SNMPv3 Applications
4.2. The Notification MIB Module The SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB module contains objects for the remote configuration of the parameters used by an SNMP entity for the generation of notifications. It consists of three tables and conformance/compliance statements. The first table, the snmpNotifyTable, contains entries which select which entries in the snmpTargetAddrTable should be used for generating notifications, and the type of notifications to be generated. The second table sparsely augments the snmpTargetAddrTable with an object which is used to associate a set of filters with a particular management target. The third table defines filters which are used to limit the number of notifications which are generated using particular management targets.

DESCRIPTION
"The bit mask which, in combination with the corresponding
instance of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree, defines a family of
subtrees which are included in or excluded from the
filter profile.
Each bit of this bit mask corresponds to a
sub-identifier of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree, with the
most significant bit of the i-th octet of this octet
string value (extended if necessary, see below)
corresponding to the (8*i - 7)-th sub-identifier, and
the least significant bit of the i-th octet of this
octet string corresponding to the (8*i)-th
sub-identifier, where i is in the range 1 through 16.
Each bit of this bit mask specifies whether or not
the corresponding sub-identifiers must match when
determining if an OBJECT IDENTIFIER matches this
family of filter subtrees; a '1' indicates that an
exact match must occur; a '0' indicates 'wild card',
i.e., any sub-identifier value matches.
Thus, the OBJECT IDENTIFIER X of an object instance
is contained in a family of filter subtrees if, for
each sub-identifier of the value of
snmpNotifyFilterSubtree, either:
the i-th bit of snmpNotifyFilterMask is 0, or
the i-th sub-identifier of X is equal to the i-th
sub-identifier of the value of
snmpNotifyFilterSubtree.
If the value of this bit mask is M bits long and
there are more than M sub-identifiers in the
corresponding instance of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree,
then the bit mask is extended with 1's to be the
required length.
Note that when the value of this object is the
zero-length string, this extension rule results in
a mask of all-1's being used (i.e., no 'wild card'),
and the family of filter subtrees is the one
subtree uniquely identified by the corresponding
instance of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree."

5. Identification of Management Targets in Notification Originators
This section describes the mechanisms used by a notification
originator application when using the MIB module described in this
document to determine the set of management targets to be used when
generating a notification.
A notification originator uses the snmpNotifyTable to find the
management targets to be used for generating notifications. Each
active entry in this table identifies zero or more entries in the
snmpTargetAddrTable. Any entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable whose
snmpTargetAddrTagList object contains a tag value which is equal to a
value of snmpNotifyTag is selected by the snmpNotifyEntry which
contains that instance of snmpNotifyTag. Note that a particular
snmpTargetAddrEntry may be selected by multiple entries in the
snmpNotifyTable, resulting in multiple notifications being generated
using that snmpTargetAddrEntry.
Each snmpTargetAddrEntry contains a pointer to the snmpTargetParamsTable (snmpTargetAddrParams). This pointer selects a set of SNMP parameters to be used for generating notifications. If the selected entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable does not exist, the management target is not used to generate notifications. The decision as to whether a notification should contain an SNMPv2- Trap or Inform PDU is determined by the value of the snmpNotifyType object. If the value of this object is trap(1), the notification should contain an SNMPv2-Trap PDU. If the value of this object is inform(2), then the notification should contain an Inform PDU, and the timeout time and number of retries for the Inform are the value of snmpTargetAddrTimeout and snmpTargetAddrRetryCount. Note that the exception to these rules is when the snmpTargetParamsMPModel object indicates SNMPv1. In this case, the notification is sent as a Trap if the value of snmpNotifyTargetType is either trap(1) or inform(2). 6. Notification Filtering This section describes the mechanisms used by a notification originator application when using the MIB module described in this document to filter generation of notifications. A notification originator uses the snmpNotifyFilterTable to filter notifications. A notification filter profile may be associated with a particular entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable. The associated filter profile is identified by an entry in the snmpNotifyFilterProfileTable whose index is equal to the index of the entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable. If no such entry exists in the snmpNotifyFilterProfileTable, no filtering is performed for that management target. If such an entry does exist, the value of snmpNotifyFilterProfileName of the entry is compared with the corresponding portion of the index of all active entries in the snmpNotifyFilterTable. All such entries for which this comparison results in an exact match are used for filtering a notification generated using the associated snmpTargetParamsEntry. If no such entries exist, no filtering is performed, and a notification may be sent to the management target. Otherwise, if matching entries do exist, a notification may be sent if the NOTIFICATION-TYPE OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the notification (this is the value of the element of the variable bindings whose name is snmpTrapOID.0, i.e., the second variable binding), and all of the object instances to be included in the variable-bindings of the notification, are not specifically excluded by the matching entries.
