TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide Introduction

2 Introduction

2.1 General description

SNMP NBI is a northbound interface that allows external clients to access
TNMS using the SNMP protocol. In SNMP terminology, the SNMP NBI is an
SNMP agent, and the external clients, such as umbrella systems or fault
monitoring systems, are the SNMP managers.

Figure 1 SNMP NBI component in a TNMS system

The SNMP NBI provides the following functionality to the SNMP managers:
 Network discovery and synchronization
- Lists of NEs, Modules, Ports, Termination Points (TPs) and Port
Connections (PCs)
- Notifications for network object creation (OC) and deletion
(OD), attribute value changes (AVC) and state changes (SC).
 Fault management

Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015 © Coriant 9/90

Introduction TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide

- Lists of alarms, with filtering by type of affected object

- Alarm raise/clear notifications.
 Connection management
- Lists of Cross-Connections (CCs), Sub-Network Connections
(SNCs) and Ethernet Paths.
- Notifications for object creation (OC) and deletion (OD),
attribute value changes (AVC) and state changes (SC).

The SNMP NBI MIB is based on the TNMS Core SNMP Proxy MIB, meaning
that their exported data models, as well as notification behaviors, are mostly
similar. However, some tables and fields are not yet supported. See section
2.4 for the main differences.

SNMP NBI also provides preliminary MEF MIB support for the retrieval of
Ethernet Paths (MEF 40).

2.2 SNMP protocol support

The SNMP NBI provides the following protocol capabilities:
 SNMP v2c and v3
 UDP transport protocol
 GET / GETNEXT / GETBULK / SET requests
 TRAP and INFORM notifications
 IPv4 and IPv6
 SNMPv3 authentication protocols: MD5, SHA
 SNMPv3 privacy protocols: DES, 3DES, AES128

2.3 Terminology
The term “SNMP manager” is used to refer any external system or application
that accesses TNMS via the SNMP protocol.
The term “SNMP agent” refers to the SNMP NBI component itself.
The term “EMS” refers to the TNMS system itself.
The term “trap” is commonly used to refer an SNMP notification, regardless of
it being sent as an SNMP TRAP or an SNMP INFORM.

2.4 Differences to TNMS Core SNMP Proxy

Although SNMP NBI’s MIB is structurally similar to that of TNMS Core SNMP
Proxy, some differences do exist.

2.4.1 General changes

 MIB name is “TNMS-NBI-MIB” instead of “TNMS-MIB”;

 The Private Enterprise Number (PEN) is ‘coriant’ (42229) instead of
‘sni’ (231);
 Enumeration data types were revised and adapted to the TNMS
information model;
 Human-readable timestamps have now the fixed format yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss.
 New MIB objects associated to new features, such as heartbeat
support.
 New MIB objects for Ethernet Path support.

2.4.2 Tables and fields

The MIB tables, table fields and table traps below are present in the SNMP
NBI MIB file, but will only be supported in the future.

2.4.3 Notification behaviors

Notification behaviors for Object Deletion events (OD) have been made
consistent among all network object types. Avoiding redundant OD traps helps
minimizing network and processing spikes in case of network changes.

TNMS Core SNMP Proxy TNMS SNMP NBI

When a NE is removed, an OD trap is When a NE, module or port is removed,

sent for that NE only – no OD traps are an OD trap is sent for that object only –
sent for the child objects. no OD traps are sent for its children. The
manager may implicitly assume that the
When a module or port is removed, OD
child objects have been removed also.
traps for its children are also sent.
Note: OD notifications for child objects
are still sent if the removed parent object
belongs to a UNO network element.

Table 3 OD notification behavior changes

TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide Introduction

2.4.4 Protocol support changes

As for the SNMP protocol support, the differences to TNMS Core’s SNMP
Proxy are:
 The listening port is now configurable, to allow SNMP NBI to coexist
with other SNMP services on the server.
 SNMP v1 is no longer supported, only v2c and v3.
 Timeout and maximum tries of INFORM notifications are configurable.

