The Cisco® Digital Media Suite (DMS) is a comprehensive offering of webcasting and video sharing, digital signage, and business IPTV applications that can help transform how organizations learn, grow, communicate, and collaborate. Support from the broad Cisco partner ecosystem of deployment, solution-development, and content-creation partners helps ensure a successful digital media implementation.
The Cisco SNMP Notification Module is a software management module option for the Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM).
Cisco SNMP Notification Module
The Cisco SNMP Notification Module of the Cisco Digital Media Manager provides the ability for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based network management applications to access a variety of Cisco DMS configuration and status information as well as accept various Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) status alert messages through the SNMP protocol.
With the Cisco SNMP Notification Module, network administrators can access critical configuration, inventory, and licensing information about various Cisco Digital Media Suite applications and products. Network administrators can also subscribe to and receive important Cisco Digital Media Player status alerts that facilitate a timely and proactive response to potential operating problems.
Note: The Cisco Digital Media Manager server provides the Cisco Digital Media Player alerts through SNMP. There is currently no direct Cisco Digital Media Player SNMP support.
SNMP Module Queries
The Cisco SNMP Notification Module provides read-only access to three different types of SNMP MIB groups, including (refer to Figure 1):
• Cisco DMS System Group: Overall version information for the Cisco Digital Media Suite of systems
• Cisco DMS Features Group: Information about all the current Cisco Digital Media Suite licenses, including module names and license limits

Cisco Digital Media Player Status Alerts
The Cisco Digital Media Manager (Figure 2) includes an administrator console that allows you to define alert-notification actions for various application and Cisco Digital Media Player events. The Cisco SNMP Notification Module interfaces with the Cisco Digital Media Manager administrator console and provides various Cisco Digital Media Player alerts to a SNMP console server or browser, including:
• DMP Up: A new or existing Cisco Digital Media Player becomes operational.
• DMP Down: A Cisco Digital Media Player is not accessible and inoperable.
• DMP Registered: A new Cisco Digital Media Player has been added.
• DMP IP Address Conflict: The same IP address is configured on two different Cisco Digital Media Players.
