Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page i Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 Abstract This document is intended to facilitate the use of ISO/CCITT MIBs for integrated management of networks via proxy management of TCP/IP networks that are managed using SNMP. This document provides heuristic procedures that translate managed object specifications from ISO/CCITT Guidelines for Definition of Managed Object (GDMO) templates to Internet MIB macros. Currently, some market segments demand SNMP for customer network management, while others require the ISO/CCITT Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP). The approach defined in this document accommodates both, protecting investment already made in management information specifications and minimizing cost to implement a second protocol where the market requires. This translation is designed to: lose as little functionality as possible in translation; minimize need for human involvement during translation; minimize cost to implement dual protocol and proxy-based applications; and support generic network models that span many computer platforms and network elements. This document in intended to encourage standardization of such an approach and promote consistent usage of MIB definitions, independent of protocol.

Draft 1 - March 26, 1993 Current draft of this document (replaces Draft 0). Major Changes Since Last Revision At the IIMC meeting of February 8-9, 1993, the editor was instructed to make revisions and supply proposed text in certain areas for the next draft of this document. Those changes have been applied to Draft 0 in arriving at this draft (Draft 1). Following is a summary of the edits applied: 1. Auto-registry of generated ASN.1 Modules was added to translation of notifications. 2. Index Usage in Translated MIBs was clarified. 3. An algorithm is provided for mapping notifications to traps and Appendix B is largely rewritten to provide the example output, derived from ISO 10165- 2 (DMI). In the process, several miscellaneous errors were corrected. 4. The "OSI Compatibility MIB" was renamed "ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB". (Alignment with the name of the ISO/CCITT Proxy MIB should also be considered). 5. Objectives have been clarified to indicate that SNMPv2 is in the scope of the first Issue of this document, and pragmas are not. 6. Machine Readable Conventions for REFERENCE Values have been specified to facilitate mechanized translation. 7. Translating the attributes of ISO/CCITT Top have been clarified. The NAME BINDING table provides the only attribute of Top that appears to be needed. Action Item Proposals Contained In This Document #19 Current Issues List Outstanding Issues The following actions were identified at the February IIMC meeting, but have not yet been addressed in this draft. Proposals in these areas would be most welcome. #21 A More Extensive Example for Appendix A. #20 Add support for SNMPv2. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page iii Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 1.Introduction The past decade has witnessed the development of enterprise wide networks composed of a multi-vendor environment containing heterogeneous protocol and hardware suites. Organizations have become increasingly dependent on these enterprise networks for their daily operations. This dependence has focused attention on the need for operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) of the multi-vendor enterprise network on an end-to-end basis. 1.1 Background This document is part of a package of ISO/CCITT and Internet Management Coexistence (IIMC) drafts. Other documents included in this package are: [IIMCIMIBTRANS] Translation of Internet MIBs to ISO/CCITT GDMO MIBs [IIMCMIB-II] Translation of Internet MIB-II(RFC 1213) to ISO/CCITT GDMO MIB [IIMCSEC] ISO/CCITT to Internet Management Security [IIMCPROXY] ISO/CCITT to Internet Management Proxy These documents together comprise a package aimed at integrating ISO/CCITT-based and Internet-based management systems. These documents represent coexistence and interworking efforts underway within the IIMC working group, chartered under the auspices of the Network Management Forum Architecture Integration ISO/Internet technical team. This work was initiated, in part, by NM Forum efforts to translate RFC 1214 for use with OMNIPoint 1 implementations. Through this effort, it became obvious that end-to-end management requires an integrated, unified view of the managed network, despite differences in management protocol and information structure. Integrated management can be facilitated by the development of "proxy" mechanisms which translate between functionally equivalent service, protocol, and SMI differences to create this unified view. MIB translation procedures can be used to support proxy management, as well as to take advantage of existing MIB definition and avoid duplication of effort. In this way, commercial investment in both ISO/CCITT and Internet-based management technologies can be preserved through deployment of common methods and tools which support integration. This overall strategy was outlined in a joint publication developed by the NM Forum and X/Open entitled "ISO/CCITT and Internet Management: Coexistence and Interworking Strategy" Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 1 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 [NMFMC92]. The documents included in the IIMC package are the next level of detailed specifications which implement several of the methodologies identified in the strategy. 1.2 Overview The response to the need for OAM&P of enterprise networks has been the development of network management standards within various networking communities - most notably the ISO/CCITT and Internet communities. However, coordination of standards activities between these two communities has not occurred. As a result, although they share a nearly common management model, differences in their management protocols and structures of management information (SMIs) have developed due to differing management philosophies. The ISO/CCITT community has developed the Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) [ISO9596-1], and related SMI documents [ISO10165-1,2,4]. The Internet community has developed the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [RFC1157], and its successor, SNMPv2 [SNMPv2PROT]. The Internet SMI is defined in [RFC1155] and [SNMPv2SMI]. Although functionally similar, the Internet and ISO/CCITT protocols and SMIs differ in terms of their complexity and specific operations. The focus on the need for end-to-end enterprise management has indicated the need to integrate the management of components accessed by ISO/CCITT management, Internet management and proprietary management mechanisms in a manner which presents a unified view of the network, despite protocol and SMI differences. One way to integrate management is by the development of "proxy" mechanisms which translate between functionally equivalent services, protocol and SMI differences to create this unified view. A body of telecommunications and computer vendors, represented by organizations such as the Network Management Forum (NMF), and the U.S. government, as specified in the Government Network Management Profile (GNMP) have based their integrated management model on the ISO/CCITT management model using CMIP and the ISO/CCITT SMI. These organizations are particularly interested in the development of proxies for devices that use the Internet management protocols and SMI. Their interest is primarily due to the widespread commercial implementation and use of such devices within their enterprises, especially devices that use the Internet TCP/IP protocol suite. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 2 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 The basic model for ISO/CCITT-Internet proxy management is illustrated in the following diagram.