2.5 Installation and licensing

SNMP NBI is an optional TNMS component. It can only be installed during
TNMS installation, by selecting “SNMP" in the “Install North Bound Interface”
wizard page. It is not possible to install SNMP NBI later without reinstalling
TNMS.
SNMP NBI also requires a license to run. The license can be installed at any
time, but will only become effective after TNMS is restarted. To install it, go to
the License Manager in the TNMS Client.

2.6 MIB file location

The SNMP NBI MIB file can be found under the following location:

<TNMS Home>\Docs\SNMP-NBI\TNMS-NBI-MIB.my

The file is only available if the SNMP NBI component is installed.

SNMP Agent Configuration TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide

3 SNMP Agent Configuration

3.1 System settings

To configure the basic SNMP NBI system settings, proceed as follows.

1. Open TNMS Client and go to Administration > System Preferences >

SNMP NBI > System).

Figure 2 SNMP NBI system preferences

2. Check Enable SNMP northbound interface to enable the SNMP NBI. If

disabled, all SNMP communication is blocked, that is, no SNMP requests
are accepted and no SNMP traps are sent.
If the checkbox is greyed out, it means that an SNMP NBI license has
been installed, but the server has not been restarted yet. You must restart
the server to enable SNMP NBI.
3. In Listening port specify an unused UDP port where SNMP requests are
to be received. The default is 50161.
Recommended: either 161, or a number between 49152 and 65535, which
is the private port range defined by IANA. Just make sure the chosen port
is not used by any other service or application on the server.

14/90 © Coriant Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015

TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide SNMP Agent Configuration

4. In Proxy name and Network name, enter informative names for this
SNMP NBI instance and for the network.
5. In Trap history length, specify the number of records to be kept in the
trap history table. The default is 256. Allowed values are between 2 and
10000. (See also 4.4 - Resynchronization after network or manager
errors.)
6. The MIB version is read-only and shows the version of the SNMP NBI
MIB. It matches the LAST-UPDATE clause in the MIB definition file, and
therefore can be used to check if an SNMP manager is using the correct
file.
7. Check Enable heartbeat traps if heartbeat traps are to be sent to the
listening SNMP managers.
 In Interval, specify the number of seconds between heartbeats.
Default is 60 seconds. Allowed values are between 5 and 86400
seconds (equivalent to 24 hours).
8. In the Inform group, configure how SNMP INFORM notifications are
managed:
 In Timeout, specify the maximum number of seconds that SNMP
NBI will wait for a response before resending an Inform. Default is
3 seconds. Allowed values are between 1 and 60 seconds.
 In Maximum tries, specify the maximum number of times that
SNMP NBI will try to send an Inform notification to each
destination. Default is 3 tries. Allowed values are between 1 and 5
tries.

The Proxy name, Network name, Trap history length and MIB version
values above are readable via SNMP under the enmsControl MIB branch (see
section 8.1).
The Heartbeat and Inform configuration parameters are also modifiable via
SNMP under the enmsControl MIB branch (see section 8.1).

3.2 MIB-II variables

Being an SNMP agent, the SNMP NBI also implements the MIB-II System
Group variables, which describe the entity on which the agent is running:
sysName, sysDescr, sysObjectID, sysLocation and sysContact. To manage
the values of those variables, proceed as follows.
1. Open TNMS Client and go to Administration > System Preferences >
SNMP NBI > MIB-II.

Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015 © Coriant 15/90

SNMP Agent Configuration TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide

Figure 3 SNMP NBI MIB-II variables

2. The Name (sysName), Description (sysDescr) and Object ID

(sysObjectID) variables are set automatically by the SNMP NBI:
 Name – Host name of the server.
 Description – Description of the server’s operating system.
 Object Id – OID of the svsProxEnms MIB node.
3. In Location (sysLocation), provide an arbitrary description for the location
of this SNMP agent.
4. In Contact (sysContact), provide an arbitrary value for contact information,
such as the administrator’s email or telephone.
Setting the MIB-II variables via SNMP will not reflect on the preferences GUI.
Additionally, those variables will be reset next time TNMS is started.

3.3 SNMP user configuration

To configure which SNMP users are allowed to access the SNMP NBI MIB, or
to which SNMP notifications are to be sent, open TNMS Client and go to
Administration > SNMP NBI User Management.

