RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
1. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
RFC 1213, STD 17, [3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of
managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
RFC 1905 [4] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Within a given MIB module,
objects are defined using the SMI's OBJECT-TYPE macro. At a minimum,
each object has a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an
implementation-status.
The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name,
which specifies an object type. 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 object descriptor, to also refer to the object type.
The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 [6] language is used
for this purpose. However, RFC 1902 purposely restricts the ASN.1
constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made
for simplicity.
The access-level of an object type defines whether it makes "protocol
sense" to read and/or write the value of an instance of the object
type. (This access-level is independent of any administrative
authorization policy.)
The implementation-status of an object type indicates whether the
object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated.
2. Overview
This document continues the architecture created in the RMON MIB [RFC
1757] by providing a major feature upgrade, primarily by providing
RMON analysis up to the application layer.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
Remote network monitoring devices, often called monitors or probes,
are instruments that exist for the purpose of managing a network.
Often these remote probes are stand-alone devices and devote
significant internal resources for the sole purpose of managing a
network. An organization may employ many of these devices, one per
network segment, to manage its internet. In addition, these devices
may be used for a network management service provider to access a
client network, often geographically remote.
The objects defined in this document are intended as an interface
between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are not
intended for direct manipulation by humans. While some users may
tolerate the direct display of some of these objects, few will
tolerate the complexity of manually manipulating objects to
accomplish row creation. These functions should be handled by the
management application.
2.1. Remote Network Management Goals
o Offline Operation
There are sometimes conditions when a management
station will not be in constant contact with its
remote monitoring devices. This is sometimes by
design in an attempt to lower communications costs
(especially when communicating over a WAN or
dialup link), or by accident as network failures
affect the communications between the management
station and the probe.
For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be
configured to perform diagnostics and to collect
statistics continuously, even when communication with
the management station may not be possible or
efficient. The probe may then attempt to notify
the management station when an exceptional condition
occurs. Thus, even in circumstances where
communication between management station and probe is
not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration
information may be continuously accumulated and
communicated to the management station conveniently
and efficiently.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
o Proactive Monitoring
Given the resources available on the monitor, it
is potentially helpful for it continuously to run
diagnostics and to log network performance. The
monitor is always available at the onset of any
failure. It can notify the management station of the
failure and can store historical statistical
information about the failure. This historical
information can be played back by the management
station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis
into the cause of the problem.
o Problem Detection and Reporting
The monitor can be configured to recognize
conditions, most notably error conditions, and
continuously to check for them. When one of these
conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and
management stations may be notified in a number of
ways.
o Value Added Data
Because a remote monitoring device represents a
network resource dedicated exclusively to network
management functions, and because it is located
directly on the monitored portion of the network, the
remote network monitoring device has the opportunity
to add significant value to the data it collects.
For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the
network that generate the most traffic or errors, the
probe can give the management station precisely the
information it needs to solve a class of problems.
o Multiple Managers
An organization may have multiple management stations
for different units of the organization, for different
functions (e.g. engineering and operations), and in an
attempt to provide disaster recovery. Because
environments with multiple management stations are
common, the remote network monitoring device has to
deal with more than own management station,
potentially using its resources concurrently.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
2.2. Structure of MIB
The objects are arranged into the following groups:
- protocol directory
- protocol distribution
- address mapping
- network layer host
- network layer matrix
- application layer host
- application layer matrix
- user history
- probe configuration
These groups are the basic units of conformance. If a remote
monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all
objects in that group. For example, a managed agent that implements
the network layer matrix group must implement the nlMatrixSDTable and
the nlMatrixDSTable.
Implementations of this MIB must also implement the system and
interfaces group of MIB-II [3]. MIB-II may also mandate the
implementation of additional groups.
These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object
identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents to know which
objects they must implement.
This document also contains enhancements to tables defined in the
RMON MIB [RFC 1757]. These enhancements include:
1) Adding the DroppedFrames and LastCreateTime
conventions to each table defined in the RMON MIB.
