1. Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
In particular, it defines objects for managing remote network
monitoring devices.
2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC 1212
defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly
consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
the Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213, defines MIB-II, an
evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
operational requirements.
RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
3. Objects
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [7]
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax,
and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an
administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the OBJECT
DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.
The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for
this purpose. However, the SMI [3] purposely restricts the ASN.1
constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made
for simplicity.
The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type
is represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly
tied to the notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is
how the object type is represented when being transmitted on
the network.
The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.
3.1. Format of Definitions
Section 6 contains the specification of all object types
contained in this MIB module. The object types are defined
using the conventions defined in the SMI, as amended by the
extensions specified in [9,10].
4. Overview
Remote network monitoring devices are instruments that exist for the
purpose of managing a network. Often these remote probes are
stand-alone devices and devote significant internal resources for the
sole purpose of managing a network. An organization may employ many
of these devices, one per network segment, to manage its internet. In
addition, these devices may be used for a network management service
provider to access a client network, often geographically remote.
While many of the objects in this document are suitable for the
management of any type of network, there are some which are specific
to managing Ethernet networks. The design of this MIB allows similar
objects to be defined for other network types. It is intended that
future versions of this document will define extensions for other
network types such as Token Ring and FDDI.
4.1. Remote Network Management Goals
o Offline Operation
There are sometimes conditions when a management
station will not be in constant contact with its
remote monitoring devices. This is sometimes by
design in an attempt to lower communications costs
(especially when communicating over a WAN or
dialup link), or by accident as network failures
affect the communications between the management
station and the probe.
For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be
configured to perform diagnostics and to collect
statistics continuously, even when communication with
the management station may not be possible or
efficient. The probe may then attempt to notify
the management station when an exceptional condition
occurs. Thus, even in circumstances where
communication between management station and probe is
not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration
information may be continuously accumulated and
communicated to the management station conveniently
and efficiently.
o Preemptive Monitoring
Given the resources available on the monitor, it
is potentially helpful for it continuously to run
diagnostics and to log network performance. The
monitor is always available at the onset of any
failure. It can notify the management station of the
failure and can store historical statistical
information about the failure. This historical
information can be played back by the management
station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis
into the cause of the problem.
o Problem Detection and Reporting
The monitor can be configured to recognize
conditions, most notably error conditions, and
continuously to check for them. When one of these
conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and
management stations may be notified in a number of
ways.
o Value Added Data
Because a remote monitoring device represents a
network resource dedicated exclusively to network
management functions, and because it is located
directly on the monitored portion of the network, the
remote network monitoring device has the opportunity
to add significant value to the data it collects.
For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the
network that generate the most traffic or errors, the
probe can give the management station precisely the
information it needs to solve a class of problems.
o Multiple Managers
An organization may have multiple management stations
for different units of the organization, for different
functions (e.g. engineering and operations), and in an
attempt to provide disaster recovery. Because
environments with multiple management stations are
common, the remote network monitoring device has to
deal with more than own management station,
potentially using its resources concurrently.
4.2. Textual Conventions
Two new data types are introduced as a textual convention in this MIB
document. These textual conventions enhance the readability of the
specification and can ease comparison with other specifications if
appropriate. It should be noted that the introduction of the these
textual conventions has no effect on either the syntax nor the
semantics of any managed objects. The use of these is merely an
artifact of the explanatory method used. Objects defined in terms of
one of these methods are always encoded by means of the rules that
define the primitive type. Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP
are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions which are
adopted merely for the convenience of readers and writers in pursuit
of the elusive goal of clear, concise, and unambiguous MIB documents.
The new data types are: OwnerString and EntryStatus.
4.3. Structure of MIB
The objects are arranged into the following groups:
- statistics
- history
- alarm
- host
- hostTopN
- matrix
- filter
- packet capture
- event
These groups are the basic unit of conformance. If a remote
monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all
objects in that group. For example, a managed agent that implements
the host group must implement the hostControlTable, the hostTable and
the hostTimeTable.
All groups in this MIB are optional. Implementations of this MIB
must also implement the system and interfaces group of MIB-II [6].
MIB-II may also mandate the implementation of additional groups.
These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object
identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents to know which
objects they must implement.
4.3.1. The Statistics Group
The statistics group contains statistics measured by the probe for
each monitored interface on this device. This group currently
consists of the etherStatsTable but in the future will contain tables
for other media types including Token Ring and FDDI.
4.3.2. The History Group
The history group records periodic statistical samples from a network
and stores them for later retrieval. This group currently consists
of the historyControlTable and the etherHistoryTable. In future
versions of the MIB, this group may contain tables for other media
types including Token Ring and FDDI.
4.3.3. The Alarm Group
The alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from variables
in the probe and compares them to previously configured thresholds.
If the monitored variable crosses a threshold, an event is generated.
A hysteresis mechanism is implemented to limit the generation of
