CISCO-ENTITY-PROVISIONING-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
        "This MIB module defines the objects that support provisioning
        of 'container' class physical entities.  Provisioning sets up
        a 'container' to hold a specified physical entity.  This allows
        a management client to configure the specified physical entity,
        including all of its subordinates physical entities, before
        installation.

        Consider a network manager of a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange
        Carrier) planning for the installation of the hardware necessary
        to support several new subscribers.  This network manager wants
        to pre-configure the ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop)
        modems that will support these subscribers, thereby reducing the
        bring-up time once they arrive.  Under normal circumstances this
        would not be possible.  However, provisioning allows the network
        manager to 'create' the physical entities that represent the new
        modems.  In essence, the device simulates the installation of
        the new modules into the system.  This has the effect of creating
        all conceptual rows in all the necessary tables that support the
        physical entity and all its subordinate physical entities (e.g.,
        entPhysicalTable, entAliasMappingTable, and ifTable)."

    DESCRIPTION
        "This object represents the equipment status of the container:

        'unequipped'    The container neither holds a physical entity,
                        nor has it been provisioned to hold a physical
                        entity.

        'provisioned'   The container does not hold a physical entity
                        However, it has been provisioned to hold a
                        physical entity of a particular type.  This
                        physical entity appears in the entPhysicalTable
                        as a child of the container.

        'mismatched'    The container holds a valid physical entity that
                        does not match the type of physical entity for
                        which the container has been previously
                        provisioned.

        'invalid'       The container holds a recognized physical entity
                        that the container is not capable of supporting,
                        or the container holds an unrecognized physical
                        entity.

        'equipped'      The container holds a valid physical entity for
                        which the container has been previously
                        provisioned to hold.

        'failed'        The container holds a valid physical entity that
                        has become totally inoperable and incapable of
                        providing service."
