Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
In particular, it defines objects for managing remote network
monitoring devices.
This memo obsoletes RFC 1757. This memo extends that specification by
documenting the RMON MIB in SMIv2 format while remaining semantically
identical to the existing SMIv1-based MIB.

1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], RFC 2579 [6] and RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [22].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.
2. Overview
Remote network monitoring devices, often called monitors or probes,
are instruments that exist for the purpose of managing a network.
Often these remote probes are stand-alone devices and devote
significant internal resources for the sole purpose of managing a
network. An organization may employ many of these devices, one per
network segment, to manage its internet. In addition, these devices
may be used for a network management service provider to access a
client network, often geographically remote.
The objects defined in this document are intended as an interface
between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are not
intended for direct manipulation by humans. While some users may
tolerate the direct display of some of these objects, few will
tolerate the complexity of manually manipulating objects to
accomplish row creation. These functions should be handled by the
management application.
While most of the objects in this document are suitable for the
management of any type of network, there are some which are specific
to managing Ethernet networks. These are the objects in the
etherStatsTable, the etherHistoryTable, and some attributes of the
filterPktStatus and capturBufferPacketStatus objects. The design of
this MIB allows similar objects to be defined for other network
types. It is intended that future versions of this document and
additional documents will define extensions for other network types.
There are a number of companion documents to the RMON MIB. The Token
Ring RMON MIB [19] provides objects specific to managing Token Ring
networks. The RMON-2 MIB [20] extends RMON by providing RMON analysis
up to the application layer. The SMON MIB [21] extends RMON by
providing RMON analysis for switched networks.
2.1. Remote Network Management Goals
o Offline Operation
There are sometimes conditions when a management station will
not be in constant contact with its remote monitoring devices.
This is sometimes by design in an attempt to lower
communications costs (especially when communicating over a WAN
or dialup link), or by accident as network failures affect the
communications between the management station and the probe.
For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be configured to
perform diagnostics and to collect statistics continuously, even
when communication with the management station may not be
possible or efficient. The probe may then attempt to notify the
management station when an exceptional condition occurs. Thus,
even in circumstances where communication between management
station and probe is not continuous, fault, performance, and
configuration information may be continuously accumulated and
communicated to the management station conveniently and
efficiently.
o Proactive Monitoring
Given the resources available on the monitor, it is potentially
helpful for it continuously to run diagnostics and to log
network performance. The monitor is always available at the
onset of any failure. It can notify the management station of
the failure and can store historical statistical information
about the failure. This historical information can be played
back by the management station in an attempt to perform further
diagnosis into the cause of the problem.
o Problem Detection and Reporting
The monitor can be configured to recognize conditions, most
notably error conditions, and continuously to check for them.
When one of these conditions occurs, the event may be logged,
and management stations may be notified in a number of ways.
o Value Added Data
Because a remote monitoring device represents a network resource
dedicated exclusively to network management functions, and
because it is located directly on the monitored portion of the
network, the remote network monitoring device has the
opportunity to add significant value to the data it collects.
For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the network that
generate the most traffic or errors, the probe can give the
management station precisely the information it needs to solve a
class of problems.
o Multiple Managers
An organization may have multiple management stations for
different units of the organization, for different functions
(e.g. engineering and operations), and in an attempt to provide
disaster recovery. Because environments with multiple
management stations are common, the remote network monitoring
device has to deal with more than own management station,
potentially using its resources concurrently.
2.2. Textual Conventions
Two new data types are introduced as a textual convention in this MIB
document, OwnerString and EntryStatus.
2.3. Structure of MIB
The objects are arranged into the following groups:
- ethernet statistics
- history control
- ethernet history
- alarm
- host
- hostTopN
- matrix
- filter
- packet capture
- event
These groups are the basic unit of conformance. If a remote
monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all
objects in that group. For example, a managed agent that implements
the host group must implement the hostControlTable, the hostTable and
the hostTimeTable. While this section provides an overview of
grouping and conformance information for this MIB, the authoritative
reference for such information is contained in the MODULE-COMPLIANCE
and OBJECT-GROUP macros later in this MIB.
All groups in this MIB are optional. Implementations of this MIB
must also implement the system group of MIB-II [16] and the IF-MIB
[17]. MIB-II may also mandate the implementation of additional
groups.
These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object
identifiers, and to provide a method for implementors of managed
agents to know which objects they must implement.
2.3.1. The Ethernet Statistics Group
The ethernet statistics group contains statistics measured by the
probe for each monitored Ethernet interface on this device. This
group consists of the etherStatsTable.
2.3.2. The History Control Group
The history control group controls the periodic statistical sampling
of data from various types of networks. This group consists of the
historyControlTable.
2.3.3. The Ethernet History Group
The ethernet history group records periodic statistical samples from
an ethernet network and stores them for later retrieval. This group
consists of the etherHistoryTable.
2.3.4. The Alarm Group
The alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from variables
in the probe and compares them to previously configured thresholds.
If the monitored variable crosses a threshold, an event is generated.
A hysteresis mechanism is implemented to limit the generation of
alarms. This group consists of the alarmTable and requires the
implementation of the event group.
2.3.5. The Host Group
The host group contains statistics associated with each host
discovered on the network. This group discovers hosts on the network
by keeping a list of source and destination MAC Addresses seen in
good packets promiscuously received from the network. This group
consists of the hostControlTable, the hostTable, and the
hostTimeTable.
2.3.6. The HostTopN Group
The hostTopN group is used to prepare reports that describe the hosts
that top a list ordered by one of their statistics. The available
statistics are samples of one of their base statistics over an
interval specified by the management station. Thus, these statistics
are rate based. The management station also selects how many such
hosts are reported. This group consists of the hostTopNControlTable
and the hostTopNTable, and requires the implementation of the host
group.
2.3.7. The Matrix Group
The matrix group stores statistics for conversations between sets of
two addresses. As the device detects a new conversation, it creates
a new entry in its tables. This group consists of the
matrixControlTable, the matrixSDTable and the matrixDSTable.
2.3.8. The Filter Group
The filter group allows packets to be matched by a filter equation.
These matched packets form a data stream that may be captured or may
generate events. This group consists of the filterTable and the
channelTable.
2.3.9. The Packet Capture Group
The Packet Capture group allows packets to be captured after they
flow through a channel. This group consists of the
bufferControlTable and the captureBufferTable, and requires the
