SNMP

This chapter provides information to configure SNMP.

SNMP overview

This section provides an overview of SNMP information.

SNMP architecture

The Service Assurance Manager (SAM) is comprised of two elements: managers and agents. The manager is the entity through which network management tasks are facilitated. Agents interface managed objects. Managed devices, such as bridges, hubs, routers, and network servers can contain managed objects. A managed object can be a configuration attribute, performance statistic, or control action that is directly related to the operation of a device.

Managed devices collect and store management information and use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is an application-layer protocol that provides a message format to facilitate communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standard framework to monitor and manage devices in a network from a central location.

An SNMP manager controls and monitors the activities of network hosts which use SNMP. An SNMP manager can obtain (get) a value from an SNMP agent or store (set) a value in the agent. The manager uses definitions in the management information base (MIB) to perform operations on the managed device such as retrieving values from variables or blocks of data, replying to requests, and processing traps.

Between the SNMP agent and the SNMP manager the following actions can occur:

  • The manager can get information from the agent.

  • The manager can set the value of a MIB object that is controlled by an agent.

  • The agent can send traps to notify the manager of significant events that occur on the router.

Management information base

A MIB is a formal specifications document with definitions of management information used to remotely monitor, configure, and control a managed device or network system. The agent management information consists of a set of network objects that can be managed with SNMP. Object identifiers are unique object names that are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. The main branches are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). When requested, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns a unique branch for use by a private organization or company. The branch assigned to Alcatel-Lucent (TiMetra) is 1.3.6.1.4.1.6527.

The SNMP agent provides management information to support a collection of IETF specified MIBs and a number of MIBs defined to manage device parameters and network data unique to Nokia router.

SNMP protocol operations

Between the SNMP agent and the SNMP manager the following actions can occur:

  • The manager can get information from the agent.

  • The manager can set the value of a MIB object that is controlled by an agent.

  • The agent notifies the manager of significant events that occur on the router.

SNMP versions

The agent supports multiple versions of the SNMP protocol:

  • SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) is the original Internet-standard network management framework.

    SNMPv1 uses a community string match for authentication.

  • The implementation uses SNMPv2c, the community-based administrative framework for SNMPv2. SNMPv2c uses a community string match for authentication.

  • In SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3), USM defines the user authentication and encryption features. View Access Control MIB (VACM) defines the user access control features. The SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB is used to associate SNMPv1/SNMPv2c community strings with SNMPv3 VACM access control.

    SNMPv3 uses a username match for authentication.

Management information access control

By default, the implementation of SNMP uses SNMPv3. SNMPv3 incorporates security model and security level features. A security model is the authentication type for the group and the security level is the permitted level of security within a security model. The combination of the security level and security model determines which security mechanism handles an SNMP packet.

To implement SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c configurations, several access groups are predefined. These access groups provide standard read-only, read-write, and read-write-all access groups and views that can be assigned community strings. To implement SNMP with security features, security models, security levels, and USM communities must be explicitly configured. Optionally, additional views which specify more specific OIDs (MIB objects in the subtree) can be configured.

Access to the management information in as SNMPv1/SNMPv2c agent is controlled by the inclusion of a community name string in the SNMP request. The community defines the subset of the agent-managed objects can be accessed by the requester. It also defines what type of access is allowed: read-only or read-write.

The use of community strings provide minimal security and context checking for both agents and managers that receive requests and initiate trap operations. A community string is a text string that acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the router.

The Nokia implementation of SNMP has defined three levels of community-named access:

  • Read-Only permission

    Grants only read access to objects in the MIB, except security objects.

  • Read-Write permission

    Grants read and write access to all objects in the MIB, except security objects.

  • Read-Write-All permission

    Grants read and write access to all objects in the MIB, including security objects.

User-based security model community strings

User-based security model (USM) community strings associates a community string with an SNMPv3 access group and its view. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the scope of the configured group.

Views

Views control the access to a managed object. The total MIB of a router can be viewed as a hierarchical tree. When a view is created, either the entire tree or a portion of the tree can be specified and made available to a user to manage the objects contained in the subtree. Object identifiers (OIDs) uniquely identify managed objects. A view defines the type of operations for the view such as read, write, or notify.

