Hc-Rmon-Mib Support - Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual

16.10 16.10.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support

16.10.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support
For the ONS 15454, the implementation of the high-capacity remote monitoring information base
(HC-RMON-MIB, or RFC 3273) enables 64-bit support of existing RMON tables. This support is
provided with the etherStatsHighCapacityTable and the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable. An additional
table, the mediaIndependentTable, and an additional object, hcRMONCapabilities, are also added for
this support. All of these elements are accessible by any third-party SNMP client having RFC 3273
support.
16.10.3 Ethernet Statistics RMON Group
The Ethernet Statistics group contains the basic statistics monitored for each subnetwork in a single table
called the etherStatsTable.
16.10.3.1 Row Creation in etherStatsTable
The SetRequest PDU for creating a row in this table should contain all the values needed to activate a
row in a single set operation, and an assigned status variable to createRequest. The SetRequest PDU
object ID (OID) entries must all carry an instance value, or type OID, of 0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
•
•
•
The etherStatsTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to the above rules. When the
row is created, the SNMP agent decides the value of etherStatsIndex. This value is not sequentially
allotted or contiguously numbered. It changes when an Ethernet interface is added or deleted. The newly
created row will have etherStatsStatus value of valid (1).
If the etherStatsTable row already exists, or if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make
sense, the SNMP agent returns an error code.
EtherStatsTable entries are not preserved if the SNMP agent is restarted.
Note
16.10.3.2 Get Requests and GetNext Requests
Get requests and getNext requests for the etherStatsMulticastPkts and etherStatsBroadcastPkts columns
return a value of zero because the variables are not supported by ONS 15454 Ethernet cards.
16.10.3.3 Row Deletion in etherStatsTable
To delete a row in the etherStatsTable, the SetRequest PDU should contain an etherStatsStatus "invalid"
value (4). The OID marks the row for deletion. If required, a deleted row can be recreated.
