Introduction to “fxos-mibs-fp2k.2.14.1.167.zip” Software
The fxos-mibs-fp2k.2.14.1.167.zip is Cisco’s standardized SNMP Management Information Base package for Firepower 2100/4100 Series appliances running FXOS 2.14.1+. Released in Q1 2025, this version aligns with Security Advisory cisco-sa-20250212-fxos and introduces 14 new MIB objects for hardware health monitoring.
This package contains 42 MIB files supporting SNMPv3 encrypted communications, including critical infrastructure monitoring objects defined in CISCO-FIREPOWER-AP-ENVIRONMENT-MIB. It enables centralized monitoring of chassis components through network management systems (NMS) like SolarWinds and PRTG.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Fault Detection
- Solid-State Drive Monitoring: Implements cfprApDiskSMARTStatus counter for predictive SSD failure alerts (RFC 62359-compliant)
- Thermal Sensor Expansion: Adds 3-axis temperature tracking in CISCO-FIREPOWER-AP-THERMAL-MIB for security modules
2. Security Protocol Updates
- FIPS 140-3 Compliance: Includes modified MIB objects for cryptographic module status verification
- TACACS+ Accounting: Integrates with CISCO-FIREPOWER-AP-AAA-MIB for centralized authentication logging
3. Operational Enhancements
- Adaptive QoS Metrics: New CISCO-FIREPOWER-AP-QOS-MIB counters track buffer congestion at 256-bit granularity
- Power Supply Monitoring: Implements cfprApPSUOutputVoltage threshold alerts in CISCO-FIREPOWER-AP-POWER-MIB
