The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1441 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named
by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to
refer to the object type.
The changes from RFC 1253 are the following:
(1) The textual convention PositiveInteger was changed from
1..'FFFFFFFF'h to 1..'7FFFFFFF'h at the request of
Marshall Rose.
(2) The textual convention TOSType was changed to reflect the
TOS values defined in the Router Requirements Draft, and
in accordance with the IP Forwarding Table MIB's values.
(3) The names of some objects were changed, conforming to the
convention that an acronym (for example, LSA) is a single
word ("Lsa") in most SNMP names.
(4) textual changes were made to make the MIB readable by
Dave Perkins' SMIC MIB Compiler in addition to Mosy.
This involved changing the case of some characters in
certain names and removing the DEFVAL clauses for
Counters.
(5) The variables ospfAreaStatus and ospfIfStatus were added,
having been overlooked in the original MIB.
(6) The range of the variable ospfLsdbType was extended to
include multicastLink (Group-membership LSA) and
nssaExternalLink (NSSA LSA).
(7) The variable ospfIfMetricMetric was renamed
ospfIfMetricValue, and the following text was removed
from its description:
"The value FFFF is distinguished to mean 'no route via
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
this TOS'."
(8) The variable ospfNbmaNbrPermanence was added, with the
values 'dynamic' and 'permanent'; by this means,
dynamically learned and configured neighbors can be
distinguished.
(9) The DESCRIPTION of the variable ospfNbrIpAddr was changed
from
"The IP address of this neighbor."
to
"The IP address this neighbor is using in its IP Source
Address. Note that, on addressless links, this will not
be 0.0.0.0, but the address of another of the neighbor's
interfaces."
This is by way of clarification and does not change the
specification.
(10) The OSPF External Link State Database was added. The
OSPF Link State Database used to display all LSAs stored;
in this MIB, it displays all but the AS External LSAs.
This is because there are usually a large number of
External LSAs, and they are relicated in all non-Stub
Areas.
(11) The variable ospfAreaSummary was added to control the
import of summary LSAs into stub areas. If it is
noAreaSummary (default) the router will neither originate
nor propagate summary LSAs into the stub area. It will
rely entirely on its default route. If it is
sendAreaSummary, the router will both summarize and
propagate summary LSAs.
(12) The general variables ospfExtLsdbLimit and
ExitOverflowInterval were introduced to help handle LSDB
overflow.
(13) The use of the IP Forwarding Table is defined.
(14) The ospfAreaRangeTable was obsoleted and replaced with
the ospfAreaAggregateTable to accommodate two additional
indexes. The ospfAreaAggregateEntry keys now include a
LsdbType (which can be used to differentiate between the
traditional type-3 Aggregates and NSSA Aggregates) and an
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
ospfAreaAggregateMask (which will more clearly express
the range).
(15) The variable ospfAreaAggregateEffect was added. This
permits the network manager to hide a subnet within an
area.
(16) Normally, the border router of a stub area advertises a
default route as an OSPF network summary. An NSSA border
router will generate a type-7 LSA indicating a default
route, and import it into the NSSA. ospfStubMetricType
(ospf internal, type 1 external, or type 2 external)
indicates the type of the default metric advertised.
(17) ospfMulticastExtensions is added to the OSPF General
Group. This indicates the router's ability to forward IP
multicast (Class D) datagrams.
(18) ospfIfMulticastForwarding is added to the Interface
Group. It indicates whether, and if so, how, multicasts
should be forwarded on the interface.
(19) The MIB is converted to SNMP Version 2. Beyond simple
text changes and the addition of the MODULE-IDENTITY and
MODULE-COMPLIANCE macros, this involved trading the
TruthValue Textual Convention for SNMP Version 2's, which
has the same values, and trading the Validation Textual
Convention for SNMP Version 2's RowStatus.
(20) ospfAuthType (area authentication type) was changed to an
interface authentication type to match the key. It also
has an additional value, to indicate the use of MD5 for
authentication.
(21) ospfIfIntfType has a new value, pointToMultipoint.
(22) ospfIfDemand (read/write) is added, to permit control of
Demand OSPF features.