The service emulation allows management of Internet objects by an ISO/CCITT manager. The left hand side of the proxy behaves like an ISO/CCITT agent, communicating with the ISO/CCITT manager using CMIP protocols. The right hand side of the proxy behaves like an Internet manager, communicating with the Internet agent using SNMP protocols. The proxy relies on the existence of a pair of directly- related MIB definitions, where the Internet MIB has been translated into ISO/CCITT GDMO using the procedures specified in [IIMCIMIBTRANS]. The proxy defined in [IIMCPROXY] uses these MIB definitions and rules to provide run-time translation of management information carried in service requests and responses. The proxy architecture is designed with a specified interface between the proxy and the underlying protocol stacks, and so deals primarily in terms of CMIS services and SNMP "services". The proxy emulates services such as CMIS scoping and filtering, processing of CMIS operations, and forwarding/logging of CMIS notifications by performing a mapping process which must be tailored for each protocol (for example, SNMP and SNMPv2 are variants of the same protocol mapping process). In addition, this document specifies translation procedures for converting ISO/CCITT GDMO MIBs into Internet MIBs. MIBs generated by this translation process cannot be utilized by the Proxy defined in [IIMCPROXY], although another kind of Proxy could be defined for this purpose in the future. Finally, note that MIBs translated by procedures such as those defined by [IIMCIMIBTRANS] and [IIMCOMIBTRANS] may also be used without a proxy. For example, a translated MIB may be used to take advantage of existing MIB definitions when business needs require deployment in a different management environment. Translated MIBs may also be used to provide uniformity when multiple management environments are supported by a single system (e.g., dual stack managers). Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 4 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 1.3 Scope In recent years computer networks have experienced an explosion in the number and complexity of objects to be managed. Especially challenging have been environments where platforms from many vendors must interact and complex software and hardware configurations must be supported. A chronic concern for such environments is end-to-end problem determination and resolution. Consequently there has been much effort toward standardizing the management of applications, networks, services and systems. Despite this major investment, consumers and standards participants have often found progress disturbingly slow --- especially in standardizing management information. To further complicate matters, different subcultures have developed differing philosophies and technologies for network management. Notable examples are the Internet and ISO/CCITT communities. Although MIB work in these communities has so far mostly been complementary there is increasing danger of duplicative, inconsistent and competitive MIB specification. Standardization is a political process and each philosophy of network management has its merits. However a network manger rarely has the luxury of being politician or philosopher; they must pragmatically determine problems in the network and rapidly resolve them. Typically, service must be assured in an end-to-end environment management by a wide range of technologies --- Internet, ISO/CCITT, and otherwise. If network management is to meet needs of such network operators, an "ecumenical" approach to MIBs is required that marries the work of these standards for a thus providing a comprehensive and consistent view of networked resources. An end-to-end approach is needed, one that conceals differences of protocol and presents the consolidated view of distributed resources to network operators, system administrators and programmers. This implies a common MIB independent of protocol. One way to arrive at this is to pursue comprehensive and mechanizable procedures to assist in translating MIB specifications. This should allow rapid sharing of MIB specifications while requiring minimal technical and political intervention by human beings. What you are reading is a contribution toward this end, a heuristic procedure to translate from ISO/CCITT GDMO MIB specifications to the Internet MIB macro specifications. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 5 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 This translation procedure is written with four objectives in mind: - Lose as little functionality as possible in translation. - Minimize need for human involvement to translate. - Minimize cost to implement dual protocol and proxy-based applications. - Support generic network models that span many computer platforms and network elements. While an entirely mechanized translation from an ISO/CCITT GDMO MIB to an Internet MIB is not always possible, the intent is to mechanize the process as much as possible and supply reasonable defaults that then may be tempered with human judgment. In the longer term, MIBs translated in this manner might be used in conjunction with a proxy architecture that enables interworking between ISO/CCITT managers and Internet agents, or vice versa. Following is a procedure for translating management information bases (MIB's) from ISO/CCITT Guidelines for Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) format to that of the Internet MIB macro format [RFC1212]. The body of this document has five parts: - This introduction, including motivation and objectives for the translation. - The translation procedure itself. - Constraints on use of the SNMP with MIBs translated by this procedure. - Summary. Sample inputs and translated outputs are also provided in an appendix. Examples used throughout the body of the text are taken from these samples. The following outstanding issues have been identified for inclusion in future versions of this document. - This procedure is based on current Internet SMI standards, but should be extended to also cover proposed SNMPv2 SMI standards. This is a definite requirement for Issue 1 of this algorithm. - Certain input "pragmas" may be appropriate to document human overrides to algorithmic translation in a systematic and machine readable form. Among other things, this might facilitate generation of proxies. Pragmas, however, are beyond the scope of Issue 1. This paper assumes the existence of appropriate mechanisms and procedures for registry of translated objects. What Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 6 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 those procedures might be and where such objects should be registered, however, is beyond the scope of this document. 1.4 Terms and Conventions The reader is assumed to be familiar with the vocabularies of Internet and ISO/CCITT management; in cases where there might be confusion between the two, words such as "ISO/CCITT", "GDMO" and "Internet" are inserted to avoid ambiguity. The following conventions are used throughout the paper: The terms "class" and "attribute" when expressed in lower case are generic, referring either to ISO/CCITT MANAGED OBJECT CLASS's and ATTRIBUTE's (respectively) or their translated Internet MIB counterparts. The term "arc" means a single level of branching within an Abstract Syntax Notation One(ASN.1) registration tree. The terms "enumerate" and "explode" are used synonymously to describe the process of translating ATTRIBUTE's and their values to OBJECT TYPE macros. A "registry family" is defined to be a set of ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER arcs and node shaving a common immediate parent. Footnotes explore aspects of the translation procedure where human judgment may be especially advisable, rather than accepting the raw output of a translator. 2. Translation Procedures 2.1 Relationship to RFC1212 While translation per se has not been widely investigated, [RFC1212] does provide advice for adopting MIB objects from ISO/CCITT GDMO to Internet MIB macros. However, RFC 1212 advises a minimalistic approach to MIB specification, discouraging carryover of the complexities often found in ISO/CCITT GDMO specifications. Thus, it does not so much tell how to translate a MIB as provide advice for borrowing elements of a ISO/CCITT GDMO specification and constructing a MIB more in keeping with Internet philosophy. The translation procedure provided here seeks instead to provide as faithful a translation as possible, in order to support the objectives identified in section 1.2 above. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 7 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 As applicable, the subsections are divided into one or more of the following parts: - Relevant advice quoted verbatim from RFC1212. Beware that the entire RFC is not quoted here. The reader is referred to the source for complete text. - Additional constraints are identified to allow as comprehensive and mechanizable an approach as possible. - Discussion of the translation procedure is provided as guidance to the reader. 2.2 Mapping of Managed Object Classes and Attributes 2.2.1 RFC 1212 Advice ... The next step is to categorize the objects into groups. For experimental MIB's, optional objects are permitted. However, when a MIB module is placed in the Internet- standard space, these optional objects are either removed, or placed in an optional group, which, if implemented, all objects in the group must be implemented. For the first pass, it is wisest to simply ignore any optional objects in the original MIB: experience shows it is better to define a core MIB module first, containing only essential objects; later, if experience demands, other objects can be added. It must be emphasized that groups are "units of conformance" within a MIB: everything in a group is "mandatory" and implementations do either whole groups or none. Next for each managed object class, determine whether there can exist multiple instances of that managed object class. If not, then for each of its attributes, use the OBJECT TYPE macro to make an equivalent definition. Otherwise, if multiple instances of the managed object class can exist, then define a conceptual table having conceptual rows each containing a columnar object for each of the managed object class's attributes. If the managed object class is contained within the containment tree of another managed object class, then the assignment of an object type is normally required for each of the "distinguished attributes" of the containing managed object class. If they do not already exist within the MIB module, then they can be added via the definition of additional columnar objects in the conceptual row corresponding to the contained managed object class. In defining a conceptual row, it is useful to consider the optimization of network management operations which will act upon its columnar objects. In particular, it is wisest to avoid defining more columnar objects within a conceptual Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 8 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 row, than can fit in a single PDU. As a rule of thumb, a conceptual row should contain no more than approximately 20 objects. Similarly, or as a way to abide by the "20 object guideline", columnar objects should be grouped into tables according to the expected grouping of network management operations upon them. As such, the content of conceptual rows should reflect typical access scenarios, e.g., they should be organized along functional lines such as one row for statistics and another row for parameters, or along usage lines such as commonly-needed objects versus rarely- needed objects. On the other hand, the definition of conceptual rows where the number of columnar objects used as indexes outnumbers the number used to hold information, should also be avoided. In particular, the splitting of a managed object class's attributes into many conceptual tables should not be used as a way to obtain the same degree of flexibility/complexity as is often found in MIB's with a myriad of optionality. 2.2.2 Additional Constraints This subsection addresses: - Mapping of MANAGED OBJECT CLASSES and Distinguished Names. - Mapping of PACKAGE's. It deals only with the high level procedures for mapping ISO/CCITT GDMO MANAGED OBJECT CLASSES and ATTRIBUTE's into Internet MIB macros. Enumeration of individual ATTRIBUTE values is addressed in subsection 2.3. 2.2.2.1 Mapping of MANAGED OBJECT CLASSES and Distinguished Names Translation of a registry family of MANAGED OBJECT CLASS specifications begins by - Allocating the root of a registry subtree to contain the translated objects. - Assigning a brief naming prefix that distinguishes contents of a corresponding ASN.1 module generated by the translation. The module itself is registered at the root of the registry subtree. Note: Assignment of naming prefixes and registry subtrees are required activities, however, procedures for these are outside the scope of this paper For each MANAGED OBJECT CLASS of the input registry family, define a corresponding Internet MIB object group, its "class group" Reserve an arc for each of these, keeping the same Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 9 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 relative arc number as is assigned to its equivalent MANAGED OBJECT CLASS in the input ISO/CCITT GDMO registry. Avoid registration of ISO/CCITT objects under arc zero(0) by using the value 16,384 instead. For each class group define one Internet MIB table --- a "class table" --- that represents the class as a whole. Assign this table arc number 1 beneath the arc of the class group. As will be further discussed in subsection 2.3 below, "side tables" will also often be required for a class group to support multi-valued ATTRIBUTE's and ATTRIBUTE's with complex syntaxes. Assign arcs for side tables in ascending order beneath the arc of the class group beginning with arc number two. Note: Since all ATTRIBUTE's expand into class tables or side tables, class groups generated by the algorithm never contain scalar values. For each table in the class group, define a table entry object and syntax consistent with RFC 1212 usage for table entries. For the entries of each class table, begin by allocating the following conceptual columns and associated arcs: - Leg 0 beneath the class entry arc is reserved (by the Internet Structure of Management Information (SMI)). - Assign leg 1 the delete object, a write-only INTEGER for which 0 indicates deletion of the corresponding conceptual row. - Leg 2 of the arc is assigned the "class entry index," an INTEGER valued object that provides the unique index for an entry to the class table. This distinguishes an instance of an object within its class. The value of the class entry index is a component of the "class entry instance." The latter identifies both an object's class and the unique instance within that class. This value is used in the translated MIB instead of Distinguished Name's and ObjectInstance's that represent relationships between managed objects. As discussed later, no direct translation of Distinguished Names is attempted. The class entry instance is arrived at by concatenating: -- The OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the class table entry. -- The value 2 (arc number for the class entry index) -- The value of the class entry index for the instance in question. Note: Where "concatenating" means arriving at a simple combined sequence of arc values, without repeat counts or nesting. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 10 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 Entries of side tables begin in similar fashion: - Leg 0 is reserved. - Leg 1 is assigned the delete object. - Leg 2 of the arc is assigned the class entry index, which has the same value as the corresponding class entry index of the class table. This ties side table entries to their corresponding class table entry. - Leg 3 of the arc is assigned the first (and typically only) "value index"; this distinguishes a particular value of a multi-valued attribute or syntax from the other values. - Legs 4-19 of the arc can be assigned if necessary to provide additional entry value indices. These are needed only for nested multiply occurring syntaxes. Note: The mapping of multiply occurring elements of syntaxes is discussed further in later sections. While supported for completeness, multi-dimensional values represent an extreme case. Caution should be used in adopting the raw output of the algorithm for complex syntaxes. 2.2.2.2 Mapping of PACKAGE's In reading this section the reader may wish to refer to Figures 1 and 2, which illustrate the input and output subtrees of the sample MIB (Appendix A). Note that for this example, the Trouble Administration module is rooted beneath an (optional) version arc, to facilitate future releases.

