SNMP-TARGET-MIB: View SNMP OID List / Download MIB

This MIB module defines MIB objects which provide mechanisms to remotely configure the parameters used by an SNMP entity for the generation of SNMP messages. Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2002). This version of this MIB module is part of RFC 3413; see the RFC itself for full legal notices.

This object is used to facilitate modification of table entries in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB module by multiple managers. In particular, it is useful when modifying the value of the snmpTargetAddrTagList object. The procedure for modifying the snmpTargetAddrTagList object is as follows: 1. Retrieve the value of snmpTargetSpinLock and of snmpTargetAddrTagList. 2. Generate a new value for snmpTargetAddrTagList. 3. Set the value of snmpTargetSpinLock to the retrieved value, and the value of snmpTargetAddrTagList to the new value. If the set fails for the snmpTargetSpinLock object, go back to step 1.

A table of transport addresses to be used in the generation of SNMP messages.

A transport address to be used in the generation of SNMP operations. Entries in the snmpTargetAddrTable are created and deleted using the snmpTargetAddrRowStatus object.

The locally arbitrary, but unique identifier associated with this snmpTargetAddrEntry.

This object indicates the transport type of the address contained in the snmpTargetAddrTAddress object.

This object contains a transport address. The format of this address depends on the value of the snmpTargetAddrTDomain object.

This object should reflect the expected maximum round trip time for communicating with the transport address defined by this row. When a message is sent to this address, and a response (if one is expected) is not received within this time period, an implementation may assume that the response will not be delivered. Note that the time interval that an application waits for a response may actually be derived from the value of this object. The method for deriving the actual time interval is implementation dependent. One such method is to derive the expected round trip time based on a particular retransmission algorithm and on the number of timeouts which have occurred. The type of message may also be considered when deriving expected round trip times for retransmissions. For example, if a message is being sent with a securityLevel that indicates both authentication and privacy, the derived value may be increased to compensate for extra processing time spent during authentication and encryption processing.

This object specifies a default number of retries to be attempted when a response is not received for a generated message. An application may provide its own retry count, in which case the value of this object is ignored.

This object contains a list of tag values which are used to select target addresses for a particular operation.

The value of this object identifies an entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable. The identified entry contains SNMP parameters to be used when generating messages to be sent to this transport address.

The storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.

The status of this conceptual row. To create a row in this table, a manager must set this object to either createAndGo(4) or createAndWait(5). Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the snmpTargetAddrRowStatus column is 'notReady'. In particular, a newly created row cannot be made active until the corresponding instances of snmpTargetAddrTDomain, snmpTargetAddrTAddress, and snmpTargetAddrParams have all been set. The following objects may not be modified while the value of this object is active(1): - snmpTargetAddrTDomain - snmpTargetAddrTAddress An attempt to set these objects while the value of snmpTargetAddrRowStatus is active(1) will result in an inconsistentValue error.

A table of SNMP target information to be used in the generation of SNMP messages.

A set of SNMP target information. Entries in the snmpTargetParamsTable are created and deleted using the snmpTargetParamsRowStatus object.

The locally arbitrary, but unique identifier associated with this snmpTargetParamsEntry.

The Message Processing Model to be used when generating SNMP messages using this entry.

The Security Model to be used when generating SNMP messages using this entry. An implementation may choose to return an inconsistentValue error if an attempt is made to set this variable to a value for a security model which the implementation does not support.

The securityName which identifies the Principal on whose behalf SNMP messages will be generated using this entry.

The Level of Security to be used when generating SNMP messages using this entry.

The storage type for this conceptual row. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row.

The status of this conceptual row. To create a row in this table, a manager must set this object to either createAndGo(4) or createAndWait(5). Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the snmpTargetParamsRowStatus column is 'notReady'. In particular, a newly created row cannot be made active until the corresponding snmpTargetParamsMPModel, snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel, snmpTargetParamsSecurityName, and snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel have all been set. The following objects may not be modified while the value of this object is active(1): - snmpTargetParamsMPModel - snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel - snmpTargetParamsSecurityName - snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel An attempt to set these objects while the value of snmpTargetParamsRowStatus is active(1) will result in an inconsistentValue error.

The total number of packets received by the SNMP engine which were dropped because the context contained in the message was unavailable.

The total number of packets received by the SNMP engine which were dropped because the context contained in the message was unknown.

The compliance statement for SNMP entities which include a command responder application.

A collection of objects providing basic remote configuration of management targets.

A collection of objects providing remote configuration of management targets for applications which generate SNMP messages for which a response message would be expected.

A collection of objects required for command responder applications, used for counting error conditions.
