CISCO-DEVICE-LOCATION-MIB
This MIB is used for managing location information of end point devices(Telepresence, IP Camera, Digital media player etc) connected to switches/routers. This location information is then carried from the switch/router to the end point via Cisco Discovery protocol (CDP) or Link Layer Discovery protocol (LLDP). The location information can be used by applications such as Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, digital media manager. Civic location information as described in RFC 4676, identifies the exact location information like state, city, building, floor that helps identify the exact location of the devices. Definitions: ============ LocationTarget: This is identified by a target type (interface, IP session) and target identifier (ifIndex, IP address). MIB Table Overview: =================== This MIB consists of five tables: 1) cdlLocationTable 2) cdlCivicAddrLocationTable 3) cdlCustomLocationTable 4) cdlGeoLocationTable 5) cdlLocationPreferWeightTable The cdlLocationTable provides information about location information of LocationTarget. cdlCivicAddrLocationTable provides the details about the civic address types like state, county, city for a given LocationTarget. cdlCustomLocationTable provides the ability to associate arbitrary name/value pairs with a LocationTarget. This allows for specification of information which is not currently included into the standard definition of Civic address types. cdlGeoLocationTable provides Geolocation (GPS) coordinate information for a LocationType. cdlLocationPreferWeightTable provides information about, and a method for configuring, the order in which the system makes use of location information which is provided by different sources. The following provides a sample view of the contents of the table and the relationship between them. cdlLocationTable ------------------------------------------------ Location Sub Country Target Target Index TypeCap Code Type Identifier ------------------------------------------------- - 1 Civic Addr 01 Interface 1 | 2 Civic Addr 01 Interface 2 | | | cdlCivicAddrLocationTable | ---------------------------------------- | Location Location Location | Index Type Index Value | ----------------------------------------- |_ _ _ _ 1 1 - State Karnataka |_ _ _ _ 1 2 - County Bangalore District |_ _ _ _ 1 3 - city Bangalore 2 1 - State Kerala 2 2 - County Waynad District 2 3 - city Waynad