(23) ospfNbrHelloSuppressed and ospfVirtNbrHelloSuppressed
were added, (read only). They indicate whether Hellos are
being suppressed to the neighbor.
(24) ospfDemandExtensions was added to indicate whether the
Demand OSPF extensions have been implemented, and to
disable them if appropriate.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
Several new data types are introduced as a textual convention in this
MIB document. These textual conventions enhance the readability of
the specification and can ease comparison with other specifications
if appropriate. It should be noted that the introduction of the
these textual conventions has no effect on either the syntax nor the
semantics of any managed objects. The use of these is merely an
artifact of the explanatory method used. Objects defined in terms of
one of these methods are always encoded by means of the rules that
define the primitive type. Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP
are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions which are
adopted merely for the convenience of readers and writers in pursuit
of the elusive goal of clear, concise, and unambiguous MIB documents.
The new data types are AreaID, RouterID, TOSType, Metric, BigMetric,
Status, PositiveInteger, HelloRange, UpToMaxAge, InterfaceIndex, and
DesignatedRouterPriority.
The MIB is composed of the following sections:
General Variables
Area Data Structure
Area Stub Metric Table
Link State Database
Address Range Table
Host Table
Interface Table
Interface Metric Table
Virtual Interface Table
Neighbor Table
Virtual Neighbor Table
External Link State Database
Aggregate Range Table
There exists a separate MIB for notifications ("traps"), which is
entirely optional.
The General Variables are about what they sound like; variables which
are global to the OSPF Process.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
The Area Data Structure describes the OSPF Areas that the router
participates in. The Area Stub Metric Table describes the metrics
advertised into a stub area by the default router(s).
The Interface Table and the Interface Metric Table together describe
the various IP interfaces to OSPF. The metrics are placed in
separate tables in order to simplify dealing with multiple types of
service, and to provide flexibility in the event that the IP TOS
definition is changed in the future. A Default Value specification
is supplied for the TOS 0 (default) metric.
For the benefit of row-creation in "conceptual" (see [9]) tables,
DEFVAL (Default Value) clauses are included in the definitions in
section 3, suggesting values which an agent should use for instances
of variables which need to be created due to a Set-Request, but which
are not specified in the Set-Request. DEFVAL clauses have not been
specified for some objects which are read-only, implying that they
are zeroed upon row creation. These objects are of the SYNTAX
Counter32 or Gauge32.
For those objects not having a DEFVAL clause, both management
stations and agents should heed the Robustness Principle of the
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
Internet (see RFC-791):
"be liberal in what you accept, conservative in what you
send"
That is, management stations should include as many of these columnar
objects as possible (e.g., all read-write objects) in a Set-Request
when creating a conceptual row; agents should accept a Set-Request
with as few of these as they need (e.g., the minimum contents of a
row creating SET consists of those objects for which, as they cannot
be intuited, no default is specified.).
There are numerous read-write objects in this MIB, as it is designed
for SNMP management of the protocol, not just SNMP monitoring of its
state. However, in the absence of a standard SNMP Security
architecture, it is acceptable for implementations to implement these
as read-only with an alternative interface for their modification.
OSPF is a powerful routing protocol, equipped with features to handle
virtually any configuration requirement that might reasonably be
found within an Autonomous System. With this power comes a fair
degree of complexity, which the sheer number of objects in the MIB
will attest to. Care has therefore been taken, in constructing this
MIB, to define default values for virtually every object, to minimize
the amount of parameterization required in the typical case. That
default configuration is as follows:
Given the following assumptions:
- IP has already been configured
- The ifTable has already been configured
- ifSpeed is estimated by the interface drivers
- The OSPF Process automatically discovers all IP
Interfaces and creates corresponding OSPF Interfaces
- The TOS 0 metrics are autonomously derived from ifSpeed
- The OSPF Process automatically creates the Areas required
for the Interfaces
The simplest configuration of an OSPF process requires that:
- The OSPF Process be Enabled.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
This can be accomplished with a single SET:
ospfAdminStat := enabled.
The configured system will have the following attributes:
- The RouterID will be one of the IP addresses of the
device
- The device will be neither an Area Border Router nor an
Autonomous System Border Router.
- Every IP Interface, with or without an address, will be
an OSPF Interface.
