Description: Defines XGCP (Extended MGCP) gateway control protocol connection state and media gateway 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 XGCP-MIB?

XGCP-MIB is a proprietary MIB (submitted as an IETF draft under the name XGCP-MIB) managing XGCP (a gateway-control protocol in the MGCP/MEGACO family) implementations. Its objects cover bad-version count, request timeout/retries, admin/operational status, unrecognized-packet count, a message-statistics table (IP address, success/fail message counts), restart-in-progress/delay (MWD — Method/When/Delay), MGC (Media Gateway Controller) config address/UDP port/connection status/timestamp, a capability-package table (name, enable flag), default package, and packet-loss/jitter lower/upper bounds. As a configuration/performance MIB it lets an administrator confirm XGCP connection status to the media gateway controller and watch call-signaling message success rates on an XGCP-capable gateway. It is deployed on XGCP-capable media-gateway equipment. Engineers can download the XGCP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XGCP-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

  • XGCP-capable media-gateway equipment

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks xgcpMGCCfgConnStatus and xgcpFailMessages to confirm connectivity to the media gateway controller and watch signaling failures on an XGCP-capable gateway.

What Can Be Monitored

  • XGCP connection status and call-signaling message success rates

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using xgcpInBadVersions OID:

Select a XGCP-capable media-gateway equipment (MGC connection/message-statistics status) 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 xgcpInBadVersions into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of incoming messages which were delivered to the protocol entity and were for an unsupported protocol version. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in messages), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