alarms. This group consists of the alarmTable and requires the
implementation of the event group.
4.3.4. The Host Group
The host group contains statistics associated with each host
discovered on the network. This group discovers hosts on the network
by keeping a list of source and destination MAC Addresses seen in
good packets promiscuously received from the network. This group
consists of the hostControlTable, the hostTable, and the
hostTimeTable.
4.3.5. The HostTopN Group
The hostTopN group is used to prepare reports that describe the hosts
that top a list ordered by one of their statistics. The available
statistics are samples of one of their base statistics over an
interval specified by the management station. Thus, these statistics
are rate based. The management station also selects how many such
hosts are reported. This group consists of the hostTopNControlTable
and the hostTopNTable, and requires the implementation of the host
group.
4.3.6. The Matrix Group
The matrix group stores statistics for conversations between sets of
two addresses. As the device detects a new conversation, it creates
a new entry in its tables. This group consists of the
matrixControlTable, the matrixSDTable and the matrixDSTable.
4.3.7. The Filter Group
The filter group allows packets to be matched by a filter equation.
These matched packets form a data stream that may be captured or may
generate events. This group consists of the filterTable and the
channelTable.
4.3.8. The Packet Capture Group
The Packet Capture group allows packets to be captured after they
flow through a channel. This group consists of the
bufferControlTable and the captureBufferTable, and requires the
implementation of the filter group.
4.3.9. The Event Group
The event group controls the generation and notification of events
from this device. This group consists of the eventTable and the
logTable.
5. Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices
Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these
devices, the functions often need user configuration. In many cases,
the function requires parameters to be set up for a data collection
operation. The operation can proceed only after these parameters are
fully set up.
Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which
to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to
place the results of the operation. The control tables are typically
read-write in nature, while the data tables are typically read-only.
Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting
data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only
when the control entry is invalid. Thus, the method for modifying
these parameters is to invalidate the control entry, causing its
deletion and the deletion of any associated data entries, and then
create a new control entry with the proper parameters. Deleting the
control entry also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the
resources used by the associated data.
Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on
the remote monitoring device. These objects may execute an action as
a result of a change in the state of the object. For those objects
in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it
currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.
To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be
shared among the managers. These resources are typically the memory
and computation resources that a function requires.
5.1. Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations
When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete
for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate
this sharing of resources is required. Potential conflicts include:
o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use
resources that together would exceed the capability of
the device.
o A management station uses a significant amount of
resources for a long period of time.
o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
forgetting to free the resources so others may
use them.
A mechanism is provided for each management station initiated
function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help resolve
them when they occur. Each function has a label identifying the
initiator (owner) of the function. This label is set by the
initiator to provide for the following possibilities:
o A management station may recognize resources it owns
and no longer needs.
o A network operator can find the management station that
owns the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free
resources another network operator has reserved.
o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
resources it had reserved in the past. With this
information it may free the resources if it no longer
needs them.
Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner
string dictated by the local policy of the organization. It is
suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP
address, management station name, network manager's name, location,
or phone number. This information will help users to share the
resources more effectively.
There is often default functionality that the device wishes to set
up. The resources associated with this functionality are then owned
by the device itself. In this case, the device will set the relevant
owner object to a string starting with 'monitor'. Indiscriminate
modification of the monitor-owned configuration by network management
stations is discouraged. In fact, a network management station
should only modify these objects under the direction of the
administrator of the probe, often the network administrator.
When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a
monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table of that
function to find an instance with similar parameters to share. This
is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which
can be assumed to change infrequently. If a management station
decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it
should understand that the management station that owns the instance
may indiscriminately modify or delete it.
5.2. Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations
The addition of new rows is achieved using the method described in
[9]. In this MIB, rows are often added to a table in order to
configure a function. This configuration usually involves parameters
that control the operation of the function. The agent must check
these parameters to make sure they are appropriate given restrictions
defined in this MIB as well as any implementation specific
restrictions such as lack of resources. The agent implementor may be
confused as to when to check these parameters and when to signal to
the management station that the parameters are invalid. There are
two opportunities:
o When the management station sets each parameter object.
o When the management station sets the entry status object
to valid.
If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management
station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the
badValue error to be emitted. Thus, wherever possible, the
implementor should choose the former as it will provide more
information to the management station.
A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set
configuration information simultaneously using SNMP. When this
involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control
table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry.
To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a
status object with special semantics that help to arbitrate among the
managers. If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to
create such a status object and that object already exists, an error
is returned. When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to
create the same conceptual row, only the first will succeed. The
others will receive an error.