Sample Input Registration Tree All else being equal, enumerate ATTRIBUTE's based upon a left-to-right scanning of the input ISO/CCITT GDMO specification. ATTRIBUTE's and their values may be enumerated multiple times in the course of translating a specification, once for every template in which they are referenced. For example, if an attribute is included in the PACKAGE's of two MANAGED OBJECT CLASS's, it will be enumerated twice in the output: once for each class group. Enumerate ATTRIBUTE's and their values in the same sequence as declared in a PACKAGE. These translate to OBJECT TYPE's that, unless otherwise noted below, receive successive arcs in the output registry tree. Enumerate all components of base classes before those of their derivative classes. Thus where a package is refined by a subclass, first enumerate all components of the base class, keeping the sequence of the base class PACKAGE's. Explode ATTRIBUTE's of a derivative class later, enumerating in the order of specification for that class.

Sample Output Registration Tree Reserve at least ten arcs for future growth for each level of derivation, i.e., take the highest arc number of the base class, add ten and round upwards to the nearest even multiple of ten, to determine the first arc number assigned to the derivative class. For multiple inheritance, enumerate contents of base classes left-to-right and depth first, i.e., enumerate all components attributable to one immediate base class before proceeding to the next. In this case also reserve arcs for future growth by adding ten and rounding up to the nearest even multiple of ten. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 13 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.2.3 Discussion 2.2.3.1 Mapping of MANAGED OBJECT CLASSES and Distinguished Names RFC 1212 recommends defining a table for every object group that can be multiply occurring within an agent. It would be very unusual for a MANAGED OBJECT CLASS not to have potentially multiple occurrences, especially given a generic network model that spans systems. Thus to simplify translation, all object classes map to tables. This approach has several advantages: - It supports default values for new object instances. - It is easy to mechanize, since there is no need to recognize special cases that are not multiply occurring. - It simplifies programming of proxy or dual protocol agents, since the programmer is dealing with basically the same syntax for scalar items, regardless of protocol. The last point applies to both programming effort and processing overhead. To the extent the elements of syntax are mapped one-to-one, and underlying syntax is similar or identical for both protocols, they can be manipulated with common code and common data structures. This simplifies translation from both the programming and run-time perspectives. The notion of a class entry instance is introduced since direct translation of Distinguished Name's appears impractical for the following reasons: - A possible ambiguity arises since NAME BINDING's allow different object instances of the same MANAGED OBJECT CLASS to exist under parent objects of different classes. Likewise, different classes can have the same syntax for their distinguished attribute(s). Thus, a concatenation of attribute values is not sufficient to uniquely distinguish an object instance. - NAME BINDING's allow different instances of the same class to be subordinate to different types of parent and even allow instances of a class to be contained recursively within others of the same class. Thus, in directly translating the DN one cannot assume a fixed sequence of parameters as required for by the INDEX clause (DN's for different instances of the same object class may be have different numbers of RDN's). - Both problems could in theory be circumvented by fully translating the Distinguished Name and incorporating Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 14 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 Attribute Type's as well as Attribute Value's into the subidentifier OID (in which case the INDEX clause would only need to specify one index, an OBJECT IDENTIFIER). While the latter is in theory possible, it would result in exceedingly verbose subidentifiers, on the order of 70 octets rather than 7. This is of serious concern due to PDU length restrictions for SNMP. RFC 1212 proposes a "rule of twenty," i.e., no more than twenty attributes per operation. That guideline was designed for relatively compact subidentifiers. When using an RDN for an INDEX, this would more likely amount to a "rule of three," which is why comprehensive translation of the ISO/CCITT DN to an INDEX appears practical. The result of this approach is that Distinguished Names are NOT translated at all. Similar functionality (naming of objects) is instead provided by OBJECT IDENTIFIERS that identify the table entries which corresponding to MANAGED OBJECTs. The indexes of these tables are arbitrary integers that have no significance other than discriminate between the entries of a table. In general, all management information that is mapped by this specification to OBJECT- TYPEs is mapped to tables that have one or more arbitrary indexes of type INTEGER. Class table entries in particular have exactly one index. For the following reasons, attributes of TOP are not directly translated into OBJECT TYPE's: - Most of these notions will be unfamiliar to the Internet user and thus their presence would add questionable value. - Multi-valued attributes would require additional side tables for all object class groups, which would be cumbersome. - Managed object class is implicit in the class prefix thus does not require a special attribute. - An allomorphs attribute is supported in ISO/CCITT to allow dynamic recognition of allomorphs which are supported by an instance. Since Internet MIB does not support allomorphs at all --- much less dynamic ones --- there is no reason to list them. - There is no notion of NAME BINDING's for Internet MIB. NAME BINDING rules must still be enforced for the translated MIB, and should be documented via comments in the Internet MIB specifications. However, there seems to be no point in providing this attribute to the Internet user in the run time environment. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 15 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 - Presence or absence of conditional packages can be detected using a GetNextRequest and determining whether the conceptual rows returned are the same as expected. No special attribute is needed for this purpose. The ocNameBindingTable of the ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB provides a mechanism by which name bindings can be inspected, also provided upon object creation. This feature is included for completeness and to avoid ambiguity. It is unlikely to be used often, so it is placed in a table rather than enumerated in the class tables. 2.2.3.2 Mapping of PACKAGE's Left-to-right sequential enumeration is the obvious approach for a mechanized translation procedure. While ISO/CCITT GDMO allows ATTRIBUTE's and ASN.1 syntaxes to be referenced in multiple places and thus be shared, Internet MIB format does not. Thus one or more OBJECT TYPE's must be specified for each template in which they are referenced. The consequent explosion of enumerated ATTRIBUTE's and ASN.1 syntaxes is a major motivation for a mechanizable procedure and mechanized translation aids. 2.3 Mapping to the SYNTAX clause 2.3.1 RFC 1212 Advice When mapping to the SYNTAX clause of the OBJECT TYPE macro: (1) An object with BOOLEAN syntax becomes an INTEGER taking either of values true(1) or false(2). (2) An object with ENUMERATED syntax becomes an INTEGER, taking any of the values given. (3) An object with BIT STRING syntax containing no more than 32 bits becomes an INTEGER defined as a sum; otherwise if more than 32 bits are present, the object becomes an OCTETSTRING, with the bits numbered from left-to-right, in which the least significant bits of the last octet may be "reserved for future use." (4) An object with a character string syntax becomes either an OCTETSTRING or a DisplayString, depending on the repertoire of the character string. (5) An non-tabular object with a complex syntax, such as REAL or EXTERNAL, must be decomposed, usually into an OCTET Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 16 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 STRING (if sensible). As a rule, any object with a complicated syntax should be avoided. (6) Tabular objects must be decomposed into rows of columnar objects. 