SNMP supports five types of protocol data units (PDUs), as follows: Table 1-3 PDU type PDU GetRequest-PDU GetNextRequest-PDU Function It is used for accessing an agent and obtaining variable values from the table. It can obtain the next logical ID descriptor from MIB. Its functions are the same as those of GetRequest-PDU except this function. It is used for responding to GetResponse, GetNextResponse, and SetRequest PDUs. It contains the ID descriptors relevant to the preceding PDUs and provides ID descriptors of response status information, such as error codes, error status, and supplementary information list. It describes the action acting on an element. Typically, it is used for modifying the values in the variable list. It allows the network management module to report an event occurred on an NE or status change of an NE.

1.2.3 MIB Description


This chapter provides the basic concepts of MIB. The MIB is a key part of the SNMP network management framework. The MIB is the object set managed by SNMP, including all the variables to be managed. All the SNMP operations such as Get and Set, aim at the managed objects in the MIB. The MIB defines the managed objects that are used by the function interfaces of the SNMP Northbound Interface. The definitions decide what operations the NMS can do and what network management information the NMS can obtain. The international organization assigns MIB node 2011 to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd (HUAWEI). HUAWEI assigns MIB node 2011.2.15 to the NMS. The NMS assigns MIB node 1 as hwNmAgent. Therefore, the complete MIB node information is: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).huawei(2011).products (2).hwNetManagement(15).hwNmAgent(1) IHW-IMAPV1NORTHBOUND-TRAP-MIB defines the root node information of the SNMP Northbound Interface. The SNMP Northbound Interface further assigns the MIB node information based on the root node. See below:

1.3.2 Security Mechanism of SNMP v1 and v2c


This section describes the security mechanism of SNMP versions v1 and v2c. The security mechanism of SNMP v1 and v2c is community-based. The packet is sent in plain text that is easy to be intercepted or modified. Compared with SNMP v3, the security is weaker. Before the Get, Get Next or Set operation, NMS must know the community strings configured in the agent. For set operations, NMS must know the write community configured in the agent. For get operations, NMS must know the read community configured in the agent. In the Trap and Inform packets, the community name is the first read community configured in the agent.

1.3.3 Security Mechanism of SNMP v3


This section describes the security mechanism of SNMPv3 version. SNMPv3 adopts the user-based security mechanism. The authentication and encryption mechanisms are used during the interaction with SNMP. To do read and write operations to agent, user must know:
l l l

SNMP v3 user name in the Agent. Security level. The authentication and/or privacy passwords information.

The trap packets can be correctly resolved and handled only when the receiving end knows authentication parameters configured at agent correctly.

1 Overview

iManager U2000 Northbound SNMP Interface User Guide

SNMP v3 uses the elements such as EngineID and EngineBoots to avoid delay, frame change and other attacks. Therefore, the security is greatly optimized compared with SNMP v1 and v2c.

About This Chapter

Function Interfaces

The SNMP Northbound Interface provides different function interfaces to the different NMSs. 2.1 Reporting Fault Alarms in Real-Time The SNMP Northbound Interface reports the real-time fault alarms to the NMS, so that the NMS can get the exact information of NE real-time alarms. 2.2 Querying Current Alarms Through the SNMP NBI of the U2000, the upper layer NMS can query the current alarms (unterminated alarms) of the U2000. 2.3 Alarm handshaking and Caching Real time alarms are sent through Inform to the third party NMS. When the NMS is down due to some failure at its side, real-time alarms are cached. When the failure is rectified, all the cached alarms are sent to the NMS in the order in which they were received from the EMS. 2.4 Traps This chapter introduces the trap configuration information of the SNMP Northbound Interface.