2) Augmenting the RMON filter table with a mechanism
that allows filtering based on an offset from the
beginning of a particular protocol, even if the
protocol headers are variable length.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
3) Augmenting the RMON filter and capture status bits
with additional bits for WAN media and generic media.
These bits are defined here as:
Bit Definition
6 For WAN media, this bit is set for packets
coming from one direction and cleared for
packets coming from the other direction.
It is an implementation specific matter
as to which bit is assigned to which
direction, but it must be consistent for
all packets received by the agent, and if
the agent knows which end of the link is
"local" and which end is "network", the bit
should be set for packets from the "local"
side and should be cleared for packets from
the "network" side.
7 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
with a physical layer error. This bit may be
set in addition to other media-specific bits
that denote the same condition.
8 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
that is too short for the media. This bit may
be set in addition to other media-specific
bits that denote the same condition.
9 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
that is too long for the media. This bit may
be set in addition to other media-specific bits
that denote the same condition.
These enhancements are implemented by RMON-2 probes that also
implement RMON and do not add any requirements to probes that are
compliant to just RMON.
3. Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices
Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these
devices, the functions often need user configuration. In many cases,
the function requires parameters to be set up for a data collection
operation. The operation can proceed only after these parameters are
fully set up.
Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which
to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to
place the results of the operation. The control tables are typically
read/write in nature, while the data tables are typically read/only.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting
data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only
when the control entry is not active. Thus, the method for modifying
these parameters is to de-activate the entry, perform the SNMP Set
operations to modify the entry, and then re-activate the entry.
Deleting the control entry causes the deletion of any associated data
entries, which also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the
resources used by the associated data.
Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on
the remote monitoring device. These objects may execute an action as
a result of a change in the state of the object. For those objects
in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it
currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.
To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be
shared among the managers. These resources are typically the memory
and computation resources that a function requires.
3.1. Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations
When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete
for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate
this sharing of resources is required. Potential conflicts include:
o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use
resources that together would exceed the capability of
the device.
o A management station uses a significant amount of
resources for a long period of time.
o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
forgetting to free the resources so others may
use them.
The OwnerString mechanism is provided for each management station
initiated function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help
resolve them when they occur. Each function has a label identifying
the initiator (owner) of the function. This label is set by the
initiator to provide for the following possibilities:
o A management station may recognize resources it owns
and no longer needs.
o A network operator can find the management station that
owns the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free
resources another network operator has reserved.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
resources it had reserved in the past. With this
information it may free the resources if it no longer
needs them.
Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner
string dictated by the local policy of the organization. It is
suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP
address, management station name, network manager's name, location,
or phone number. This information will help users to share the
resources more effectively.
There is often default functionality that the device or the
administrator of the probe (often the network administrator) wishes
to set up. The resources associated with this functionality are then
owned by the device itself or by the network administrator, and are
intended to be long-lived. In this case, the device or the
administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting
with 'monitor'. Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned
configuration by network management stations is discouraged. In
fact, a network management station should only modify these objects
under the direction of the administrator of the probe.
Resources on a probe are scarce and are typically allocated when
control rows are created by an application. Since many applications
may be using a probe simultaneously, indiscriminate allocation of
resources to particular applications is very likely to cause resource
shortages in the probe.
When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a
monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table of that
function to find an instance with similar parameters to share. This
is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which
can be assumed to change infrequently. If a management station
decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it
should understand that the management station that owns the instance
may indiscriminately modify or delete it.
It should be noted that a management application should have the most
trust in a monitor-owned row because it should be changed very
infrequently. A row owned by the management application is less
long-lived because a network administrator is more likely to re-
assign resources from a row that is in use by one user than from a
monitor-owned row that is potentially in use by many users. A row
owned by another application would be even less long-lived because
the other application may delete or modify that row completely at its
discretion.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
3.2. Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations
The addition of new rows is achieved using the RowStatus method
described in RFC 1903 [2]. In this MIB, rows are often added to a
table in order to configure a function. This configuration usually
involves parameters that control the operation of the function. The
agent must check these parameters to make sure they are appropriate
given restrictions defined in this MIB as well as any implementation
specific restrictions such as lack of resources. The agent
implementor may be confused as to when to check these parameters and
when to signal to the management station that the parameters are
invalid. There are two opportunities:
o When the management station sets each parameter object.
o When the management station sets the row status object
to active.