2.3.2 Additional Constraints 2.3.2.1 Simple Input Syntax Following are rules for translating non-constructed (scalar)syntax. For ENUMERATED types, transform to INTEGER, with values of (0) mapped to (32767). Where ISO/CCITT management allows certain forms to be present or not present on a case by case basis (i.e., conditional packages and ASN.1 OPTIONAL and CHOICE syntaxes)enumerate all possibilities and allow corresponding conceptual columns to be conditionally present on a row-by- row basis. For CHOICE types, provide an OBJECT TYPE for every alternative and populate exactly one of these alternatives per conceptual row. For ASN.1 string types, use DisplayString whenever the character set actually expected in the element is a subset of DisplayString, else specify OCTET STRING. In general, treat a constructed type that contains no more than one scalar (e.g., various forms of string specialization) as if it were the contained scalar. ANY's and ANY DEFINED BY's map to OCTET STRING's that contain the BER encoded values of the corresponding ASN.1 types. 2.3.2.2.Complex Input Syntax Map compound constructors (those that may contain multiple scalars) to SEQUENCES --- including SET syntaxes. Expansion of compound constructors sometimes requires definition of "side tables," ancillary tables within the object group that supplement the main table representing the ISO/CCITT GDMO managed object class. The rules for making side tables are applied recursively and are as follows: Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 17 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 - For a given level of nesting, if the ISO/CCITT GDMO ASN.1 syntax is SEQUENCE (not SEQUENCE OF) or SET (not SET OF) enumerate its scalar elements "in-line" without constructing a new side table, and otherwise treat them as if scalars. - Otherwise (SEQUENCE OF or SET OF) enumerate the scalar elements of the SEQUENCE or SET in a new side table that is a "child" of the current table. Since this may happen recursively, a side table may be a child of another side table. - The INDEX of a child table is that of its parent concatenated with a value index that uniquely distinguishes instances within the child table. 2.3.3 Discussion 2.3.3.1 Simple Input Syntax Internet SMI precludes a value of zero and some compilers won't take it. 32767 is a number that practically any machine architecture can support and is large enough so it should not conflict with any enumerated actually specified. Allowing optional conceptual columns within rows is not consistent with the philosophy of RFC 1212, but neither are the MIB's the procedure seeks to translate. However, optional columns can be accommodated by SNMP using the GetNext request. In that case protocol returns inconsistent object ID prefixes for any non-present objects, rather than an error condition. 2.3.3.2 Complex Input Syntax This is the messiest part of the translation process but cannot be avoided given that the ISO/CCITT GDMO information model is to be carried over. One way of looking at this is that constructed types are put in "third normal form," i.e., broken up into a set of flat tables each of which has a unique key. In EVERY case that key is comprised of one or more ARBITRARY indexes of type INTEGER. The class table entries have exactly one such index. Multi-valued attributes are represented as side tables that typically have two indexes: the first BEING the index of the corresponding class table entry and the second an arbitrary integer that distinguishes one attribute value from another for the multi-valued case. If a set valued ATTRIBUTE contained a multiply occurring syntax (e.g., SEQUENCE OF) that would map to a side table with three indexes of type INTEGER: first, the index of the class table entry, second, Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 18 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 the index of the attribute value, and third, the index of the multiply occurrence of the syntax. There is no need for explicit pointers from class table entries to side tables or vice versa. Given the index of a side table entry, one can find the corresponding class table entry since the class arc is known and the subidentifier is also known, i.e., the first index of the side table. Likewise, knowing the arc for a side table and the index of a corresponding class entry, one can use the side table arc suffixed by the index in a GetNextRequest to discover the first entry in the side table. There is a convention in the Internet world that the key of a table references only attributes contained within that table. The translation procedure honors that practice by defining distinct OBJECT TYPE's for all indices of side tables, although though a child table only has only one index with a different value from its parent's. There may very well be a "natural key" for multi-valued syntax, e.g., an address or name. In this case, an artificial index may be inappropriate. Human judgment must weigh whether there is a "natural" key and whether the length of the associated subidentifier would be permissible for purposes of indexing. Note: It is not recommended that natural keys be used for the INDEX parameter of a class table as that will result in very long subidentifiers and complicate allocation of indexes for new object creation. Human judgment can be used to supplement class entry indices with side tables that provide secondary indices that support access based on natural keys. There is no need to actually access OBJECT TYPES that correspond to table indices --- you would have to know them first to read them, and they can't be changed. Therefore, their ACCESS clauses specify not-accessible. 2.4 Generation of Internet MIB Identifiers 2.4.1 Translation Procedure This discussion has two parts: - Definition of notation for mapping rules. - Rules for name mapping, with examples. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 19 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.4.1.1 Notation <ASN.1 id> Identifier of a production rule specified using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), e.g., "AccessTimeLocationList." <ATTRIBUTE id> Identifier used for ATTRIBUTE template, e.g.,"Trouble ReportCancelRequestedByManager." <MANAGEDOBJECT Identifier used for MANAGED OBJECT CLASS template, e.g.,"TroubleReport." CLASS id> <module prefix> An arbitrary literal assigned to the ASN.1 module to be generated, e.g., "t1TA." <n> A decimal string literal indicating the dimension represented by a value index of a side table. The first dimension corresponds to the instance of the managed object (i.e., class index) and <n> is not concatenated in its name. <n> is null valued for the second dimension, which is usually the greatest dimension, i.e., the standard multi-valued attribute. Values of <n> for higher dimensions are decimal literals assigned in ascending sequence starting with "3," i.e., "3," "4," etc. Note: This option is included for completeness. This is a good example of a case where human judgment should be used before carrying over full functionality between MIB's. Figure 3. Variables for Generating Identifiers The following notation is used to specify mapping rules: - Symbols enclosed in quotes are literals. - Symbols enclosed in angle brackets ("<>") are variables that have different string values depending on instance or context. Figure 3 describes the variables. - Double upended bars ("||") signify the concatenation operator. For this operator, literals are concatenated without modification. When concatenating a variable however, its first character of its value string is promoted to upper case. Strings are concatenated without Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 20 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 intervening punctuation or white space to arrive at the resulting identifier. 