SNMP Management: Snmpv2

SNMPv2 was developed to enhance SNMPv1 with new features like bulk data transfer for more efficient retrieval of large amounts of data from agents. It introduced new PDU types, expanded the MIB, and allowed additional transport protocols. The system architecture was updated to allow communication between managers and support new functionality. SNMPv2 aimed to maintain compatibility with SNMPv1 through approaches like a bilingual manager or proxy server.

› SNMPv2 - System Architecture
SNMPV2
› SNMPv2 – SMI
› SNMPv2 – MIB
› SNMPv2 – Protocol Operations
› SNMPv2 – Compatibility with SNMPv1

3
Introduction
› Developed as interim management protocol
› SNMP caught in industry
– Major vendors, incorporated SNMP modules in their network
systems and components
– So, SNMP need further enhancements → SNMPv2

4
Major Changes –
SNMPv2

5
Major Changes in SNMPv2
› Bulk Data Transfer Message
– send & receive bulk data to speed get-next-request process
› Manager to Manager Message
– To increase interoperability between network management systems
› MIB Enhancement
– new 2 subgroups added, security and snmpv2 and many more
› SMIv2
– Textual Conversions: help to define new data types
– Conformance Statements: minimum set of capabilities
› Transport Mapping
– Other transport layer protocol support (previously only UDP) 6
System Architecture –
SNMPv2

7
System Architecture
› Previously five, now seven messages
› Two manager application can communicate on peer level
› Response is now generate by both manager and agent
– By agent, against get, set message
– By manger, against inform-request message for another manager
› Inform-Request, between manager application
– It makes two network management system interoperable
› Get-Bulk Request, generated by manager
– Used to transfer larger amount of data from agent to manager
› Support multiple transport layer protocols (UDP, CLNS)
8
SYSTEM
ARCHITECTURE

MIB
ENHANCEMENT
SNMPv2
Security node

10
SMIv2
› It is divided into 3 parts
› Module definitions
– Group of assignments that are related to each other
– Defined by MOUDLE-IDENTITY
› Object definitions
– Used to define managed objects
– Defined by OBJECT-TYPE
› Notification definitions
– Used to inform manager about the event on agent
– Defined by NOTIFICATION-TYPE
11
SMIv2 – Information Module
› An ASN.1 module defining information relating to network
management
› Three kinds of information modules are define
– MIB Modules
– Compliance statement for MIB modules
– Capability statement for agent implementations
› As shown in examples, mandatory groups in implementing
SNMPv2 are snmpGroup, snmpSetGroup, systemGroup, and
snmpBasicNotificationGroup.
› If vendor claims device is SNMPv2 compliant, the
aforementioned groups must be implemented
› SNMP keywords: new altered list from SNMPv1 12
SMIV2 – MODULE
DEFINITION
It provides administrative
information and revision
history regarding the
information module

13
SMIV2 - OBJECT
IDENTITY
DEFINITION

14
SMIV2 - OBJECT
IDENTITY AND
TYPE

15
NOTIFICATION
OBJECT - TYPE
Trap is redefined using
NOTIFICATION-TYPE
It contains the information
generated on an exception
basis
SNMP trap PDU from agent
Inform-Request PDU from a
manager

16
Conformance Statement
› A product is considered to be compliance with a particular
standard, when it meets a minimum set of features in its
implementation
› Object Group: define a group of related objects in MIB
module, and use to define conformance specifications
› Notification Group: It contains notification entities. It is
compiled at implementation phase, not run time phase
› Module Compliance: minimum set of requirement for the
implementation of one or more MIB modules
› Actual MIB modules that are implemented in an agent are
specified by another ASN.1 module, AGENT CAPABILITIES17
SNMP V2 - MIB

18
SNMPv2 –
Protocol Operation

19
All PDUs – except get-bulk-request
› A generic format for all data types except Get-bulk-request
› This improves the efficiency and performance of the system
› It also bring the trap data structure in to common format

20
Get-bulk-request PDU
› To retrieve bulk data from remote entity
› Non-Repeaters: maximum number of non-repetitive scalar
objects
› Max-Repetition:
– Maximum number of instance to return
– Maximum size of SNMP message
– Buffer size in implementation

21
Compatibility with
SNMPv1

22
SNMP Compatible - Bilingual Manager
› Bilingual Manager
– to implement both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 module in the manager with
the database that has profiles of both agent version
– It will perform the conversion of MIB variables and SNMP protocol
operations in both directions
– Expensive to implement and maintain

23
SNMP Compatible - Proxy Server
› The responses to and responses from, as well as traps from,
SNMPv2 agents are processed by SNMPv2 manager with no
changes.
› Proxy server is implemented as a front end module to the
SNMPv2 manager for communication with SNMPv1 agent
