The exact procedure is as follows: a. send a request to osimis-licence@cs.ucl.ac.uk (NOT to this list) b. a soft copy of the licence will be sent to you by e-mail c. a signed hard copy of the licence should be sent to UCL by snail-mai l d. as soon as the latter is received, information on FTAM/FTP access to an encrypted copy and the required decryption key will be sent to you OSIMIS-4.0 is substantially enhanced compared to version 3.0 and has been developed by the RACE ICM and MIDAS projects. A description is accessible through WWW: From the features described there, conditional packages are not yet properly supported. In short, new developments include: - a GDMO compiler and an enhanced "plug-in" MO API - a high level manager access API (RMIB) - object and state management, alarm reporting and metric objects - standard event reporting and logging - security extensions (authentication and integrity checking) - location transparency / discovery service using the OSI directory - a full CMIS/P-SNMP generic proxy facility conforming to the NMF IIMC work - a facility to allow management systems to work transparently over simulated network/services - various performance/size optimisations - interoperability / conformance and many other fixes OSIMIS-4.0 needs ISODE-7.0, 8.0 or the ISODE Consortium R1.0 and can be built using the GNU C++ 2.5.8 and earlier versions or the ATT 2.1. A pre-built version (binaries) for Sun SPARC / SunOS 4.1.3 built with gcc/g++ 2.5.8 is also available. Operating systems supported are SunOS (not Solaris), AIX and HP-UX. There is no new users' manual but enough documentation to enable people to use the new features / convert old code.

That assumption was false. In fact there were several points on which the members of the IETF subcommittee could not a gree. Primary among them was the security and administrative needs of the protocol. Simply put, SNMPv2*/SNMPv1+/SNMPv1.5 is SNMPv2 without the contentious pieces, but *with* the stuff everyone agrees is of value.

While other MIBs usually are created to support a network device whose primary function is other than management, RMON was created to provide management of a network. RMON is one of the many SNMP based MIBs that are on the IETF Standards track. @31. RMON Standardization Status -------------------------------- RMON is one of the many SNMP based MIBs that are on the IETF Standards track (RFC 1310). Currently (Jan 94) RMON has two instantiations in the IETF standards process. First, RFC 1271 - a Proposed Standard, specifies the general structure of RMON and the particulars of an Ethernet based RMON agent. RFC 1513 - a Proposed Standard specifies the additional RMON groups and specifics for a Token Ring network. @32. RMON Working Group. ------------------------ The RMON Working Group is an IETF Working Group under the Network Management Area. The WG meets periodically - usually at all IETF meetings. The WG maintains a mailing list for Questions and Comments concerning RMON. Mail List: mailto:rmonmib@cs.hmc.edu ? If no luck there, try rmonmib@cisco.com The group's charter can be found at: http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/html.charters/rmonmib-charter.html @33. Joining the RMON Working Group Mailing List ----------------------------------------------- To join the RMON Working Group mailing list, send mail to: Mail List Request: mailto:rmonmib-request@jarthur.claremont.edu. DO NOT send a request to join message to the general mailing list. [Editor's Note: We have received a complaint that this request may bounce. The claremont.edu addresses may no longer be active] You may also wish to try: mailto:rmonmib-request@cisco.com (Thanks to James Stansell for the detective work.) @34. Historical RMON Records ----------------------------- There are copies of the RMON mailing list messages and meeting minutes within the IETF archive structure - available at various sites. There is also a RMON archive directory which can be accessed via anonymous ftp at: jarthur.cs.hmc.edu, directory /pub/rmon [Editor's Note: We have received a complaint that site no longer exists (or, was not at home when someone called). Anyone know if this site remains ac tive? Is this the same place as jarthur.claremont.edu?] @35. RMON Documents ----------------------- 1. RMON White Paper in the anonymous ftp directory at jarthur.cs.hmc.edu. There are two formats: frame and postscript. This paper was developed by members of the RMON working group prior to an Interop. It is a superficial discussion of RMON. 2. Chapter 7 in "SNMP, SNMPv2 and CMIP: The Practical Guide to Network Management Standards" by William Stallings, (c) 1993 Addison-Wesley, goes into some detail on the RMON MIB. @36-38 Reserved -------------- @39. What is ISODE? ------------------------ ISODE (pronounced "eye-so-DEE") is an acronym for "ISO Develoment Environment". It is an implementation of SNMP which can be used as the starting point for further refinement by you. In order to use it you must agree to the conditions. This quote is from "The Simple Book", 2nd ed.: "[ISODE] is openly available but is NOT in the public domain. You are allowed and encouraged to take this software and use it for any lawful purpose. However, as a condition of use, you are required to hold harmless all contributors." Most MIB compilers seen by this editor sprang from ISODE roots. @39a. Where can I get ISODE? -------------------------------- The old archive was ... ftp.ics.uci.edu:mrose/isode-snmpV2/isode-snmpV2.tar.Z 4BSD/ISODE 8.0 SNMPv2 package This distribution has moved.

Paul Rolland writes from France: "CMIP is the Common Management Information Protocol. It is an OSI protocol that has been defined for Network Management. It comes together with the CMIS (Commom Management Information Service). This service provides : monitoring: in this case, you are using CMIP to gain information, control: you can manipulate objects that you manage, reporting: Managed objects can tell you something wrong is happening." @41. ~Subject: What books should I read about CMIP? --------------------------------------- The collected OSI specifications are of sufficient bulk to sink a small craft in calm waters.

The UT-SNMP projectgroup --------------------------- description: Currently, we are building version 4 of the UT-SNMP package. In this new version we initialize the PartyMIB by a configuration file(s). The layout of this initialization file is defined and described in the "SNMPv2 Administrative Configuration Proposal" by Dave Perkins and John Seligson (Synoptics). Some projectmembers have made software to create those configuration file(s) in a very convenient manner. The software asks some simple questions and depending on the input generates the initialization file(s). package: UT-PERKINS-1_0.tar.Z programmers: Martijn Visser & Erwin Bonsma. postal: The UT-SNMP projectgroup Tele-Informatics and Open Systems Group Department of Computer Science P.O.

The tkined & scotty network management system ------------------------------------------------ The Technical University of Braunschweig has developed an extensible network management platform which uses the Tool Command Language (Tcl) as its primary extensions language. The tkined network editor is the graphical user interface which integrates applications that are usually written as Tcl scripts based on the scotty Tcl extension. scotty provides access to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 and a number of well known Internet services like DNS, various ICMP packets, NTP, TCP, UDP, SUN RPCs (mount, rstat, portmap) etc. Applications distributed with the scotty and tkined sources include network discovery, trouble-shooting applications, event filter, SNMP MIB browser etc. An experimental MIB browser is also available via WWW using the URL: http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/cgi-bin/sbrowser.cgi The SNMP Tcl extension uses a SNMPv1/v2 protocol stack written from scratch which was designed to directly support our Tcl API. This provides a portable and fast implementation. A brief history on SNMP Tcl extension is available using the URL: http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/projects/nm/scotty/tcl+snmp.html Information about the current status of the project, the mailing list and the availability of our software can be found at: http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/projects/nm/tkined/ http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/ibr/projects/nm/scotty/ g.

(from Mark Wallace) ----------------------- The comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc faq had this info on a DOS SNMP monitor package: Downright Speculation SNMP monitor Free Available at file://sun.soe.clarkson.edu/pub/packet-drivers/snmpsrc.zip. Also available at file://enh.nist.gov/misc/snmpsrc.zip, snmpsup.zip,snmpsun.tar_Z. j. from UC Davis & Wes Hardaker (see FTP list in Part 1 ) -------------------------------- News from Wes Hardaker: I just released 3.1.1 of the ucd-snmp package, available from ftp://ftp.ece.ucdavis.edu/pub/snmp/ucd-snmp.tar.gz as usual. The most major change is the mib parser now reads all files in PREFIX/lib/snmp/mibs as well as the mib.txt file. This should be a dramatic improvement to those who were used to 'cat'ing their mib files to the end of the default one. Wes Hardaker General info ------------ Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to the -request address of a mailinglist. In this case, send these requests to ucd-snmp-request@ece.ucdavis.edu. To subscribe to a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word "subscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list. To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word (you guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list. In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to first send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the new address), and then a new subscribe to the new address (the order is important). Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human intervention. Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail. Only one will be processed per mail. NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the maintainer. If you'd like to make sure a human reads your message, make it look like a reply (i.e. the first word in the Subject: field should be "Re:", without the quotes of course); the -request server does not react to replies. The archive server ------------------ The last 40 submissions to this list are archived for your convience. You can look at the header of every mail coming from this list to see under what name it has been archived. The X-Mailing-List: field contains the mailaddress of the list and the file in which this submission was archived. If you want to access this archive, you have to send mails to the -request address with the word "archive" as the first word of your Subject:. To get you started try sending a mail to the -request address with the following: Subject: archive help k. from pwilson: ---------------- New portable SNMP agent distribution is available under GPL. We call it snmp95. It is available for anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.std.com/vendors/snmp/snmp95/snmp95.tar.Z As well as number of other products named xxxx95 it is rather a transtional product representing current intermediate state of SNMPv1 -> SNMPv2 transition. First, let me describe what is there. 1. It is bi-lingual SNMPv1/SNMPv2 implementation based on the recent drafts, which will change along with draft changes. 2. It includes two agents: base agent which will compile and run on all kinds of UNIXes, but without MIB-II and agent which will compile and run on SVR4/386 UNIX. Latter one has driver/kernel based (Karl are you reading ?) implementation of MIB-II for streams based TCP/IP. 3. Long time ago the thing was started from CMU-SNMP code, so it still shares common philosophy and some familiar names. At the same time basic SNMP library has error detection/reporting added to fully support new errors required by SNMPv2. Agent to MIB interface is also improved - MIBs can be hooked on the agent as binary modules. 4. The general design philosophy is to have a predictable minimal load on the underlying managed system from SNMP agent (e.g. agent does not use malloc's) while providing commercial level of capabilities: binary extensibility, fully implemented SETs and error-code support. 5. Admin/security portion of the code is separated from the rest of the code. So, if any new admin models will surface no changes in MIB or agent code will be required, unless some creative statistics will be stacked in. 6. Code is extremely portable. Practically 99% of system dependent code is contained within driver itself. I do not think that it will take more than a couple of days to port it to something else. 7. Simple community based admin model codes are provided. An absolutely trivial one with base agent and a little bit more sophisticated with svr4x86 one. 8. Code is lightly tested in the respect that it will perform gets and get-nexts on all variables in MIB-II, supported by underlying system. It will also perform SETs on all read-write variables in MIB-II and in ipForwardTable, except tcpConnState. What was not tested yet is that phase1 one of SET will reject absolutely all thinkable wrong routes without allowing for commit phase to take place: there is practically unlimited number of wrong routes. So, we tested against some most evident wrong ones but this is not finished yet. ralex@world.std.com pwilson@world.std.com l. ISODE -- see section 39 in Part 1 of this FAQ ------------------------------------------------- m. SNMP++ -- An SNMP API Class Library: --------------------------------------- SNMP++ Revision 2.5 =================================================================== I am pleased to announce the completion of the new SNMP++ specification. Over the last year SNMP++ has gone from a version 1 specification, which was presented at a Birds-of-a-Feather at Networld-Interop '95, to the currently available 2.5 revision. The new specification is freely available on the following FTP server. Where to Find the New Specification and Header Files: ------------------------------------------------------------------ FTP Server Name: rosegarden.external.hp.com (192.151.46.12) Login: anonymous Files /pub/snmp++/doc snmp_pp.doc (MS-Word 6-7 Format) snmp_pp.ps (Postscript version) /pub/snmp++/include *.h (C++ class definitions) Intent: ------------------------------------------------------------------- The intent of the publication of this specification is to make SNMP++ an open specification as a C++ based SNMP API and as a C++ extension to WinSNMP. All developers are encouraged to review the specification and all comments and suggestions are welcome. What is SNMP++: ------------------------------------------------------------------- SNMP++ is a set of C++ classes which provide SNMP services to a network management application developer. SNMP++ is not an additional layer or wrapper over existing SNMP engines. SNMP++ utilizes existing SNMP libraries in a few minimized areas and in doing so is efficient and portable. SNMP++ is not meant to replace other existing SNMP APIs such as WinSNMP, rather it offers power and flexibility would otherwise be difficult to manage and implement. SNMP++ brings the Object Advantage to network management development. Evolution and Development of SNMP++: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last year, SNMP++ has been designed and created by a variety of professionals in the network management industry including major involvement from Hewlett Packard Company OpenView Division and Hewlett Packard Company Roseville Networks Division. In addition to involvement from the HP Company, a variety of experts within the WinSNMP community have have made significant contributions to formulating the the current SNMP++ API. SNMP++ has been successfully utilized in over ten network management products for MS-Windows, HP-UX and Sun / Solaris. When Will Working Binaries be Available For Usage? ------------------------------------------------------------------- The new specification and C++ class definitions are currently available on the above described anonymous FTP server. Soon to come will be MS-Windows 32 bit binaries and working demonstration code. Binaries released will be in an un-supported 'as is' form. The intent of the binary release will be to allow usage and testing and thereby increase implementation experience using SNMP++. ~From: Peter E Mellquist mailto:mellqust@hprnd.rose.hp.com @2. ~Subject: Where can I get Proprietary SNMP software? ------------------------------------------------------ a.

It is available for downloading from the following URL: http://www.abit.co.jp/varidocs/mgmibc-0.zip (distribution file, 513K) http://www.abit.co.jp/varidocs/mgmibc-0.txt (readme file) The aim of this release is to provide a MIB Compiler for the MG-WinSNMP SDK and to illustrate it's usage. The release of the MGMIBC MIB Compiler supplements and not replaces the contents of the MG-WinSNMP SDK V1.0b7 distributed in the mgt10b7.zip file and before using the MIB Compiler you need to install the MG-WinSNMP SDK V1.0b7 (available from http://www.abit.co.jp/varidocs/mgt10b7.zip), since it contains necessary libraries for running the MGMIBC MIB Compiler. The pre-alpha version of MIB Explorer (a MIB Browser and MIB Manager with the user interface similar to the Microsoft Windows 95 Explorer) is included into this release of MIB Compiler as a sample application that uses the smidb database files through the WinMIB.DLL library. @3. ~Subject: Where can I get SNMP Shareware? ----------------------------------------------------- Joerg Christ wrote: >Hi, > >i'm searching manager programms and tools like snmpget, snmgetnext ... > for Windows NT 4.0 or 3.51.

From a long post by Jean Renard Ward on traffic counts: -------------------- begin excerpts: This is a note I am posting and EMailing to many of the people who contacted us from the USENET Newsgroups, ListServers, and other forums about how to get the network traffic counters on Windows95 and WindowsNT. -- snip -- // "Coding for Win95 - The SNMP MIB" // http://www.dbn.lia.net/users/chris/snmp.html // or // http://196.27.35.6/users/chris/snmp.html -- snip -- // There is more information on SNMP at: // http://www.inforamp.net/~kjvallil/snmp.html ------------------- end excerpts for more info: mailto:jrward@world.std.com @III. MIBS ---------- @1. ~Subject: What is a MIB? ----------------- A collection of objects which describe an SNMP managable entity. An Important Note: There IS ONLY ONE SNMP MIB. All these other "MIBs" which are cited herein are extensions to *the* SNMP MIB. Popular usage and strict definition do not agree on this point, so be careful in how and when you talk about the plural of MIB. @2. ~Subject: What are MIB-I and MIB-II ----------------------------- MIB-I was the first SNMP MIB accepted as standard. MIB-II added some much-needed objects, and has become the standard SNMP MIB. Note that SNMPv2 expands upon MIB-II with new groups and objects, and is therefore not MIB-II but includes MIB-II. Dave Jagoda writes to provide ... " ... some useful RFC's that I think might be of general interest (particularly since I think many people don't realize these exist and might try to invent something like these on their own). They all have in common the fact that they are assigned under the mib-2 portion of the tree." RFC1158, RFC1213, RFC1215: mib-2 ( 1 - 11 ) mib-2 ------------------------------------------- In the case of MIB-2 (12), brock@cs.unca.edu writes: In RFC 1229, Extension to the Generica-Interface MIB, the objects in ifExtensions, experimental (6), are defined. In RFC 1239, some experimental MIBs are reassigned to standard MIBs. At that time, the Generic IF objects are reassigned to mib-2 (12). However, RFC 1573 officially "obsoletes" RFC 1229, by defining a new class objects, in mib(30) and mib(31) that replace the the ones of RFC 1229.

[MIB segments?] ---------------------------------- An enterprise MIB is a MIB created by an enterprise [company, etc] to define a set of objects that are related to some product[s] from this enterprise, and that the enterprise agrees to make public so that network managers can use the MIB to manage some products from this enterprise. Here are some enterprises that have their own enterprise MIB : Proteon, IBM, CMU, ACC... - Paul Rolland [Note: There are now hundreds of enterprise MIB numbers assigned.] @4. ~Subject: Where can I get enterprise MIBs?

The object or objects used to represent a particular resource must be the same at each node. [...] 2. A common scheme for representation must be used to support interoperability." - William Stallings, op. cit. below In both Internet and OSI network management these two objectives are met by a common structure of managment information (SMI) which is defined in RFC 1155. The SMI is the specification for the tree of MIB objects which which provides a means of associating a common numerical identification code for a given object. The top of the SMI tree is the familiar mapping: iso = 1 org = 3 dod = 6 internet = 1 mgmt = 2 mib-2 = 1 which is the global root prefix of every SNMP MIB object. For more details, read: I4B. SNMP, SNMPv2 and CMIP: The Practical Guide to Network Management Standards by: William Stallings @7. ~Subject: What is ASN.1? ------------------- ASN.1 : This is an Abstract Syntax Notation One. ASN.1 is an language used to define the formats of the PDUs that are exchanged by SNMP entities, and also used to defined the objects that are managed thru SNMP. This is a formal language, with a grammar that has been defined in : Information Processing Open System Interconnection Specification of Abstract Syntax Notation ONE (ASN.1). International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Committee, 1987. International Standard 8824. In ASN.1, you can define Modules, which are collections of ASN.1 descriptions, each description referring to an object. Possible objects are types, values and macros. Types can be both simple or constructed, constructed types being based on one or more simple types. Simple types are : Integer, Octet String, Object Identifier, NULL. - Paul Rolland ASN.1 is well defined and explained in three of the books mentioned in this FAQ: From Philipp Hoschka: "I've assembled a number of ASN.1-related internet resources and included them in my homepage." ftp://zenon.inria.fr/rodeo/hoschka/asn1.html "Additions are welcome, but only in the form of working html references, please."