You can configure the Alarm Field Settings of the SNMP by using NMS Maintenance Suite, so that you can set the variables that an alarm carries to change the alarm information. For details, see 3.6 Configuring the SNMP NBI. For details on alarm field, refer Alarm Field Settings. Step 3 Set the alarm filter conditions. You can configure the third-party NMS items of the SNMP by using NMS Maintenance Suite, so that you can set the alarm filter criteria. For details, see 3.6 Configuring the SNMP NBI. For details on alarm filter levels, refer Third-Party NMS. Step 4 Restart SNMP Agent. Restart the SNMP Agent for new settings to take effect. The alarms are sent to the upper NMS by the SNMP Agent. The severity of the alarms is checked against the specified filter conditions. Accordingly, the alarms are either reported or filtered out. ----End

2.2 Querying Current Alarms


Through the SNMP NBI of the U2000, the upper layer NMS can query the current alarms (unterminated alarms) of the U2000. 2.2.1 Changing Filter Criteria The alarm filter criteria can be changed dynamically when the SNMP NBI is running. 2.2.2 Synchronizing Alarms Fault alarm synchronization is a process in which the alarms are queried by the third party NMS so that the alarms are consistent between upper NMS and EMS. 2.2.3 Acknowledging Alarms NMS can acknowledge alarms based on the alarm serial numbers. 2.2.4 Unacknowledging Alarms NMS can unacknowledge alarms based on the alarm serial numbers. 2.2.5 Clearing Alarms NMS can clear alarms based on the alarm serial numbers.

2.2.1 Changing Filter Criteria


The alarm filter criteria can be changed dynamically when the SNMP NBI is running.

On the Windows OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the %IMAPROOT%\server\etc \conf. On the Solaris or SUSE Linux OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the $IMAPROOT/ server/etc/conf.

The alarm filter level is represented in four bits in binary notation. The alarm severity levels that can be filtered are critical, major, minor, and warning. Table 2-2 lists the meanings of each bit of the alarm filter level. If a bit is set to 0, it indicates that the alarms of the corresponding severity level are reported. If a bit is set to 1, it indicates that the alarms of the corresponding severity level are filtered out. Table 2-2 Alarm filter level Most Significant Bit (MSB) Critical Alarm Major Alarm Minor Alarm Least Significant Bit (LSB) Warning Alarm

The alarm category filter condition is represented in three bits in binary notation. The alarm severity levels that can be filtered are event, fault, and recovery. Table 2-3 lists the meanings of each bit of the alarm category filter condition. If a bit is set to 0, it indicates that the alarms of the corresponding alarm category are reported. If a bit is set to 1, it indicates that the alarms of the corresponding alarm category are filtered out.

Example
The IP address of the upper-layer OSS is set to 10.70.73.159 and the serial number of the port for receiving alarms is set to 161. To report only the critical and major alarms and filter out the minor and warning alarms, you need to set the MIB node to 10.70.73.159:161:0011.

2.2.2 Synchronizing Alarms


Fault alarm synchronization is a process in which the alarms are queried by the third party NMS so that the alarms are consistent between upper NMS and EMS.

Context
NMS can specify the time interval for alarm synchronization. This function adopts SNMP Trap or Inform mode depending upon the configuration done in the snmp_agent_svc.xml file.
NOTE

l l

On the Windows OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the %IMAPROOT%\server\etc \conf. On the Solaris or SUSE Linux OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the $IMAPROOT/ server/etc/conf.

The following MIB nodes are exposed. Node Name hwNmNorthboundEventSynchronizationCommandStart hwNmNorthboundEventSynchronizationCommandStop OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.7.4 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.7.5

Procedure
Step 1 Set the MIB node exposed. Set the hwNmNorthboundEventSynchronizationCommandStart node in the format as specified. IP address of the NMS: Port number of the NMS: Start Time: End Time The IP address and Port are same as configured in the snmp_agent_svc.xml file. Start Time and End Time parameters are in UTC time format and are optional. The syntax for start time and end time is: YYYYMMDDhhmmss. The variable description is as follows:
l l l l

YYYY: Four digit year. The range of values is 1970 onwards. MM: Two digit month. The range of values is 01-12. DD: Two digit date. The range of values is 01-31. hh: Two digit hour. The range of value is 00-23.

iManager U2000 Northbound SNMP Interface User Guide

mm: Two digit minutes. The range of values is 00-59. ss: two digit seconds. The range of values is 00-59.

