~Subject: What is the purpose of this FAQ?
----------------------------------------
This FAQ is to serve as a guide to the resources known to
be available for helping you to understand SNMP, SNMPv2,
and their related technologies. OSI/CMIP is touched on
briefly as well because we're fair-minded folk.
There is NO INTENT that this be a one-stop SNMP tutorial.
You WILL need to read the books listed herein, maybe even
some of the RFCs. You may wish to take a class as well.
Just think of this as your "tourist guide book."

~Subject: General Questions about SNMP and SNMPv2
-----------------------------------------------
@1.
~Subject: What is SNMP?
----------------
The Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol for
Internet network management services. It is formally
specified in a series of related RFC documents.
(Some of these RFCs are in "historic" or "informational" status)
RFC 1089 - SNMP over Ethernet
RFC 1140 - IAB Official Protocol Standards
RFC 1147 - Tools for Monitoring and Debugging TCP/IP
Internets and Interconnected Devices
[superceded by RFC 1470]
RFC 1155 - Structure and Identification of Management
Information for TCP/IP based internets.
RFC 1156 (H)- Management Information Base Network
Management of TCP/IP based internets
RFC 1157 - A Simple Network Managment Protocol
RFC 1158 - Management Information Base Network
Management of TCP/IP based internets: MIB-II
RFC 1161 (H)- SNMP over OSI
RFC 1187 - Bulk Table Retrieval with the SNMP
RFC 1212 - Concise MIB Definitions
RFC 1213 - Management Information Base for Network Management
of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II
RFC 1215 (I)- A Convention for Defining Traps for use with the SNMP
RFC 1224 - Techniques for Managing Asynchronously-Generated Alerts
RFC 1270 (I)- SNMP Communication Services
RFC 1303 (I)- A Convention for Describing SNMP-based Agents
RFC 1470 (I)- A Network Management Tool Catalog
RFC 1298 - SNMP over IPX
RFC 1418 - SNMP over OSI
RFC 1419 - SNMP over IPX

@2.
~Subject: What is an RFC?
------------------
The letters stand for the title Request For Comment, which
is the initial stage in the process for creating Internet
standards. RFCs go through several stages of review and
refinement before they are adopted as final by the Internet
community.
@3.
~Subject: Where can I get RFC text?
On WWW:
-------
Ohio State University has an extensive set of RFCs in html (browser)
format. To see RFC 9898 (for example), use the following URL:
http://www.cis/ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc9898.html
Simply change the RFC number in the above URL to acces the correct
file for your purpose.
==============================================================
RFC-Info Simplified Help submitted by: Mark Wallace
-----------------------
Use RFC-Info by sending an email messages to RFC-INFO@ISI.EDU.
1. To get a specific RFC send a message with text as follows:
Retrieve: RFC
Doc-ID: RFC1500
This gets RFC 1500. All RFC numbers in the Doc-Id are 4 digits
(RFC 791 would be Doc-ID: RFC0791).
2. To get a specific FYI send a message with text as follows:
Retrieve: FYI
Doc-ID: FYI0004
3. To get a list of available RFC's that match a certain criteria:
LIST: RFC
Keywords: Gateway
Returns a list of RFC's with the word Gateway in the title or
specified as a keyword.
4. To get information about other ways to get RFCs, FYIs, STDs,
or IMRs.
HELP: ways_to_get_rfcs
HELP: ways_to_get_fyis
HELP: ways_to_get_stds
HELP: ways_to_get_imrs
5. To get help about using RFC-Info:
HELP: help
or
HELP: topics
===============================================================
Other sites:
ftp.internic.net
ftp.uu.net
merit.edu
nic.ddn.mil - note: avoid using this one, it's SLOW
nis.nsf.net
src.doc.ic.ac.uk
venera.isi.edu
world.std.com
munnari.oz.au \___ Pacific Rim Sites use these
archie.au /
A. Use anonymous ftp & look for rfc or pub/rfc directories above.
Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by
sending an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with the message
body "help: ways_to_get_rfcs". For example:
>> To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
>> Subject: getting rfcs
>> help: ways_to_get_rfcs
B. You can get a CD Rom with all the RFC's as of the date of the
CD ROM (Mar 93) from :
Info Magic
POB 338
Pennington, NJ 08534-0338
(800) 800-6613
(609) 683-5501

