CISCO-ASPP-MIB by vendor Cisco

CISCO-ASPP-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

        DESCRIPTION
   
               "The ASPP MIB provides the configuration and operational 
                information on asynchronous polled protocols such as the
                asynchronous security protocols that alarm monitoring 
                companies use. The protocols are handled in passthrough 
                mode. ASPP will handle the receiving and sending of the 
                asychronous blocks. It will not perform any error 
                checking. It is the responsibilty of the end-station to
                perform any required error recovery. A generic protocol
                has been created to support asychronous protocols. In 
                some situations this doesn't work for all types since
                there is no alarm protocol standard. Specific vendor 
                support has been included for the following vendor's 
                alarm equipment and protocols:
                  * adplex
                  * adt
                     - PollSelect
                     - VariPoll
                  * diebold
                  * mdi
                  * mosec (mosler)
                  * gddb (Guang Dong Development Bank) 
                     - This protocol is similar to Burroughs Poll/Select

                The following example configuration shows how the 
                ASPP MIB returns ASPP information, from either CISCO A 
                or  CISCO B.
  
             Security == ASP == Cisco == IP    == Cisco == ASP == Alarm
             control              A      Network    B             Panel
             station      
                
                The following entities are managed:

                1) ASPP ports (serial interfaces)

                The ASPP ports are identified by the interface index, 
                and additional information about this interface can be 
                obtained from the Cisco Serial Interface MIB."

        REVISION        "200302100000Z"
        DESCRIPTION
                "Added Asynchronous Point of Sale(POS) to IP conversion 
                 support.
              
                 The APOS protocol utilizes asynchrounous communications
                 with   1 start, 1 stop and  7 data bits with  even 
                 parity. The connection to the POS terminal will always
                 be an asynchronous leased line. The protocol has many 
                 characteristics of BSC except it is simplified to 
                 minimize overhead on the point to point connection. 
 
                 The added APOS traffic will be locally acknowledged 
                 unlike the other polled asynchronous protocol which 
                 function in passthrough mode.
            
                 The LRC/VRC will be verified and any necessary recovery
                 will be done by the router.
                 
                 This is necessary since we are converting the protocol
                 so the data can be passed to an IP attached host."