When the associated historyControlBucketsRequested

Because the counters in a bucket may overflow at their
maximum value with no indication, a prudent manager
will take into account the possibility of overflow
in any of the associated counters. It is important
to consider the minimum time in which any counter
could overflow on a particular media type and set
the historyControlInterval object to a value less
than this interval. This is typically most
important for the 'octets' counter in any
media-specific table. For example, on an Ethernet
network, the etherHistoryOctets counter could overflow
in about one hour at the Ethernet's maximum
utilization.

-- The Alarm Group
-- Implementation of the Alarm group is optional.
--
-- The Alarm Group requires the implementation of the Event
-- group.
--
-- The Alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from
-- variables in the probe and compares them to thresholds
-- that have been configured. The alarm table stores
-- configuration entries that each define a variable,
-- polling period, and threshold parameters. If a sample is
-- found to cross the threshold values, an event is
-- generated. Only variables that resolve to an ASN.1
-- primitive type of INTEGER (INTEGER, Counter,
-- Gauge, or TimeTicks) may be monitored in this way.
--
-- This function has a hysteresis mechanism to limit the
-- generation of events. This mechanism generates one event
-- as a threshold is crossed in the appropriate direction.
-- No more events are generated for that threshold until the
-- opposite threshold is crossed.
--
-- In the case of a sampling a deltaValue, a probe may
-- implement this mechanism with more precision if it takes
-- a delta sample twice per period, each time comparing the
-- sum of the latest two samples to the threshold. This
-- allows the detection of threshold crossings
-- that span the sampling boundary. Note that this does not
-- require any special configuration of the threshold value.

-- The Host Group
-- Implementation of the Host group is optional.
--
-- The host group discovers new hosts on the network by
-- keeping a list of source and destination MAC Addresses seen
-- in good packets. For each of these addresses, the host
-- group keeps a set of statistics. The hostControlTable
-- controls which interfaces this function is performed on,
-- and contains some information about the process. On
-- behalf of each hostControlEntry, data is collected on an
-- interface and placed both the hostTable and the
-- hostTimeTable. If the monitoring device finds itself
-- short of resources, it may delete entries as needed. It
-- is suggested that the device delete the least recently
-- used entries first.
-- The hostTable contains entries for each address
-- discovered on a particular interface. Each entry
-- contains statistical data about that host. This table
-- is indexed by the MAC address of the host, through
-- which a random access may be achieved.
-- The hostTimeTable contains data in the same format as the
-- hostTable, and must contain the same set of hosts, but is
-- indexed using hostTimeCreationOrder rather than hostAddress.
-- The hostTimeCreationOrder is an integer which reflects
-- the relative order in which a particular entry was
-- discovered and thus inserted into the table. As this
-- order, and thus index, is among those entries currently
-- in the table, the index for a particular entry may change
-- if an (earlier) entry is deleted. Thus the association
-- between hostTimeCreationOrder and hostTimeEntry may be
-- broken at any time.
-- The hostTimeTable has two important uses. The first is the
-- fast download of this potentially large table. Because the
-- index of this table runs from 1 to the size of the table,
-- inclusive, its values are predictable. This allows very
-- efficient packing of variables into SNMP PDU's and allows
-- a table transfer to have multiple packets outstanding.
-- These benefits increase transfer rates tremendously.
-- The second use of the hostTimeTable is the efficient
-- discovery by the management station of new entries added
-- to the table. After the management station has
-- downloaded the entire table, it knows that new entries
-- will be added immediately after the end of the current
-- table. It can thus detect new entries there
-- and retrieve them easily.
-- Because the association between hostTimeCreationOrder and
-- hostTimeEntry may be broken at any time, the management
-- station must monitor the related hostControlLastDeleteTime
-- object. When the management station thus detects a deletion,
-- it must assume that any such associations have been broken,
-- and invalidate any it has stored locally. This includes
-- restarting any download of the hostTimeTable that may have
-- been in progress, as well as rediscovering the end of the
-- hostTimeTable so that it may detect new entries. If the
-- management station does not detect the broken association,
-- it may continue to refer to a particular host by its
-- creationOrder while unwittingly retrieving the data
-- associated with another host entirely. If this happens
-- while downloading the host table, the management station
-- may fail to download all of the entries in the table.

"An index that uniquely identifies an entry in
the hostTime table among those entries associated
with the same hostControlEntry. This index shall
be between 1 and N, where N is the value of
the associated hostControlTableSize. The ordering
of the indexes is based on the order of each entry's
insertion into the table, in which entries added
earlier have a lower index value than entries added
later. Thus the management station has the ability
to learn of new entries added to this table without
downloading the entire table.
It is important to note that the index for a
particular entry may change as an (earlier) entry
is deleted from the table. Because this order may
change, management stations should make use of the
hostControlLastDeleteTime variable in the
hostControlEntry associated with the relevant
portion of the hostTimeTable. By observing
this variable, the management station may detect
the circumstances where a download of the table
may have missed entries, and where a previous
association between a value of hostTimeCreationOrder
and a hostTimeEntry may no longer hold."

"The status that is to be matched with the input

The following two rules are then applied to every
packet:
(1) For each relevant bit from the packet status

fail this status match.
(2) If for every relevant bit from the packet status
with the corresponding filterPktStatusNotMask
bit set to one, the bit from the packet status
is equal to the corresponding bit from the
filterPktStatus, then the packet will fail
this status match.
Any packets that have not failed either of the two
matches above have passed this status match.
The value of the packet status is a sum. This sum
initially takes the value zero. Then, for each
error, E, that has been discovered in this packet,
2 raised to a value representing E is added to the sum.
The errors and the bits that represent them are
dependent on the media type of the interface that
this channel is receiving packets from.
The erro