http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/people/knight/osimis/osimis.html
OSIMIS-4.0 is now ready and as already mentioned it is available
free of charge on a non-commercial basis to all institutions.
Institutions wishing to obtain it should sign a non-commercial
licence. The exact procedure is as follows:
a. send a request to osimis-licence@cs.ucl.ac.uk (NOT to this list)
b. a soft copy of the licence will be sent to you by e-mail
c. a signed hard copy of the licence should be sent to UCL by snail-mail
d. as soon as the latter is received, information on FTAM/FTP access
to an encrypted copy and the required decryption key will be
sent to you
OSIMIS-4.0 is substantially enhanced compared to version 3.0
and has been developed by the RACE ICM and MIDAS projects. A
description is accessible through WWW:
From the features described there, conditional packages are not
yet properly supported. In short, new developments include:
- a GDMO compiler and an enhanced "plug-in" MO API
- a high level manager access API (RMIB)
- object and state management, alarm reporting and metric objects
- standard event reporting and logging
- security extensions (authentication and integrity checking)
- location transparency / discovery service using the OSI directory
- a full CMIS/P-SNMP generic proxy facility conforming to the
NMF IIMC work
- a facility to allow management systems to work transparently
over simulated network/services
- various performance/size optimisations
- interoperability / conformance and many other fixes
OSIMIS-4.0 needs ISODE-7.0, 8.0 or the ISODE Consortium R1.0
and can be built using the GNU C++ 2.5.8 and earlier versions
or the ATT 2.1. A pre-built version (binaries) for Sun SPARC /
SunOS 4.1.3 built with gcc/g++ 2.5.8 is also available.
Operating systems supported are SunOS (not Solaris), AIX and
HP-UX.
There is no new users' manual but enough documentation
to enable people to use the new features / convert old code.
Bear in mind that there is NO time/resources to answer support-type
questions, please refrain from asking.

There exists a UNIX program called "premosy". It extracts a MIB from an

Re: perl & SNMP
There are two solutions: one requires patches to perl,
the other (Tricklet, see above) uses an external program.
Contact gmstreet@guy.b30.ingr.com for information on his
extension/patches to perl for SNMP. It might be available via FTP on
liasun3.epfl.ch:/pub/net/snmp/snmpperl*

>From "Jeffrey T. Johnson" <jjohnson@cisco.com>:
The next step is to get all the back issues of The Simple Times. For
more information on this informative, free publication, send a message
to st-subscriptions@simple-times.org with a subject of "help"
There is also an online publication dealing with CMIP called CMIP Run.
Backissues are available on the host ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com (192.35.236.4)
in the directory /pub/protocols/mgmt/cmip/cmip_run, and subscription requests can be sent to
cmiprun@ralvm6.vnet.ibm.com. (there are two list, a notification list
to tell you when a new issue is available on the ftp site, and a mail list
to which new issues are actually sent).
There are also several books on the subject, including Rose's "The Simple
Book 2nd Ed." and Stallings' "SNMP, SNMPv2, and CMIP"

~Subject: What is SNMPv2?
------------------
SNMPv2 is a revised protocol (not just a new MIB)
which includes improvements to SNMP in the areas
of performance, security, confidentiality, and
manager-to-manager communications.
SNMPv2 Framework :
The following RFC's identify the major components of SNMPv2.
Historical
----------
RFC 1441 - Introduction to SNMP v2
RFC 1442 - SMI For SNMP v2
RFC 1443 - Textual Conventions for SNMP v2
RFC 1444 - Conformance Statements for SNMP v2
RFC 1445 - Administrative Model for SNMP v2
RFC 1446 - Security Protocols for SNMP v2
RFC 1447 - Party MIB for SNMP v2
RFC 1448 - Protocol Operations for SNMP v2
RFC 1449 - Transoport Mappings for SNMP v2
RFC 1450 - MIB for SNMP v2
RFC 1451 - Manager to Manger MIB
RFC 1452 - Coexistance between SNMP v1 and SNMP v2
Draft
-----
RFC 1902 - SMI for SNMPv2
RFC 1903 - Textual Conventions for SNMPv2
RFC 1904 - Conformance Statements for SNMPv2

