-test results
- DDR memory self-test result
- EEPROM self-test result
- per-interface POST status
- POST mode configuration
