1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].

2.  Overview

   The RMON2 MIB defines objects that provide RMON analysis up to the
   application layer.

   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

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 2]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   network segment, to manage its internet.  In addition, these devices
   may be used for a network management service provider to access a
   client network, which is often geographically remote.

   The objects defined in this document are intended to serve 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.  The management application should handle
   these functions.

2.1.  Remote Network Management Goals

   o  Offline Operation

      There are times when a management station will not be in constant
      contact with its remote monitoring devices.  This sometimes occurs
      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 the 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.

   o  Proactive Monitoring

      Given the resources available on the monitor, it is potentially
      helpful for it to run diagnostics continuously 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 of the cause of
      the problem.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 3]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   o  Problem Detection and Reporting

      The monitor can be configured to recognize conditions, most
      notably error conditions, and to check for them continuously.
      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 order to provide
      disaster recovery.  Because environments with multiple management
      stations are common, the remote network monitoring device has to
      deal with more than one management station, potentially using its
      resources concurrently.

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

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 4]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

      - 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 IF-MIB [RFC2863].

   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 AUGMENTing tables to extend some tables
   defined in the RMON MIB [RFC2819].  These extensions include the
   following:

      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 of variable length.

      3) Augmenting the RMON filter and capture status bits with
         additional bits for WAN media and generic media.  These bits
         are defined here as follows:

         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.  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.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 5]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

         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 that parameters 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.
   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 deactivate the entry, perform the SNMP Set
   operations to modify the entry, and then reactivate 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.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 6]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

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
   the following:

      o  Two management stations wish to use resources simultaneously
         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 that 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 unilaterally to free resources
         another network operator has reserved.

      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 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 they
   are intended to be long-lived.  In this case, the device or the
   administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 7]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   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 first to 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.

   Note 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 reassign resources from a row
   that is in use by one user than those 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.

3.2.  Row Addition among Multiple Management Stations

   The addition of new rows is achieved using the RowStatus Textual
   Convention [RFC2579].  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 the 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.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                     [Page 8]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   If the latter option 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 option, 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 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 [RFC2819], 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
   table while looking for the first unused index.  Because index values
   may be any valid value in the range and 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.

RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   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 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 that 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 they 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.

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 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.  Using the RMON 2 model, protocols
   are detected by static software that has been written at
   implementation time.  Therefore, as a matter of configuration, an
   implementation cannot 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 it 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 accommodate it and can be extended no more than one level higher.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                    [Page 10]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   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 require 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
   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.

    DESCRIPTION
        "The MIB module for managing remote monitoring
         device implementations.  This MIB module
         extends the architecture introduced in the original
         RMON MIB as specified in RFC 2819.

         Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006).  This version of
         this MIB module is part of RFC 4502;  see the RFC itself for
         full legal notices."

    REVISION "200605020000Z"    -- May 2, 2006
    DESCRIPTION
        "This version updates the proposed-standard version of the
        RMON2 MIB (published as RFC 2021) by adding 2 new
        enumerations to the nlMatrixTopNControlRateBase object and
        4 new enumerations to the alMatrixTopNControlRateBase object.
        These new enumerations support the creation of high-capacity
        topN reports in the High Capacity RMON MIB [RFC3273].

        Additionally, the following objects have been deprecated, as
        they have not had enough independent implementations to
        demonstrate interoperability to meet the requirements of a
        Draft Standard:

        In addition, two corrections were made.  The LastCreateTime
        Textual Convention had been defined with a base type of
        another textual convention, which isn't allowed in SMIv2.  The
        definition has been modified to use TimeTicks as the base
        type.

        Further, the SerialConfigEntry SEQUENCE definition included
        sub-typing information that is not allowed in SMIv2.  This
        information has been deleted.  Ranges were added to a number of
        objects and textual-conventions to constrain their maximum
        (and sometimes minimum) sizes.  The addition of these ranges
        documents existing practice for these objects.  These objects

-- Textual Conventions

ZeroBasedCounter32 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This TC describes an object that counts events with the
        following semantics: objects of this type will be set to
        zero(0) on creation and will thereafter count appropriate
        events, wrapping back to zero(0) when the value 2^32 is
        reached.

        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
        constantly changing and/or the TimeFilter mechanism is in use."
    SYNTAX Gauge32

LastCreateTime ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This TC describes an object that stores the value of the
        sysUpTime object at the last time its entry was created.

        This can be used for polling applications to determine that an
        entry has been deleted and re-created between polls, causing
        an otherwise undetectable discontinuity in the data.