1. Select the level of permission granted to the user for accessing the SNMP
NBI MIB:
 No permission – The user has no access permission.
 Read – The user has read-only access.
 Read/Write – The user has read and write access.
2. Specify the IP addresses from which requests from this user are accepted.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are allowed. Examples:
 10.55.140.25
 4f::58a3:45fe:38
Address format restrictions:
- Host names are not supported, only IP addresses.

18/90 © Coriant Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015

TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide SNMP Agent Configuration

- IP masks are not supported; individual IP addresses must be

specified.

3.3.3 User trap destinations

In the Traps tab (Figure 7) you configure the SNMP TRAP destinations for the
SNMP user.

Figure 7 SNMP user trap destinations

To enable the SNMP user to receive traps, proceed as follows:

1. Check Allow traps.
2. In Destination IP addresses, enter the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses of the
SNMP managers that will receive the trap notification. You must always
specify the port, even if it is the well-known port 162. Examples:
 10.55.140.25:162
 [4f:0:0:0:0:58a3:45fe:38]:50162
Address format restrictions:
- Collapsing of groups of zeroes in IPv6 trap destination addresses is
not supported.
- Host names are not supported, only IP addresses.

3.5 Heartbeat notifications

SNMP NBI is able to send heartbeat notifications so that the SNMP managers
can detect network connectivity and agent availability issues. These
notifications are sent to all Trap and Inform destinations configured in the
SNMP NBI users.
Heartbeat notifications may be enabled and configured in the SNMP NBI
System Preferences (see 3.1) or via SNMP (see 8.1).
Heartbeat notifications are always sent as SNMP TRAP, even for Inform
destinations.
Heartbeat notifications do not carry a trap counter nor are stored in the
notification history table.

4.1 Exported object model

The UML-like diagram in Figure 10 shows the main objects exported by the
SNMP NBI MIB, and how they relate to each other. The MIB by itself is not
object-oriented; objects therefore correspond to table entries, and their
relations are represented using primary keys (table indexes) and foreign keys
(fields pointing to the indexes of related objects).

SNMP NBI MIB – General description TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide

In relation to fault management, all active alarms in the system are exported
via the table enmsAlarmTable. Other tables act as views of that master table,
showing only the alarms affecting a specific type of object (Figure 11).

4.3 Notification model

The SNMP NBI provides notifications about changes and events affecting the
objects modelled by the SNMP NBI MIB. These notifications are based on the
ITU recommendation X.721 and are realized as SNMP Traps.
The supported types of notifications are listed in the table below.

Notification Type Abbrev. Meaning

ObjectCreation OC Creation of an object (e.g. new NE in the enmsNETable).

ObjectDeletion OD Deletion of an object (e.g. NE removed from

enmsNETable).

StateChange SC Change of object state (e.g. operational state).

AttributeChange AC Change of a non-state object attribute (e.g. name).

4.4 Resynchronization after network or manager

errors
In case of network errors or disturbances, traps sent by the SNMP NBI may
not reach the SNMP manager, causing it to become out-of-sync with TNMS.

26/90 © Coriant Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015

TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide SNMP NBI MIB – General description

An out-of-sync situation may also occur if the SNMP manager does receive
the traps, but for some reason is unable to process them.
To help the SNMP manager to detect out-of-sync situations, all traps sent by
the SNMP NBI include a trap counter, which is incremented by one for each
trap. By checking this trap counter, it is possible detect if one or more traps
are missing.
In case an out-of-sync is detected, instead of resynchronizing all tables –
which can be a heavy and lengthy process – the SNMP manager may try first
to identify the objects associated to the missed traps by looking up the trap
history table (enmsTrapHistoryTable, section 8.4). This table contains
information about the last traps sent by the SNMP NBI, and its maximum
length is configurable either via the GUI (see 3.1) or via SNMP by setting the
enmsTrapHistoryTableLength MIB variable (see 8.1).
The trap history table does not carry the full trap details; its purpose is to allow
the SNMP manager to resynchronize only the specific objects associated to
the missed notifications.