2.4.1.2. Mapping Rules The following table provides mapping rules for generating Internet MIB identifiers. An example is provided for each rule, based on the sample inputs and outputs of Appendix A. Identifier Syntax and Example class table <module prefix>||<MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id>||"Table" e.g., t1TATroubleReportTable class <module prefix>||<MANAGED OBJECT (table)entry CLASSid>||"TableEntry" e.g., t1TATroubleReportTableEntry class entry <module prefix> || <MANAGED OBJECT CLASSid> delete flag || "Delete" e.g., t1TATroubleReportDelete class entry <module prefix> || <MANAGED OBJECTCLASS id> index of class || "Index" table e.g., t1TATroubleReportIndex conceptual row <module prefix> ||<MANAGED OBJECT id> CLASS of class table || <ATTRIBUTE id> || <ASN.1 id> e.g., t1TATroubleReport side table <module prefix> || <MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id> || <ATTRIBUTE id>|| <ASN.1 id>* || "Table" e.g.,t1TATroubleReportAccessTimeLocationList Table side (table) <module prefix> ||<MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id> entry ||<ATTRIBUTE id> || "TableEntry" e.g., t1TATroubleReportAccessTimeLocationList TableEntry side entry <module prefix>|| <MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id> delete flag || "Delete" e.g., t1TATroubleReportAccessTimeLocationList Delete class entry <moduleprefix> || <MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id> index of side || <ATTRIBUTE id> || "ClassIndex" table e.g., t1TATroubleReportAccessTimeLocationList ClassIndex value index of <module prefix> || <MANAGED OBJECT CLASS id> side table || <ATTRIBUTE id> || "ValueIndex" || <n> e.g., t1TATroubleReportAccessTimeLocationList ValueIndex Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 21 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 Figure 4. Mapping Rules for Generating Identifiers * Note: The <ASN.1 id> is only present in the names of side table objects when its presence is necessary to unambiguously distinguish the table in question. The identifier for the syntax for a (class or side) table entry is the same as that of the table entry itself except the first character is promoted to upper case, e.g., "T1TATroubleReportTableEntry." 2.4.2 Discussion This approach is verbose but can be mechanized and ambiguities and collisions should be rare. It has the further advantage that names can be used for C language program variables without further manipulation. Separating constituent ids with hyphens would increase readability and decrease likelihood of ambiguity. Unfortunately, many Internet MIB compilers do not allow this. In cases where the same ATTRIBUTE appears in more than one PACKAGE included in a MANAGED OBJECT CLASS, manual intervention is necessary to assign distinct identifiers for the corresponding OBJECT TYPE's. 2.5 Mapping to the ACCESS clause 2.5.1 RFC 1212 Advice This is straight-forward. 2.5.2 Discussion Note that ADD-REMOVE and REPLACE map to "write," while GET maps to "read." There is no direct mapping to SET-TO- DEFAULT, since SNMP requires values be explicitly set for existing objects. PERMITTED VALUES are not directly mapped in the Internet MIB but need to be understood by the management station. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 22 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.6 Mapping to the STATUS clause 2.6.1 RFC 1212 Advice This is usually straight-forward; however, some osified-MIBs use the term "recommended." In this case, a choice must be made between "mandatory" and "optional." 2.6.2 Additional Constraints The translation procedure always uses mandatory. 2.6.3 Discussion Human judgment can qualify this as necessary. 2.7 Mapping to the DESCRIPTION clause 2.7.1 RFC 1212 Advice This is straight-forward: simply copy the text, making sure that any embedded double quotation marks are sanitized (i.e., replaced with single-quotes or removed). 2.8 Mapping to the REFERENCE clause 2.8.1 RFC 1212 Advice This is straight-forward: simply include a textual reference to the object being mapped, the document which defines the object, and perhaps a page number in the document. 2.8.2 Additional Constraints The translation procedure transcribes the registry of the ATTRIBUTE to the corresponding OBJECT-TYPE REFERENCE clause, which ensures that proper ASN.1 syntax for the values of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs is retained. If any additional information is to be provided in this value, it must be provided to the left of the machine readable ASN.1 syntax and separated from it by a colon, e.g., "ISO 10165-2: joint- iso-ccitt ms (9) smi(3) part2(2)attribute(7)". This facilitates generation of proxies. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 23 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.9 Mapping to the INDEX clause 2.9.1 RFC 1212 Advice Decide how instance-identifiers for columnar objects are to be formed and define this clause accordingly. 2.9.2 Additional Constraints Use the class entry index's for the table and any containing table, as discussed previously. This keeps the index for any particular kind of table constant and predictable. 2.10 Mapping to the DEFVAL clause 2.10.1 RFC 1212 Advice Decide if a meaningful default value can be assigned to the object being mapped, and if so, define the DEFVAL clause accordingly. 2.10.2 Additional Constraints Please see the previous sections on mapping of managed objects and syntaxes. 2.11 Translation of Actions 2.11.1 RFC 1212 Advice 2.11.1.1 General Advice Actions are modeled as read-write objects, in which writing a particular value results in the action taking place. Usually an INTEGER syntax is used with a distinguished value provided for each action that the object provides access to. In addition, there is usually one other distinguished value, which is the one returned when the object is read. 2.11.1.2 Mapping to the ACCESS clause Always use read-write. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 24 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.11.1.3 Mapping to the STATUS clause This is straight-forward. 2.11.1.4 Mapping to the DESCRIPTION clause This is straight-forward: simply copy the text, making sure that any embedded double quotation marks are sanitized (i.e., replaced with single-quotes or removed). 2.11.1.5 Mapping to the REFERENCE clause This is straight-forward: simply include a textual reference to the action being mapped, the document which defines the action, and perhaps a page number in the document. 2.11.2 Discussion This is one of the areas where mechanization can at best be an aid, rather than an automatic solution, to translation. The RFC 1212 advice provides a point of departure in this regard. 