If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management
station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the
badValue error to be emitted. Thus, wherever possible, the
implementor should choose the former as it will provide more
information to the management station.
A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set
configuration information simultaneously using SNMP. When this
involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control
table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry.
To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a
status object with special semantics that help to arbitrate among the
managers. If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to
create such a status object and that object already exists, an error
is returned. When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to
create the same conceptual row, only the first will succeed. The
others will receive an error.
In the RMON MIB [RFC 1757], the EntryStatus textual convention was
introduced to provide this mutual exclusion function. Since then,
this function was added to the SNMP framework as the RowStatus
textual convention. The RowStatus textual convention is used for the
definition of all new tables.
When a manager wishes to create a new control entry, it needs to
choose an index for that row. It may choose this index in a variety
of ways, hopefully minimizing the chances that the index is in use by
another manager. If the index is in use, the mechanism mentioned
previously will guard against collisions. Examples of schemes to
choose index values include random selection or scanning the control
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
table looking for the first unused index. Because index values may
be any valid value in the range and they are chosen by the manager,
the agent must allow a row to be created with any unused index value
if it has the resources to create a new row.
Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this MIB. When
creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is generally
allowable for dangling references to exist. There is no defined
order for creating or deleting entries in these tables.
4. Conventions
The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and its
companion documents.
Good Packets
Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame length.
For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that
are between 64 octets long and 1518 octets long. They follow the
form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.
Bad Packets
Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are therefore
recognized as packets, but contain errors within the packet or have
an invalid length. For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a
valid preamble and SFD, but have a bad CRC, or are either shorter
than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.
5. RMON 2 Conventions
The following practices and conventions are introduced in the RMON 2
MIB.
5.1. Usage of the term Application Level
There are many cases in this MIB where the term Application Level is
used to describe a class of protocols or a capability. This does not
typically mean a protocol that is an OSI Layer 7 protocol. Rather,
it is used to identify a class of protocols that is not limited to
MAC-layer and network-layer protocols, but can also include
transport, session, presentation, and application-layer protocols.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
5.2. Protocol Directory and Limited Extensibility
Every RMON 2 implementation will have the capability to parse certain
types of packets and identify their protocol type at multiple levels,
The protocol directory presents an inventory of those protocol types
the probe is capable of monitoring, and allows the addition,
deletion, and configuration of protocol types in this list.
One concept deserves special attention: the "limited extensibility"
of the protocol directory table. The RMON 2 model is that protocols
are detected by static software that has been written at
implementation time. Therefore, as a matter of configuration, an
implementation does not have the ability to suddenly learn how to
parse new packet types. However, an implementation may be written
such that the software knows where the demultiplexing field is for a
particular protocol, and can be written in such a way that the
decoding of the next layer up is table-driven. This works when the
code has been written to accomodate it and can be extended no more
than one level higher. This extensibility is called "limited
extensibility" to highlight these limitations. However, this can be
a very useful tool.
For example, suppose that an implementation has C code that
understands how to decode IP packets on any of several ethernet
encapsulations, and also knows how to interpret the IP protocol field
to recognize UDP packets and how to decode the UDP port number
fields. That implementation may be table- driven so that among the
many different UDP port numbers possible, it is configured to
recognize 161 as SNMP, port 53 as DNS, and port 69 as TFTP. The
limited extensibility of the protocol directory table would allow an
SNMP operation to create an entry that would create an additional
table mapping for UDP that would recognize UDP port 123 as NTP and
begin counting such packets.
This limited extensibility is an option that an implementation can
choose to allow or disallow for any protocol that has child
protocols.
