Simple Network Management Protocol

• Building management protocols around commands results

in complexity as we need a command for each operation.

• SNMP casts all operations in a fetch-store paradigm.


Example: Rebooting device by setting a data item
(sysUpTime) value to be zero.

• Advantages of fetch-store paradigm:


• Stability (no changes if MIB variables change),
• Simplicity in implementation,
• Flexibility: New functionality is added easily

Simple Network Management Protocol

• From a manager’s point of view, SNMP remains hidden.


Network management software phrases operations as
commands (a point-and-click style of interaction).

In practice, SNMP offers more than fetch and store


operations

Simple Network Management Protocol: SNMP in network management

• SNMP follows a request-response paradigm. An exception is a

manager can configure a device to send snmpv2-trap

messages asynchronously.

Simple Network Management Protocol: SNMP in network management

• SNMP protocol versions:


• SNMP V1:
• Simple security (community string) sent as a plain text.
• Access control: read-only, read-write, and trap modes.
• SNMP V2:
• Simple security (community string) sent as a plain text.
• Access control: read-only, read-write, and trap modes.
• SNMP V3:
• Users and groups security mechanism,
• access control,
• hashing, encryption.

SNMP protocol Stack: Management requests UDP port 161, traps UDP port 162.

SNMP is
Connectionless

Simple Network Management Protocol: SNMP message types

SNMP message types:


• GetRequest-PDU:

• Request for information about some variables

• Its reply is “Response-PDU” with requested values or error code.

• The GetNextRequest-PDU:

• Discover the structure of a MIB view dynamically after the requested

variables.

• GetBulkRequest-PDU:

• request that the response be as large as possible given the constraints on

message size.

Simple Network Management Protocol: SNMP message types

SNMP message types:


• SetRequest-PDU:
• Request altering variables values.
• Reply with “Response-PDU” message.
• The SetRequest operation is atomic: All success or error returned.
• SNMPv2-Trap-PDU:
• Agent message to managing agent when an unusual event occurs.
• It is an unconfirmed message.
• InformRequest-PDU:
• Managing agent to another managing agent information.
• Reply with “Response-PDU” message as an acknowledge