implementation of the filter group.
2.3.10. The Event Group
The event group controls the generation and notification of events
from this device. This group consists of the eventTable and the
logTable.
3. Control of Remote Network Monitoring Devices
Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these
devices, the functions often need user configuration. In many cases,
the function requires parameters to be set up for a data collection
operation. The operation can proceed only after these parameters are
fully set up.
Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which
to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to
place the results of the operation. The control tables are typically
read-write in nature, while the data tables are typically read-only.
Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting
data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only
when the control entry is invalid. Thus, the method for modifying
these parameters is to invalidate the control entry, causing its
deletion and the deletion of any associated data entries, and then
create a new control entry with the proper parameters. Deleting the
control entry also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the
resources used by the associated data.
Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on
the remote monitoring device. These objects may execute an action as
a result of a change in the state of the object. For those objects
in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it
currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.
To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be
shared among the managers. These resources are typically the memory
and computation resources that a function requires.
3.1. Resource Sharing Among Multiple Management Stations
When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete
for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate
this sharing of resources is required. Potential conflicts include:
o Two management stations wish to simultaneously use resources
that together would exceed the capability of the device.
o A management station uses a significant amount of resources for
a long period of time.
o A management station uses resources and then crashes,
forgetting to free the resources so others may use them.
A mechanism is provided for each management station initiated
function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help resolve
them when they occur. Each function has a label identifying the
initiator (owner) of the function. This label is set by the
initiator to provide for the following possibilities:
o A management station may recognize resources it owns and no
longer needs.
o A network operator can find the management station that owns
the resource and negotiate for it to be freed.
o A network operator may decide to unilaterally free resources
another network operator has reserved.
o Upon initialization, a management station may recognize
resources it had reserved in the past. With this information
it may free the resources if it no longer needs them.
Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner
string dictated by the local policy of the organization. It is
suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP
address, management station name, network manager's name, location,
or phone number. This information will help users to share the
resources more effectively.
There is often default functionality that the device or the
administrator of the probe (often the network administrator) wishes
to set up. The resources associated with this functionality are then
owned by the device itself or by the network administrator, and are
intended to be long-lived. In this case, the device or the
administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting
with 'monitor'. Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned
configuration by network management stations is discouraged. In
fact, a network management station should only modify these objects
under the direction of the administrator of the probe.
Resources on a probe are scarce and are typically allocated when
control rows are created by an application. Since many applications
may be using a probe simultaneously, indiscriminate allocation of
resources to particular applications is very likely to cause resource
shortages in the probe.
When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a
monitor, it is encouraged to first scan the control table of that
function to find an instance with similar parameters to share. This
is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which
can be assumed to change infrequently. If a management station
decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it
should understand that the management station that owns the instance
may indiscriminately modify or delete it.
It should be noted that a management application should have the most
trust in a monitor-owned row because it should be changed very
infrequently. A row owned by the management application is less
long-lived because a network administrator is more likely to re-
assign resources from a row that is in use by one user than from a
monitor-owned row that is potentially in use by many users. A row
owned by another application would be even less long-lived because
the other application may delete or modify that row completely at its
discretion.
3.2. Row Addition Among Multiple Management Stations
The addition of new rows is achieved using the method described in
RFC 1905 [13]. In this MIB, rows are often added to a table in order
to configure a function. This configuration usually involves
parameters that control the operation of the function. The agent
must check these parameters to make sure they are appropriate given
restrictions defined in this MIB as well as any implementation
specific restrictions such as lack of resources. The agent
implementor may be confused as to when to check these parameters and
when to signal to the management station that the parameters are
invalid. There are two opportunities:
o When the management station sets each parameter object.
o When the management station sets the entry status object to
valid.
If the latter is chosen, it would be unclear to the management
station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the
badValue error to be emitted. Thus, wherever possible, the
implementor should choose the former as it will provide more
information to the management station.
A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set
configuration information simultaneously using SNMP. When this
involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control
table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry.
To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a
status object with special semantics that help to arbitrate among the
managers. If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to
create such a status object and that object already exists, an error
is returned. When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to
create the same conceptual row, only the first can succeed. The
others will receive an error.
When a manager wishes to create a new control entry, it needs to
choose an index for that row. It may choose this index in a variety
of ways, hopefully minimizing the chances that the index is in use by
another manager. If the index is in use, the mechanism mentioned
previously will guard against collisions. Examples of schemes to
choose index values include random selection or scanning the control
table looking for the first unused index. Because index values may
be any valid value in the range and they are chosen by the manager,
the agent must allow a row to be created with any unused index value
if it has the resources to create a new row.
Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this MIB. When
creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is generally
allowable for dangling references to exist. There is no defined
order for creating or deleting entries in these tables.
4. Conventions
The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and its
companion documents.
Good Packets
Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame length.
For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that
are between 64 octets long and 1518 octets long. They follow the
form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.
Bad Packets
Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are therefore
recognized as packets, but contain errors within the packet or have
an invalid length. For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a
valid preamble and SFD, but have a bad CRC, or are either shorter
than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.

