The SNMP Network Management Framework The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of three major components. They are: o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [6] - the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [5] - the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. o the protocol, STD 15, RFC 1157 [10] and/or RFC 1905 [9] - the protocol used for accessing managed information. Textual conventions are defined in RFC 1903 [7], and conformance statements are defined in RFC 1904 [8]. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. 1.1. Object Definitions 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) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. 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 descriptor, to refer to the object type. 2. Overview 2.1. Relationship to RFC 1516 This MIB is intended as a superset of that defined by RFC 1516 [11], which will go to historic status. This MIB includes all of the objects contained in that MIB, plus several new ones which provide de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 for significant additional capabilities. Implementors are encouraged to support all applicable conformance groups in order to make the best use of the new functionality provided by this MIB. The new objects provide support for: o multiple repeaters o 100BASE-T management o port TopN capability o address search and topology mapping Certain objects have been deprecated; in particular, those scalar objects used for managing a single repeater are now of minimal use since they are duplicated in the new multiple- repeater definitions. Additional objects have been deprecated based on implementation experience with RFC 1516. 2.2. Repeater Management Instances of the object types defined in this memo represent attributes of an IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet-like) repeater, as defined by Section 9, "Repeater Unit for 10 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE 802.3/ISO 8802-3 CSMA/CD standard [1], and Section 27, "Repeater for 100 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE Standard 802.3u-1995 [2]. These Repeater MIB objects may be used to manage non-standard repeater-like devices, but defining objects to describe implementation-specific properties of non-standard repeater- like devices is outside the scope of this memo. The definitions presented here are based on Section 30.4, "Layer Management for 10 and 100 Mb/s Baseband Repeaters" and Annex 30A, "GDMO Specificataions for 802.3 managed objects" of [3]. Implementors of these MIB objects should note that [3] explicitly describes when, where, and how various repeater attributes are measured. The IEEE document also describes the effects of repeater actions that may be invoked by manipulating instances of the MIB objects defined here. The counters in this document are defined to be the same as those counters in [3], with the intention that the same instrumentation can be used to implement both the IEEE and IETF management standards. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 2.3. Structure of the MIB Objects in this MIB are arranged into packages, each of which contains a set of related objects within a broad functional category. Objects within a package are generally defined under the same OID subtree. These packages are intended for organizational convenience ONLY, and have no relation to the conformance groups defined later in the document. 2.3.1. Basic Definitions The basic definitions include objects which are applicable to all repeaters: status, parameter and control objects for each repeater within the managed system, for the port groups within the system, and for the individual ports themselves. 2.3.2. Monitor Definitions The monitor definitions include monitoring statistics for each repeater within the system and for individual ports. 2.3.3. Address Tracking Definitions This collection includes objects for tracking the MAC addresses of the DTEs attached to the ports within the system and for mapping the topology of a network. Note: These definitions are based on a technology which has been patented by Hewlett-Packard Company. HP has granted rights to this technology to implementors of this MIB. See [12] and [13] for details. 2.3.4. Top N Definitions These objects may be used for tracking the ports with the most activity within the system or within particular repeaters. 2.4. Relationship to Other MIBs 2.4.1. Relationship to MIB-II It is assumed that a repeater implementing this MIB will also implement (at least) the 'system' group defined in MIB-II [5]. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 2.4.1.1. Relationship to the 'system' group In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems such that each managed entity contains one instance of each object in the 'system' group. Thus, those objects apply to the entity even if the entity's sole functionality is management of repeaters. 2.4.1.