SNMP - Overview
Network
protocols
Transport
layer (UDP/IP)
Message protocol (ASN.1)
Versions
SNMPv1
SNMPv2
SNMPv3
OSI
network management implementation

- CMOT
1999 BMC SOFTWARE, INC. 3/17/99
SNMP : Underlying Transport

UDP/IP implications (unsafe)
unreliable
no confirmation or guarantee
order uncertain
may duplicate
unsecure
No authentication on transport layer
No verification of origin (message spoofing)
No integrity (message can be tampered with)
SNMP message protocol

ASN.1 (iso 8824 - abstract notation one)
Does
information exchange with well defined syntax

comparable in functionality with XML
BER (iso 8825)

Basic
Encoding Rules
TLV (Type, Length, Value) encoding
Management Operations
Get,
for
Get Next, Set

SNMPv1
Get
Bulk (for SNMPv2)

Unsolicited Traps from Agent (v1)
Informs (v3 and v3)
Get Request handling

Agent
gets request from mgr
listens
on specific port : typically 161

receives PDU : request ID + OID
Lookup
of OID in memory
Agent sends get response
request
ID
OID
error
status + index
value
Similar
for get-next operation
returns
next OID in tree
Trap sending
SNMP Agent determines when
7 predefined Generic trap types (0-6)
6=enterpriseSpecfic
Send
via to port 162 on trap receiving machine

Trap destinations has to be configured
Patrol
: /snmp/piV1m_list
Listening for traps

Only one process can listen on a port
That means only one trap listener per system !
Solution :
PATROL : trap demultiplexer (Dietmar Hildebrand)
No PATROL : (DIY= write your own)
MIB (Management Information Base)

The
MIB file
textual
description of MIB layout

Written in SMI : Structure of Managment Information
SMI
(the MIB definition language)
Support
for multiple datatypes

Support for data definitions : indexed tables, structures,
values,...
NAMING in MIB
1 iso
Naming hierarchy
unique identifier, down to the 3 org
instance of any object

No Master Agent is needed for this !

Configuring PATROL for SNMP

Set the port number and community name for the PATROL SNMP
Master Agent
ThePATROLSNMPMasterAgent/SubAgentmodelisbasedonan
industrystandardknownasSMUXthatallowsoneormoreSNMPSub
AgentstoconnecttoasingleSNMPMasterAgentusingaTCPSMUX

Turn on the SNMP support variable.
agent configuration variable /snmp/agent_auto_start is set to yes,
the PATROL Agent starts the SNMP Sub-Agent when the PATROL
Agent is started
Add the SNMP manager to the list of interested SNMPV1 managers.

PATROL Agent as SNMP sub agent

Ability
to send traps
Has an accessible MIB
To access MIB, the master agent must be set up
correctly

Sending traps
Automatically
From
event catalogs
Trap destinations : piV1m_List ( + /snmp/trapMibTable=yes)
Filter possibility (see config.default for filter options)
From

1st step : Starting SNMP subsystem

PATROL SNMP functionality can be stopped
snmp_agent_start()
starts
SNMP support
snmp_agent_stop()
stops
SNMP support
snmp_agent_config()
tells
46
if SNMP support is active
PSL functions for SNMP managers

All SNMPv1 functions
snmp_(h_)get
snmp_(h_)get_next
snmp_(h_)set
Plus
snmp_walk
(just loop around get_next)

No support for v2(c), v3 !!
security,
47
bulk get, new datatypes
Return format of snmp_functions

If type is
String and first character printable
OID
<tab> [strlen] <tab> string <tab> [actual string]
String
OID
<tab> [strlen] <tab> string <tab> [series of hex]
gauge,
OID
and first character non-printable

timeticks
<tab> [type] <tab> [value] <tab> ([hex-value])
integer, oid,
OID
48
ipAddress
<tab> [type] <tab> [value]
Receiving traps
PSL functions
snmp_trap_ignore
: close all listeners (close socket)

snmp_trap_listen : start listening for traps (open socket)
starts accumulating traps
snmp_trap_receive : process incoming traps (block/poll based)
only 1 per agent
Functionality
is based on a gentlemen's agreement

Only one receiver for multiple KMs
Need for a trap dispatcher in PATROL ?
49
Getting info from other SNMP Agents

What is an SNMP session in PATROL ?
snmp_open()
: opens an SNMP session

snmp_close() : closes an SNMP session
snmp_config() : lists the SNMP sessions
No
real session (like TCP session) because

SNMP = connectionless / stateless
just a memory structure, so ...
Easier
for the developer open session once, reuse the

session with the session attributes !
Allows you to set timeouts/retries/port
Faster
