        please tell me what "the parser" is, this is where I am
   confused, does net-snmp provide an importing feature to support
   3rd party mib's? or are you reffering to if i made a parser?

        what does this do? what does parsing the mib do? then what
   functionality comes from that? im just confused as to how I will
   snmpwalk this router with the foundry MIB, which i need to be
   able to execute like : snmpwalk <ip> <community> <mib_name>

        and then, how will I look at the returned values and know
  what they all mean etc.

	I think i am asking the wrong questions cause i am dealing
   with an area of SNMP implimentation that is new to me (incorporating
   3rd party mibs, knowing how to understand what they mean, knowing
   what to do with mib files etc, all new to me). perhaps a more general
   description of how this all ties into net-snmp, and how to do what im
   trying to do with it?

NET-SNMP actually does ryhme if you spell out the "N E T".  But who

It's not a proprietary scripting language, but it does look like a
"stripped down" version of a mib.

The parser can probably read it if you munge it a bit to include at
least the standard parts (The BEGIN and IMPORT statements, for
example).

See the FAQ for information about loading the textual mibs into the
tools so they'll attempt to parse them.

Well, the first octet needs to contain the day number - i.e. 26
The next three octets contain the three characters of the month string
    i.e. 'J' 'u' 'n'
And the final two octets contain the year number - i.e. 2000

  (BTW - I think the definition is wrong - it probably ought to read

  )


So that means the variable value should contain the six octets:


	26	74	117	110	7	208


Note that  ascii 74 is 'J', ascii 117 is 'u', ascii 110 is 'n' and
7*256+208 = 2000

DISPLAY-HINT and TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONS

[<Igo...@vf...>]

Hi,

I have 2 questions regarding textual conventions, for example if I 
define an SNMP object to be of type DateString (as defined here), 
what sort of value would I have to send in order that the user 
requesting a variable actually receives 26-Jun-2000. Would an SNMP 
Manager use MIB file and the DISPLAY-HINT clause to format the 
actual output on the management console screen ? 

DateString ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
	DISPLAY-HINT	"1d-3a-2d"
	STATUS			current
	DESCRIPTION
		"Date specification as delimited octet strings. The strings
are 
		converted as follows:
		    field  octets  contents                  range
		    -----  ------  --------                  -----
		      1       1    day                       1..31
		      2      2-5   month                    Jan-Dec
		      3       6    year                     0..65536
		
		    For example, Monday 26th June, 2000 at 13:30 would be
		    displayed as:
		            26-Jun-2000"
	SYNTAX			OCTET STRING (SIZE (6))

Other question is regarding following textual convention
Percent ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
	DISPLAY-HINT	"d-2"
	STATUS			current
	DESCRIPTION
		"Ratio expressed as an integer, formatted so that decimal
		point makes it into a real number with 2 decimal places.
		For example, integer 5367 will be rendered as 53.67"
	SYNTAX		INTEGER (0..10000)

Would it be possible to use this so I can say send a value of 5367, and 
the DISPLAY-HINT would format it as 53.67.

Thank you,

Igor Naumovski

question about supporting MIBs

[Nick J. <ni...@na...>]

hi,
	I have developed a network monitoring program and am using
  SNMP as one of the primary monitoring tools. Currently just mib-2
  and ucd are supported (as they come with UCD-SNMP, (or now NET-SNMP 
  even though it now doesn't ryhme)).

 	My question is, that recently someone sent me a "MIB" for a 
  cisco router that he wants me to support, the MIB is a text file
  with what seems to be like some proprietary MIB scripting language,
  here's an exerpt:

*** CLIP ***
	router          OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { products 2 }
  snIpx                 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { router 1 }
  snIp                  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { router 2 }
  snRip                 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { router 3 }
  snOspf                OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { router 4 }
  snDvmrp               OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { router 5 }

  snSI              OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { snServerIron 1 }
  snSIXL            OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { snServerIron 2 }
*** CLIP ***

	my question is, is this in fact some scripting language
  and in order to "drop in" MIBs i need to develop a parser 
  to read this kind of stuff? The way I do it for mib-2 and ucd
  is I have a perl script run through an snmpwalk and parse the
  value's according to static logic I set up individually for each
  MIB (I have some books that explain each value of mib-2 and ucd)
  I don't have such a reference for these other 3rd party MIBs
  and am not savy enough to look at the above example and know
  what to do with it.

	can someone please clear up for me the standard ways in
  which developers support 3rd party mibs etc?

Most of these items are located in the Host resources MIB.  You can also add
your own OIDs that trigger shell or perl scripts that can report back any data
that you wish.  Check the man page for more details.

I've developed a small and simple in-house system that uses ucd^H^H^Hnet-snmp
 and rrdtool (http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/) to graph 
values that you've mentioned - it uses mysql to store immediate values and 
thresholds, and perl to glue it alltogether.  I get pages when certain 
thresholds are met/exceeded.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a package like this that has been
'productized' enough to be used in a general fashion.  If I have free time
(don't count on it :), I may try to fix it up and release it publically.
Actually, there is ORCA (http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~blair/orca/) - the last
time I looked at it, it was tailored for Solaris and didn't use any kind of
snmp service... that may have changed by now, so you should probably take a
look.

So anyway, cooking up something like this is pretty straightforward.  RRDTool
is a really neat tool to use if you want to see any kind of value over time
(in fact, the latest version uses RRDtool as the db and graphing engine)...
the hardest part (and it's not really that hard) is feeding it values; with
net-snmp at your disposal and some shell/perl/python hackery, there's not much 
difficulty to it.

