Notes
• Organization model
• Same as OSI model
• Information model
• Same as OSI, but scalar

•Communication model
• Messages less complex than OSI
and unidirectional (request, response)
• Transfer structure (PDU)
• Functional model
• Application functions in terms of
• Operations (get, set)
• Administration – who has access to what
• Security – community-based

Chapter 3

Organization Model
• Manager
• Manages the managed elements
• Sends requests to agents, retrieves
management information & stores it in MDB
• Monitors alarms – unsolicited
traps/notifications from agents
• Houses applications, e.g., CM, FM, etc.
• Provides user interface, e.g., HPOpenview
• Agent
• Gathers information from objects – get
• Configures parameters of objects – set
• Responds to managers’ requests –
response
• Generates alarms and sends them to
managers (unsolicited) – trap
• Managed object
• Network element that is managed, e.g.,
hubs, bridges, etc.
• Houses management agent – process
running

• All objects are either not managed or
manageable (more expensive)

Two-Tier Model

Managed objects
Unmanaged objects
MDB Management Database
Agent process
Figure 3.2 Two-Tier Network Mangement Organization Model

Notes
• Agent built into network element
Example: Managed hub, managed router
• A manager can manage multiple elements
Example: Switched hub, ATM switch
• MDB is a physical database
• Unmanaged objects are network elements
that are not managed - both physical (unmanaged

hub) and logical (passive elements)

Notes
• Middle layer plays the dual role
• Agent to the top-level manager
• Manager to the managed objects - e.g., collects data
• Example of middle level: Remote monitoring

agent (RMON)
• Examples:
• Statistical measurement on a network
• Local site passes information to a remote site

• MoM presents integrated view of domains
• Domain may be geographical (cities), administrative
(departments), vendor-specific products (Cisco), etc.

Notes
• NMSs configured in a peer-to-peer relationship
• Network management system acts as peers
• Dual role of both NMSs
• Example: Two network service providers exchange
Management information
• Dumbbell architecture discussed in Chapter 1
• Notice that the manager and agent functions are
processes and not systems

Chapter 3

Information Model:
Analogy
• Information model – Structure & storage of information
• Figure in a book uniquely identified by
• ISBN, Chapter, and Figure number in that
hierarchical order
• ID: {ISBN, chapter, figure} – Hierarchy of designation
• The three elements above define the syntax – format
• Semantics is the meaning of the three
entities according to Webster’s dictionary
• The information comprises syntax and semantics
about an object

Notes
• Management information model =
objects representation (SMI) +
management information of objects (MIB)
• SMI defines the syntax & semantics of management
information stored in the MIB
• Information model specifies the information base to
describe managed objects and their relationships
(i.e., MIB)


15

Network Management: Principles and Practice

Chapter 3

Structure of Management Information
(SMI)
• SMI defines for a managed object:
• Syntax
• Semantics – i.e., definition
• plus additional information such as status
• Example
sysDescr:
{ system 1 }
Syntax:
OCTET STRING
Definition: "A textual description of the entity. "
Access:
read-only
Status:
mandatory

Notes
• Uses ASN.1: Abstract Syntax Notation One
• See RFC 1155:
• Section 4. Managed objects

• Section 4.3. Macros

16

Chapter 3

Management Information Base (MIB)
• Used by manager & agents to store & exchange
management information
• Information base contains information about objects
• Organized by grouping of related objects (e.g., IP group)
• Defines relationship between objects (e.g., object system
is a parent of object sysDescr)
• It is NOT a physical database. It is a virtual
database that is compiled into management module

Notes
• The agent MIB is used for accessing local information
requested by the manager, and sending a response back
• The manager MIB is used for accessing information
on all network components the manager manages.
• See RFC 1213

Chapter 3

Information Base View: An Analogy
• Fulton County library system has many branches
• Each branch has a set of books
• The books in each branch is a different set
• The information base of the county has the
view (catalog) of all books
• The information base of each branch has the
catalog of books that belong to that branch.
That is, each branch has its view (catalog) of
the information base
• Let us apply this to MIB view

Notes

Chapter 3

MIB View and Access of an Object
• A managed object has many attributes - its
information base (e.g., IPAddress, # of ports)

• There are several operations that can be
performed on the objects (get, set)
• A user (manager) can view and perform only
certain operations on the object by invoking
the management agent – privileges depends on
the user and the managed object
• The view of the object attributes that the agent
perceives is the MIB view
• The operation that a user can perform is the
MIB access

Figure 3.6 Network Configuration with Data and Information Base

Notes
• Distinction between MDB and MIB
• MDB physical database; e.g.. Oracle, Sybase
• MIB virtual database; schema compiled into
management software (for processes to
exchange information)
• An NMS can automatically discover a managed
object, such as a hub, when added to the network
• The NMS can identify the new object as hub only
after the MIB schema of the hub is compiled into
NMS software

Chapter 3

Managed Object
• Managed objects can be
• Network elements (hardware, system)
• hubs, bridges, routers, transmission facilities
• Software (non-physical)

• programs, algorithms
• Administrative information
• contact person, name of group of objects
(IP group)

Notes
• In fact, any type of info that can be included in the
MIB can be managed.

Object Type and Instance
• Type
• Name
• Syntax
• Definition
• Status
• Access
• Instance


Notes
• Example of a circle
• “circle” is syntax
• Semantics is definition from dictionary
“A plane figure bounded by a single curved
line, every point of which is of equal distance
from the center of the figure.”
• Analogy of nursery school