        If sysUpTime is reset to zero as a result of a re-
        initialization of the network management (sub)system, then
        the values of all LastCreateTime objects are also reset.
        However, after approximately 497 days without a re-
        initialization, the sysUpTime object will reach 2^^32-1 and
        then increment to zero; in this case, existing values
        of TimeStamp objects do not change.  This can lead to
        ambiguities in the value of TimeStamp objects."
    SYNTAX TimeTicks

TimeFilter ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
  STATUS        current
  DESCRIPTION
      "To be used for the index to a table.  Allows an application
      to download only those rows changed since a particular time.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                    [Page 15]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

      Note that this is not a history mechanism.  Only current values
      of underlying objects are returned; saved instance values
      associated with particular values of sysUpTime are not.

      An entry is considered changed if the value of any object in the
      entry changes, if the row is created, or if any object in the
      entry is created or deleted.  Note that deleted entries cannot
      be detected or downloaded.

      A time-filtered conceptual table is created by inserting a
      single object of SYNTAX TimeFilter as the first INDEX component
      in a copy of an existing basic conceptual table (i.e., any
      SEQUENCE without a TimeFilter INDEX component).  Thus, for
      each conceptual entry 'I' in the basic table, there exists N
      conceptual entries in the time-filtered version, indexed N.I,
      where 'N' is equal to the value of sysUpTime.

      When an application retrieves conceptual instances from a
      time-filtered table, and an INDEX value is provided for the
      TimeFilter INDEX component 'N', the agent will only consider
      returning basic conceptual entries (e.g., 'fooColumn.N.I') if
      any column within the basic conceptual entry has changed since
      sysUpTime 'N'.  If not, the basic conceptual entry will
      be ignored for the particular retrieval operation.

      When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.

      One conceptual entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime,
      except that the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.

      As an entry in a time-filtered table is updated (i.e., one of
      the columns in the basic conceptual table is changed), new
      conceptual entries are also created in the time-filtered version
      (which still shares the now updated object values with all other
      instances).  The number of unique time-filtered instances that
      are created is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the
      basic entry was last updated.  One unique instance will exist
      for each value of sysUpTime at the last update time for the row.
      However, a new TimeFilter index instance is created for each new
      sysUpTime value.  The TimeFilter index values not associated
      with entry updates are called duplicate time-filtered instances.

      After some deployment experience, it has been determined that
      a time-filtered table is more efficient if the agent
      stops a MIB walk operation by skipping over rows with a
      TimeFilter index value higher than the value in the received
      GetNext/GetBulk request.  That is, instead of incrementing a
      TimeFilter index value, the agent will continue to the next

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                    [Page 16]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

      object or table.  As a consequence, GetNext or GetBulk
      operations will provide only one pass through a time-filtered
      table.

      It is suggested that an agent implement a time-filtered table
      in this manner to improve performance and avoid a MIB walk
      getting stuck in time-filtered tables.  It is, however, still
      acceptable for an agent to implement a time-filtered table in
      the traditional manner (i.e., every conceptual time-filtered
      instance is returned in GetNext and GetBulk PDU responses), and
      management applications must be able to deal with such
      traditional implementations.

      See the appendix for further discussion of this textual
      convention.

      The following example is provided to demonstrate TimeFilter
      behavior:

      Consider the following basic conceptual table, basicFooTable.
      (Note that the basic version of a time-filtered table may not
      actually be defined.)

          basicFooTable:

          basicFooTable ...
          INDEX { fooIndex }

          BasicFooEntry {
             fooIndex     Integer32,
             fooCounts    Counter32
          }

      For this example, the basicFooTable contains two static
      conceptual entries (fooIndex equals '1' and '2'), created at
      time zero.  It also contains one dynamic conceptual entry
      (fooIndex equals '3'), which is created at time '3' and deleted
      at time '7'.

      The time-filtered version of the basicFooTable could be defined
      as follows:

          FooTable:

          fooTable ...
          INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIndex }

          FooEntry {

RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

             fooTimeMark  TimeFilter,
             fooIndex     Integer32,
             fooCounts    Counter32
          }

      Note that entries exist in the time-filtered conceptual table
      only if they actually exist in the underlying (basic) table.

      For this example, the fooTable will have three underlying
      basic entries (fooIndex == 1, 2, and 3), with the following
      activity (for sysUpTime equal 0 to 9):

         - fooEntry.N.1 is created at time '0' and most recently
           updated at time '6' to the value '5'.
         - fooEntry.N.2 is created at time '0' and most recently
           updated at time '8' to the value '9'.
         - fooEntry.N.3 is created at time '3', updated at time '5'
           to the value '17', and deleted at time '7'.