~Subject: What is SNMPv2*/SNMPv1+/SNMPv1.5?
------------------
SNMPv2 had been announced for many months, and most of us assumed that it was
accepted as the next step up from SNMPv1. That assumption was false. In fact there
were several points on which the members of the IETF subcommittee could not agree.
Primary among them was the security and administrative needs of the protocol.
Simply put, SNMPv2*/SNMPv1+/SNMPv1.5 is SNMPv2 without the contentious
pieces, but *with* the stuff everyone agrees is of value.

"Beside MIB-Master there is the JaSCA class library (Java SNMP Control

is called Nixu Oy and is located in Finland. One of the three authors is
Pekka Nikander (Pekka.Nikander@nixu.fi).
There is a mailing list called "Java Network Management Mailing List" on
java-nm@clearlight.com. To subscribe send an email to
majordomo@clearlight.com with a body of "subscribe java-nm". There is not
so much traffic on the list (maybe because of a bug in the majordomo
list).
The URL http://www.West.nl/archive/java/snmp/ points to some Java stuff
but I have to check the source first.
A very nice Java tool can be found on http://misa.zurich.ibm.com/~lde/.
It's Luca Deris hot application called "Liaison", developed at the IBM
Research Center in Zurich. There are SNMP and CMIS-agents to query network
management data.
In the next three months I will hopefully present a network management
application with Java "droplets". The URL is http://193.174.26.169:8080.
Remember to switch off "lock ports above 1024" at your firewall."

~Subject: What is RMON?
----------------
The Remote Network Monitoring MIB is a SNMP MIB for remote
management of networks. While other MIBs usually are created to
support a network device whose primary function is other than
management, RMON was created to provide management of a network.
RMON is one of the many SNMP based MIBs that are on the IETF
Standards track.
@31. RMON Standardization Status
--------------------------------
RMON is one of the many SNMP based MIBs that are on the IETF
Standards track (RFC 1310). Currently (Jan 94) RMON has two
instantiations in the IETF standards process. First, RFC
1271 - a Proposed Standard, specifies the general structure
of RMON and the particulars of an Ethernet based RMON agent.
RFC 1513 - a Proposed Standard specifies the additional RMON
groups and specifics for a Token Ring network.
@32. RMON Working Group.
------------------------
The RMON Working Group is an IETF Working Group under the Network
Management Area. The WG meets periodically - usually at all IETF
meetings. The WG maintains a mailing list for Questions and
Comments concerning RMON.
Mail List: mailto:rmonmib@cs.hmc.edu ?
If no luck there, try rmonmib@cisco.com
The group's charter can be found at:
http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/html.charters/rmonmib-charter.html
@33. Joining the RMON Working Group Mailing List
-----------------------------------------------
To join the RMON Working Group mailing list, send mail to:
Mail List Request: mailto:rmonmib-request@jarthur.claremont.edu.
DO NOT send a request to join message to the general mailing list.
[Editor's Note: We have received a complaint that this request
may bounce. The claremont.edu addresses may no longer be active]
You may also wish to try: mailto:rmonmib-request@cisco.com
(Thanks to James Stansell for the detective work.)
@34. Historical RMON Records
-----------------------------
There are copies of the RMON mailing list messages and meeting
minutes within the IETF archive structure - available at various
sites.
There is also a RMON archive directory which can be accessed via
anonymous ftp at:
jarthur.cs.hmc.edu, directory /pub/rmon
[Editor's Note: We have received a complaint that site no longer exists
(or, was not at home when someone called). Anyone know if this site remains active?
Is this the same place as jarthur.claremont.edu?]
@35. RMON Documents
-----------------------
1. RMON White Paper in the anonymous ftp directory at
jarthur.cs.hmc.edu. There are two formats: frame and postscript.
This paper was developed by members of the RMON working group
prior to an Interop. It is a superficial discussion of RMON.
2. Chapter 7 in "SNMP, SNMPv2 and CMIP: The Practical Guide to
Network Management Standards" by William Stallings, (c) 1993
Addison-Wesley, goes into some detail on the RMON MIB.