4.5 Recommended table retrieval approaches

This section recommends approaches to efficiently access the SNMP NBI
tables using the GET / GETNEXT / GETBULK operations. The NE table
(enmsNETable) and module table (enmsModuleTable) are used in the
examples, but the suggested approaches are to be generalized to the
remaining tables.

4.5.1 Retrieving all rows of a table

In general it is best to read the tables row by row, as opposed to doing it

column by column.
As an example, let’s suppose that the NE table (enmsNETable) contains the
following data:

enmsNeId enmsNeType enmsNeName … enmsNeSystemContainer

(index)

2 ABC NE2 … SYS-1

5 XYZ NE5 … SYS-1

9 EFG NE9 … SYS-2

15 TYU NE15 … SYS-2

Table 7 Example data for enmsNETable

Issue: 5 Issue date: September 2015 © Coriant 27/90

SNMP NBI MIB – General description TNMS V15.10 – SNMP NBI Operation Guide

The suggested approach to retrieve all rows in the table consists of performing
successive GETNEXT operations, and in each operation request all fields of
the same row. In this case the SNMP manager starts by requesting the first
row of values:

GETNEXT(enmsNeId, enmsNeType, …, enmsNeSystemContainer)

GETRESPONSE(enmsNeId.2 = 2, enmsNeType.2 = “ABC”, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.2 = “SYS-1”)

Then it successively performs GETNEXT operations using the OIDs on the

last response, until they don’t match the columns of the requested OIDs and
even fall out to the next table (in this case, enmsModuleTable):

GETNEXT(enmsNeId.2, enmsNeType.2, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.2)

GETRESPONSE(enmsNeId.5 = 2, enmsNeType.5 = “XYZ”, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.5 = “SYS-1”)

GETNEXT(enmsNeId.5, enmsNeType.5, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.5)

GETRESPONSE(enmsNeId.9 = 2, enmsNeType.9 = “EFG”, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.9 = “SYS-2”)

GETNEXT(enmsNeId.9, enmsNeType.9, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.9)

GETRESPONSE(enmsNeId.15 = 2, enmsNeType.15 = “TYU”, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.15 = “SYS-2”)

GETNEXT(enmsNeId.15, enmsNeType.15, …, enmsNeSystemContainer.15)

GETRESPONSE(enmsNeType.2 = “ABC”, enmsNeName.2 = “NE2”, …, enmsMoNeId.2 = 2)

The GETNEXT operations above are requesting the index field (enmsNeId)
just for the sake of clarity. In a real implementation, the SNMP manager may
infer the index values from the OIDs of other fields in the same row.

An alternative approach to get all rows of a table consists of iterating through

the index columns using successive GETBULK operations (to retrieve multiple
row indexes at a time), and for each response retrieve the values of the
remaining columns using direct GET operations.

4.5.2 Retrieving specific rows by index

To retrieve a row by index, use the GET operation and request several column
values at once:

GET(enmsNeType.9, …, enmsNeIdName.9)
GETRESPONSE(enmsNeType.9 = “ABC”, …, enmsNeIdName.9 = “NE9”)

4.5.3 Retrieving blocks of rows for a sub-index

Suppose the SNMP manager needs to retrieve all modules of a given NE, let’s
say the NE 9.

9 5 CARDY … 321

9 6 CARDZ 545

15 3 CARDX … 1234
Table 8 Example data for enmsModuleTable

It begins by requesting the first row for the NE 9, by performing a GETNEXT

operation in which the supplied OIDs stop at the enmsMoNEId part of the
index, in this case the value 9 (the enmsMoModuleId part is therefore
omitted):

GETNEXT(enmsMoNeId.9, enmsMoModuleId.9, enmsMoType.9, …, enmsMoSlot.9)

GETRESPONSE(enmsMoNeId.9.4 = 9, enmsMoModuleId.9.4 = 4, enmsMoType.9.4 = “CARDX”, …,
enmsMoSlot.9.4 = 6)

Then it successively performs GETNEXT operations using the OIDs on the

last response, until they belong to a different NE or fall outside of the table:

GETNEXT(enmsMoNeId.9.4, enmsMoModuleId.9.4, enmsMoType.9.4, …, enmsMoSlot.9.4)