2.12 Translation of Notifications 2.12.1 Approach This subsection provides a method whereby notifications are translated to traps. This method provides the basis for translation of standard Definition of Management Information (DMI) [ISO10165-2] NOTIFICATIONs to traps as reflected in the ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB of Appendix B. Since use of traps is strongly discouraged in the Internet community and there is no filtering mechanism in SNMP, such translation should be done very sparingly. In particular, - Mapping of notifications to traps should always have a documented justification. - Wherever such mapping is deemed necessary, the standard traps provided in Appendix B of this specification should be used, if applicable. Where translation of NOTIFICATIONs is necessary, the following method can be used: (1) For each input registry subtree in which there are NOTIFICATIONs or ATTRIBUTEs to be translated, establish a corresponding output registry subtree to hold the translated Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 25 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 MIB (in the example of Appendix B, the output subtrees are onSMI2toInternetNotification and onSMI2toInternetAttributeID respectively). A separate ASN.1 module is generated for each subtree in which NOTIFICATIONs to be translated are registered. Mappings of corresponding ATTRIBUTEs are also incorporated in each such output module, which may lead to objects (VARIABLES) of the same registry appearing in different ASN.1 modules. The registration of the resulting ASN.1 module is the same as that of the root of the output registry subtree assigned for notifications. Mnemonic naming of the output module is encouraged but outside the scope of this specification. Assign a naming prefix for translated ATTRIBUTEs and NOTIFICATIONs. This must start with a lower case letter ("on" is the prefix for translated notifications in Appendix B). Editor's Note: [Should we consider auto registry of the MIB module] (2) For each notification to be mapped list its: identifier; arc within its input registry subtree; and mandatory ATTRIBUTEs. For mandatory ATTRIBUTEs, also list the corresponding syntaxes resolved to. (3) For each syntax identified in (2), determine a mapping to the Concise MIB domain. The mapping rules are the same as for subsection 2.3 (Mapping to the SYNTAX Clause) above, but with added constraints that resulting syntax must be scalar and of fixed type (not a CHOICE). Where the rules of subsection 2.3 do not yield such a form, the syntax of DisplayString is used (as a default). This is an area in which human judgment will often be required following deterministic translation. (4) Define an OBJECT-TYPE (variable) for each ATTRIBUTE identified in (2): - The identifier of the resulting object is arrived at by promoting the first character of the input identifier to upper case and prepending the prefix of (1). Thus for example eventTime becomes onEventTime given the prefix "on." - The value for the ACCESS clause is always not- accessible. - The value of the STATUS clause is always mandatory. - The value of the REFERENCE clause reflects the registration of the input ATTRIBUTE. The value for this Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 26 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 clause also follows the convention for machine readability described in subsection 2.7. - The value of the DESCRIPTION clause is taken from the BEHAVIOUR DEFINED AS parameter, if any. This value is otherwise empty. This clause will often need to be supplemented by comments, and should be manually edited if the full semantics cannot be carried over due to syntactical or other restrictions. - The applicable syntax selected in step (3) is used for the value of the SYNTAX clause. - The (relative) leg number for the output registry is the same as for the input registry. (5) For each input notification, define a corresponding TRAP-TYPE: - The identifier of the resulting trap is the same as for the notification except that its first letter is promoted to upper case and the prefix provided in (1) is prepended. For example, "objectCreation" maps to "onObjectCreation" given the prefix "on". - The VARIABLES parameter reflects all mandatory ATTRIBUTEs as identified in(2) and translated in (4), plus two variables that are always present: onManagedObjectInstance and onAdditionalText. - The text of the description is the same as for the BEHAVIOUR DEFINED AS parameter of the corresponding NOTIFICATION, if any. - The REFERENCE clause reflects the registry of the input NOTIFICATION, using the conventions as for machine readability established in subsection 2.7 above. - The relative leg number for the output registry (ENTERPRISE clause) is the same as for the input registry. 2.12.2 Discussion Limitations of this procedure reflect basic functional differences between the CMIP and SNMP, with much necessarily lost in translation. In particular, SNMP Version 1 provides no mechanism for filtering traps at the source, and the Internet community frowns on the usage of traps in any case. Thus anyone translating a MIB according to this procedure should avoid translating NOTIFICATIONs without good reason. Where this cannot be avoided, only the minimum necessary functionality Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 27 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 should be carried over --- and the justification for this should be documented. Such decisions should be made on a class by class, NOTIFICATION by NOTIFICATION and even ATTRIBUTE by ATTRIBUTE basis. While translated DMI NOTIFICATIONs are provided here for the sake of completeness, it may never be appropriate to use some of these traps. The method described in the preceding subsection can be mechanized. However, at best this will provide the human translator with default options and a point of departure for making hard choices. The mapping of all ATTRIBUTE syntaxes to scalar types simplifies mapping of identifiers and facilitates auto registry. Notwithstanding, this approach can in certain cases be ugly and even unworkable. However, that seems to be the case for any deterministic procedure. Human judgment and intervention will often be required. Consider for example the following. One could deal with optional syntax by defining different variables for reporting all optional forms. At the same time one could define "null" values for each variable. Variables for all options could then be passed in a trap message, with exactly one of them non-empty. However, specification of null values is messy and does not lend itself to automation. This also complicates assignment of identifiers and arcs, since there is a one-to-many mapping. Furthermore, passing of empty parameters is inefficient and complicates the work of a manager, which must determine which variable is "real." In any case, this approach does not address multi-valued ATTRIBUTEs --- only CHOICEs. For the translated DMI NOTIFICATIONs of Appendix B, multi- valued ATTRIBUTEs are dealt with(as necessary) by issuing separate traps for each attribute value. This is perhaps not unreasonable for a default approach. For example, it might be appropriate for reporting certain kinds of ATTRIBUTE change such as state changes. However, this approach should be used VERY, VERY SPARINGLY if at all. The onAdditionalInformation field provides a place to put additional information otherwise lost in translation (e.g., non-mandatory or multi-valued ATTRIBUTE values). The implementor should populate this field with self-defining information that can easily be understood by operations personnel. The onManagedObjectInstance variable is used in lieu of the ManagedObjectClass and ManagedObjectInstance parameters provided by CMIP. Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 28 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 2.13 Translation of Delete Operations 2.13.1 RFC 1212 Advice Nonetheless, it is highly useful to provide a means whereby a conceptual row may be removed from a table. In MIB-II, this was achieved by defining, for each conceptual row, an integer-value columnar object. If a management station sets the value of this object to some value, usually termed "invalid," then the effect is one of invalidating the corresponding row in the table. However, it is an implementation-specific matter as to whether an agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the columnar object indicating the in-use status. 2.13.2 Discussion To simplify mechanized translation, the DELETE operation is provided for all tables, rather than trying to determine which ones support manager-initiated DELETE operations. 