CAPABILITIES-MIB

AI MIB Summary

The CAPABILITIES-MIB defines conformance classes and mandatory object sets to verify that network devices and management agents strictly adhere to specific SNMP protocol standards. It enables automated validation of supported MIB objects and compliance levels across heterogeneous vendor equipment to ensure interoperable network management.

Contains objects which describe the conformance level capabilities for specific MIB objects.

capsMibObjects
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
capsMibConformanceObjects
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1
capsLastUpdateTimeThe value of sysUpTime when the agent last added, deleted, or modified an entry in the capsTable.ro
TimeStamp (SNMPv2-TC)
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.1
capsTableA list of entries describing the MIB conformance capabilities for this agent.
SEQUENCE OF CapsEntry
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.2
capsEntryA conceptual row in the capsTable. Entries SHOULD be created by the agent at system reinitialization time. However, agents MAY create, delete, or modify entries in this table to support dynamic loading and unloading of MIB modules. It is possible that overlapping entries will exist in this table, in which case the more specific entry (i.e., the one with the longest capsSubTree INDEX) takes precedence.
CapsEntry
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.2.1
capsSubTreeThe root of the MIB sub-tree associated with this entry. This object SHOULD identify an interior node to indicate multiple MIB objects or a leaf node to indicate a single MIB object.
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.2.1.1
capsModuleComplianceIdentifies the MODULE-COMPLIANCE macro name for the associated set of MIB objects. If no appropriate value can be determined, then the agent will return '0.0'.ro
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.2.1.2
capsConfLevelIndicates the basic level of conformance for the associated set of MIB objects. If this object contains the value 'otherConf', then the capsVarSyntax object SHOULD be present for the associated entry. If this object contains the value 'fullConf', 'minConf', or 'noConf' then the capsVarSyntax object MAY be present for the associated entry. If this object contains the value 'completeConf' then the capsVarSyntax object SHOULD NOT be present for the associated entry.ro
ConformanceLevel
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.1.2.1.3
capsVarSyntaxA textual representation of the syntactical variation described by this entry. If the associated capsConfLevel object is equal to 'otherConf', then this string SHOULD contain the the same value as the SYNTAX clause within a VARIATION clause of an AGENT-CAPABILITIES macro. If the associated capsConfLevel object is equal to 'minConf', and this entry identifies a set of MIB objects, then this string MAY identify the applicable GROUP clause(s) associated with the entry. For all entries in which the associated capsConfLevel object is equal to 'minConf', this string SHOULD contain the same value as the SYNTAX, WRITE-SYNTAX, and/or MIN-ACCESS clauses present within the OBJECT clause of a MODULE-COMPLIANCE macro. The actual keyword (e.g., 'SYNTAX') SHOULD precede the quoted string value. Multiple clauses MAY be concatenated within a single string, and SHOULD be separated by whitespace. If this entry identifies multiple objects, then the same clause(s) must apply to all objects. The agent MAY return a zero-length string instead of a noSuchInstance exception.ro

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.2
capsMibConformanceGroupA collection of objects used to describe the conformance capabilities of the MIB objects supported by an agent.
