    SNMP
    q Based on Simple Gateway Management Protocol
    (SGMP)
    q SNMP = Simply Not My Problem [Rose]
    Simple Network Management Protocol
    q Only Five commands
    Command Meaning
    get-request Fetch a value
    get-next-request Fetch the next value (in a tree)
    get-response Reply to a fetch operation
    set-request Store a value
    trap An event

    Management Information Base
    q MIBs follow a fixed naming and structuring
    convention
    ⇒ Structure of Management Information (SMI)
    q All names are unique
    q All nodes of the name tree are assigned numeric
    values by standards authorities
    iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.ip.ipInReceives
    1.3.6.1.2.1.4.3
    q Tables rows are referenced by appending the index

    The Ohio State University Raj Jain


    5
    MIB (Cont)
    q All names are specified using a subset of Abstract
    Syntax Notation (ASN.1)
    q ASN.1 specifies notation (that humans can read) and
    encoding (representation and ranges)
    q Only INTEGER, OCTET STRING, OBJECT
    IDENTIFIER, NULL types
    q Only SEQUENCE, SEQUENCE OF, CHOICE
    constructors

    MIB Definition: Example
    ipAddrTable ::= SEQUENCE of ipAddrEntry
    ipAddrEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
    ipAdEntAddr ipAddress,
    ipAdEntIfIndex INTEGER,
    ipAdEntNetMask ipAddress,
    ipAdEntBcastAddr ipAddress,
    ipAdEntReasmMaxSize INTEGER (0..65535)
    }
    ipAddrEntry { ipAddrTable 1}
    ipAdEntNetMask {ipAddrTable 3}

    SNMP Message Format
    q In ASN.1 Notation:
    SNMP-Message ::= SEQUENCE {
    version INTEGER {version-1 (0)},
    community OCTET STRING,
    data ANY
    }

    SNMP Message Types
    SNMP-PDUs ::= CHOICE{
    get-request GetRequest-PDU,
    get-next-request GetNextRequest-PDU,
    get-response GetResponse-PDU,
    set-request SetRequest-PDU,
    trap Trap-PDU
    }

    The Ohio State University Raj Jain


    11
    Message Types (Cont)
    GetRequestPDU ::= [0]
    IMPLICIT SEQUENCE{
    request-id RequestID,
    error-status ErrorStatus,
    error-index ErrorIndex,
    variable-bindings VarBindList
    }

    The Ohio State University Raj Jain


    12
    SNMPv2
    q Improved security: authentication and integrity using
    Data Encryption Standard (DES)
    q inform request ⇒ Multiple manager coordination
    Locking mechanisms prevent multiple managers from
    writing at the same time
    q get bulk ⇒ Better table handling
    q Confirmation option for Traps
    ⇒ Agents can ensure that trap was received correctly.
    q New Error codes: noSuchName, badValue, readOnly
    q Reference: RFC 1441
    The Ohio State University Raj Jain
    13
    OSI Net Management Standards
    q Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP)
    q Common Management Information Service (CMIS)
    q CMIP is the management (application layer) protocol
    q CMIS is the service interface to CMIP
    q M-GET (read attribute), M-SET (write attribute), M-
    EVENT-REPORT (report an event), M-ACTION
    (perform an action), M-CREATE (create an instance),
    M-DELETE (delete an instance)

    Remote Network Monitoring
    q RMON Allows network managers to monitor the
    traffic on the network
    q Network monitors/analyzers promiscuously monitor
    the LAN traffic
    q RMON allows a central network management station
    to communicate with monitors throughout the
    network.
    q RMON = Monitor MIB
    q Allows remote control of monitors
    q Allows multiple managers
