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.

Such a (subtree, list) tuple defines a set of objects and their values to be collected as accounting data for a connection. The subtree specifies a single OBJECT IDENTIFIER value such that each object in the set is named by the subtree value appended with a single additional sub-identifier." SYNTAX OBJECT IDENTIFIER DataCollectionList ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The list component of a (subtree, list) tuple. Such a (subtree, list) tuple defines a set of objects and their values to be collected as accounting data for a connection. The subtree specifies a single OBJECT IDENTIFIER value such that each object in the set is named by the subtree value appended with a single additional sub-identifier. The list specifies a set of data items, where the presence of an item in the list indicates that the item is (to be) present in the data collected for a connection; the absence of an item from the list indicates that the item is not (to be) present in the data collected for a connection. Each data item is represented by an integer which when appended (as as additional sub-identifier) to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value of the subtree identified by the tuple, is the name of an object defining that data item (its description and its syntax). The list is specified as an OCTET STRING in which each data item is represented by a single bit, where data items 1 through 8 are represented by the bits in the first octet, data items 9 through 16 by the bits in the second octet, etc. In each octet, the lowest numbered data item is represented by the most significant bit, and the highest numbered data item by the least significant bit. A data item is present in the list when its bit is set, and absent when its bit is reset. If the length of an OCTET STRING value is too short to represent one or more data items defined in a subtree, then those data items are absent from the set identified by the tuple of that subtree and that OCTET STRING value."

An agent may refuse to create new conceptual rows and/or modify existing conceptual rows, if such creation/modification would cause multiple rows to have the same values of acctngSelectionSubtree and acctngSelectionList. A conceptual row can not have the status of 'active' until values have been assigned to the acctngSelectionSubtree, acctngSelectionList and acctngSelectionFile columnar objects within that row. An agent must not refuse to change the values of the acctngSelectionSubtree, acctngSelectionList and acctngSelectionFile columnar objects within a conceptual row even while that row's status is 'active'. Similarly, an agent must not refuse to destroy an existing conceptual row while the file referenced by that row's instance of acctngSelectionFile is in active use, i.e., while the corresponding instance of acctngFileRowStatus has the value 'active'.

If files are named using suffixes, then the name of the current file is the concatenation of acctngFileName and acctngFileNameSuffix. An agent will respond with an error (e.g., 'wrongValue') to a management set operation which attempts to modify the value of this object to the same value as already held by another instance of acctngFileName. An agent will also respond with an error (e.g., 'wrongValue') if the new value is invalid for use as a file name on the local file system (e.g., many file systems do not support white space embedded in file names). The value of this object can not be modified while the corresponding instance of acctngFileRowStatus is 'active'." ::= { acctngFileEntry 2 } acctngFileNameSuffix OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE(0..8)) MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The suffix, if any, of the name of a file into which accounting data is currently being stored.

When read the value is either 'idle' or 'cmdInProgress'. Writing a value is only allowed when the current value is 'idle'. When a value is successfully written, the value changes to 'cmdInProgress' until completion of the action, at which time the value reverts to 'idle'. Actions are invoked by writing the following values: 'swapToNewFile' - the collection of data into the current file is terminated, and collection continues into a new (version of the) file. 'collectNow' - the agent creates and stores a connection record into the current file for each active connection having a type matching acctngSelectionType and an age greater than acctngFileMinAge." DEFVAL { idle } ::= { acctngFileEntry 5 } acctngFileMaximumSize OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 (100..2147483647) UNITS "bytes" MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The maximum size of the file (including header information). When the file of collected data reaches this size, either the agent automatically swaps to a new version (i.e., a new value acctngFileNameSuffix) of the file, or new records are discarded. Since a file must contain an integral number of connection records, the actual maximum size of the file may be just less OR Just greater than the value of this object. The value of this object can not be modified while the corresponding instance of acctngFileRowStatus is 'active'. The largest value of the maximum file size in some agents will be less than 2147483647 bytes."

