CISCO-ZS-EXT-MIB.mib object
Introduction
Most network devices and programs ship with so-called MIB files to describe the parameters and meanings (i.e.: friendly names) which are available for monitoring via SNMP.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor 2025 can import vendor-specific MIB files, so it can be used to monitor specific OID's (Object Identifiers).
This way, you can monitor your devices, computers, etc. by selecting your relevant OID's by name.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor 2025 can import MIB file CISCO-ZS-EXT-MIB and use it to monitor vendor specific OID's.

An entry represents the capability of the
Zone Server on the local device on a VSAN.
|
| czseModeEntry |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.2.1 |

An entry represents the mode of operation
of the local zone server on a VSAN. The mode
can be modified on a VSAN and the outcome
of the operation obtained.
|
| czseReadFrom |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.3 |
|
This object specifies whether the management station
wishes to read from the 'effective database' or from
the 'copy' database.
|
| czseSessionEntry |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.4.1 |
|
An entry contains information on the owner of
a session on a VSAN. It also assists in performing
commit/clear operations on the session.
|
| czseMergeControlEntry |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.5.1 |
|
An entry contains information on the
Merge Control policy on a VSAN. The policy
can be modified on a per VSAN basis by
making use of czseMergeContolRestrict object.
|
| Tabular Object |
| czseCapabilityObject |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.1.1.1 |
|
This bitmap represents the capability of the
local Zone Server on this VSAN.
If 'enhancedMode(0)' bit is set, the local
Zone Server is capable of supporting enhanced
Zoning mode of operation. If this bit is reset,
it does not have this capability.
If 'zsetDb(1)' bit is set, the local Zone Server
supports maintaining of zoneset database. If this
bit is reset, the local Zone Server does not
allow maintaining of zoneset database.
If 'dirAct(2)' bit is set, the local Zone Server
supports direct activation command. If this bit
is reset, the local Zone Server does not support
this.
If 'hardZoning(3)' bit is set, the local Zone
Server supports hard zoning. If this bit is reset,
the local Zone Server does not support hard
zoning.
|
| czseOperationMode |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.2.1.1 |
|
This object when set to 'basic(1)', results in
the zone server operating in the basic mode
as defined by FC-GS4 standards.
This object when set to 'enhanced(2)', results in
the zone server operating in the enhanced mode
as defined by FC-GS4 standards.
The local zone server can move to the enhanced
mode of operation only if all devices in the
Fibre Channel fabric are capable of working in
enhanced mode.
Otherwise, the set operation trying to set this
object to 'enhanced(2)' will fail.
|
| czseOperationModeResult |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.2.1.2 |
|
The outcome of setting the mode of operation of
the local Zone Server on this VSAN.
|
| czseSessionOwnerType |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.4.1.1 |
|
This object specifies the owner type
for this session.
|
| czseSessionOwner |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.4.1.2 |
|
This object specifies the owner for this
session.
If the value of the corresponding instance
of czseSessionOwnerType object is 'cli', this
object will contain the user name of the CLI
(Command Line Interface) user, who is the
owner of the session on this VSAN.
If the value of the corresponding instance
of czseSessionOwnerType is 'gs4client', this
object will contain the FCID of the GS4
management station, which is the owner of the
session on this VSAN.
If the value of the corresponding instance
of czseSessionOwnerType is 'snmp', this object
will contain the IP address of the management
station, which is the owner of the session on
this VSAN.
|
| czseSessionCntl |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.4.1.3 |
|
This object assists in committing or clearing
the contents of the 'copy' database on this
session.
No action is taken if this object is set to
'noop(3)'.
The value of this object when read is always
'noop(3)'.
The above operation can only be performed by
the owner of the session.
|
| czseSessionCntlResult |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.4.1.4 |
|
This object indicates the outcome of setting
the corresponding instance of czseSessionCntl
object to 'commitChanges(1)'.
|
| czseMergeControlRestrict |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427.1.1.5.1.1 |
|
This object controls the zone merge behavior.
If this object is set to 'allow', then the merge
takes place according to the merge rules.
If this object is set to 'restrict', then if the
merging databases are not exactly identical, the
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between the devices is
isolated.

|
| Object Identifier |
| ciscoZsExtMIB |
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.427 |
|
The MIB module for the management of zoning within
the framework of Cisco's Zoning Server (ZS) Archi-
tecture which realizes the FC-GS4/SW3 requirements
for Zone Server. This MIB is an extension to the
CISCO-ZS-MIB, which is for managing zoning
conforming to FC-GS3/SW2. The FC-GS4 specification
is Fibre-Channel - Generic Services - 4 T11/
Project 1505-D/Rev 7.8. The SW3 specification is
Fibre-Channel - Switch Fabric - 3 T11/Project 1508-
D/Rev 6.6.
GS4/SW3 allows zoning to operate in either basic
or enhanced mode of operation. Basic mode is
essentially GS3/SW2 compatible mode (as modelled
by CISCO-ZS-MIB). Enhanced mode of operation
provides additional capabilities. In enhanced mode
of operation, all the configuration should be
done within the scope of a session.
The current 'Running Configuration' on the local device
for zone server is called the 'effective' database.
When the first configuration command on the zone server
data is received, a snapshot of the current 'effective
database' is taken on the local device. This
snapshot is called the 'copy' database. An implicit
session is started by the Zone Server on the local
device and all subsequent SET operations take place
in the context of this session. The 'copy' database
is used for all further modifications in the
session. There can be only one session active in the
entire Fibre Channel fabric. The user who initiates
the creation of this 'copy', is called the owner of
session. When a session has been created on a device
in the Fibre Channel fabric, if an attempt is made
to start a session from any other device in the
fabric, it results in error.
Once the modifications to the 'copy' are done, a
'commit' operation can be done. The 'commit' done
on the local device, results in the local 'effective
database' being overwritten with the 'copy' and
then the new local 'effective database' is
distributed to all other devices in the Fibre Channel
fabric. The successful 'commit' operation also results
in destroying the 'copy' on the local device. The
'commit' can only be performed by the owner of the
session.
The 'copy' can optionally be destroyed without any
distribution. This can be done by performing a
'clear' operation.
