SNMP Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) offers a framework to monitor network devices through TCP/IP protocol suite. It provides a set of basic operations in monitoring and maintaining the Internet and has the following characteristics:

l          Automatic network management: SNMP enables network administrators to search and modify information, find and diagnose network problems, plan for network growth, and generate reports on network nodes.

l          SNMP shields the physical differences between various devices and thus realizes automatic management of products from different manufacturers. Offering only the basic set of functions, SNMP makes the management tasks independent of both the physical features of the managed devices and the underlying networking technology. Thus, SNMP achieves effective management of devices from different manufacturers, especially in small, high-speed and low cost network environments.

SNMP Mechanism

An SNMP enabled network comprises a Network Management Station (NMS) and an agent.

l          An NMS is a station that runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user friendly interface, making it easier for network administrators to perform most network management tasks.

l          An agent is a program on the device. It receives and handles requests sent from the NMS. Only under certain circumstances, such as interface state change, will the agent inform the NMS.

An NMS manages an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents are the managed network device. They exchange management information through the SNMP protocol.

SNMP provides the following four basic operations:

l          Get operation: The NMS gets the value of one or more objects of the agent through this operation.

l          Set operation: The NMS can reconfigure the value of one or more objects in the agent MIB (Management Information Base) by means of this operation.

l          Trap operation: The agent sends traps to the NMS through this operation.

l          Inform operation: The NMS sends traps to other NMSs through this operation.

SNMP Protocol Version

Currently, SNMP agents support SNMPv3 and are compatible with SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

l          SNMPv1 uses community name for authentication, which defines the relationship between an SNMP NMS and an SNMP agent. SNMP packets with community names that did not pass the authentication on the device will simply be discarded. A community name performs a similar role as a key word and can be used to regulate access from NMS to agent.

l          SNMPv2c uses community name for authentication. Compatible with SNMPv1, it extends the functions of SNMPv1. SNMPv2c provides more operation modes such as GetBulk and InformRequest; it supports more data types such as Counter64; and it provides various error codes, thus being able to distinguish errors in more detail.

l          SNMPv3 offers an authentication that is implemented with a User-Based Security Model (USM). You can set the authentication and privacy functions. The former is used to authenticate the validity of the sending end of the authentication packets, preventing access of illegal users; the latter is used to encrypt packets between the NMS and agent, preventing the packets from being intercepted. USM ensures a more secure communication between SNMP NMS and SNMP agent by authentication with privacy, authentication without privacy, or no authentication no privacy.

Successful interaction between NMS and agent requires consistency of SNMP versions configured on them. You can configure multiple SNMP versions for an agent to interact with different NMSs.

MIB Overview

Any managed resource can be identified as an object, which is known as the managed object. Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of all the managed objects. It defines a set of characteristics associated with the managed objects, such as the object identifier (OID), access right and data type of the objects. Each agent has its own MIB. NMS can read or write the managed objects in the MIB. The relationship between an NMS, agent and MIB is shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Relationship between NMS, agent and MIB

 

MIB stores data using a tree structure. The node of the tree is the managed object and can be uniquely identified by a path starting from the root node. As illustrated in the following figure, the managed object B can be uniquely identified by a string of numbers {1.2.1.1}. This string of numbers is the OID of the managed object B.

Figure 1-2 MIB tree

Configuring SNMP Logging

Introduction to SNMP Logging

SNMP logs the GET and SET operations that the NMS performs on the SNMP agent. When the GET operation is performed, the agent logs the IP address of the NMS, node name of the GET operation and OID of the node. When the SET operation is performed, the agent logs the IP address of the NMS, node name of the SET operation, OID of the node, the value set and the error code and error index of the SET response. These logs will be sent to the information center, and the level of them is informational, that is, they are taken as the system prompt information. With parameters for the information center set, the output rules for SNMP logs are decided (that is, whether the logs are permitted to output and the output destinations).

SNMP logs GET request, SET request and SET response, but does not log GET response.

Enabling SNMP Logging

To do

Use the command

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable SNMP logging

snmp-agent log { all | get-operation | set-operation }

Required

Disabled by default.

Configure SNMP log output rules

info-center source { module-name | default } channel { channel-number | channel-name } [ debug { level severity | state state } * | log { level severity | state state } * | trap { level severity | state state } * ] *

Optional

By default, SNMP logs are output to loghost and logfile only. To output SNMP logs to other destinations such as console or monitor terminal, you need to set the output destinations with this command.

 

l          Logs occupy storage space of the device, thus affecting the performance of the device. Therefore, it is recommended to disable SNMP logging.

l          The size of SNMP logs cannot exceed that allowed by the information center, and the total length of the node field and value field of each log record cannot exceed 1K bytes; otherwise, the exceeded part will not be output.

l          For the detailed description of system information, the information center and the info-center source command, refer to Information Center Configuration.