DEFVAL { ber } ::= { acctngFileEntry 8 } acctngFileCollectMode OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX BITS { onRelease(0), periodically(1) } MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication of when accounting data is to be written into this file. Note that in addition to the occasions indicated by the value of this object, an agent always writes information on appropriate connections to the file when the corresponding instance of acctngFileCommand is set to 'collectNow'. - 'onRelease' - whenever a connection (or possibly, connection attempt) is terminated, either through a Release message or through management removal, information on that connection is written. - 'periodically' - information on appropriate connections is written on the expiry of a periodic timer, This value may be modified at any time." DEFVAL { { onRelease } } ::= { acctngFileEntry 9 } acctngFileCollectFailedAttempts OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX BITS { soft(0), regular(1) } MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication of whether connection data is to be collected for failed connection attempts when the value of the corresponding instance of acctngFileCollectMode includes 'onRelease'. The individual values have the following meaning: 'soft' - indicates that connection data is to be collected for failed Soft PVCs/PVPs which originate or terminate at the relevant interface. 'regular' - indicates that connection data is to be collected for failed SVCs, including Soft PVCs/PVPs not originating or terminating at the relevant interface. This value may be modified at any time." DEFVAL { { soft, regular } } ::= { acctngFileEntry 10 } acctngFileInterval OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 (60..86400) UNITS "seconds" MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of seconds between the periodic collections of accounting data when the value of the corresponding instance of acctngFileCollectMode includes 'periodically'. Some agents may impose restrictions on the range of this interval. This value may be modified at any time." DEFVAL { 3600 } ::= { acctngFileEntry 11 } acctngFileMinAge OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 (60..86400) UNITS "seconds" MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The minimum age of a connection, as used to determine the set of connections for which data is to be collected at the periodic intervals and/or when acctngFileCommand is set to 'collectNow'. The age of a connection is the elapsed time since it was last installed. When the periodic interval expires for a file or when acctngFileCommand is set to 'collectNow', accounting data is collected and stored in the file for each connection having a type matching acctngSelectionType and whose age at that time is greater than the value of acctngFileMinAge associated with the file. This value may be modified at any time." DEFVAL { 3600 } ::= { acctngFileEntry 12 } acctngFileRowStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX RowStatus MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The status of this conceptual row. This object can not be set to 'active' until a value has been assigned to the corresponding instance of acctngFileName. Collection of data into the file does not begin until this object has the value 'active' and one or more (active) instances of acctngSelectionFile refer to it. If this value is modified after a collection has begun, collection into this file terminates and a new (or new version of the) file is immediately made ready for future collection (as if acctngFileCommand had been set to 'swapToNewFile'), but collection into the new (or new version of the) file does not begin until the value is subsequently set back to active." ::= { acctngFileEntry 13 } -- Overall Control acctngAdminStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { enabled(1), disabled(2) } MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A control object to indicate the administratively desired state of the collection of accounting records across all interfaces. Modifying the value of acctngAdminStatus to 'disabled' does not remove or change the current configuration as represented by the active rows in the acctngSelectionTable, acctngFileTable and acctngInterfaceTable tables." ::= { acctngInterfaceControl 1 } acctngOperStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { enabled(1), disabled(2) } MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A status object to indicate the operational state of the collection of accounting records across all interfaces. When the value of acctngAdminStatus is modified to be 'enabled', the value of this object will change to 'enabled' providing it is possible to begin collecting accounting records. When the value of acctngAdminStatus is modified to be 'disabled', the value of this object will change to 'disabled' as soon as the collection of accounting records has terminated." ::= { acctngInterfaceControl 2 } acctngProtection OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TestAndIncr MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A control object to protect against duplication of control commands. Over some transport/network protocols, it is possible for SNMP messages to get duplicated. Such duplication, if it occurred at just the wrong time could cause serious disruption to the collection and retrieval of accounting data, e.g., if a SNMP message setting acctngFileCommand to 'swapToNewFile' were to be duplicated, a whole file of accounting data could be lost. To protect against such duplication, a management application should retrieve the value of this object, and include in the Set operation needing protection, a variable binding which sets this object to the retrieved value." ::= { acctngInterfaceControl 3 } acctngAgentMode OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { swapOnCommand(1), swapOnFull(2) } MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication of the behaviour mode of the agent when a file becomes full: 'swapOnCommand' - the agent does not automatically swap to a new file; rather, it discards newly collected data until a management application subsequently instructs it to swap to a new file. 'swapOnFull' - the agent terminates collection into the current file as and when that file becomes full." ::= { acctngInterfaceControl 4 } -- Per-interface control table acctngInterfaceTable OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF AcctngInterfaceEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A table controlling the collection of accounting data on specific interfaces of the switch." ::= { acctngInterfaceControl 5 } acctngInterfaceEntry OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX AcctngInterfaceEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An entry which controls whether accounting data is to be collected on an interface.

The value of 0 indicates that no 'nearly-full' trap is to be generated." ::= { acctngTrapControl 1 } acctngControlTrapEnable OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TruthValue MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication of whether the acctngFileNearlyFull and acctngFileFull traps are enabled." ::= { acctngTrapControl 2 } -- notifications acctngNotifications OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { accountingControlMIB 2 } acctngNotifyPrefix OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { acctngNotifications 0 } acctngFileNearlyFull NOTIFICATION-TYPE OBJECTS { acctngFileName, acctngFileMaximumSize, acctngControlTrapThreshold, acctngFileNameSuffix } STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication that the size of the file into which accounting information is currently being collected has exceeded the threshold percentage of its maximum file size. This notification is generated only at the time of the transition from not-exceeding to exceeding." ::= { acctngNotifyPrefix 1 } acctngFileFull NOTIFICATION-TYPE OBJECTS { acctngFileName, acctngFileMaximumSize, acctngFileNameSuffix } STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An indication that the size of the file into which accounting information is currently being collected has transistioned to its maximum file size. This notification is generated (for all values of acctngAgentMode) at the time of the transition from not-full to full. If acctngAgentMode has the value 'swapOnCommand', it is also generated periodically thereafter until such time as collection of data is no longer inhibited by the file full condition." ::= { acctngNotifyPrefix 2 } -- conformance information acctngConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { accountingControlMIB 3 } acctngGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { acctngConformance 1 } acctngCompliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { acctngConformance 2 } acctngCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The compliance statement for switches which implement the Accounting Control MIB."