@39. What is ISODE?
------------------------
ISODE (pronounced "eye-so-DEE") is an acronym for "ISO Develoment
Environment". It is an implementation of SNMP which can be used
as the starting point for further refinement by you. In order to use
it you must agree to the conditions. This quote is from "The Simple Book", 2nd ed.:
"[ISODE] is openly available but is NOT in the public domain. You are
allowed and encouraged to take this software and use it for any lawful
purpose. However, as a condition of use, you are required to hold
harmless all contributors."
Most MIB compilers seen by this editor sprang from ISODE roots.
@39a. Where can I get ISODE?
--------------------------------
The old archive was ...

~Subject: What is CMIP?
----------------
YES, we do need to mention it here!
Paul Rolland writes from France:
"CMIP is the Common Management Information Protocol. It is an OSI
protocol that has been defined for Network Management. It comes
together with the CMIS (Commom Management Information Service).
This service provides :
monitoring: in this case, you are using CMIP to gain information,
control: you can manipulate objects that you manage,
reporting: Managed objects can tell you something wrong is
happening."

e. The UT-SNMP projectgroup
---------------------------
description: Currently, we are building version 4 of the
UT-SNMP package. In this new version we initialize
the PartyMIB by a configuration file(s). The layout
of this initialization file is defined and described
in the "SNMPv2 Administrative Configuration Proposal"
by Dave Perkins and John Seligson (Synoptics).
Some projectmembers have made software to
create those configuration file(s) in a very
convenient manner. The software asks some simple
questions and depending on the input generates the
initialization file(s).

f. The tkined & scotty network management system
------------------------------------------------
The Technical University of Braunschweig has developed an
extensible network management platform which uses the
Tool Command Language (Tcl) as its primary extensions
language.
The tkined network editor is the graphical user interface
which integrates applications that are usually written as
Tcl scripts based on the scotty Tcl extension. scotty provides
access to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 and a number of well known
Internet services like DNS, various ICMP packets, NTP, TCP,
UDP, SUN RPCs (mount, rstat, portmap) etc.
Applications distributed with the scotty and tkined sources
include network discovery, trouble-shooting applications,
event filter, SNMP MIB browser etc. An experimental MIB
browser is also available via WWW using the URL:
http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/cgi-bin/sbrowser.cgi
The SNMP Tcl extension uses a SNMPv1/v2 protocol stack written
from scratch which was designed to directly support our Tcl
API. This provides a portable and fast implementation. A brief
history on SNMP Tcl extension is available using the URL:
http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/projects/nm/scotty/tcl+snmp.html
Information about the current status of the project, the
mailing list and the availability of our software can be

j. from UC Davis & Wes Hardaker (see FTP list in Part 1 )
--------------------------------
News from Wes Hardaker:
Well, I've finally gotten back in the swing of things. I've moved to
Switzerland, as I wrote in my last announcement, and have even begun to
speak a little French (un tres petit peu). Working on this project stopped
for quite a few months, and this release is mainly a collection of patches
that people have sent me. Expect more work to follow in the following
months, however...
I actually did find it quite interesting that 998 people have downloaded
the 3.1 release, which I was amazed at. What confuses me even more is that
there are only 160 some odd people on this mailing list. My question is
thus: How are the other 700 people figuring out where to get it from.
There is consistantly twice the number of downloads as the number of people
on the list. Or is one of you downloading it 700 times yourself? ;-)
Anyway, appropriate news/changes are included below.
I should mention that this release is slightly less tested than most of my
others, as I only compiled it on solaris and hp-ux machines... There
shouldn't be any problems, however.