2.14 Translation of Create Operations 2.14.1 RFC 1212 Advice It is also highly useful to have a clear understanding of how a conceptual row may be added to a table. In Internet, at the protocol level, a management station issues an SNMP set operation containing an arbitrary set of variable bindings. In the case that an agent detects that one or more of those variable bindings refers to an object instance not currently available in that agent, it may, according to the rules of the SNMP, behave according to any of the following paradigms: (1) It may reject the SNMP set operation as referring to non-existent object instances by returning a response with the error-status field set to "noSuchName" and the error- index field set to refer to the first vacuous reference. (2) It may accept the SNMP set operation as requesting the creation of new object instances corresponding to each of the object instances named in the variable bindings. The value of each (potentially) newly created object instance is specified by the "value" component of the relevant variable binding. In this case, if the request specifies a value for Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 29 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 a newly (or previously) created object that it deems inappropriate by reason of value orsyntax, then it rejects the SNMP set operation by responding with the error-status field set to badValue and the error-index field set to refer to the first offending variable binding. (3) It may accept the SNMP set operation and create new object instances as described in (2) above and, in addition, at its discretion, create supplemental object instances to complete a row in a conceptual table of which the new object instances specified in the request may be a part. It should be emphasized that all three of the above behaviors are fully conformant to the SNMP specification and are fully acceptable, subject to any restrictions which may be imposed by access control and/or the definitions of the MIB objects themselves. 2.14.2 Additional Constraints Be very sparing in allowing Internet manager initiated object creation. A table of parents and a table of name bindings are provided in the ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB so that a parent can be specified when creating an object. 2.14.3 Discussion To create an object mapping into the ISO/CCITT world requires that its parent be known, hence the parent table. A child table is also provided to allow general navigation of the MIB tree. The name binding table is necessary to determine the object identifier associated with each parent/child binding. An SNMP SetRequest needs to contain enough information to create an internally consistent object from the ISO/CCITT perspective. The SNMP PDU size restriction could be a problem here. 3 Constraints on SNMP Usage The following constraints apply when using SNMP with a MIB translated by this procedure. Editor's Note: [In this draft, the term "SNMP" implies SNMPv1. Support for SNMPv2 is to be added in the next draft.] Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 30 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 3.1 Approach The following assumptions about use of the SNMP are made to facilitate MIB translation: - The management station will expect that conditional attributes may not be present on a per conceptual row basis and will act appropriately, e.g., use GetNextRequest to test for presence. - The management station will expect that access actually granted may be less than stated in the MIB specification due to dynamic access controls; in such cases it may receive error-status of readOnly --- even for an SNMP GetRequest. - A management station creating a new entry in a class or side table must first acquire an appropriate index for doing so. This is accomplished by reading a value from the appropriate row of the ocNextUniqueIndexTable provided in the "ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB" (see Appendix B subsection 2). The index of this table is an object ID, i.e., the ID of one of the tables generated by this algorithm. The output (reading the ocNextUniqueIndex conceptual column of the indicated conceptual row) is a unique integer subidentifier to be used for creating a new conceptual row in the table of interest. Typically, a different value is returned each time an ocNextUniqueIndex column is read. The subidentifier returned by ocNextUniqueIndex is guaranteed to be unique within its table within an agent. - Creation of a class or side table entry requires that the associated SNMP SetRequest PDU include: * a valid pre-allocated subidentifier for that table, * initial values for those attributes that must be present (which however may be allowed to default). and * in the case of a class table entry, class entry instance of a valid parent object to be inserted in the parent table. If any of these conditions are not met, noSuchName error-status is returned. - If a management station attempts to delete an object or attribute value for which deletion is not permitted (for any reason) error-status of readOnly is returned. - A management station must be prepared to receive badValue error-status when a SetRequest operation attempts to set an attribute to a value inconsistent with other Newnan Expires August 27, 1993 Page 31 Draft Translation of ISO/CCITT MIBs to Internet MIBs 3/26/93 attribute values according to the object's BEHAVIOR or PERMITTED VALUES specifications. 3.2 Discussion To support create operations requires that the manager somehow supply a unique subidentifier. Rather than sub- allocate index ranges to different managers or administer pools on a per-table basis, it seems simplest to have a generic pool administered by the agent on behalf of all managers. As regards error-status values, a "bending" of the rules of SNMP is necessary to map functionality not really supported in the protocol. Thus an off-the-shelf manager should be able to interoperate with an agent that implements a translated MIB but usage of the PDUs will not be entirely conventional. This is particularly true for usage of error- status. 4 Summary Given certain assumptions about the use of SNMP (section 3) and the ancillary ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB (appendix B), this procedure allows mechanized translation of most functionality found in ISO/CCITT MIBs to the world of SNMP. The algorithm preserves basic capability to navigate ISO/CCITT object relationships, i.e., - Location of parents (immediately containing objects), - Location of children (immediately contained objects), and - Location of referenced objects. This approach preserves the capability to create new object instances and attribute values, even for generic network models that subsume multiple computer systems and network elements. Areas in which significant functionality is lost in translation include: - Notification: a minimalistic set of capabilities are provided for basic notifications in the ISO/CCITT Convergence MIB. No attempt is made to provide for filtering or logging of notifications. - Actions: these must be dealt with manually, on a case by case basis.

An informative part that explains how (to what extent) standard Definition of Management Information (ISO/IEC IS 10165-2) notifications are mapped to SNMP traps. This example provides guidance as to how other traps might be mapped, although that should be avoided where possible. (2) ISO/CCITT Convergence--- ASN.1 Definitions. A normative part that provides the translated MIB developed per part (1). B.1. Translation of DMI Notifications to Traps This subsection documents the translation of DMI notifications to traps per steps described in subsection 2.12. The decisions per step (1) are to select the output subtrees onSMI2toInternetNotification and onSMI2toInternetAttributeID, and the prefix "on". Table B-1 reflects the listing of notifications per the procedures of step (2). The abbreviations used for mandatory attributes in this table are defined in Table B-2. Table B-2 itself provides the mapping of ISO/CCITT syntaxes to fixed and scalar types per step (3). This illustrates the complexity of the problem and need for human judgment.