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where each interface is thought of as being attached to a 'subnetwork'. (Note that this term is not to be confused with 'subnet' which refers to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of protocols.) This Repeater MIB uses the notion of ports on a repeater. The concept of a MIB-II interface has NO specific relationship to a repeater's port. Therefore, the 'interfaces' group applies only to the one (or more) network interfaces on which the entity managing the repeater sends and receives management protocol operations, and does not apply to the repeater's ports. This is consistent with the physical-layer nature of a repeater. A repeater is a bitwise store-and-forward device. It recognizes activity and bits, but does not process incoming data based on any packet-related information (such as checksum or addresses). A repeater has no MAC address, no MAC implementation, and does not pass packets up to higher-level protocol entities for processing. (When a network management entity is observing a repeater, it may appear as though the repeater is passing packets to a higher-level protocol entity. However, this is only a means of implementing management, and this passing of management information is not part of the repeater functionality.) de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 5]

The following references are used throughout this MIB module: [IEEE 802.3 Std] refers to IEEE 802.3/ISO 8802-3 Information processing systems - Local area networks - Part 3: Carrier sense multiple access with de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications (1993). [IEEE 802.3 Mgt] refers to IEEE 802.3u-1995, '10 Mb/s & 100 Mb/s Management, Section 30,' Supplement to ANSI/IEEE 802.3. The following terms are used throughout this MIB module. For complete formal definitions, the IEEE 802.3 standards should be consulted wherever possible: System - A managed entity compliant with this MIB, and incorporating at least one managed 802.3 repeater. Chassis - An enclosure for one managed repeater, part of a managed repeater, or several managed repeaters. It typically contains an integral power supply and a variable number of available module slots. Repeater-unit - The portion of the repeater set that is inboard of the physical media interfaces. The physical media interfaces (MAUs, AUIs) may be physically separated from the repeater-unit, or they may be integrated into the same physical package. Trivial repeater-unit - An isolated port that can gather statistics. Group - A recommended, but optional, entity defined by the IEEE 802.3 management standard, in order to support a modular numbering scheme. The classical example allows an implementor to represent field-replaceable units as groups of ports, with the port numbering matching the modular hardware implementation. System interconnect segment - An internal segment allowing interconnection of ports belonging to different physical entities into the same logical manageable repeater. Examples of implementation might be backplane busses in modular hubs, or chaining cables in stacks of hubs. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 Stack - A scalable system that may include managed repeaters, in which modularity is achieved by interconnecting a number of different chassis. Module - A building block in a modular chassis. It typically maps into one 'slot'; however, the range of configurations may be very large, with several modules entering one slot, or one module covering several slots.

It defines objects which allow a network management application to instruct an agent to watch for a given MAC address and report which port it was seen on. Only one address search can be in progress on each repeater at any one time. Before starting an address search, a management application should obtain 'ownership' of the entry in rptrAddrSearchTable for the repeater that is to perform the search. This is accomplished with the rptrAddrSearchLock and rptrAddrSearchStatus as follows: try_again: get(rptrAddrSearchLock, rptrAddrSearchStatus) while (rptrAddrSearchStatus != notInUse) { /* Loop waiting for objects to be available*/ short delay get(rptrAddrSearchLock, rptrAddrSearchStatus) } /* Try to claim map objects */ lock_value = rptrAddrSearchLock if ( set(rptrAddrSearchLock = lock_value, rptrAddrSearchStatus = inUse, rptrAddrSearchOwner = 'my-IP-address) == FAILURE) /* Another manager got the lock */ goto try_again /* I have the lock */ set (rptrAddrSearchAddress = <search target>) wait for rptrAddrSearchState to change from none if (rptrAddrSearchState == single) get (rptrAddrSearchGroup, rptrAddrSearchPort) de Graaf, et. al.

The management station then tries to set the same instance of the rptrAddrSearchLock object to the value it just retrieved, the same instance of the rptrAddrSearchStatus object to 'inUse', and the corresponding instance of rptrAddrSearchOwner to a value indicating itself. If the set operation succeeds, then the management station has obtained ownership of the rptrAddrSearchEntry, and the value of rptrAddrSearchLock is incremented by the agent (as per the semantics of TestAndIncr). Failure of the set operation indicates that some other manager has obtained ownership of the rptrAddrSearchEntry. Once ownership is obtained, the management station can proceed with the search operation. Note that the agent will reset rptrAddrSearchStatus to 'notInUse' if it has been in the 'inUse' state for an abnormally long period of time, to prevent a misbehaving manager from permanently locking the entry. It is suggested that this timeout period be between one and five minutes. When the management station has completed its search operation, it should free the entry by setting the instance of the rptrAddrSearchLock object to the previous value + 1, the instance of the rptrAddrSearchStatus to 'notInUse', and the instance of rptrAddrSearchOwner to a zero length string.

RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 4. Topology Mapping The network mapping algorithm presented below takes information available from network devices such as repeaters, bridges, and switches, and creates a representation of the physical topology of the network. Networking devices connect to the network via one or more ports. Through these ports, the device is capable of hearing network packets sent by other devices. By looking the source address in the packet, and identifying which port the packet was heard on, the device can provide information to a Network Management System about the location of an address in the network, relative to that device. For devices such as bridges and switches, the association of address to port can be retrieved via the forwarding data base part of the Bridge MIB. For repeaters, the rptrAddrSearchTable may be used to perform the association. Given this information, it would be possible for the NMS to create a topology of the network which represents the physical relationships of the devices in the networks. The following is an example of how this might be done: Assume the network: ============================= | | | | | | d1 d4 d7 / \ | / \ | d2 d3 d5 | | d6 The discovery process would first determine the existence of the network devices and nodes in the network. In the above example, the network devices discovered would be: d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7 From this list of discovered devices, select (arbitrarily or via some heuristic) a device as the starting point. From that device, determine where all other devices are located in the network with respect to the selected device. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 75]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 For example, if d1 is the selected device, the network in relation to d1 would look like: d1 / | \ / | \ d2 d3 d4,d5,d6,d7 So d1 sees d2 on one port, d3 on another port, and d4, d5, and d6 on the third port. In other words, using the rptrAddrSearchTable (if d1 is a repeater) or the Forwarding Database (if it is a bridge or a switch), d1 has located d2 on one port, d1 has located d3 on another port, and finally, d1 has located d4, d5, d6, and d7 on yet another port. After the first step of the algorithm is accomplished, the next and final step is a recursive one. Go to each of these temporary 'segments' (e.g., the segment connecting d1 and d2, or the segment connecting d1 and d3, or the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6, and d7) and determine which of these devices really belongs in that segment. As new segments are created due to this process, the recursive algorithm visits them, and performs the exact same process. In the example, the segments connecting d1 and d2, and connecting d1 and d3, require no further scrutiny, since there are only two nodes in those segments. However, the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6, and d7 may prove to be one or more segments, so we will investigate it. The purpose of this step is to determine which devices are really connected to this segment, and which are actually connected downstream. This is done by giving each of the child devices in the segment (d4, d5, d6, and d7) a chance to eliminate each of the others from the segment. A device eliminates another device by showing that it hears the parent device (in this case, d1) on one port, and the other device on another port (different from the port on which it heard the parent). If this is true, then it must mean that that device is _between_ the parent device and the device which is being eliminated. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 76]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 In the example, we can see that device d4 can eliminate both d5 and d6, , but nobody can eliminate d4 and d7, because everybody hears them on the same port that they hear the parent device (d1). So the resulting topology looks like: d1 / | \ / | \ d2 d3 d4,d7 | | d5,d6 Next the algorithm visits the next segment, which is the one connecting d4, d5, and d6. Using the process stated above, d5 can eliminate d6, since it hears d4 on a different port from where it hears d6. Finally, the topology looks like: d1 / | \ / | \ d2 d3 d4,d7 | | d5 | | d6 This is actually the topology shown at the beginning of the description. With this information about how the network devices are connected, it is a relatively simple extension to then place nodes such as workstations and PCs in the network. This can be done by placing the node into a segment, then allowing the network devices to show that the node is really not part of that segment. This elimination can be done because the devices know what port connects them to the segment on which the node is temporarily placed. If they actually hear the node on a different port than that which connects the device to the segment, then the node must be downstream, and so it is moved onto the downstream segment. Then that segment is evaluated, and so forth. Eventually, no device can show that the node is connected downstream, and so it must be attached to that segment. de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 77]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 For example, assume the network: ============================= | | | | | | d1 d4 d7 / \ | / \ | d2 d3 d5 | | | | e1 d6 In this network, we are trying to place e1 where it belongs. We begin by placing it arbitrarily into a segment: ================================== | | | | | | | | e1 d1 d4 d7 / \ | / \ | d2 d3 d5 | | d6 In the above case, we would give d1, d4, and d7 a chance to show that e1 is not really on that segment. d4 and d7 hear e1 on the same port which connects them to that segment, so they cannot eliminate e1 from the segment. However, d1 will hear e1 on a different port, so we move e1 down onto the segment which is connected by that port. This yields the following: ============================= | | | | | | d1 d4 d7 / \ | / \ | d2 d3,e1 d5 | | d6 de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 78]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 Now we give everyone in that segment (besides that parent device, d1) a chance to eliminate e1. Only d3 can try, and it succeeds, so we place e1 on segment which is connected by the port on which d3 heard e1. There is no segment there (yet), so we create one, and end up with the following: ============================= | | | | | | d1 d4 d7 / \ | / \ | d2 d3 d5 | | | | e1 d6 which is the correct position. 5.
