CISCO-NOTIFICATION-CONTROL-MIB
AI MIB Summary
The CISCO-NOTIFICATION-CONTROL-MIB enables Cisco network devices to throttle and regulate the rate of SNMP trap and inform messages generated by system events, preventing network management station (NMS) flooding. It manages specific control metrics including notification rate limits, suppression intervals, and the enablement or disablement of individual notification types to maintain stable management traffic volumes.
This MIB provides network management support to regulate the transmission of notifications generated by a system providing networking services. The system could be generating several notifications pertaining to various events. Allowing every notification to be transmitted out may lead to the network being flooded with an excess of network management traffic. Hence it is required to regulate the generation and transmission of notifications.
GLOSSARY

ciscoNotificationControlMIBThis MIB provides network management support to regulate
the transmission of notifications generated by a
system providing networking services. The system could
be generating several notifications pertaining to
various events. Allowing every notification to be
transmitted out may lead to the network being flooded
with an excess of network management traffic. Hence it
is required to regulate the generation and transmission
of notifications.

cNotifCtrlConfig OBJECT IDENTIFIER .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1 |
cNotifCtrlModeThis object represents the notification control mode.
The semantics are as follows.
noControl - There is no control on notifications.
forcedControl - All notifications configured through
cNotifCtrlTable are filtered at all times.
automaticControl - Notifications configured through
cNotifCtrlTable are filtered only when number of
notifications generated exceeds the value represented
by cNotifCtrlThreshold in the given time interval
represented by cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval.rw Enumeration .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.1 |
cNotifCtrlCurrentStateThis object represents the current state of notification
control. The semantics are as follows.
controlOn - This indicates that notifications configured in
cNotifCtrlTable are currently getting filtered on the
system. This object will always be 'controlOn', when
cNotifCtrlMode is 'forcedControl'.
controlOff - This indicates that notifications configured
in cNotifCtrlTable are currently not being filtered on the
system. This object will always be 'controlOff', when
cNotifCtrlMode is 'noControl'.
If cNotifCtrlMode is set to 'automaticControl', the agent
sets this object to 'controlOn', when number of
notifications generated by the system exceeds the value
represented by cNotifCtrlThreshold in the time interval
represented by cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval. The agent sets
this object to 'controlOff', when the number of
notifications generated by the system falls below the value
represented by cNotifCtrlThreshold in the time interval
represented by cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval.ro Enumeration .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.2 |
cNotifCtrlThresholdThis object represents the threshold value to initiate
controlling of notifications. Notifications will be
controlled when the number of notifications generated
by this system exceeds the threshold represented by
this object in the sampling interval represented by
cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval. The configured value takes
effect only when cNotifCtrlMode is set to
'automaticControl'.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.3 |
cNotifCtrlSamplingIntervalThis object represents the sampling interval in which the
notification generation rate will be monitored. The
configured value takes effect only when cNotifCtrlMode is
set to 'automaticControl'.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.4 |
cNotifCtrlTableSizeThis object represents maximum number of rows possible in
cNotifCtrlTable.rw Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.5 |
cNotifCtrlIndexNextThis object represents the next available free index in
the cNotifCtrlTable. This number can be used as an index
to create a valid entry into cNotifCtrlTable.
A value of 0 indicates that no free indices are available to
create entries in cNotifCtrlTable.ro Unsigned32 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.6 |
cNotifCtrlTableThis table represents the notifications to be controlled.
To control a particular notification, user creates a row
uniquely indexed by cNotifCtrlIndex using the
cNotifCtrlRowStatus object. The storage type of each row
is indicated by cNotifCtrlStorageType.
The agent filters out the notification depending on the
current value of cNotifCtrlMode. The agent also indicates
the current state of notification control through
cNotifCtrlCurrentState.
This notification control mechanism is illustrated as follows.
cNotifCtrlTable contains the list of notifications, that
need to be controlled from the agent when
cNotifCtrlCurrentState is 'controlOn'.
When cNotifCtrlMode is set to 'automaticControl', a timer is
started for the time interval represented by
cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval(eg: 10 mins) to monitor the number
of notifications being generated by the agent. If the number
of notifications generated exceeds the value represented by
cNotifCtrlThreshold (eg: 100) before the timer expires, all
notifications mentioned in cNotifCtrlTable are throttled.
When the timer expires, it is restarted and the counter used
to track the number of notifications generated is initialized to
zero. This controlling of notifications will continue until
the number of notifications generated falls below the threshold
in the given interval.
When cNotifCtrlMode is set to 'forcedControl', all the
notifications mentioned in cNotifCtrlTable are always
throttled, irrespective of the values of
threshold and sampling interval. SEQUENCE OF CNotifCtrlEntry .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.7 |