General info
------------
Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to the -request
address of a mailinglist. In this case, send these requests to
ucd-snmp-request@ece.ucdavis.edu.
To subscribe to a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word "subscribe"
in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list.
To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word (you
guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of
that list.
In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to first
send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the new
address), and then a new subscribe to the new address (the order is important).
Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human
intervention.
Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail. Only one
will be processed per mail.
NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating

k. from pwilson:
----------------
New portable SNMP agent distribution is available under GPL.
We call it snmp95. It is available for anonymous ftp from
ftp://ftp.std.com/vendors/snmp/snmp95/snmp95.tar.Z
As well as number of other products named xxxx95 it is rather
a transtional product representing current intermediate state
of SNMPv1 -> SNMPv2 transition.
First, let me describe what is there.
1. It is bi-lingual SNMPv1/SNMPv2 implementation based on the
recent drafts, which will change along with draft changes.
2. It includes two agents: base agent which will compile and run
on all kinds of UNIXes, but without MIB-II and agent which will
compile and run on SVR4/386 UNIX. Latter one has driver/kernel
based (Karl are you reading ?) implementation of MIB-II for streams
based TCP/IP.
3. Long time ago the thing was started from CMU-SNMP code, so it still
shares common philosophy and some familiar names. At the same time
basic SNMP library has error detection/reporting added to fully
support new errors required by SNMPv2. Agent to MIB interface
is also improved - MIBs can be hooked on the agent as binary modules.
4. The general design philosophy is to have a predictable minimal load
on the underlying managed system from SNMP agent (e.g. agent does not
use malloc's) while providing commercial level of capabilities: binary
extensibility, fully implemented SETs and error-code support.
5. Admin/security portion of the code is separated from the rest of the
code. So, if any new admin models will surface no changes in MIB or
agent code will be required, unless some creative statistics will
be stacked in.
6. Code is extremely portable. Practically 99% of system dependent
code is contained within driver itself. I do not think that it
will take more than a couple of days to port it to something else.
7. Simple community based admin model codes are provided. An absolutely
trivial one with base agent and a little bit more sophisticated
with svr4x86 one.
8. Code is lightly tested in the respect that it will perform gets and
get-nexts on all variables in MIB-II, supported by underlying system.
It will also perform SETs on all read-write variables in MIB-II and
in ipForwardTable, except tcpConnState. What was not tested yet is that
phase1 one of SET will reject absolutely all thinkable wrong routes
without allowing for commit phase to take place: there is practically
unlimited number of wrong routes. So, we tested against some most evident
wrong ones but this is not finished yet.

m. SNMP++ -- An SNMP API Class Library:
---------------------------------------
SNMP++ Revision 2.5
===================================================================
I am pleased to announce the completion of the new SNMP++
specification. Over the last year SNMP++ has gone from a version
1 specification, which was presented at a Birds-of-a-Feather at
Networld-Interop '95, to the currently available 2.5 revision. The new
specification is freely available on the following FTP server.
Where to Find the New Specification and Header Files:
------------------------------------------------------------------
FTP Server Name: rosegarden.external.hp.com (192.151.46.12)
Login: anonymous
Files /pub/snmp++/doc snmp_pp.doc (MS-Word 6-7 Format)
snmp_pp.ps (Postscript version)
/pub/snmp++/include *.h (C++ class definitions)
Intent:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The intent of the publication of this specification is to make
SNMP++ an open specification as a C++ based SNMP API and as a C++
extension to WinSNMP. All developers are encouraged to review the
specification and all comments and suggestions are welcome.
What is SNMP++:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SNMP++ is a set of C++ classes which provide SNMP services to a
network management application developer. SNMP++ is not an additional
layer or wrapper over existing SNMP engines. SNMP++ utilizes existing
SNMP libraries in a few minimized areas and in doing so is efficient
and portable. SNMP++ is not meant to replace other existing SNMP APIs
such as WinSNMP, rather it offers power and flexibility would otherwise
be difficult to manage and implement. SNMP++ brings the Object Advantage
to network management development.
Evolution and Development of SNMP++:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last year, SNMP++ has been designed and created by a variety
of professionals in the network management industry including major
involvement from Hewlett Packard Company OpenView Division and Hewlett
Packard Company Roseville Networks Division. In addition to involvement
from the HP Company, a variety of experts within the WinSNMP community have
have made significant contributions to formulating the the current SNMP++
API. SNMP++ has been successfully utilized in over ten network management
products for MS-Windows, HP-UX and Sun / Solaris.
When Will Working Binaries be Available For Usage?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The new specification and C++ class definitions are currently available on
the above described anonymous FTP server. Soon to come will be MS-Windows
32 bit binaries and working demonstration code. Binaries released will be
in an un-supported 'as is' form. The intent of the binary release will be
to allow usage and testing and thereby increase implementation experience using
SNMP++.

