CISCO-HSRP-MIB device MIB details by Cisco

CISCO-HSRP-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.

-- This MIB provides a means to monitor and configure the Cisco IOS
-- proprietary Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). Cisco HSRP protocol is
-- defined in RFC2281 (informational rfc).

-- Terminology:
-- HSRP is a protocol used amoung a group of routers for the purpose of
-- selecting an "active router" and a "standby router".

-- An "active router" is the router of choice for routing packets.

-- A "standby router" is a router that takes over the routing duties
-- when an active router fails, or when preset conditions have been met.

-- An "HSRP group" or a "standby group" is a set of routers which communicate
-- using HSRP. An HSRP group has a group MAC address and a group Virtual IP
-- address. These are the designated addresses. The active router assumes
-- (i.e. inherits) these group addresses.

-- "Hello" messages are sent to indicate that a router is running and is
-- capable of becoming the active or standby router.

-- "Hellotime" is the interval between successive HSRP Hello messages from a
-- given router.

-- "Holdtime" is the interval between the receipt of a Hello message and the
-- presumption that the sending router has failed.

                use cHsrpGrpRowStatus to control entry modification, creation
                and deletion.

                Setting cHsrpGrpRowStatus to 'active' causes the router to
                communicate using HSRP.

                The value of cHsrpGrpRowStatus may be set to 'destroy' at any
                time.

                Entries may not be created via SNMP without explicitly setting
                cHsrpGrpRowStatus to either 'createAndGo' or 'createAndWait'.

                Entries can be created and modified via the management
                protocol or by the device's local management interface.

                A management application wishing to create an entry should
                choose the ifIndex of the interface which is to be added
                as part of an HSRP group. Also, a cHsrpGrpNumber should
                be chosen. A group number is unique only amongst the groups
                on a particular interface. The value of the group number
                appears in packets which are transmitted and received on a
                LAN segment to which the router is connected. The application
                must select the group number as explained in the description
                for cHsrpGrpNumber.

                If the row is not active, and a local management interface
                command modifies that row, the row may transition to active
                state.

                A row which is not in active state will timeout after a
                configurable period (five minutes by default). This timeout
                period can be changed by setting cHsrpConfigTimeout."

        DESCRIPTION
                "Mac Addresses used are as specified in RFC 2281. For ethernet
                and fddi interfaces, a MAC address will be in the range
                00:00:0c:07:ac:00 through 00:00:0c:07:ac:ff. The last octet is
                the hexadecimal equivalent of cHsrpGrpNumber (0-255).

                Some Ethernet and FDDI interfaces allow a unicast MAC address
                for each HSRP group. Certain Ethernet chipsets(LANCE Ethernet,
                VGANYLAN and QUICC Ethernet) only support a single Unicast
                Mac Address. In this case, only one HSRP group is allowed.

                For TokenRing interfaces, the following three MAC addresses
                are permitted (functional addresses):
                             C0:00:00:01:00:00
                             C0:00:00:02:00:00
