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.

--       Textual Conventions.

--
-- General Conventions:
--

Hex          ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents an Unsigned32 value that should be displayed
--     in Hexadecimal format."

Gauge64      ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (8))
--    " Represents a 64-bit integer value that has the semantics of 
--    a gauge. This value is encoded as eight octets where the first
--    octet is the most significant (big-endian encoding)."

Unsigned64   ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (8))
--    " Represents a 64-bit integer value that has no particular 
--    semantics (that is, is not a Counter or a Gauge). This 
--    value is encoded as eight octets where the first octet
--    is the most significant (big-endian encoding)."

DigitString  ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents a string of decimal digits, that is 0..9.
--    Each OCTET contains the ASCII representation of a single digit."

WildcardedDigitString  ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents a string of decimal digits, that is 0..9,
--    or the question mark character '?' that acts as a wildcard
--    character for any single digit.
--    Each OCTET contains the ASCII representation of a single digit
--    or the ASCII representation of the wild card character."

HexString    ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents an OCTET STRING that should be displayed in hex."

AsciiString  ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents a string of printable Ascii characters in the range
--    32 to 127. Newlines may appear in read-only variables."

ExtendedAsciiString ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents an OCTET STRING that should be displayed as ASCII 
--    where there is a correspondence to AsciiString and as `\xx` 
--    otherwise."

DashedHexString ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..1024))
--    " Represents an OCTET STRING that should be displayed in hex 
--    with dash seperators."

EnterpriseDateAndTime 
    ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE ( 0 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 10 | 13 | 16 | 19 ))
--    "A date-time specification.
--
--        Octets      Contents     Range
--       ==================================
--         1-4          year     0000..9999
--         5            '-'          na
--         6-7         month       01..12
--         8            '-'          na
--         9-10         day        01..31
--         11       ' ' (space)      na
--         12-13       hour        00..23
--         14           ':'          na
--         15-16       minutes     00..59
--         17           ':'          na
--         18-19       seconds     00..60
--
--    Only those fields applicable will be present. An invocation
--    of this textual convention will include the size limitation
--    appropriate for the corresponding time precision . The correspondence
--    between the length of the OCTET STRING and the time precision is:
--             2 - corresponds to H (Octets 12-13 present)
--             5 - corresponds to HM (Octets 12-16 present)
--             8 - corresponds to HMS (Octets 12-19 present)
--            10 - corresponds to D (Octets 1-10 present)
--            13 - corresponds to DH (Octets 1-13 present)
--            16 - corresponds to DHM (Octets 1-16 present)
--            19 - corresponds to DHMS (Octets 1-19 present)
--    For example, Tuesday May 26, 1992 at 1:30:15 PM EDT might be
--    encoded using the DHM option as:
--                    1992-05-26 13:30:15 "


Link         ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
--    " Similar to the RowPointer textual convention which points to
--    to the RowStatus variable of a component having a relationship
--    to the present component. For example, a service-user
--    service-provider relationship is modelled using bidirectional Links."

IntegerSequence ::= OCTET STRING
--    " Represents an ASCII encoded integer sequence with dot '.' 
--    seperators. For example: 1.156.5.63 would be encoded as: 
--                   49 46 49 53 54 46 53 46 54 51 "

FixedPoint1 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with one decimal place. For

--    as the decimal value: 12345678.9 "

FixedPoint2 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with two decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated,

--    as the decimal value: 123456.789 "

FixedPoint4 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with four decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated, 
--    as the decimal value: 12345.6789 "

FixedPoint5 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with five decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated, 
--    as the decimal value: 1234.56789 "

FixedPoint6 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with six decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated, 
--    as the decimal value: 123.456789 "

FixedPoint7 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with seven decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated, 
--    as the decimal value: 12.3456789 "

FixedPoint8 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with eight decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise treated, 
--    as the decimal value: 1.23456789 "

FixedPoint9 ::= Unsigned32
--    " Represents a fixed point value with eight decimal places. For 
--    example, the value 123456789 should be displayed, and otherwise 
--    treated, as the decimal value: 0.123456789 "

--
-- Conventions specific to component indexing:
--

AsciiStringIndex ::= OCTET STRING
--    " Represents a string of printable Ascii characters, excluding
--    whitespace, lower case letters, the double quote character and
--    the <>/:* characters. " 

NonReplicated ::= INTEGER {present(1)}
--    " Represents a type used to index a table containing 0 or 1 rows."
