CISCO-PING-MIB by vendor Cisco

CISCO-PING-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

        DESCRIPTION
                "A ping request entry.

                A management station wishing to create an entry should
                first generate a pseudo-random serial number to be used
                as the index to this sparse table.  The station should
                then create the associated instance of the row status
                and row owner objects.  It must also, either in the same
                or in successive PDUs, create the associated instance of
                the protocol and address objects.  It should also modify
                the default values for the other configuration objects
                if the defaults are not appropriate.

                Once the appropriate instance of all the configuration
                objects have been created, either by an explicit SNMP
                set request or by default, the row status should be set
                to active to initiate the request.  Note that this entire
                procedure may be initiated via a single set request which
                specifies a row status of createAndGo as well as specifies
                valid values for the non-defaulted configuration objects.

                Once the ping sequence has been activated, it cannot be
                stopped -- it will run until the configured number of
                packets have been sent.

                Once the sequence completes, the management station should
                retrieve the values of the status objects of interest, and
                should then delete the entry.  In order to prevent old
                entries from clogging the table, entries will be aged out,
                but an entry will never be deleted within 5 minutes of
                completing."