For Example, Valid query conditions: 10.18.38.63:20061006090520:20061006090520 - Start time and end time are specified. 10.18.38.63:161:20061006090520 - No end time is specified. The SNMP Northbound Interface sends a start synchronization notification to the NMS with the following OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.7.4 Alarm synchronization starts. Step 2 Receive active alarms present in the EMS Database. The NMS receives the active alarms present in the EMS Database between time period specified (if any). The OID of the synchronous data is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15 The OID carries the same VBs. The field formats are the same as those for a real-time alarm. The alarms can be synchronized for the NMSs configured in the snmp_agent_svc.xml file. Step 3 End alarm synchronization. The alarm synchronization ends after all active alarms are sent to the NMS or the NMS user sends the stop alarm synchronization request to the SNMP Northbound Interface.. Set hwNmNorthboundEventSynchronizationCommandStop node in the format as specified: IP Address: Port Number The IP Address and the port number is the address of the NMS for which alarm synchronization is to be stopped The SNMP alarm Northbound Interface sends a notification to the NMS which contains the result of synchronization. 1. 2. 3. Alarm synchronization has been successfully ended. Alarm synchronization is stopped by the NMS command. Error has occurred during the alarm synchronization.
NOTE

l l l

If End Time is not present, the current system time of the EMS is treated as the End Time. If both are not present all the active alarms are queried. If End Time is present Start Time is mandatory.

How to configure AdditionalVB


Additional VBs are not defined in agent. New type of additional VB can be added without changing the agent. Only snmp_agent_svc.xml needs to be changed. They do not have its own OID and use fixed OID assigned to additional information. They will use OID according to their order in the additional vbs.
NOTE

l l

On the Windows OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the %IMAPROOT%\server\etc \conf. On the Solaris or SUSE Linux OS, the configuration file snmp_agent_svc.xml in the $IMAPROOT/ server/etc/conf.

For example, the first VB in the additional VBs will use HwNmNorthboundAdditionalVB1 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.1.16.0) The second VB in the additional VBs will use HwNmNorthboundAdditionalVB2 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.1.17.0) The eighth VB in the additional VBs will use HwNmNorthboundAdditionalVB8 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.15.1.7.1.23.0).

3 Deploying and Configuring SNMP

3.1 Overview
This topic describes the background information and the terms involved in the process of deploying and configuring the northbound interface.

Attention Item
l

Northbound interface is an optional component of the U2000. A license is required for using this function. If you do not install the northbound interface component during the installation of the U2000, you need to add it manually. The northbound interface is a System single-instance deployment package. Therefore, only one instance can be deployed.

CAUTION
l

After the northbound interface component is installed or added, you need to add a corresponding instance and configure parameters. Then, the U2000 can start the NBI-related process. After initializing the database of the U2000, you need to configure the northbound interface instance again. After the northbound interface instance is configured, you need to restart all the NMS services.

Terms
The following explains certain confusable terms:
l

Component: It is the software function unit that can be selected for installation. A component can consist of multiple deployment packages. Deployment package: It is the software unit that is deployed on a PC. In a distributed system, the deployment packages of a component may be deployed on different PCs. Deployment packages are classified into the following types:

System single-instance: Such deployment packages can be installed on only one server and the server can be deployed with only one instance. Single-server single-instance: Such deployment packages can be installed on multiple servers and each server can be deployed with only one instance. Single-server multi-instance: Such deployment packages can be installed on multiple servers and each server can be deployed with multiple instances.

NOTE

The type of northbound interface deployment package is System single-instance.

NMS Maintenance Suite


Through the GUI of the NMS maintenance tool, you can conveniently deploy the northbound interface.

WARNING
l

Trap (passive reporting) : The SNMP agent reports alarms only after receiving a request from the upper layer NMS. Inform (active reporting): The SNMP agent reports alarms once alarms are generated. In this mode, if the parameters configured for the upper layer NMS are incorrect, the SNMP agent tries connecting to the upper layer NMS for many times. This will occupy a large number of resources. As a result, the efficiency of the SNMP agent is reduced. Therefore, exercise caution when you set this parameter to Inform.