5.3. Errors in packets
Packets with link-level errors are not counted anywhere in this MIB
because most variables in this MIB requires the decoding of the
contents of the packet, which is meaningless if there is a link-level
error.
Packets in which protocol errors are detected are counted for all
protocols below the layer in which the error was encountered. The
implication of this is that packets in which errors are detected at
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
the network-layer are not counted anywhere in this MIB, while packets
with errors detected at the transport layer may have network-layer
statistics counted.

Provided that an application discovers the new object within
the minimum time to wrap it can use the initial value as a
delta since it last polled the table of which this object is
part. It is important for a management station to be aware of
this minimum time and the actual time between polls, and to
discard data if the actual time is too long or there is no
defined minimum time.
Typically this TC is used in tables where the INDEX space is

A row is considered changed if the value of any object in the

When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.
One entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime, except that
the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.
As this basic row is updated new conceptual rows are created
(which still share the now updated object values with all
other instances). The number of instances which are created
is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the basic row
was last updated. One instance will exist for each value of
sysUpTime at the last update time for the row. A new
timeMark instance is created for each new sysUpTime value.
Each new conceptual row will be associated with the timeMark
instance which was created at the value of sysUpTime with
which the conceptual row is to be associated.
By definition all conceptual rows were updated at or after
time zero and so at least one conceptual row (associated with
timeMark.0) must exist for each underlying (basic) row.

assignment mechanisms for certain subtrees. See RFC XXX for
more details.
Despite the algorithmic mechanism, the probe will only place
entries in here for those protocols it chooses to collect. In
other words, it need not populate this table with all of the
possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
the fly when it sees them. Whether or not it does these
things is a matter of product definition (cost/benefit,
usability), and is up to the designer of the product.
If an entry is written to this table with a protocolDirID that
the agent doesn't understand, either directly or
algorithmically, the SET request will be rejected with an
inconsistentName or badValue (for SNMPv1) error."

DESCRIPTION
"This object describes 2 attributes of this protocol
directory entry.
The presence or absence of the `extensible' bit describes
whether or not this protocol directory entry can be extended
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
by the user by creating protocol directory entries which are
children of this protocol.
An example of an entry that will often allow extensibility is
`ip.udp'. The probe may automatically populate some children
of this node such as `ip.udp.snmp' and `ip.udp.dns'.
A probe administrator or user may also populate additional
children via remote SNMP requests that create entries in this
table. When a child node is added for a protocol for which the
probe has no built in support, extending a parent node (for
which the probe does have built in support),
that child node is not extendible. This is termed `limited
extensibility'.
When a child node is added through this extensibility
mechanism, the values of protocolDirLocalIndex and
protocolDirType shall be assigned by the agent.
The other objects in the entry will be assigned by the
manager who is creating the new entry.
This object also describes whether or not this agent can
recognize addresses for this protocol, should it be a network
level protocol. That is, while a probe may be able to
recognize packets of a particular network layer protocol and
count them, it takes additional logic to be able to recognize
the addresses in this protocol and to populate network layer
or application layer tables with the addresses in this
protocol. If this bit is set, the agent will recognize
network layer addresses for this protoocl and populate the
network and application layer host and matrix tables with
these protocols.
Note that when an entry is created, the agent will supply
values for the bits that match the capabilities of the agent
with respect to this protocol. Note that since row creations
usually exercise the limited extensibility feature, these
bits will usually be set to zero."

-- User History Collection Group (usrHistory)
--
-- The usrHistory group combines mechanisms seen in the alarm and
-- history groups to provide user-specified history collection,
-- utilizing two additional control tables and one additional data
-- table. This function has traditionally been done by NMS
-- applications, via periodic polling. The usrHistory group allows
-- this task to be offloaded to an RMON probe.
--
-- Data (an ASN.1 INTEGER based object) is collected in the same
-- manner as any history data table (e.g. etherHistoryTable) except
-- that the user specifies the MIB instances to be collected. Objects
-- are collected in bucket-groups, with the intent that all MIB
-- instances in the same bucket-group are collected as atomically as
-- possible by the RMON probe.