~Subject: What is a MIB?
-----------------
A collection of objects which describe an SNMP managable entity.
An Important Note: There IS ONLY ONE SNMP MIB. All these other
"MIBs" which are cited herein are extensions to *the* SNMP MIB.
Popular usage and strict definition do not agree on this point, so
be careful in how and when you talk about the plural of MIB.
@2.
~Subject: What are MIB-I and MIB-II
-----------------------------
MIB-I was the first SNMP MIB accepted as standard.
MIB-II added some much-needed objects, and has become
the standard SNMP MIB.
Note that SNMPv2 expands upon MIB-II with new groups
and objects, and is therefore not MIB-II but includes
MIB-II.
Dave Jagoda (dj@netlabs.com) writes to provide ...
" ... some useful RFC's that I think might be of general
interest (particularly since I think many people don't realize these
exist and might try to invent something like these on their own).
They all have in common the fact that they are assigned under the
mib-2 portion of the tree."

In RFC 1229, Extension to the Generica-Interface MIB, the

In RFC 1239, some experimental MIBs are reassigned to standard MIBs.
At that time, the Generic IF objects are reassigned to mib-2 (12).
However, RFC 1573 officially "obsoletes" RFC 1229, by defining
a new class objects, in mib(30) and mib(31) that replace the
the ones of RFC 1229.

~Subject: What is the SMI?
-------------------
"In order for the MIB to serve the needs of a network-management
system, it must meet two objectives:
1. The object or objects used to represent a particular resource
must be the same at each node. [...]
2. A common scheme for representation must be used to support
interoperability." - William Stallings, op. cit. below
In both Internet and OSI network management these two objectives
are met by a common structure of managment information (SMI)
which is defined in RFC 1155. The SMI is the specification
for the tree of MIB objects which which provides a means of
associating a common numerical identification code for a
given object.
The top of the SMI tree is the familiar mapping:
iso = 1
org = 3
dod = 6
internet = 1
mgmt = 2
mib-2 = 1
which is the global root prefix of every SNMP MIB object.

~Subject: What is ASN.1?
-------------------
ASN.1 : This is an Abstract Syntax Notation One. ASN.1 is an language
used to define the formats of the PDUs that are exchanged by SNMP
entities, and also used to defined the objects that are managed thru
SNMP. This is a formal language, with a grammar that has been defined
in :
Information Processing
Open System Interconnection
Specification of
Abstract Syntax Notation ONE (ASN.1).
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) and International Electrotechnical Committee,
1987. International Standard 8824.
In ASN.1, you can define Modules, which are collections of ASN.1
descriptions, each description referring to an object. Possible
objects are types, values and macros. Types can be both simple or
constructed, constructed types being based on one or more simple
types. Simple types are : Integer, Octet String, Object Identifier,
NULL.
- Paul Rolland
ASN.1 is well defined and explained in three of the books mentioned in
this FAQ:
From Philipp Hoschka:
"I've assembled a number of ASN.1-related internet resources
and included them in my homepage."

~Subject: A Special, Personal Thanks
--------------------------
My meager, threadbare knowledge of SNMP and SNMPv2 would be
all the more so except for the patient attention of
Jeff Case and Steve Waldbusser. These two fellows are
not only masters of their craft, they are also true
gentlemen in every sense of the word. My gratitude.
