CISCO-SNAPSHOT-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.

-- Snapshot routing provides easy solutions to two common problems:
-- 
--   1) The need to configure static routes for Dial on Demand Routing (DDR)
--      interfaces.
-- 
--   2) The overhead of periodic updates for routing protocols to remote 
--	branch offices over dedicated serial lines.
-- 
-- When snapshot routing is configured on an interface, it first allows
-- normal routing updates to be sent across the interface for a short
-- period of time. After this user configured period of activity, the
-- routing updates are suspended, and the routes learned on the snapshot
-- interface are 'frozen' in place, putting the interface into a 'frozen
-- period', again user configurable. During this 'frozen' time, changes
-- in network topology are typically not transmitted across the snapshot
-- interface, although some network protocols provide the capability to
-- transmit changes.
-- 
-- The factors to consider in choosing to enable snapshot routing to an
-- interface are:
-- 
--   1) The importance of obtaining quick notification of changes in the
--      network topology at a remote site.
--   2) Whether or not you are using Dial on Demand routing from a remote
--      site to reach a central site or using a dedicated serial link.
-- 
-- If you are using a dedicated serial link, and wish to have
-- up-to-the-minute topology information at a remote site, then snapshot
-- routing is probably not appropriate for you. If, however, the network
-- topology changes less frequently, or if full connectivity to all
-- locations is not important to you, then snapshot routing (with
-- possibly, a few static routes to 'key' remote locations that should
-- always be available) will probably meet your needs well.
-- 
-- If you are using dial on demand routing (DDR), then Snapshot routing
-- is almost certainly an advantage. Before Snapshot routing, all
-- 'desired' destinations needed to be configured with static routes.
-- With Snapshot routing, it is possible to learn the set of remote
-- routes dynamically, and then keep them available while the link is
-- down, avoiding the configuration of any static routes. Again, if there
-- are 'crucial' locations that must always be in the table, it may be
-- best to configure them statically, to ensure constant availability, in
-- case the desired location was temporarily down when the Snapshot route
-- sharing activity was taking place.
-- 
-- Snapshot routing is configured on a 'client/server' basis. One router
-- on the interface is chosen as the 'client' router, and it determines
-- active route-exchange and 'sleeping' times.