     The following tables show the values that would be returned for
     MIB walk operations with various TimeFilter values, done at
     different times.  An application issues a retrieval request at
     time 'T', with a TimeFilter value, 'N' (typically set to a lower
     value, such as the value of sysUpTime at the last polling cycle).

     The following values would be returned in a MIB walk of
     fooCounts.N if T equals '0' and N equals '0':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           ==========================
           fooCounts.0.1    0
           fooCounts.0.2    0

       Note that nothing is returned for fooCounts.0.3, since that
       entry does not exist at sysUpTime equals '0'.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional) MIB
     walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '3' and N equals '0':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.0.1    0
           fooCounts.0.2    0
           fooCounts.0.3    0
           fooCounts.1.3    0
           fooCounts.2.3    0
           fooCounts.3.3    0

       Note that there are no instances for T equals 1 or 2 for the
       first two values of N, as these entries did not change
       since they were created at time '0'.

       Note that the current value for 'fooCounts.N.3' is returned
       here, even for values of N less than '3' (when the entry was
       created).  The agent only considers the current existence of an
       entry in the TimeFilter algorithm, not the time when the entry
       was created.

       Note that the instances 'fooCounts.0.3', 'fooCounts.1.3',
       and 'fooCounts.2.3' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the
       agent in a MIB walk.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional)
     MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '6' and N equals '3':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.3.1    5
           fooCounts.3.3    17

           fooCounts.5.1    5
           fooCounts.5.3    17
           fooCounts.6.1    5

        Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.2' are returned,
        since it has not changed since time '3'.

        Note that all instances except 'fooCounts.5.3' and
        'fooCounts.6.1' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the
        agent in a MIB walk.

     The following values would be returned in a full (traditional)
     MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '9' and N equals '6':

           fooCounts.N.I    Value
           =======================
           fooCounts.6.1    5

           fooCounts.7.2    9
           fooCounts.8.2    9

        Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.3' are returned,

        can often be used as specifications for new protocols - i.e.,
        a tree-structured assignment mechanism that matches the
        protocol encapsulation 'tree' and that has algorithmic
        assignment mechanisms for certain subtrees.  See RFC 2074 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
        possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
        the fly when it sees them.  Whether 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."

         A probe administrator or user may also populate additional
         children via remote SNMP requests that create entries in this

         probe has no built-in support extending a parent node (for
         which the probe does have built-in support),
         that child node is not extendable.  This is termed 'limited

         When a child node is added through this extensibility
         mechanism, the values of protocolDirLocalIndex and

         to recognize packets of a particular network-layer protocol

         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

-- 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

-- A sample value is stored in two objects - an absolute value and

        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 store 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
               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, i.e.,
               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

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.

   The usrHistoryGroup periodically samples the values of user-specified
   variables on the probe and stores them in another table.  Since the
   access-control specified for a stored snapshot may be different from
   the access-control for the sampled variable, the agent MUST ensure
   that usrHistoryObjectVariable is not writable in MIB views that don't
   already have read access to the entire agent.  Because the access
   control configuration can change over time, information could later
   be deemed sensitive that would still be accessible to this function.
   For this reason, an agent SHOULD check the access control on every
   sample.  If an agent doesn't implement the latter check, there is
   potential for sensitive information to be revealed.

   A probe implementing this MIB is likely to also implement RMON
   [RFC2819], 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.

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
   have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.

   Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
   MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to
   control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
   to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
   the network via SNMP.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
   even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
   allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
   in this MIB module.

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                   [Page 130]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
   rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.

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, by retrieving
   only the rows that have changed since a specified time (usually the
   last poll time).  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', and either it is skipped for
   GetNext and GetBulk PDUs, or a 'noSuchInstance' exception is returned
   for Get PDUs.

   For TimeFilter purposes:

      -  a row is created when an accessible column is created within
         the row.

      -  a column that is created or deleted causes the TimeFilter to
         update the time-stamp, only because the value of the column is
         changing (non-existent <-> some value).

      -  a row is deleted when all accessible columns are deleted.  This
         event is not detectable with TimeFilter, and deleted rows are
         not retrievable with SNMP.

   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,

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                   [Page 132]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

      *  the TimeFilter value passed in the varbind, and

      *  the last-update timestamp of each requested row (agent
         implementation requirement).

