TRANSPORT-ADDRESS-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.

         The usage of this textual convention implies that additional
         transport domains can only be supported by updating this MIB
         module. This extensibility restriction does not apply for the
         TransportDomain textual convention which allows MIB authors

TransportAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Denotes a generic transport address.

         A TransportAddress value is always interpreted within the
         context of a TransportAddressType or TransportDomain value.
         Every usage of the TransportAddress textual convention MUST

         specify the TransportAddressType or TransportDomain object
         which provides the context. Furthermore, MIB authors SHOULD
         define a separate TransportAddressType or TransportDomain
         object for each TransportAddress object. It is suggested that
         the TransportAddressType or TransportDomain is logically
         registered before the object(s) which use the
         TransportAddress textual convention if they appear in the
         same logical row.

         The value of a TransportAddress object must always be
         consistent with the value of the associated
         TransportAddressType or TransportDomain object. Attempts
         to set a TransportAddress object to a value which is
         inconsistent with the associated TransportAddressType or
         TransportDomain must fail with an inconsistentValue error.

         When this textual convention is used as a syntax of an
         index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
         sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case,
         the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause
         to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers."
