What Is OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB?

OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB is a legacy Cisco proprietary MIB dating from early IOS releases, used to manage terminal server line status on Cisco routers acting as async terminal servers. It exposes objects describing the state of asynchronous/tty lines and their associated connections, predating the more modern CISCO-TERMINAL-SERVER-MIB and standard character-MIB approaches. Because it reports per-line operational status, it is useful for monitoring the software/service status of the terminal server function, revealing whether individual async lines are up, busy, idle, or in an error condition. As an old-style Cisco MIB it has no module_desc or sample object data available here, reflecting its age and the fact it has been largely superseded on current IOS platforms. It would typically be found only on legacy Cisco access servers or older IOS deployments still providing async dial-in/terminal server functionality. Engineers can download the OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in OLD-CISCO-TS-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • async line status
  • line connection state

Supported Devices

  • Cisco router with async terminal server ports
  • Cisco access server (legacy IOS)

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were available for this legacy module, so specific object names cannot be grounded here; in practice this MIB exposes per-line state for the router's asynchronous terminal server ports. An administrator would typically poll a line-status table to see which async lines are connected, idle, or down, revealing stuck or failed dial-in sessions. Because it is superseded by newer Cisco terminal server MIBs, modern deployments would generally prefer those instead.