REVISION "199502010000Z" -- 1 Feb, 1995
DESCRIPTION
"Bug fixes, clarifications and minor changes based on
implementation experience, published as RFC1757 [18].
Two changes were made to object definitions:
1) A new status bit has been defined for the
captureBufferPacketStatus object, indicating that the
packet order within the capture buffer may not be identical to
the packet order as received off the wire. This bit may only
be used for packets transmitted by the probe. Older NMS
applications can safely ignore this status bit, which might be
used by newer agents.
2) The packetMatch trap has been removed. This trap was never
actually 'approved' and was not added to this document along
with the risingAlarm and fallingAlarm traps. The packetMatch
trap could not be throttled, which could cause disruption of
normal network traffic under some circumstances. An NMS should
configure a risingAlarm threshold on the appropriate
channelMatches instance if a trap is desired for a packetMatch
event. Note that logging of packetMatch events is still
supported--only trap generation for such events has been
removed.
In addition, several clarifications to individual object
definitions have been added to assist agent and NMS
implementors:
- global definition of 'good packets' and 'bad packets'
- more detailed text governing conceptual row creation and
modification
- instructions for probes relating to interface changes and
disruptions
- clarification of some ethernet counter definitions
- recommended formula for calculating network utilization
- clarification of channel and captureBuffer behavior for some
unusual conditions
- examples of proper instance naming for each table"