Good luck,

Me :).

Actually, I was having problems getting descriptions and other data for an
OID. Those were due to my not understanding how everything works. I've
fixed the first part and am still working on the second :).

During my investigations I was running into a parser error complaining
that RFC1212-MIB.txt wasn't available, which it's not since I don't have
it. While searching for it, in order to find out if I needed it, I came
across the post from Niels. Presuming he was correct I wanted to make sure
I understood what I was seeing prior to asking the vendor to fix their
MIBs :).

I have found a copy of the MIB,
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/argus/mibs/rfcs/rfc1212.mib.gz. I don't
believe it hurts anything to throw it in there. Am I correct? Should the
net-snmp (pfkaus[1]) package include it?

The OBJECT-TYPE macro is indeed internally defined, so isn't normally
needed - but it shouldn't break anything.  In fact, being picky about
things, this definition *is* needed to form a legal MIB, even though
most parsers will cope without it.   Note that the "standard" MIB-2
definition (RFC1213) does import OBJECT-TYPE from RFC-1212, and our
tools are quite happy with this.

Can you be a bit more specific about what's failing.

RFC 1212 MIB?

[der.hans <snmp-quatsch@LuftHans.com>]

moin, moin,

I'm farily new to SNMP, but appear to have run into an error in a vendor's
MIB and wanted to doublecheck that I'm correct before asking them to fix
it :).

In a post[1] several months ago Niels, who from what I can see has been
posting good answers, says that importing from RFC1212 is probably an
error.

The following leads me to believe that this vendor is importing from
RFC1212:

-- Imports

IMPORTS
   TimeTicks, IpAddress, Counter, Gauge
      FROM RFC1155-SMI
   OBJECT-TYPE
      FROM RFC-1212
   snChassis, snAgentSys, snStack
      FROM FOUNDRY-SN-ROOT-MIB;


Neils' post says the OBJECT-TYPE macro is internally defined by MIB
parsers, so I'd think we don't need that :). Does it break anything?

GPL is totally unusable for PD software. Too many possibilities for greedy

LGPL is a little bit better (~ decent) approach.

Frank, thanks a lot!!! OBJECT-IDENTITY gives exactly the solution we needed!
E.g. it allowes DESCRIPTION and REFERENCE clauses and can be used for branches.

Although, in most MIB modules a simple OBJECT IDENTIFIER assignment is
used for this purpose (which does not have the capability to apply
status, description, and reference information), you may consider to
use the OBJECT-IDENTITY construct. See Section 6 of RFC 2578 for
details. It says that

   The OBJECT-IDENTITY macro is used to define information about an
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER assignment.

Hence, it satisfies your requirements. In my opinion the following text:

   [...]  All administrative OBJECT IDENTIFIER assignments which
   define a type identification value ([...]) should be defined via
   the OBJECT-IDENTITY macro. [...]

is just an example, and not the exclusive use-case for the
OBJECT-IDENTITY clause. At least this is the way I can interpret the
specification.

Within all the current 150 MIBs published as RFCs I could find only 5
OBJECT-IDENTITY definitions that are no leaf nodes:

  ATM-ACCOUNTING-INFORMATION-MIB::atmAcctngDataObjects
  DNS-SERVER-MIB::dns
  Printer-MIB::printerV1Alert
  RADIUS-ACC-CLIENT-MIB::radiusMIB
  RMON-MIB::rmonEventsV2

But I assume, these usages are absolutely legal.

I would appreciate comments from others - maybe the SMIv2 specs
authors - on this question (Cc'ed to the mibs mailing list). 

Question about MIBs

[Igor L. <il...@pl...>]

I have a question about mib writing.
Is it correct to use OBJECT-TYPE macro to define a branch?
The problem is that I'd like to add descriptions to some of the branches
in my MIB but I do not know how to add DESCRIPTION clause to it if it is 
not OBJECT-TYPE. I could use MODULE-IDENTITY macro but I'm not sure if
it's only applicable to the topmost branch in my MIB.

Thanks in advance,

Igor

No.

No.

It's functionally equivalent to the current license.  There are
example BSD licenses under the sourceforge docs, or you can wait a few 
days till I get everything in place...

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: ucd-snmp is moving!

[Gordon S. <tig...@ho...>]

I'm porting net-snmp to our commercial set-top-box, the UCD-snmp is totally 
free,it's easy to understand for me and our lawyer.
but what does "true BSD style license" means? should i pay some royalty fee 
or license free, do i have to publish my source code after i port it?

Please help me out since this is really important to our ongoing porting 
project.

Thanks,

Gordon

ifSpeed on ehternet cards (linux)

[<rud...@ph...>]

Hi all,

Under Linux the agent correctly detects the different ethernet interfaces in the systems. Not correctly reported is the speed. I would like a way to tell the agent the speed of the interfaces. The questions now are:

1. Is it possible for the agent to detect the ethernet speed?
2. Has somebody already got a solution to this?
3. a possible solution: adding a speed statement to snmpd.conf like:
    'ifSpeed eth0 10Mbit' or 'ifSpeed eth1 100Mbit'  or something akin.

Afraid i'm no longer a programmer and quit filled in my time....

Want to use this in conjunction with MRTG to get a good idea of network load on several machines.

Anyone?

Yes there will be a small licensing change.  It will probably change
to a true BSD style license but that shouldn't functionally affect
anyone as far as using the code.

The project is still remaining on open-source project.
