ENTERASYS-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-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 a portion of the SNMP enterprise
         MIBs under Enterasys Networks' enterprise OID pertaining to
         MAC-Authentication.

         This MIB was designed to be used for authentication using
         source MAC addresses received in traffic on ports under
         control of MAC-authentication.

         The security afforded by this approach is neither the primary
         concern nor intent of this MIB.  Rather, this MIB provides
         a convenient method of associating policy with MAC
         addresses and applying that policy when the MAC address
         appears on a pre-approved port in the network.

         The term MAC-Authentication is used because an authentication
         backend mechanism is used to allow the MAC onto the network,
         as well as provide authorization information to the switch."