Each set of snmpNotifyFilterTable entries is divided into two collections of filter subtrees: the included filter subtrees, and the excluded filter subtrees. The snmpNotifyFilterType object defines the collection to which each matching entry belongs. To determine whether a particular notification name or object instance is excluded by the set of matching entries, compare the notification name's or object instance's OBJECT IDENTIFIER with each of the matching entries. If none match, then the notification name or object instance is considered excluded, and the notification should not be sent to this management target. If one or more match, then the notification name or object instance is included or excluded, according to the value of snmpNotifyFilterType in the entry whose value of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree has the most sub-identifiers. If multiple entries match and have the same number of sub- identifiers, then the lexicographically greatest instance of snmpNotifyFilterType among those which match determines the inclusion or exclusion. A notification name's or object instance's OBJECT IDENTIFIER X matches an entry in the snmpNotifyFilterTable when the number of sub-identifiers in X is at least as many as in the value of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree for the entry, and each sub-identifier in the value of snmpNotifyFilterSubtree matches its corresponding sub- identifier in X. Two sub-identifiers match either if the corresponding bit of snmpNotifyFilterMask is zero (the 'wild card' value), or if the two sub-identifiers are equal. 7. Management Target Translation in Proxy Forwarder Applications This section describes the mechanisms used by a proxy forwarder application when using the MIB module described in this document to translate incoming management target information into outgoing management target information for the purpose of forwarding messages. There are actually two mechanisms a proxy forwarder may use, one for forwarding request messages, and one for forwarding notification messages. 7.1. Management Target Translation for Request Forwarding When forwarding request messages, the proxy forwarder will select a single entry in the snmpProxyTable. To select this entry, it will perform the following comparisons: - The snmpProxyType must be read(1) if the request is a Get, GetNext, or GetBulk request. The snmpProxyType must be write(2) if the request is a Set request.
- The contextEngineId must equal the snmpProxyContextEngineID
object.
- If the snmpProxyContextName object is supported, it must equal
the contextName.
- The snmpProxyTargetParamsIn object identifies an entry in the
snmpTargetParamsTable. The messageProcessingModel,
securityLevel, security model, and securityName must match the
values of snmpTargetParamsMPModel,
snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel, snmpTargetParamsSecurityName,
and snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel of the identified entry in
the snmpTargetParamsTable.
There may be multiple entries in the snmpProxyTable for which these
comparisons succeed. The entry whose snmpProxyName has the
lexicographically smallest value and for which the comparisons
succeed will be selected by the proxy forwarder.
The outgoing management target information is identified by the value
of the snmpProxySingleTargetOut object of the selected entry. This
object identifies an entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable. The
identified entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable also contains a reference
to the snmpTargetParamsTable (snmpTargetAddrParams). If either the
identified entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable does not exist, or the
identified entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable does not exist, then
this snmpProxyEntry does not identify valid forwarding information,
and the proxy forwarder should attempt to identify another row.
If there is no entry in the snmpProxyTable for which all of the
conditions above may be met, then there is no appropriate forwarding
information, and the proxy forwarder should take appropriate actions.
Otherwise, The snmpTargetAddrTDomain, snmpTargetAddrTAddress,
snmpTargetAddrTimeout, and snmpTargetRetryCount of the identified
snmpTargetAddrEntry, and the snmpTargetParamsMPModel,
snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel, snmpTargetParamsSecurityName, and
snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel of the identified snmpTargetParamsEntry
are used as the destination management target.
7.2. Management Target Translation for Notification Forwarding
When forwarding notification messages, the proxy forwarder will
select multiple entries in the snmpProxyTable. To select these
entries, it will perform the following comparisons:
- The snmpProxyType must be trap(3) if the notification is a
Trap. The snmpProxyType must be inform(4) if the request is
an Inform.
- The contextEngineId must equal the snmpProxyContextEngineID
object.
- If the snmpProxyContextName object is supported, it must equal
the contextName.
- The snmpProxyTargetParamsIn object identifies an entry in the
snmpTargetParamsTable. The messageProcessingModel,
securityLevel, security model, and securityName must match the
values of snmpTargetParamsMPModel,
snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel, snmpTargetParamsSecurityName,
and snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel of the identified entry in
the snmpTargetParamsTable.