DESCRIPTION
"This data type is used to model an administratively
assigned name of the owner of a resource. Implementations
must accept values composed of well-formed NVT ASCII
sequences. In addition, implementations should accept
values composed of well-formed UTF-8 sequences.
It is suggested that this name contain one or more of
the following: IP address, management station name,
network manager's name, location, or phone number.
In some cases the agent itself will be the owner of
an entry. In these cases, this string shall be set
to a string starting with 'monitor'.
SNMP access control is articulated entirely in terms
of the contents of MIB views; access to a particular
SNMP object instance depends only upon its presence
or absence in a particular MIB view and never upon
its value or the value of related object instances.
Thus, objects of this type afford resolution of
resource contention only among cooperating
managers; they realize no access control function
with respect to uncooperative parties."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..127))
EntryStatus ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The status of a table entry.
Setting this object to the value invalid(4) has the
effect of invalidating the corresponding entry.
That is, it effectively disassociates the mapping
identified with said entry.
It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether
the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table.
Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to
receive tabular information from agents that corresponds
to entries currently not in use. Proper
interpretation of such entries requires examination
of the relevant EntryStatus object.
An existing instance of this object cannot be set to
createRequest(2). This object may only be set to
createRequest(2) when this instance is created. When
this object is created, the agent may wish to create
supplemental object instances with default values
to complete a conceptual row in this table. Because the
creation of these default objects is entirely at the option
of the agent, the manager must not assume that any will be
created, but may make use of any that are created.
Immediately after completing the create operation, the agent
must set this object to underCreation(3).
When in the underCreation(3) state, an entry is allowed to
exist in a possibly incomplete, possibly inconsistent state,
usually to allow it to be modified in multiple PDUs. When in
this state, an entry is not fully active.
Entries shall exist in the underCreation(3) state until
the management station is finished configuring the entry
and sets this object to valid(1) or aborts, setting this
object to invalid(4). If the agent determines that an
entry has been in the underCreation(3) state for an
abnormally long time, it may decide that the management
station has crashed. If the agent makes this decision,
it may set this object to invalid(4) to reclaim the
entry. A prudent agent will understand that the
management station may need to wait for human input
and will allow for that possibility in its
determination of this abnormally long period.
An entry in the valid(1) state is fully configured and
consistent and fully represents the configuration or
operation such a row is intended to represent. For
example, it could be a statistical function that is
configured and active, or a filter that is available
in the list of filters processed by the packet capture
process.
A manager is restricted to changing the state of an entry in
the following ways:
To: valid createRequest underCreation invalid
From:
valid OK NO OK OK
createRequest N/A N/A N/A N/A
underCreation OK NO OK OK
invalid NO NO NO OK
nonExistent NO OK NO OK
In the table above, it is not applicable to move the state
from the createRequest state to any other state because the
manager will never find the variable in that state. The
nonExistent state is not a value of the enumeration, rather
it means that the entryStatus variable does not exist at all.
An agent may allow an entryStatus variable to change state in
additional ways, so long as the semantics of the states are
followed. This allowance is made to ease the implementation of
the agent and is made despite the fact that managers should
never exercise these additional state transitions."

