Administrative Model Based on community profile and policy SNMP Entities: SNMP application entities - Reside in management stations and network elements - Manager and agent SNMP protocol entities - Communication processes (PDU handlers) - Peer processes that support application entities

SNMP Community Security in SNMPv1 is community-based Authentication scheme in manager and agent Community: Pairing of two application entities Community name: String of octets Two applications in the same community communicate with each other Application could have multiple community names Communication is not secured in SNMPv1 - no encryption

SNMP Community Community Relationship between an Agent and Managers. Community Name Used to validate the SNMP messages. Password SNMP Password. Default Get community name: public. Authentication Failure Agent sends Authentication Failure Trap to Manager.

SNMP Community

Community Profile MIB view An agent is programmed to view only a subset of managed objects of a network element Access mode Each community name is assigned an access mode:: read-only and read-write Community profile = MIB view + access mode Operations on an object determined by community profile and the access mode of the object Total of four access privileges Some objects, such as table and table entry are non-accessible

Community Profile

Access Policy Administration model is SNMP access policy SNMP community paired with SNMP community profile is SNMP access policy

Protocol Entities Protocol entities support application entities Communication between remote peer processes Message consists of Version identifier Community name Protocol Data Unit Message encapsulated and transmitted

SNMP Message Version Identifier Community Name Protocol Data Unit The length of SNMP messages should not exceed 484 octets. Message ::= SEQUENCE { versionINTEGER {version-1(0)}, communityOCTET STRING, data ANY } Version Community SNMP PDU

SNMP PDUs

SNMP PDU PDU ::= SEQUENCE { request-id INTEGER, error-status INTEGER { noError(0), tooBig(1), noSuchName(2), badValue(3), readOnly(4) genErr(5)}, error-index INTEGER, variable-bindings SEQUENCE OF { nameObjectName, valueObjectSyntax } GetRquest : GetNextRequest : GetResponse : SetRequest : Trap : [0] PDU [1] PDU [2] PDU [3] PDU [4] Trap-PDU Five SNMP PDUs: PDU: Protocol Data Unit
