About Understanding SNMP Mibs
Product Description Shows network professionals how to design, define, write and update useful SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) that support standards-based network management.KEY TOPICS: Introduces SNMP MIBs, documents that contain definitions of management information which allow systems to be remotely monitored, configured and controlled. Presents a model of an SNMP-based management network and defines the SNMP management framework. Walks through the construction of MIBs, including name space organization, MIB naming, maintenance, object semantics and object style, and othe topics. Presents advanced techniques, including tables within tables, multi-table relationships and linked lists. Shows how to analyze standard MIBs. Discusses front-end and back-end MIB compilers, including SMIC, NetView/6000 SunNet Manager and HP OpenView. Includes a guide to MIB developer's resources. MARKET: Anyone involved in building systems that must be compliant with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the leading international standard for network management. From the Publisher The first complete, practical insider's guide to writing SNMP MIBs. With this book, network professionals can learn how to design, define, write and update useful SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) that support standards-based network management. The book introduces SNMP MIBs -- documents that contain definitions of management information which allow systems to be remotely monitored, configured and controlled. Next, it presents a model of an SNMP-based management network and defines the SNMP management framework. Readers will walk through the construction of MIBs, including name space organization, MIB naming, maintenance, object semantics and object style, and other topics. Advanced techniques are presented, including tables within tables, multi-table relationships and linked lists. Readers learn how to analyze standard MIBs. Front-end and back-end MIB compilers are discussed, including SMIC, NetView/6000 SunNet Manager and HP OpenView. The book also includes a guide to MIB developer's resources. From the Inside Flap The Berkeley California philosopher Ashleigh Brilliant once wrote, The world is controlled by a small, evil group to which no one I know belongs. If it seems that the rules and subtleties of writing an SNMP MIB are controlled by the same secretive group, you're not alone. Until now there has been little guidance provided on how to write, read, and use MIBs. In a nutshell, MIBs are specifications containing definitions of management information so that network systems can be remotely monitored, configured, and controlled. The standards bodies involved have formal documents that state the set of rules which must be followed in writing MIBs. The rules are written in an adapted sub-set of an obsolete version of a specification language called Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1). These documents are almost unreadable, since the ASN.1 language is intended more for machine processing than human comprehension. Also, no one has yet provided a style guide for MIB writers, or an answer book for MIB readers. The unfortunate result has been that understanding MIBs often comes down to learning the oral folklore, or worse, reading the endless stream of email on a large number of IETF mailing lists. Unfortunately, much of this email and other information made available on the Internet is not quite correct. As a result, many MIB writers end up reinventing the wheel, using conflicting techniques, simply because the authors didn't know about a precedent in another MIB, or writing incorrect MIBs. Thus, understanding MIBs requires careful and detailed reading to determine the intent of the author. There has been enormous growth in recent years in the development of SNMP-based management stations, as well as a flood of MIBs from both vendors and international standards bodies. These MIBs are the language of network and applications m