All entries for which these conditions are met are selected. The
snmpProxyMultipleTargetOut object of each such entry is used to
select a set of entries in the snmpTargetAddrTable. Any
snmpTargetAddrEntry whose snmpTargetAddrTagList object contains a tag
value equal to the value of snmpProxyMultipleTargetOut, and whose
snmpTargetAddrParams object references an existing entry in the
snmpTargetParamsTable, is selected as a destination for the forwarded
notification.

10. Security Considerations
The SNMP applications described in this document typically have
direct access to MIB instrumentation. Thus, it is very important
that these applications be strict in their application of access
control as described in this document.
In addition, there may be some types of notification generator
applications which, rather than accessing MIB instrumentation using
access control, will obtain MIB information through other means (such
as from a command line). The implementors and users of such
applications must be responsible for not divulging MIB information
that normally would be inaccessible due to access control.

APPENDIX A - Trap Configuration Example This section describes an example configuration for a Notification Generator application which implements the snmpNotifyBasicCompliance level. The example configuration specifies that the Notification Generator should send notifications to 3 separate managers, using authentication and no privacy for the first 2 managers, and using both authentication and privacy for the third manager. The configuration consists of three rows in the snmpTargetAddrTable, and two rows in the snmpTargetTable. snmpTargetAddrName SnmpAdminString, snmpTargetAddrTDomain TDomain, snmpTargetAddrTAddress TAddress, snmpTargetAddrTimeout TimeInterval, snmpTargetAddrRetryCount Integer32, snmpTargetAddrTagList SnmpAdminString, snmpTargetAddrParams SnmpAdminString, snmpTargetAddrStorageType StorageType, snmpTargetAddrRowStatus RowStatus * snmpTargetAddrName = "addr1" snmpTargetAddrTDomain = snmpUDPDomain snmpTargetAddrTAddress = 128.1.2.3:162 snmpTargetAddrTagList = "group1" snmpTargetAddrParams = "AuthNoPriv joe" snmpTargetAddrStorageType = readOnly(5) snmpTargetAddrRowStatus = active(1) * snmpTargetAddrName = "addr2" snmpTargetAddrTDomain = snmpUDPDomain snmpTargetAddrTAddress = 128.2.4.6:162 snmpTargetAddrTagList = "group1" snmpTargetAddrParams = "AuthNoPriv-joe" snmpTargetAddrStorageType = readOnly(5) snmpTargetAddrRowStatus = active(1) * snmpTargetAddrName = "addr3" snmpTargetAddrTDomain = snmpUDPDomain snmpTargetAddrTAddress = 128.1.2.3:162 snmpTargetAddrTagList = "group2" snmpTargetAddrParams = "AuthPriv-bob" snmpTargetAddrStorageType = readOnly(5) snmpTargetAddrRowStatus = active(1) * snmpTargetParamsName = "AuthNoPriv-joe" snmpTargetParamsMPModel = 3
snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel = 3 (USM)
snmpTargetParamsSecurityName = "joe"
snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel = authNoPriv(2)
snmpTargetParamsStorageType = readOnly(5)
snmpTargetParamsRowStatus = active(1)
* snmpTargetParamsName = "AuthPriv-bob"
snmpTargetParamsMPModel = 3
snmpTargetParamsSecurityModel = 3 (USM)
snmpTargetParamsSecurityName = "bob"
snmpTargetParamsSecurityLevel = authPriv(3)
snmpTargetParamsStorageType = readOnly(5)
snmpTargetParamsRowStatus = active(1)
* snmpNotifyName = "group1"
snmpNotifyTag = "group1"
snmpNotifyType = trap(1)
snmpNotifyStorageType = readOnly(5)
snmpNotifyRowStatus = active(1)
* snmpNotifyName = "group2"
snmpNotifyTag = "group2"
snmpNotifyType = trap(1)
snmpNotifyStorageType = readOnly(5)
snmpNotifyRowStatus = active(1)
These entries define two groups of management targets. The first
group contains two management targets:
first target second target
------------ -------------
messageProcessingModel SNMPv3 SNMPv3
securityModel 3 (USM) 3 (USM)
securityName "joe" "joe"
securityLevel authNoPriv(2) authNoPriv(2)
transportDomain snmpUDPDomain snmpUDPDomain
transportAddress 128.1.2.3:162 128.2.4.6:162
And the second group contains a single management target:
messageProcessingModel SNMPv3
securityLevel authPriv(3)
securityModel 3 (USM)
securityName "bob"
transportDomain snmpUDPDomain
transportAddress 128.1.5.9:162
