SNMP MIB Handbook: Essential Guide to Mib Development, Use, and Diagnosis

by Larry Walsh (Author)

See all formats and editions

Essential Guide to SNMP MIB Development, Use, and Diagnosis. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows Managers (software) to communicate with Agents (also software) on network-managed devices, to collect status, for configuration and control, and to receive unsolicited events (traps). A MIB (Management Information Base) is a file containing syntax defining data objects to be managed and traps to be sent. MIB objects and their values are the focus of the protocol. Simplicity of SNMP is the reason for its initial and continued success -- simple MIB objects define information sent using a simple message set. Yet it is flexible and scalable, used to manage small networks as well as large, distributed networks. This handbook is intended for developers (MIB and agent designers) and end-users (network engineers and IT-management specialists). It serves as an instructional manual and as a reference, and contains case descriptions, examples, practical advice, clear descriptions of standards, user exercises and quiz questions. It is an important book for anyone involved with SNMP, suitable for those new to the protocol as well as for experienced practitioners.

From the Back Cover

SNMP MIB HANDBOOK
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows Managers (software) to communicate with Agents (software) on network-managed devices -- to collect status information, to effect configuration and control, and to receive unsolicited alarms (called traps).

A MIB (Management Information Base) is a file containing specific syntax defining data objects to be managed and traps to be sent. MIB objects and their values are topics of conversation between managers and agents, and are the focal point of the protocol.

The simplicity of SNMP is the reason for its initial and continued success -- simple MIB objects define information that is transported by a simple message set. Yet it is flexible and scalable, and is used to manage very small networks as well as large, distributed networks. Many good tools are available, both open source and commercial.

This handbook is intended for both developers (MIB designers, agent software developers) and end-users (network engineers, IT management specialists). It serves as an instructional manual as well as a reference, and contains case studies, practical advice, clear descriptions of standards, user exercises and quiz questions.

Content is based on a series of training seminars developed by the author, which have been delivered to SNMP practitioners in a variety of endeavors -- government agencies, university IT-department, telephone companies, electronics manufacturers, printer company, aircraft manufacturer, televison equipment providers, televison broadcaster, automated fare collection system, space agency.

This handbook is MIB-centeric, but covers many closely related topics. Sample topics include:
+ SNMP tutorial describing important aspects of the entire protocol, including messaging standards, security, agent models, network models, and enterprises.
+ Clear descriptions of the two version of MIB syntax, SMIv1 and SMIv2.
+ MIB syntax examples are provided from many standard MIBs.
+ Diagnosing problem MIBs (which managers fail to compile properly).
+ MIB-toolkit recommendations.
+ Managing networks. How to research MIB requirements and how to locate needed MIBs.
+ Partitioning -- Enterprise SMI MIB, Textual Convention MIB, Subsystem MIB, Product MIB.
+ Expected support for standard MIBs by all agents.
+ Agent semantics and development issues.
+ Trap models and configuration of trap filters in managers.
+ Indexed tables, agent row-creation, manager row-creation.
+ A recommended MIB development process is described.

"The Book" on MIBs

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2008

Verified Purchase

Finally the book on MIBs outlining concise MIB construction techniques using ASN.1 language. The SNMP MIB Handbook by Larry Walsh is very well written and conveys much of the same information presented in his training courses. Now everyone from product supervision to MIB developers to users of developed MIBs can have this industry information in their hands. As a Network Engineer, I find many manufacturers enterprise MIBs to be chockfull of errors as well as deficient in providing the kinds of information essential to network management. Now that a book actually details these MIB short-comings, that this book will become de-facto reading for those doing this essential development. There are many references to common and not so common developmental mistakes as well as composing MIBs to the highest standard. While it is understood that the MIB is basically a map of the available data on the device to be managed and that the device agent is part of this management, perhaps the highlights within this book will be beneficial to those developing agent software as well.
The book will help Network Engineers determine causes and fixes for poorly written MIBs. Test tools and methodology are a significant focus and apply to all levels of use and development. The information presented in this respect cannot be obtained anywhere else except through years of trouble-shooting effort.
This book is highly recommended reading for those involved in all levels of SNMP understanding, development and use.

I postponed my initial plan to create a mib because I discovered a feature that comes with the Linux snmp package to read application status from a script. My understanding of snmp has improved a lot from the little I read - SMI syntax, standard and enterprise mibs and end of chapter questions.

The Authoritative Reference

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013

I carefully read through the Amazon reviews, before ordering this book. The consensus was clear -- this is the book! I was new to SNMP, and working under tight deadline pressure.

This book contained all of the information I needed, explaining the up-to-date standards. MIBs are not rocket science, but there is a lot of confusing detail; I don't know how I would have gotten a proper result without this book.

The customer was very satisfied with our product -- and had their own copy of this book!

Minimum amount of water, good material. Making MIBs is not an easy task. Think this book is a great aid in this process.

The book arrived in the "as advertised" condition and in a timely manner. I have yet to read the book so a review is not possible at this time.

Bought this to debug an issue I was having, and was able to do so. The MIBs for 2 are the same for 3, so no worries there.

Hello all,

TO be honest I was looking for real SNMP MIB handbook or at least some thing that look like this. But this is terrible book. It look like some one was creating a MIB for his product once whit this friend (and the friend had done most of the work, and the person was just observing him and according to the notices he hes written this book).

Probably its just my personal filing as I'm working couple of years with monitoring and reporting tools. On another hand I was expecting much more not just common used stuff without deeper explanation of the topics.

Any way I will keep on search for some better book about mentioned topics as this one was just loosing of my time.