 

SNMP Trap Configuration

Enabling the Trap Function

The SNMP agent sends traps to the NMS to inform the NMS of critical and important events (such as reboot of a managed device). Two types of traps are available: generic traps and self-defined traps. Generic traps supported on the device include: authentication, coldstart, linkdown, linkup and warmstart. The others are self-defined traps, which are generated by different modules. As traps that occupy large device memory affect device performance, it is recommended not to enable the trap function for all the modules but for the specific modules as needed.

With the trap function enabled on a module, the traps generated by the module will be sent to the information center. The information center has seven information output destinations. By default, traps of all modules are allowed to be output to the console, monitor terminal (monitor), loghost, and logfile; traps of all modules and with level equal to or higher than warnings are allowed to be output to the trapbuffer and SNMP module (snmpagent); and traps cannot be sent to the logbuffer. You can set parameters for the information center based on the levels of the traps generated by each module, and thus decide the output rules of traps (that is, whether traps are allowed to be output and the output destinations). For the configuration of the information center, refer to Information Center Configuration in the System Volume.

Follow these steps to enable the trap function:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable the trap function globally

snmp-agent trap enable [ configuration | flash | standard [ authentication | coldstart | linkdown | linkup | warmstart ] * | system ]

Optional

By default, the trap function is enabled.

Enter interface view

interface interface-type interface-number

Enable the trap function of interface state changes

enable snmp trap updown

Optional

Enabled by default.

 

To enable an interface to send linkUp/linkDown traps when its state changes, you need to enable the trap function of interface state changes on an interface and globally. Use the enable snmp trap updown command to enable the trap function on an interface, and use the snmp-agent trap enable [ standard [ linkdown | linkup ] * ] command to enable this function globally.

 

Configuring Trap Parameters

Configuration prerequisites

To send traps to the NMS, you need to prepare the following:

l          Basic SNMP configurations have been completed. These configurations include version configuration: community name is needed when SNMPv1 and v2c are adopted; username and MIB view are needed if SNMPv3 is adopted.

l          A connection has bee established between the device and the NMS, and they can operate each other.

Configuration procedure

After traps are sent to the SNMP module, the SNMP module saves the traps in the trap queue. You can set the size of the queue and the holding time of the traps in the queue, and you can also send the traps to the specified destination host (usually the NMS).

Follow these steps to configure trap parameters:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Configure target host attribute for traps

snmp-agent target-host trap address udp-domain  ip-address [ udp-port port-number ] params securityname security-string [ v1 | v2c | v3 [ authentication | privacy ] ]

Optional

To send the traps to the NMS, this command is required, and you must specify ip-address as the IP address of the NMS.

Configure the source address for traps

snmp-agent trap source interface-type interface-number

Optional

Extend the standard linkUp/linkDown traps defined in RFC

snmp-agent trap if-mib link extended

Optional

Standard linkUp/linkDown traps defined in RFC are used by default.

Configure the size of the trap sending queue

snmp-agent trap queue-size size

Optional

100 by default

Configure the holding time of the traps in the queue

snmp-agent trap life seconds

Optional

120 seconds by default

 

l          An extended linkUp/linkDown trap is the standard linkUp/linkDown trap (defined in RFC) appended with interface description and interface type information. If the extended messages are not supported on the NMS, disable this function to let the device send standard linkUp/linkDown traps.

l          If the sending queue of traps is full, the system will automatically delete some oldest traps to receive new traps.

l          The system will automatically delete the traps whose lifetime expires.

 

Displaying and Maintaining SNMP

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

H3C private MIB involves two styles, H3C compatible MIB and H3C new MIB. In the H3C compatible MIB style, the device sysOID is under the H3C’s enterprise ID 25506, and the private MIB is under the enterprise ID 2011. In the H3C new MIB style, both the device sysOID and the private MIB are under the H3C’s enterprise ID 25506. These two styles of MIBs implement the same management function except for their root nodes. A device is shipped with MIB loaded and the MIB style may vary depending on the device. To implement NMS’s flexible management of the device, the device allows you to configure MIB style, that is, you can switch between the two styles of MIBs. However, you need to ensure that the MIB style of the device is the same as that of the NMS.

Setting the MIB Style

Follow these steps to set the MIB style:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

RMON Overview

This section covers these topics:

l          Introduction

l          RMON Groups

Introduction

Remote Monitoring (RMON) is implemented based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and is fully compatible with the existing SNMP framework without the need of any modification on SNMP.

RMON provides an efficient means of monitoring subnets and allows SNMP to monitor remote network devices in a more proactive and effective way. It reduces traffic between network management station (NMS) and agent, facilitating large network management.

RMON comprises two parts: NMSs and agents running on network devices.

l          Each RMON NMS administers the agents within its administrative domain.

l          An RMON agent resides on a network monitor or a network probe. It monitors and collects statistics on traffic over the network segments connected to its interfaces, such as the total number of packets passed through a network segment over a specified period, or the total number of good packets sent to a host.