"This object identifies the source of the data that

In order to identify a particular interface, this object
shall identify the instance of the ifIndex object,
defined in RFC 2233 [17], for the desired interface.
For example, if an entry were to receive data from
interface #1, this object would be set to ifIndex.1.
The statistics in this group reflect all packets
on the local network segment attached to the identified
interface.
An agent may or may not be able to tell if fundamental
changes to the media of the interface have occurred and
necessitate an invalidation of this entry. For example, a
hot-pluggable ethernet card could be pulled out and replaced
by a token-ring card. In such a case, if the agent has such
knowledge of the change, it is recommended that it
invalidate this entry.

"The best estimate of the total number of collisions

The value returned will depend on the location of the

10.3.1.3 (10BASE-2) of IEEE standard 802.3 states that a
station must detect a collision, in the receive mode, if
three or more stations are transmitting simultaneously. A
repeater port must detect a collision when two or more
stations are transmitting simultaneously. Thus a probe
placed on a repeater port could record more collisions
than a probe connected to a station on the same segment
would.
Probe location plays a much smaller role when considering
10BASE-T. 14.2.1.4 (10BASE-T) of IEEE standard 802.3
defines a collision as the simultaneous presence of signals
on the DO and RD circuits (transmitting and receiving
at the same time). A 10BASE-T station can only detect
collisions when it is transmitting. Thus probes placed on
a station and a repeater, should report the same number of
collisions.
Note also that an RMON probe inside a repeater should
ideally report collisions between the repeater and one or
more other hosts (transmit collisions as defined by IEEE
802.3k) plus receiver collisions observed on any coax
segments to which the repeater is connected."

Because the counters in a bucket may overflow at their
maximum value with no indication, a prudent manager will

the associated counters. It is important to consider the
minimum time in which any counter could overflow on a
particular media type and set the historyControlInterval

--
-- In the case of a sampling a deltaValue, a probe may implement

-- The Host Group
-- Implementation of the Host group is optional.
-- Consult the MODULE-COMPLIANCE macro for the authoritative
-- conformance information for this MIB.
--
-- The host group discovers new hosts on the network by
-- keeping a list of source and destination MAC Addresses seen
-- in good packets. For each of these addresses, the host group
-- keeps a set of statistics. The hostControlTable controls
-- which interfaces this function is performed on, and contains
-- some information about the process. On behalf of each
-- hostControlEntry, data is collected on an interface and placed
-- in both the hostTable and the hostTimeTable. If the
-- monitoring device finds itself short of resources, it may
-- delete entries as needed. It is suggested that the device
-- delete the least recently used entries first.
-- The hostTable contains entries for each address discovered on
-- a particular interface. Each entry contains statistical
-- data about that host. This table is indexed by the
-- MAC address of the host, through which a random access
-- may be achieved.
-- The hostTimeTable contains data in the same format as the
-- hostTable, and must contain the same set of hosts, but is
-- indexed using hostTimeCreationOrder rather than hostAddress.
-- The hostTimeCreationOrder is an integer which reflects
-- the relative order in which a particular entry was discovered
-- and thus inserted into the table. As this order, and thus
-- the index, is among those entries currently in the table,
-- the index for a particular entry may change if an
-- (earlier) entry is deleted. Thus the association between
-- hostTimeCreationOrder and hostTimeEntry may be broken at
-- any time.
-- The hostTimeTable has two important uses. The first is the
-- fast download of this potentially large table. Because the
-- index of this table runs from 1 to the size of the table,
-- inclusive, its values are predictable. This allows very
-- efficient packing of variables into SNMP PDU's and allows
-- a table transfer to have multiple packets outstanding.
-- These benefits increase transfer rates tremendously.
-- The second use of the hostTimeTable is the efficient discovery
-- by the management station of new entries added to the table.
-- After the management station has downloaded the entire table,
-- it knows that new entries will be added immediately after the
-- end of the current table. It can thus detect new entries there
-- and retrieve them easily.
-- Because the association between hostTimeCreationOrder and
-- hostTimeEntry may be broken at any time, the management
-- station must monitor the related hostControlLastDeleteTime
-- object. When the management station thus detects a deletion,
-- it must assume that any such associations have been broken,
-- and invalidate any it has stored locally. This includes
-- restarting any download of the hostTimeTable that may have been
-- in progress, as well as rediscovering the end of the
-- hostTimeTable so that it may detect new entries. If the
-- management station does not detect the broken association,
-- it may continue to refer to a particular host by its
-- creationOrder while unwittingly retrieving the data associated
-- with another host entirely. If this happens while downloading
-- the host table, the management station may fail to download
-- all of the entries in the table.

