The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter describes how to configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Base (MIB) support for Cisco ASR routers. It includes the following sections:
The Cisco MIBS Support page provides information on the SNMP capabilities that are contained in most Cisco IOS software images. To access this web site, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Go to the Cisco MIBs Support page:
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml
Step 2 Under Cisco Access Products, select your particular Cisco ASR platform to display a list of MIBs that are supported on the router.
Step 3 Scroll through the list to find the Cisco IOS software release you are interested in.
The following sections provide information about how to download and compile MIBs for the router:
While working with MIBs, consider the following:
To eliminate MIB compiler errors or warning messages for mismatched definitions, edit one of the MIB definitions to match the other. Other types of mismatches include:
SNMPv2-SMI.my
SNMPv2-TC.my
SNMPv2-MIB.my
RFC1213-MIB.my
IF-MIB.my
CISCO-SMI.my
CISCO-PRODUCTS-MIB.my
CISCO-TC.my
For listings of OIDs assigned to MIB objects, follow the link:

To download the MIBs onto your system, if they are not already there, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Go to the Cisco IOS MIB Tools page at the following URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/MIBS/servlet/index
If the MIB you want to download is not there, try one of the following URLs; or go to one of the URLs in Step 4 .
Step 2 Click the link for the MIB Locator tool.
Step 3 You can use the MIB Locator tool to show a particular MIB or to show all MIBs for a particular platform or for a particular software release.
Step 4 You can also download industry-standard MIBs from the following URLs:
If you plan to integrate the Cisco ASR 901 and 901S router with an SNMP-based management application, you must also compile the MIBs for that platform. Some SNMP managers do this automatically when you place all of the MIBs in a specific location, while others require you to do this manually. For instructions, see the following section.
This procedure summarizes how to configure the Cisco ASR for SNMP support.
Note These basic configuration commands are issued for SNMPv2c. For SNMPv3, you must also set up SNMP users and groups.
Step 1 Set up your basic SNMP configuration through the command-line interface (CLI). (For command and setup information, see the list of documents that follows this procedure.)
Step 2 Define SNMP read-only and read-write communities:
Step 3 Configure SNMP views (to limit the range of objects accessible to different SNMP user groups):
Step 4 If you plan to enable a number of traps, especially if you plan to enable traps for SYSLOG events and alarms, increase the trap queue size from its default of 10:
The value of queue-size can range from 1 to 1000 traps. We recommend a size of at least 100 for systems that are sending traps for SYSLOG events. The default is 10.
For detailed information about SNMP commands, see the following Cisco documents:
