Security Considerations.................................. 81 + 8. Authors' Addresses....................................... 81 + +1. The SNMP Network Management Framework + + The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of three + major components. They are: + + o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [6] - the mechanisms used + for describing and naming objects for the purpose of + management. + + o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [5] - the core set of + managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. + + o the protocol, STD 15, RFC 1157 [10] and/or RFC 1905 + [9] - the protocol used for accessing managed information. + + Textual conventions are defined in RFC 1903 [7], and conformance + statements are defined in RFC 1904 [8]. + + The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of + experimentation and evaluation. + +1.1. Object Definitions + + Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed + the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are + defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation one (ASN.1) + defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an + OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object + type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a + specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we + often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the + object type. + +2. Overview + +2.1. Relationship to RFC 1516 + + This MIB is intended as a superset of that defined by RFC 1516 [11], + which will go to historic status. This MIB includes all of the + objects contained in that MIB, plus several new ones which provide + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + + for significant additional capabilities. Implementors are encouraged + to support all applicable conformance groups in order to make the + best use of the new functionality provided by this MIB. The new + objects provide support for: + + o multiple repeaters + + o 100BASE-T management + + o port TopN capability + + o address search and topology mapping + + Certain objects have been deprecated; in particular, those scalar + objects used for managing a single repeater are now of minimal use + since they are duplicated in the new multiple- repeater definitions. + Additional objects have been deprecated based on implementation + experience with RFC 1516. + +2.2. Repeater Management + + Instances of the object types defined in this memo represent + attributes of an IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet-like) repeater, as defined by + Section 9, "Repeater Unit for 10 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE + 802.3/ISO 8802-3 CSMA/CD standard [1], and Section 27, "Repeater for + 100 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE Standard 802.3u-1995 [2]. + + These Repeater MIB objects may be used to manage non-standard + repeater-like devices, but defining objects to describe + implementation-specific properties of non-standard repeater- like + devices is outside the scope of this memo. + + + The definitions presented here are based on Section 30.4, "Layer + Management for 10 and 100 Mb/s Baseband Repeaters" and Annex 30A, + "GDMO Specificataions for 802.3 managed objects" of [3]. + + Implementors of these MIB objects should note that [3] explicitly + describes when, where, and how various repeater attributes are + measured. The IEEE document also describes the effects of repeater + actions that may be invoked by manipulating instances of the MIB + objects defined here. + + The counters in this document are defined to be the same as those + counters in [3], with the intention that the same instrumentation can + be used to implement both the IEEE and IETF management standards. + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + +2.3. Structure of the MIB + + Objects in this MIB are arranged into packages, each of which + contains a set of related objects within a broad functional category. + Objects within a package are generally defined under the same OID + subtree. These packages are intended for organizational convenience + ONLY, and have no relation to the conformance groups defined later in + the document. + +2.3.1. Basic Definitions + + The basic definitions include objects which are applicable to all + repeaters: status, parameter and control objects for each repeater + within the managed system, for the port groups within the system, and + for the individual ports themselves. + +2.3.2. Monitor Definitions + + The monitor definitions include monitoring statistics for each + repeater within the system and for individual ports. + +2.3.3. Address Tracking Definitions + + This collection includes objects for tracking the MAC addresses of + the DTEs attached to the ports within the system and for mapping the + topology of a network. + + Note: These definitions are based on a technology which has been + patented by Hewlett-Packard Company. HP has granted rights to this + technology to implementors of this MIB. See [12] and [13] for + details. + +2.3.4. Top N Definitions + + These objects may be used for tracking the ports with the most + activity within the system or within particular repeaters. + +2.4. Relationship to Other MIBs + +2.4.1. Relationship to MIB-II + + It is assumed that a repeater implementing this MIB will also + implement (at least) the 'system' group defined in MIB-II [5]. + + + + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + +2.4.1.1. Relationship to the 'system' group + + In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory for all + systems such that each managed entity contains one instance of each + object in the 'system' group. Thus, those objects apply to the + entity even if the entity's sole functionality is management of + repeaters. + +2.4.1.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group + + In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for + all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where + each interface is thought of as being attached to a 'subnetwork'. + (Note that this term is not to be confused with 'subnet' which refers + to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of + protocols.) + + This Repeater MIB uses the notion of ports on a repeater. The + concept of a MIB-II interface has NO specific relationship to a + repeater's port. Therefore, the 'interfaces' group applies only to + the one (or more) network interfaces on which the entity managing the + repeater sends and receives management protocol operations, and does + not apply to the repeater's ports. + + This is consistent with the physical-layer nature of a repeater. A + repeater is a bitwise store-and-forward device. It recognizes + activity and bits, but does not process incoming data based on any + packet-related information (such as checksum or addresses). A + repeater has no MAC address, no MAC implementation, and does not pass + packets up to higher-level protocol entities for processing. + + (When a network management entity is observing a repeater, it may + appear as though the repeater is passing packets to a higher-level + protocol entity. However, this is only a means of implementing + management, and this passing of management information is not part of + the repeater functionality.) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al.

Standards Track [Page 74] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + +4. Topology Mapping + + The network mapping algorithm presented below takes information + available from network devices such as repeaters, bridges, and + switches, and creates a representation of the physical topology of + the network. + + Networking devices connect to the network via one or more ports. + Through these ports, the device is capable of hearing network packets + sent by other devices. By looking the source address in the packet, + and identifying which port the packet was heard on, the device can + provide information to a Network Management System about the location + of an address in the network, relative to that device. For devices + such as bridges and switches, the association of address to port can + be retrieved via the forwarding data base part of the Bridge MIB. + For repeaters, the rptrAddrSearchTable may be used to perform the + association. + + Given this information, it would be possible for the NMS to create a + topology of the network which represents the physical relationships + of the devices in the networks. The following is an example of how + this might be done: + + Assume the network: + + ============================= + | | | + | | | + d1 d4 d7 + / \ | + / \ | + d2 d3 d5 + | + | + d6 + + The discovery process would first determine the existence of the + network devices and nodes in the network. In the above example, the + network devices discovered would be: + + d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7 + + From this list of discovered devices, select (arbitrarily or via some + heuristic) a device as the starting point. From that device, + determine where all other devices are located in the network with + respect to the selected device. + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 75] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + + For example, if d1 is the selected device, the network in relation to + d1 would look like: + + d1 + / | \ + / | \ + d2 d3 d4,d5,d6,d7 + + So d1 sees d2 on one port, d3 on another port, and d4, d5, and d6 on + the third port. In other words, using the rptrAddrSearchTable (if d1 + is a repeater) or the Forwarding Database (if it is a bridge or a + switch), d1 has located d2 on one port, d1 has located d3 on another + port, and finally, d1 has located d4, d5, d6, and d7 on yet another + port. + + After the first step of the algorithm is accomplished, the next and + final step is a recursive one. Go to each of these temporary + 'segments' (e.g., the segment connecting d1 and d2, or the segment + connecting d1 and d3, or the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6, and + d7) and determine which of these devices really belongs in that + segment. + + As new segments are created due to this process, the recursive + algorithm visits them, and performs the exact same process. + + In the example, the segments connecting d1 and d2, and connecting d1 + and d3, require no further scrutiny, since there are only two nodes + in those segments. However, the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6, + and d7 may prove to be one or more segments, so we will investigate + it. + + The purpose of this step is to determine which devices are really + connected to this segment, and which are actually connected + downstream. This is done by giving each of the child devices in the + segment (d4, d5, d6, and d7) a chance to eliminate each of the others + from the segment. + + A device eliminates another device by showing that it hears the + parent device (in this case, d1) on one port, and the other device on + another port (different from the port on which it heard the parent). + If this is true, then it must mean that that device is _between_ the + parent device and the device which is being eliminated. + + + + + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 76] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + + In the example, we can see that device d4 can eliminate both d5 and + d6, , but nobody can eliminate d4 and d7, because everybody hears + them on the same port that they hear the parent device (d1). So the + resulting topology looks like: + + d1 + / | \ + / | \ + d2 d3 d4,d7 + | + | + d5,d6 + + Next the algorithm visits the next segment, which is the one + connecting d4, d5, and d6. Using the process stated above, d5 can + eliminate d6, since it hears d4 on a different port from where it + hears d6. Finally, the topology looks like: + + d1 + / | \ + / | \ + d2 d3 d4,d7 + | + | + d5 + | + | + d6 + + + This is actually the topology shown at the beginning of the + description. + + With this information about how the network devices are connected, it + is a relatively simple extension to then place nodes such as + workstations and PCs in the network. This can be done by placing the + node into a segment, then allowing the network devices to show that + the node is really not part of that segment. + + This elimination can be done because the devices know what port + connects them to the segment on which the node is temporarily placed. + If they actually hear the node on a different port than that which + connects the device to the segment, then the node must be downstream, + and so it is moved onto the downstream segment. Then that segment is + evaluated, and so forth. Eventually, no device can show that the + node is connected downstream, and so it must be attached to that + segment. + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 77] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + + For example, assume the network: + + ============================= + | | | + | | | + d1 d4 d7 + / \ | + / \ | + d2 d3 d5 + | | + | | + e1 d6 + + In this network, we are trying to place e1 where it belongs. We + begin by placing it arbitrarily into a segment: + + ================================== + | | | | + | | | | + e1 d1 d4 d7 + / \ | + / \ | + d2 d3 d5 + | + | + d6 + + In the above case, we would give d1, d4, and d7 a chance to show that + e1 is not really on that segment. d4 and d7 hear e1 on the same port + which connects them to that segment, so they cannot eliminate e1 from + the segment. However, d1 will hear e1 on a different port, so we + move e1 down onto the segment which is connected by that port. This + yields the following: + + ============================= + | | | + | | | + d1 d4 d7 + / \ | + / \ | + d2 d3,e1 d5 + | + | + d6 + + + + + + + +de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 78] + +RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997 + + + Now we give everyone in that segment (besides that parent device, d1) + a chance to eliminate e1. Only d3 can try, and it succeeds, so we + place e1 on segment which is connected by the port on which d3 heard + e1. There is no segment there (yet), so we create one, and end up + with the following: + + ============================= + | | | + | | | + d1 d4 d7 + / \ | + / \ | + d2 d3 d5 + | | + | | + e1 d6 + + which is the correct position. + +5.