- The AreaID of each interface will be 0.0.0.0, the
Backbone.
- Authentication will be disabled
- All Broadcast and Point to Point interfaces will be
operational. NBMA Interfaces require the configuration
of at least one neighbor.
- Timers on all direct interfaces will be:
Hello Interval: 10 seconds
Dead Timeout: 40 Seconds
Retransmission: 5 Seconds
Transit Delay: 1 Second
Poll Interval: 120 Seconds
- no direct links to hosts will be configured.
- no addresses will be summarized
- Metrics, being a measure of bit duration, are unambiguous
and intelligent.
- No Virtual Links will be configured.

OSPF is an event driven routing protocol, where an event can be a
change in an OSPF interface's link-level status, the expiration of an
OSPF timer or the reception of an OSPF protocol packet. Many of the
actions that OSPF takes as a result of these events will result in a
change of the routing topology. As routing topologies become large
and complex it is often difficult to locate the source of a topology
change or unpredicted routing path by polling a large number or
routers. Another approach is to notify a network manager of
potentially critical OSPF events with SNMP traps.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 66]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
This section defines a set of traps, objects and mechanisms to
enhance the ability to manage IP internetworks which use OSPF as its
IGP. It is an optional but useful extension to the OSPF MIB.
The mechanism for sending traps is straight-forward. When an
exception event occurs, the application notifies the local agent who
sends a trap to the appropriate SNMP management stations. The
message includes the trap type and may include a list of trap
specific variables. A new object is defined in section 3.2 that will
allow a network manager to enable or disable particular OSPF traps.
Section 5 gives the trap definitions which includes the variable
lists. The router ID of the originator of the trap is included in
the variable list so that the network manager may easily determine
the source of the trap.
To limit the frequency of OSPF traps, the following additional
mechanisms are suggested.
The majority of critical events occur when OSPF is enabled on a
router, at which time the designated router is elected and neighbor
adjacencies are formed. During this initial period a potential flood
of traps is unnecessary since the events are expected. To avoid
unnecessary traps, a router should not originate expected OSPF
interface related traps until two of that interface's dead timer
intervals have elapsed. The expected OSPF interface traps are
ospfIfStateChange, ospfVirtIfStateChange, ospfNbrStateChange,
ospfVirtNbrStateChange, ospfTxRetranmit and ospfVirtIfTxRetransmit.
Additionally, ospfMaxAgeLsa and ospfOriginateLsa traps should not be
originated until two dead timer intervals have elapsed where the dead
timer interval used should be the dead timer with the smallest value.
The mechanism for throttling the traps is similar to the mechanism
explained in RFC 1224 [11], section 5. The basic idea is that there
is a sliding window in seconds and an upper bound on the number of
traps that may be generated within this window. Unlike RFC 1224,
traps are not sent to inform the network manager that the throttling
mechanism has kicked in.
Baker & Coltun Standards Track [Page 67]
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB November 1995
A single window should be used to throttle all OSPF traps types
except for the ospfLsdbOverflow and the ospfLsdbApproachingOverflow
trap which should not be throttled. For example, if the window time
is 3, the upper bound is 3 and the events that would cause trap types
1,3,5 and 7 occur within a 3 second period, the type 7 trap should
not be generated.
Appropriate values are 7 traps with a window time of 10 seconds.
Several of the traps defined in section 5 are generated as the result
of finding an unusual condition while parsing an OSPF packet or a
processing a timer event. There may be more than one unusual
condition detected while handling the event. For example, a link-
state update packet may contain several retransmitted link-state
advertisements (LSAs), or a retransmitted database description packet
may contain several database description entries. To limit the
number of traps and variables, OSPF should generate at most one trap
per OSPF event. Only the variables associated with the first unusual
condition should be included with the trap. Similarly, if more than
one type of unusual condition is encountered while parsing the
packet, only the first event will generate a trap.
Many of the tables in the OSPF MIB contain generalized event
counters. By enabling the traps defined in this document a network
manager can obtain more specific information about these events. A
network manager may want to poll these event counters and enable
specific OSPF traps when a particular counter starts increasing
abnormally.
The following table shows the relationship between the event counters
defined in the OSPF MIB and the trap types defined in section 5.
