IETF and Cisco MIBs

This chapter is for Administrators working with integrating the Starent MIB and the Cisco MIB so Cisco management applications can manage the ASR 5x00 chassis. It provides some new configuration options; there is also a list of supported Cisco MIBs.

New CLI Options

The following are new CLI options:

sysOId Options

The default OId string is 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.

The new-style Cisco OId string is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.

Using the following CLI, ASR 5000 users can choose which string they prefer:[local]asr5000(config)# system sysoid-style new|default

IMPORTANT:

ASR 5500 users do not have this option as the Cisco OId String is the default.

IMPORTANT:

This command can be combined with sysdesc as follows:system sysdesc-sysoid-style new|defaultHowever, this combination affects BOTH sysDesc AND sysOId equally: that is, they can both be old-style or they can both be new-style. The System CLI offers an option to configure sysDesc independently, but SysOId is not a user-configurable parameter.

sysDesc Options

For ASR 5000 users, the default system description is:

Linux asr5000 2.6.18-staros-v2-private-deb #1
SMP (date/time) i686

The Cisco default system description is:

Cisco StarOS Software,
ASR5000 Intelligent Mobile Gateway, Version 12.2. Copyright (c)
2011 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Users can opt for either description using the following CLI command: [local]asr5000(config)# system sysdesc-style new|default

IMPORTANT:

This CLI will not be available to ASR 5500 users; it will default to the Cisco description only.

IMPORTANT:

This command can be combined with sysOId as follows:system sysdesc-sysoid-style new|defaultHowever, this combination affects BOTH sysDesc AND sysOId equally: that is, they can both be old-style or they can both be new-style. The System CLI offers an option to configure sysDesc independently, but SysOId is not a user-configurable parameter.

Serial Number Configuration

ASR 5000 users can configure the chassis serial number with the following CLI:

[local]asr5000(config)# system chassis-serial-number <string>

IMPORTANT:

This CLI is not available for ASR 5500 users as the chassis serial number is hard-coded.

Standards-Based MIBs

The following are standards-based, read-only, and available from the Cisco MIB ftp site.

IF-MIB and ENTITY-MIB are disabled by default.

Configuration

MIBs can be configured using the following CLI:

[local]asr5000(config)# snmp mib <mib-name, auto complete> | no snmp mib <mib-name, auto complete>

Entity MIB

The Entity MIB is implemented as described in RFC4133. The following are not supported for this release:

  • entPhysicalAlias
  • entPhysicalAssetID
  • entPhysicalMfgDate
  • entPhysicalUris
  • entLogicalTable
  • entLPMappingTable
  • entPhysicalContainsTable

IF MIB

The IF MIB is implemented per RFC1213, RFC1573, and RFC2863. The following are not supported for this release:

  • ifStackTable
  • ifStackLastChange
  • ifRcvAddressTable
  • ifTestTable

Cisco MIBS

The following is a list of supported Cisco MIBs for this release. These are available from the Cisco ftp site.

Configuration

MIBs can be configured using the following CLI:

[local]asr5000(config)# snmp mib <mib-name, auto complete> | no snmp mib <mib-name, auto complete>

Cisco MIBs

The following MIBs are supported in this release. They can be enabled/disabled as required.

  • CISCO-ENTITY-STATE-MIB
  • CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB
  • CISCO-PROCESS_MIB
  • CISCO-MOBILE-WIRELESS-SERVICE-MIB
  • CISCO-HOST-RESOURCE-MIB

    IMPORTANT:

    CISCO-HOST-RESOURCE-MIB is per the appropriate RFC, but limited to hrSystem and hrStorage tables.

  • CISCO-ENTITY-DISPLAY-MIB
  • CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB
