Information About SNMP
Information About MIBs and Traps
MIBs are either standard or enterprise-specific. Standard MIBs are created by the IETF and documented
in various RFCs. A trap reports significant events occurring on a network device, most often errors or
failures. SNMP traps are defined in either standard or enterprise-specific MIBs. Standard traps are
created by the IETF and documented in various RFCs. SNMP traps are compiled into the ASA or
ASASM software.
If needed, you can also download RFCs, standard MIBs, and standard traps from the following locations:
http://www.ietf.org/
ftp://ftp-sj.cisco.com/pub/mibs
Download a complete list of Cisco MIBs, traps, and OIDs from the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml
In addition, download Cisco OIDs by FTP from the following location:
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/oid/oid.tar.gz
Note In software versions 7.2(1), 8.0(2), and later, the interface information accessed through SNMP refreshes
about every 5 seconds. As a result, we recommend that you wait for at least 5 seconds between
consecutive polls.
SNMP Object Identifiers
Each Cisco system-level product has an SNMP object identifier (OID) for use as a MIB-II sysObjectID.
The CISCO-PRODUCTS-MIB includes the OIDs that can be reported in the sysObjectID object in the
SNMPv2-MIB. You can use this value to identify the model type. Table 1-2 lists the sysObjectID OIDs
for ASA models.