--
-- The usrHistoryControlTable is a one-dimensional read-create table.
-- Each row configures a collection of user history buckets, much
-- the same as a historyControlEntry, except that the creation of a
-- row in this table will cause one or more associated instances in
-- the usrHistoryObjectTable to be created. The user specifies the
-- number of bucket elements (rows in the usrHistoryObjectTable)
-- requested, as well as the number of buckets requested.
--
-- The usrHistoryObjectTable is a 2-d read-write table.
-- Each row configures a single MIB instance to be collected.
-- All rows with the same major index constitute a bucket-group.
--
-- The usrHistoryTable is a 3-d read-only table containing
-- the data of associated usrHistoryControlEntries. Each
-- entry represents the value of a single MIB instance
-- during a specific sampling interval (or the rate of
-- change during the interval).
--
-- A sample value is stored in two objects - an absolute value and
-- a status object. This allows numbers from -(2G-1) to +4G to be
-- stored. The status object also indicates whether a sample is
-- valid. This allows data collection to continue if periodic
-- retrieval of a particular instance fails for any reason.

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This data type is used to communicate with a modem or a
serial data switch. A ControlString contains embedded
commands to control how the device will interact with the
remote device through the serial interface. Commands are
represented as two character sequences beginning with
the `^' character.
The following commands are recognized by the device (note
that command characters are case sensitive):
^s Send string that follows which is terminated by the
next command or the end of string.
^c Delay for the number of seconds that follows. Toss
out any data received rather than storing it in a
buffer for parsing.
^t Set timeout to the value represented by the decimal
digits that follow. The default timeout is 20
seconds. Note that this timeout may be overridden
by a smaller serialTimeout configured for the
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 88]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
associated serial interface (see serialConfigTable).
^w Wait for the reply string that follows which is
terminated by the next command or the end of string.
Partial and case insensitive matching is applied, ie.
if the reply string (any case combination) is found
anywhere in the received string, then the a match is
found. If the current timeout elapses without a match,
then the remaining control string is ignored.
^! The ^ character.
^d Delay the number of seconds specified by the decimal
digits that follow.
^b Send break for the number of milliseconds specified by
the decimal digits that follow. If no digits follow,
break will be enforced for 250 milliseconds by default.
The following ASCII control characters may be inserted into
the `^s' send string or the `^w' reply string:
^@ 0x00
^A 0x01
..
^M 0x0D
..
^Z 0x1A
^[ 0x1B
^ 0x1C
^] 0x1D
^^ 0x1E
^_ 0x1F
Binary data may also be inserted into the data stream. The
control sequence for each byte of binary data is ^0x##, where
## is the hexadecimal representation of the data byte. Two
ASCII characters (0-9, a-f, A-F) must follow the `^0x'
control prefix. For example, `^0x0D^0x0A' is interpreted as a
carriage return followed by a line feed."

7. Security Considerations
In order to implement this MIB, a probe must capture all packets on
the locally-attached network, including packets between third
parties. These packets are analyzed to collect network addresses,
protocol usage information, and conversation statistics. Data of this
nature may be considered sensitive in some environments. In such
environments the administrator may wish to restrict SNMP access to
the probe.
A probe implementing this MIB is likely to also implement RMON
[RFC1757], which includes functions for returning the contents of
captured packets, potentially including sensitive user data or
passwords. It is recommended that SNMP access to these functions be
restricted.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 122]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
8. Appendix - TimeFilter Implementation Notes
1) Theory of Operation
The TimeFilter mechanism allows an NMS to reduce the number of SNMP
transactions required for a 'table-update' operation. Polling of
tables that incorporate a 'TimeFilter' INDEX can be reduced to a
theoretical minimum (if used correctly). It can be easily implemented
by an agent in a way independent of the number of NMS applications
using the same time-filtered table.
