RFC1231-MIB by vendor RFC

RFC1231-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.

-- All representations of MAC addresses in this MIB Module
-- use, as a textual convention (i.e. this convention does
-- not affect their encoding), the data type:

MacAddress ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE (6))    -- a 6 octet
                                          -- address in the
                                          -- "canonical" order
-- defined by IEEE 802.1a, i.e., as if it were transmitted
-- least significant bit first, even though 802.5 (in
-- contrast to other 802.x protocols) requires MAC addresses
-- to be transmitted most significant bit first.
--
-- 16-bit addresses, if needed, are represented by setting
-- their upper 4 octets to all 0's, i.e., AAFF would be
-- represented as 00000000AAFF.



-- The Interface Table

-- This table contains state and parameter information which

-- systems having 802.5 interfaces implement this table in
-- addition to the generic interfaces table [4,6] and its
-- generic extensions [11].

testInsertFunc    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot5Tests 1 }

-- Invoking this test causes the station to test the insert
-- ring logic of the hardware if the station's lobe media

dot5ChipSets   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot5 4 }

-- The extensions to the interfaces table proposed in [11]
-- define an object, ifExtnsChipSet, with the syntax of
-- OBJECT IDENTIFIER, to identify the hardware chip set in
-- use by an interface.  That definition specifies just
-- one applicable object identifier:
--
--    unknownChipSet
--
-- for use as the value of ifExtnsChipSet when the specific
-- chip set is unknown.
--
-- This MIB defines the following for use as values of
-- ifExtnsChipSet:

   -- IBM 16/4 Mb/s
chipSetIBM16       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot5ChipSets 1 }

   -- TI 4Mb/s
chipSetTItms380    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot5ChipSets 2 }

   -- TI 16/4 Mb/s
chipSetTItms380c16 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot5ChipSets 3 }