-- The Matrix group consists of the matrixControlTable, matrixSDTable
-- and the matrixDSTable. These tables store statistics for a
-- particular conversation between two addresses. As the device
-- detects a new conversation, including those to a non-unicast
-- address, it creates a new entry in both of the matrix tables.
-- It must only create new entries based on information
-- received in good packets. If the monitoring device finds
-- itself short of resources, it may delete entries as needed.
-- It is suggested that the device delete the least recently used
-- entries first.

--
-- This filter mechanism allows the creation of an arbitrary

-- Within a filter, any bits checked in the data and status are

-- If a management station wishes to receive a trap to alert it

filterPktDataMask bit equal to one. The following three
rules are then applied to every packet:
(1) If the packet is too short and does not have data
corresponding to part of the filterPktData, the packet
will fail this data match.
(2) For each relevant bit from the packet with the
corresponding filterPktDataNotMask bit set to zero, if
the bit from the packet is not equal to the corresponding
bit from the filterPktData, then the packet will fail
this data match.
(3) If for every relevant bit from the packet with the
corresponding filterPktDataNotMask bit set to one, the
bit from the packet is equal to the corresponding bit
from the filterPktData, then the packet will fail this
data match.
Any packets that have not failed any of the three matches

purposes of the matching algorithm, if the associated

bits in the received packet that correspond to bits set in
this mask must be different to its corresponding bit in the
filterPktData object.
For the purposes of the matching algorithm, if the associated
filterPktData object is longer than this mask, this mask is
conceptually extended with '0' bits until it reaches the
length of the filterPktData object.
This object may not be modified if the associated

filterPktStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The status that is to be matched with the input packet.
The only bits relevant to this match algorithm are those that
have the corresponding filterPktStatusMask bit equal to one.
The following two rules are then applied to every packet:
(1) For each relevant bit from the packet status with the
corresponding filterPktStatusNotMask bit set to zero, if
the bit from the packet status is not equal to the
corresponding bit from the filterPktStatus, then the
packet will fail this status match.
(2) If for every relevant bit from the packet status with the
corresponding filterPktStatusNotMask bit set to one, the
bit from the packet status is equal to the corresponding
bit from the filterPktStatus, then the packet will fail
this status match.
Any packets that have not failed either of the two matches
above have passed this status match. In particular, a zero
length status filter will match any packet's status.
The value of the packet status is a sum. This sum
initially takes the value zero. Then, for each
error, E, that has been discovered in this packet,
2 raised to a value representing E is added to the sum.
The errors and the bits that represent them are dependent
on the media type of the interface that this channel
is receiving packets from.
The errors defined for a packet captured off of an
Ethernet interface are as follows:
bit # Error
0 Packet is longer than 1518 octets
1 Packet is shorter than 64 octets
2 Packet experienced a CRC or Alignment error
For example, an Ethernet fragment would have a
value of 6 (2^1 + 2^2).
As this MIB is expanded to new media types, this object
will have other media-specific errors defined.
For the purposes of this status matching algorithm, if the
packet status is longer than this filterPktStatus object,
this object is conceptually extended with '0' bits until it
reaches the size of the packet status.
This object may not be modified if the associated
filterStatus object is equal to valid(1)."