Although the name 'TimeFilter' may imply that a history of change
events is maintained by the agent, this is not the case. A time-
filtered-value represents the current value of the object instance,
not the 'saved' value at the time indicated by the TimeFilter INDEX
value. Note that TimeFilter objects only appear in INDEX clauses
(always not-accessible), so their value is never retrieved. By
design, the actual value of a TimeFilter instance is not in itself
meaningful (it's not a 'last-change-timestamp').
The TimeFilter is a boolean filtering function applied in internal
Get* PDU processing. If the 'last-change-time' of the specified
instance is less than the particular TimeFilter INDEX value, then the
instance is considered 'not-present' (skipped for GetNext and GetBulk
PDUs; 'noSuchInstance' or returned to the requester.
1.1) Agent Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table
In implementation, the time-filtered rows (one for each tick of
sysUpTime) are only conceptual. The agent simply filters a real table
based on:
* the current value of sysUpTime
* the TimeFilter value passed in the varbind
* the last-update timestamp of each requested counter
(agent implementation requirement)
For example, to implement a time-filtered counter, an agent maintains
a timestamp in a 32-bit storage location, initialized to zero. This
is in addition to whatever instrumentation is needed for the counter.
Each time the counter is updated, the current value of sysUpTime is
recorded in the associated timestamp. If this is not possible or
practical, then a background polling process must 'refresh' the
timestamp by sampling counter values and comparing them to recorded
samples. The timestamp update must occur within 5 seconds of the
actual change event.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 123]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
When an agent receives a Get, GetNext, or GetBulk PDU requesting a
time-filtered instance, the following agent has determined that the
instance is within the MIB view indicated by the community string in
the PDU.
/* return TRUE if the object is present */
boolean time_filter_test (
TimeFilter last_modified_timestamp,
TimeFilter index_value_in_pdu )
{
if (last_modified_timestamp < index_value_in_pdu)
return FALSE;
else
return TRUE;
}
The agent applies this function regardless of the lastActivationTime
of the conceptual row in question. In other words, counter
discontinuities are ignored (i.e. conceptual row deleted and then
re-created later). An agent should consider a object instance
'changed' when it is created (either at restart time for scalars and
static objects, or row-creation-time for dynamic tables).
Note that using a timeFilter INDEX value of zero removes the
filtering functionality, as the instance will always be
1.2) NMS Implementation of a Time-Filtered Table
The particular TimeFilter INDEX values used by an NMS reflect the
polling interval of the NMS, relative to the particular agent's
notion of sysUpTime.
An NMS needs to maintain one timestamp variable per agent
(initialized to zero) for an arbitrary group of time-filtered MIB
objects that are gathered together in the same PDU. Each time the
Get* PDU is sent, a request for sysUpTime is included. The retrieved
sysUpTime value is used as the timeFilter value in the next polling
cycle. If a polling sweep of a time-filtered group of objects
requires more than one SNMP transaction, then the sysUpTime value
retrieved in the first GetResponse PDU of the polling sweep is saved
as the next timeFilter value.
The actual last-update time of a given object is not indicated in the
returned GetResponse instance identifier, but rather the timeFilter
value passed in the Get*Request PDU is returned.

RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
A "time-filtered get-next/bulk-sweep", done once per polling
cycle, is a series of GetNext or GetBulk transactions, and is
over when one of the following events occurs:
1) the TimeFilter index value returned in the GetResponse is
different than the TimeFilter index value passed in the
GetNext or GetBulk request. Counter values will still be
returned beyond this point (until the last-change-time is
reached), but most likely the same values will be
returned.
2) the return PDU includes instances lexigraphically greater
than the objects expected (i.e. same GetNext semantics as
if the TimeFilter wasn't there)
3) a noSuchName or other exception/error is returned.
Note that the use of a time-filtered table in combination with a
GetRequest PDU neutralizes any optimization that otherwise might be
achieved with the TimeFilter, because no PDU transactions are saved.
Either the current time-filtered object-value is returned, or a
'noSuchInstance' exception (SNMPv1c) or 'noSuchName' error (SNMPv1)
is returned.