   For example, to implement a time-filtered table row (e.g., set of
   counters), 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 set of counters.

   Each time one of the counters 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.

   When an agent receives a Get, GetNext, or GetBulk PDU requesting a
   time-filtered instance, after the agent has determined that the
   instance is within the specified MIB view, the following conceptual
   test is applied to determine if the object is returned or filtered:

      /* 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., a conceptual row is deleted and
   then re-created later).  An agent should consider an 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 'present'
   according to the test above.

   After some deployment experience, it has been determined that a
   time-filtered table is more efficient to use if the agent stops a MIB
   walk operation after one time-filtered entry.  That is, a GetNext or
   GetBulk operation will provide one pass through a given table (i.e.,

Waldbusser                  Standards Track                   [Page 133]



RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   the agent will continue to the next object or table) instead of
   incrementing a TimeMark INDEX value, even if there exist higher
   TimeMark values that are valid for the same conceptual row.

   It is acceptable for an agent to implement a time-filtered table in
   this manner or in the traditional manner (i.e., every conceptual
   time-filtered instance is returned in GetNext and GetBulk PDU
   responses).

   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.

   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 from 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 weren'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.  Either the current time-filtered

RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

   object-value is returned, or, if there is no time-filtered object-
   value instance, then a 'noSuchInstance' exception (SNMPv2c or SNMPv3)
   or 'noSuchName' error (SNMPv1) is returned.

   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 when the NMS has
   been up for 10 seconds.

   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);

9.  Changes since RFC 2021

   This version obsoletes the proposed-standard version of the RMON2 MIB
   (published as RFC 2021) by adding 2 new enumerations to the
   nlMatrixTopNControlRateBase object and 4 new enumerations to the
   alMatrixTopNControlRateBase object.  These new enumerations support
   the creation of high capacity top N reports in the High Capacity RMON
   MIB [RFC3273].

   Additionally, the following objects have been deprecated, as they
   have not had enough independent implementations to demonstrate
   interoperability to meet the requirements of a Draft Standard:

      probeDownloadFile
      probeDownloadTFTPServer
      probeDownloadAction
      probeDownloadStatus
      serialMode
      serialProtocol
      serialTimeout
      serialModemInitString
      serialModemHangUpString
      serialModemConnectResp
      serialModemNoConnectResp
      serialDialoutTimeout
      serialStatus
      serialConnectDestIpAddress
      serialConnectType
      serialConnectDialString
      serialConnectSwitchConnectSeq
      serialConnectSwitchDisconnectSeq
      serialConnectSwitchResetSeq
      serialConnectOwner
      serialConnectStatus
      netConfigIPAddress
      netConfigSubnetMask
      netConfigStatus
      netDefaultGateway
      tokenRingMLStats2DroppedFrames
      tokenRingMLStats2CreateTime
      tokenRingPStats2DroppedFrames

RFC 4502             Remote Network Monitoring MIB              May 2006

      tokenRingPStats2CreateTime
      ringStationControl2DroppedFrames
      ringStationControl2CreateTime
      sourceRoutingStats2DroppedFrames
      sourceRoutingStats2CreateTime
      trapDestIndex
      trapDestCommunity
      trapDestProtocol
      trapDestAddress
      trapDestOwner
      trapDestStatus

   In addition, two corrections were made.  The LastCreateTime Textual
   Convention had been defined with a base type of another textual
   convention, which isn't allowed in SMIv2.  The definition has been
   modified to use TimeTicks as the base type.

   Further, the SerialConfigEntry SEQUENCE definition included sub-
   typing information that is not allowed in SMIv2.  This information
   has been deleted.  Ranges were added to a number of objects and
   textual-conventions to constrain their maximum (and sometimes
   minimum) sizes.  The addition of these ranges documents existing
   practice for these objects.  These objects are:

      ControlString
      protocolDirID
      protocolDirParameters
      addressMapNetworkAddress
      nlHostAddress
      nlMatrixSDSourceAddress
      nlMatrixSDDestAddress
      nlMatrixDSSourceAddress
      nlMatrixDSDestAddress
      nlMatrixTopNSourceAddress
      nlMatrixTopNDestAddress
      alHostEntry
      alMatrixSDEntry
      alMatrixDSEntry
      alMatrixTopNSourceAddress
      alMatrixTopNDestAddress

   Finally, the TimeFilter TC has been updated to encourage agent
   implementations that allow a MIB walk to behave well even when
   performed by an application that is not aware of the special
   TimeFilter semantics.