DESCRIPTION
"Controls the action of the buffer when it

bufferControlCaptureSliceSize OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
UNITS "Octets"

DESCRIPTION
"The maximum number of octets of each packet
that will be saved in this capture buffer.
For example, if a 1500 octet packet is received by
the probe and this object is set to 500, then only
500 octets of the packet will be stored in the
associated capture buffer. If this variable is set
to 0, the capture buffer will save as many octets
as is possible.
This object may not be modified if the associated
bufferControlStatus object is equal to valid(1)."
DEFVAL { 100 }
::= { bufferControlEntry 5 }
bufferControlDownloadSliceSize OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
UNITS "Octets"
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The maximum number of octets of each packet
in this capture buffer that will be returned in
an SNMP retrieval of that packet. For example,
if 500 octets of a packet have been stored in the
associated capture buffer, the associated
bufferControlDownloadOffset is 0, and this
object is set to 100, then the captureBufferPacket
object that contains the packet will contain only
the first 100 octets of the packet.
A prudent manager will take into account possible
interoperability or fragmentation problems that may
occur if the download slice size is set too large.
In particular, conformant SNMP implementations are not
required to accept messages whose length exceeds 484
octets, although they are encouraged to support larger
datagrams whenever feasible."

DESCRIPTION
"The offset of the first octet of each packet

if 500 octets of a packet have been stored in the
associated capture buffer and this object is set to
100, then the captureBufferPacket object that
contains the packet will contain bytes starting
100 octets into the packet."

DESCRIPTION
"The requested maximum number of octets to be

implementation-specific overhead. If this variable
is set to -1, the capture buffer will save as many
octets as is possible.
When this object is created or modified, the probe
should set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted as closely
to this object as is possible for the particular probe
implementation and available resources. However, if
the object has the special value of -1, the probe
must set bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted to -1."

bufferControlMaxOctetsGranted OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32

DESCRIPTION
"The maximum number of octets that can be
saved in this captureBuffer, including overhead.
If this variable is -1, the capture buffer will save
as many octets as possible.
When the bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested object is
created or modified, the probe should set this object
as closely to the requested value as is possible for the
particular probe implementation and available resources.
However, if the request object has the special value
of -1, the probe must set this object to -1.
The probe must not lower this value except as a result of
a modification to the associated
bufferControlMaxOctetsRequested object.
When this maximum number of octets is reached
and a new packet is to be added to this
capture buffer and the corresponding
bufferControlFullAction is set to wrapWhenFull(2),
enough of the oldest packets associated with this
capture buffer shall be deleted by the agent so
that the new packet can be added. If the corresponding
bufferControlFullAction is set to lockWhenFull(1),
the new packet shall be discarded. In either case,
the probe must set bufferControlFullStatus to
full(2).
When the value of this object changes to a value less
than the current value, entries are deleted from
the captureBufferTable associated with this
bufferControlEntry. Enough of the
oldest of these captureBufferEntries shall be
deleted by the agent so that the number of octets
used remains less than or equal to the new value of
this object.
When the value of this object changes to a value greater
than the current value, the number of associated
captureBufferEntries may be allowed to grow."

The errors defined for a packet captured off of an
Ethernet interface are as follows:
bit # Error
0 Packet is longer than 1518 octets
1 Packet is shorter than 64 octets
2 Packet experienced a CRC or Alignment error
3 First packet in this capture buffer after
it was detected that some packets were

6. Security Considerations
In order to implement this MIB, a probe must capture all packets on
the locally-attached network, including packets between third
parties. These packets are analyzed to collect network addresses,
protocol usage information, and conversation statistics. Data of this
nature may be considered sensitive in some environments. In such
environments the administrator may wish to restrict SNMP access to
the probe.
This MIB also includes functions for returning the contents of
captured packets, potentially including sensitive user data or
passwords. It is recommended that SNMP access to these functions be
restricted.
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such
objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no
control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and
GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that the implementors consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
(change/create/delete) them.