GETRESPONSE(enmsMoNeId.9.5 = 9, enmsMoModuleId.9.5 = 5, enmsMoType.9.5 = “CARDY”, …,
enmsMoSlot.9.5 = 4)

GETNEXT(enmsMoNeId.9.5, enmsMoModuleId.9.5, enmsMoType.9.5, …, enmsMoSlot.9.5)

GETRESPONSE(enmsMoNeId.9.6 = 9, enmsMoModuleId.9.6 = 6, enmsMoType.9.6 = “CARDZ”, …,
enmsMoSlot.9.6 = 12)

GETNEXT(enmsMoNeId.9.6, enmsMoModuleId.9.6, enmsMoType.9.6, …, enmsMoSlot.9.6)

GETRESPONSE(enmsMoNeId.15.3 = 15, enmsMoModuleId.15.3 = 3, enmsMoType.15.3 = “CARDX”, …,
enmsMoSlot.15.3 = 9)

The GETNEXT operations above are requesting the index fields

(enmsMoNeId and enmsMoModuleId) just for the sake of clarity. In a real
implementation, the SNMP manager may alternatively infer the index values
from the OIDs of other fields in the same row.

4.5.4 Response limited size

Each SNMP response must fit in a single UDP packet, whose maximum size
may be insufficient to carry all requested values (the response will have an
error status set to “Too big.”). To avoid such situations you may need to split
the GETNEXT / GETBULK / GET requests into two or more operations.

4.5.5 Request timeouts

SNMP request response time depends on factors such as server load,

network load, table being accessed and volume of data in the table. In case
timeout errors are received, you may need to increase the timeout value on
the SNMP manager.
To confirm that a timeout error is not caused by a more generic problem (e.g.
no network connectivity, SNMP NBI misconfiguration), first perform a GET
operation on a MIB leaf attribute such as enmsProxyName (see 8.1), for which
a response should be returned in a fairly short time.

4.6 Data types

The following table lists the data types used in the SNMP NBI tables and

“Future” means that the object is not yet supported.
“Obsolete” means that the object is no longer supported and may be removed
from the MIB in the future.

4.8 Strings and multi-language support

String values in the SNMP NBI MIB are of type 'DisplayString', which is meant
to contain only ASCII characters. However, strings in TNMS are not limited to
ASCII characters, and may contain, for example, accented letters. Instead of
converting all non-ASCII characters to a generic ASCII character, causing
information loss, SNMP NBI encodes the strings as UTF-8.

7.1 Fault Management Tables

7.1.1 Global alarm list (enmsAlarmTable)

This table contains all active alarms in TNMS. Its single index value
(enmsAlAlarmNumber) is not an identifier of the alarm: it corresponds to the
position of the alarm in the list and therefore may change between table
retrievals. Because of that, this table is not meant to be accessed randomly,
via GET operations. Instead, it should be retrieved row by row from top to
bottom, using GETNEXT / GETBULK operations.
The following combination of fields may be used to identify an alarm and relate
it to other tables and traps:
enmsAlProbableCause +
enmsAlTimeStamp +
enmsAlEntityString +
enmsAlNEId +
enmsAlPortId +
enmsAlTPIdH +
enmsAlTPIdL

System alarms (i.e. raised by the EMS itself) can be distinguished by having
the NE Id (enmsAlNEId) set to zero.

Attribute name Data type Description

enmsAlAlarmNumber Integer32 Table index. Does not identify the

alarm and may change each time
the table is retrieved.

enmsAlSeverity PerceivedSeverity Severity of the alarm.

management of User Network Interfaces (UNIs) and Ethernet Virtual
Connections (EVCs). Currently only basic Ethernet Path retrieval is supported.
Specification of notifications in MEF 40 is not final and as such not
implemented by SNMP NBI. To monitor changes to Ethernet Paths, use the
SNMP NBI MIB notifications instead (see section 6.2).
For more information on the MEF MIB, please refer to the MEF 40 Technical
Specification available on the MEF web site (www.mef.net).

9.1.1 mefServiceEvcCfgTable

The ‘mefServiceEvcCfgTable’ table lists all the Ethernet Paths. This table
implementation is read-only, therefore adding rows is not supported.
