Overview
SNMPv1 was developed as an interim solution to an eventual adoption of OSI.
This never came about: OSI was not as widely adopted as originally hoped.
SNMPv2, released in 1996, was basically major revisions added to SNMP.

Major Changes
Bulk data transfer Manager-to-manager message Enhancements to SMI: SMIv2
Module definitions: MODULE-IDENTITY macro (information) Object definitions: OBJECT-TYPE macro (managed object) Trap definitions: NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro
Textual conventions (Help define new data types) Conformance statements (Compatibility to standard) Row creation and deletion in table MIB enhancements (added security & snmpv2) Transport mappings Security features, originally to be in SNMPv2, moved to SNMPv3
– Hence, SNMPv2, like SNMPv1, uses a community-based administrative framework

OBJECT-IDENTITY Macro
• The OBJECT-IDENTITY macro is there to define information about an object identifier in the MIB.• Recall that an OBJECT IDENTIFIER defines the administrative identification of a node in the MIB
– For example let’s consider a class of router that is manufactured by InfoTech Services Inc. that is identified by the OBJECT IDENTIFIER isiRouter
isiRouter OBJECT-IDENTITYSTATUS currentDESCRIPTION "An 8-slot IP router in the IP router
family."REFERENCE "ISI Memorandum No. ISI-R123 dated
January. 20, 1997"::= {private.enterprises.isi 1}

OBJECT-TYPE
OBJECT-TYPE details the description needed for
implementation of the managed object. It defines the type of a
managed object.

21
Table Aggregation
SNMPv2 also defines a very powerful concept known as aggregate objects that support compound tables.
This allows, for example, to define parameters associated with interface cards in a router.
3 types of table aggregation is supported:
– Augmentation of a table (dependent table) adds additional columns to an existing table (base table)
– Dense table enables addition of more rows to base table
– Sparse table supplements less rows to a base table
![Page 22: SNMPv2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a6c550346895d8df0dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Table Aggregation (…)
• Can happen when all of the following are true:
– Number of rows is not affected by the addition
– Rows match one-to-one– The INDEX of the first
table can be used for second one as well.
Table 1: base table Table 2: augmented table
![Page 23: SNMPv2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a6c550346895d8df0dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Augmentation of Tables: Example
• For example the parameters of the interface of the router, RouterIsi123, adds proprietary information to the standardipAddrTable.• This new table, ipAugAddrTable has the same number of rows as ipAddrTable and adds information that defines the board and port number associated with the ipAdEntAddr
Figure 6.13 Example of Augmentation of Tables
![Page 24: SNMPv2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a6c550346895d8df0dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Dense Tables
In this case, the number of rows of an augmented table is more than that of the base table. The INDEX for the combined table is the combination of the 2 INDEX values of the tables.
![Page 25: SNMPv2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a6c550346895d8df0dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Sparse Tables
In this case the number of rows of an augmented table is less than that of the base table. The INDEX for the combined table is the same of the base table.

Textual Convention
• Enables defining new data types• Makes semantics of data types consistent and
human readable• Creates new data types using existing ones
and applies restrictions to them• An important textual convention in SNMPv2,
RowStatus creates and deletes rows