Working Mechanism

RMON allows multiple monitors. A monitor provides two ways of data gathering:

l          Using RMON probes. NMSs can obtain management information from RMON probes directly and control network resources. In this approach, RMON NMSs can obtain all RMON MIB information.

l          Embedding RMON agents in network devices such as routers, switches, and hubs to provide the RMON probe function. RMON NMSs exchange data with RMON agents using basic SNMP commands to gather network management information, which, due to system resources limitation, may not cover all MIB information but four groups of information, alarm, event, history, and statistics, in most cases.

The device adopts the second way. By using RMON agents on network monitors, an NMS can obtain information about traffic size, error statistics, and performance statistics for network management.

RMON Groups

Among the ten RMON groups defined by RMON specifications (RFC 1757), the device supports the event group, alarm group, history group and statistics group. Besides, H3C also defines and implements the private alarm group, which enhances the functions of the alarm group. This section describes the five kinds of groups in general.

Event group

The event group defines event indexes and controls the generation and notifications of the events triggered by the alarms defined in the alarm group and the private alarm group. The events can be handled in one of the following ways:

l          Logging event related information in the event log table

l          Sending traps to NMSs

l          Logging event information in the event log table and sending traps to NMSs

l          No action

Alarm group

The RMON alarm group monitors specified alarm variables, such as statistics on a port. If the sampled value of the monitored variable is bigger than or equal to the upper threshold, an upper event is triggered; if the sampled value of the monitored variable is lower than or equal to the lower threshold, a lower event is triggered. The event is then handled as defined in the event group.

The following is how the system handles entries in the RMON alarm table:

1)        Samples the alarm variables at the specified interval.

2)        Compares the sampled values with the predefined threshold and triggers events if all triggering conditions are met.

 

If a sampled alarm variable overpasses the same threshold multiple times, only the first one can cause an alarm event. That is, the rising alarm and falling alarm are alternate.

 

Private alarm group

The private alarm group calculates the sampled values of alarm variables and compares the result with the defined threshold, thereby realizing a more comprehensive alarming function.

System handles the prialarm alarm table entry (as defined by the user) in the following ways:

l          Periodically samples the prialarm alarm variables defined in the prialarm formula.

l          Calculates the sampled values based on the prialarm formula.

l          Compares the result with the defined threshold and generates an appropriate event.

 

If the count result overpasses the same threshold multiple times, only the first one can cause an alarm event. That is, the rising alarm and falling alarm are alternate.

 

History group

The history group periodically collects statistics on data at interfaces and saves the statistics in the history record table for query convenience. The statistics data includes bandwidth utilization, number of error packets, and total number of packets.

Once you successfully create a history entry in the specified interface, the history group starts to periodically collect statistics on packet at the specified interface. Each statistical value is a cumulative sum of packets sent/received on the interface during a sampling period.

Ethernet statistics group

The statistics group monitors port utilization. It provides statistics about network collisions, CRC alignment errors, undersize/oversize packets, broadcasts, multicasts, bytes received, packets received, and so on.

After the creation of a statistics entry on an interface, the statistics group starts to collect traffic statistics on the current interface. The result of the statistics is a cumulative sum.

Configuring RMON

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring RMON, configure the SNMP agent as described in SNMP Configuration in the System Volume.

Configuration Procedure

Follow these steps to configure RMON:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Create an event entry in the event table

rmon event entry-number [ description string ] { log | log-trap log-trapcommunity | none | trap trap-community } [ owner text ]

Optional

Enter Ethernet interface view

interface interface-type interface-number

Create an entry in the history table

rmon history entry-number buckets number interval sampling-interval [ owner text ]

Optional

Create an entry in the statistics table

rmon statistics entry-number [ owner text ]

Optional

Exit Ethernet interface view

quit

Create an entry in the alarm table

rmon alarm entry-number alarm-variable sampling-interval { absolute | delta } rising-threshold threshold-value1 event-entry1 falling-threshold threshold-value2 event-entry2 [ owner text ]

Optional

Create an entry in the private alarm table

rmon prialarm entry-number prialarm-formula prialarm-des sampling-interval { absolute | changeratio | delta } rising-threshold threshold-value1 event-entry1 falling-threshold threshold-value2 event-entry2 entrytype { forever | cycle cycle-period } [ owner text ]

Optional

 

l          A new entry cannot be created if its parameters are identical with the corresponding parameters of an existing entry Refer to Table 3-1 for the parameters to be compared for different entries.

l          The system limits the total number of each type of entries (Refer to Table 3-1 for the detailed numbers). When the total number of an entry reaches the maximum number of entries that can be created, the creation fails.

l          When you create an entry in the history table, if the specified buckets number argument exceeds the history table size supported by the device, the entry will be created. However, the validated value of the buckets number argument corresponding to the entry is the history table size supported by the device.