If GetBulk PDUs are used, then the value selected for response PDUs
generated by the agent, since duplicate entries (one per size. An
appropriate of conceptual rows in the time-filtered table if known, or
equal to the number of instances expected to fit in a GetResponse PDU
without causing a 'tooBig' error from the agent.
2) TimeFilter Example
The following example demonstrates how an NMS and Agent might use a
table with a TimeFilter object in the INDEX. A static table is
assumed to keep the example simple, but dynamic tables can also be
supported.
2.1) General Assumptions
fooEntry INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIfIndex }
FooEntry = SEQUENCE {
fooTimeMark TimeFilter,
fooIfIndex Integer32,
fooCounts Counter32
}
The NMS polls the fooTable every 15 seconds and the
baseline
poll occurs when the agent has been up for 6 seconds,
and the NMS has been up for 10 seconds.
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 125]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
There are 2 static rows in this table at system
initialization
(fooCounts.0.1 and fooCounts.0.2).
Row 1 was updated as follows:
SysUpTime fooCounts.*.1 value 500
1 900 2
2300 3
Row 2 was updated as follows:
SysUpTime fooCounts.*.2 value
1100 1
1400 2
2.2) SNMP Transactions from NMS Perspective
Time nms-1000:
# NMS baseline poll -- get everything since last agent
restart
# TimeFilter == 0
get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
fooCounts.0);
returns:
sysUpTime.0 == 600
fooCounts.0.1 == 1 # incremented at time 500
fooCounts.0.2 == 0 # visible since created at time 0
Time nms-2500:
# NMS 1st poll
# TimeFilter index == 600
get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
fooCounts.600);
returns:
sysUpTime.0 == 2100
fooCounts.600.1 == 2 # incremented at time 900
fooCounts.600.2 == 2 # incremented at times 1100 and
1400
fooCounts.601.1 == 2 # indicates end of sweep
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 126]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
Time nms-4000:
# NMS 2nd poll
# TimeFilter == 2100
get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
fooCounts.2100);
returns:
sysUpTime.0 == 3600
fooCounts.2100.1 == 3 # incremented at time 2300
fooCounts.2102.1 == 3 # indicates end-of-sweep
# the counter value for row 2 is not returned because
# it hasn't changed since sysUpTime == 2100.
# The next timetick value for row 1 is returned instead
Time nms-5500:
# NMS 3rd poll
# TimeFilter == 3600
get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
fooCounts.3600);
returns:
sysUpTime.0 == 5100
some-instance-outside-the-fooTable ==
some-instance-outside-the-fooTable ==
# no 'fooTable' counter values at all are returned
because
# neither counter has been updated since sysUpTime ==
3600
2.3) Transactions and TimeFilter Maintenance: Agent
Perspective
Time agt-0:
# initialize fooTable
fooCounts.1 = 0; changed.1 = 0;
fooCounts.2 = 0; changed.2 = 0;
Time agt-500:
# increment fooCounts.1
++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 500;
Waldbusser Standards Track [Page 127]
RFC 2021 Remote Network Monitoring MIB January 1997
Time agt-600
# answer get-bulk
# get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
# fooCounts.0);
# (changed >= 0)
# return both counters
Time agt-900:
# increment fooCounts.1
++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 900;
Time agt-1100:
# increment fooCounts.2
++fooCounts.2; changed.2 = 1100;
Time agt-1400:
# increment fooCounts.2
++fooCounts.2; changed.2 = 1400;
Time agt-2100
# answer get-bulk
# get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
# fooCounts.600);
# (changed >= 600)
# return both counters
Time agt-2300:
# increment fooCounts.1
++fooCounts.1; changed.1 = 2300;
Time agt-3600:
# answer get-bulk
# get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
# fooCounts.2100);
# (changed >= 2100)
# return only fooCounts.1 from the fooTable--twice
Time agt-5100:
# answer get-bulk
# get-bulk(nonRptrs=1, maxReps=2, sysUpTime.0,
# fooCounts.3600);
# (changed >= 3600)
# return lexigraphically-next two MIB instances