OIDs are organized in a hierarchical tree with specific values assigned to different organizations. A view defines a subset of the agent-managed objects controlled by the access rules associated with that view.

Predefined views are available that are particularly useful when configuring SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

The Nokia SNMP agent associates SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community strings with a SNMPv3 view.

Access groups

Access groups associate a user group and a security model to the views the group can access. An access group is defined by a unique combination of a group name, security model (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3), and security level (no-authorization-no privacy, authorization-no-privacy, or privacy).

An access group, in essence, is a template which defines a combination of access privileges and views. A group can be associated to one or more network users to control their access privileges and views.

Additional access parameters must be explicitly configured if the preconfigured access groups and views for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c do not meet your security requirements.

Users

By default, authentication and encryption parameters are not configured. Authentication parameters which a user must use to be validated by the device can be modified. SNMP authentication allows the device to validate the managing node that issued the SNMP message and determine whether the message has been tampered with.

User access and authentication privileges must be explicitly configured. In a user configuration, a user is associated with an access group, which is a collection of users who have common access privileges and views (see Access groups).

Which SNMP version to use

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c do not provide security, authentication, or encryption. Without authentication, a non authorized user could perform SNMP network management functions and eavesdrop on management information as it passes from system to system. Many SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c implementations are restricted read-only access, which, in turn, reduces the effectiveness of a network monitor in which network control applications cannot be supported.

To implement SNMPv3, an authentication and encryption method must be assigned to a user to be validated by the device. SNMP authentication allows the router to validate the managing node that issued the SNMP message and determine whether the message was tampered with.

The following figure shows the configuration requirements to implement SNMPv1/SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.

Configuration notes

This section describes SNMP configuration caveats.

General

  • To avoid management systems attempting to manage a partially booted system, SNMP will remain in a shut down state if the configuration file fails to complete during system startup. While shutdown, SNMP gets and sets are not processed. However, notifications are issued if an SNMP trap group has been configured.

    To enable SNMP, the portions of the configuration that failed to load must be initialized properly. Start SNMP with the config>system>snmp>no shutdown CLI command.

  • Use caution when changing the SNMP engine ID. If the SNMP engine ID is changed in the config>system>snmp> engineID engine-id context, the current configuration must be saved and a reboot must be executed. If not, the previously configured SNMP communities and logger trap-target notify communities will not be valid for the new engine ID.

  • SNMP dying gasp uses system IP to send out packet. Therefore, the system IP must be configured before configuring SNMP dying gasp.

Configuring SNMP with CLI

This section provides information about configuring SNMP with CLI.

SNMP configuration overview

This section describes how to configure SNMP components which apply to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 on the router.

Configuring SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

Nokia routers are based on SNMPv3. To use the routers with SNMPv1 and/or SNMPv2c, SNMP community strings must be configured. Three predefined access methods are available when SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c access is required. Each access method (r, rw, or rwa) is associated with an SNMPv3 access group that determines the access privileges and the scope of managed objects available. The community command is used to associate a community string with a specific access method and the required SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c). The access methods are:

  • Read-Only

    Grants read only access to the entire management structure with the exception of the security area.

  • Read-Write

    Grants read and write access to the entire management structure with the exception of the security area.

  • Read-Write-All

    Grants read and write access to the entire management structure, including security.

If the predefined access groups do not meet your access requirements, then additional access groups and views can be configured. The usm-community command is used to associate an access group with an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community string.

SNMP trap destinations are configured in the config>log>snmp-trap-group context.

Configuring SNMPv3

The 7210 SAS implements SNMPv3 by default. If security features other than the default views are required, configure the following parameters:

  • views

  • access groups

  • SNMP users

  • SNMP engine ID

    Note: When SNMPv3 is configured on the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone-VC mode), use the config>system>snmp>engineID command to explicitly configure the SNMP engine ID. Failure to do so causes the SNMPv3 to stop working after a CPM switchover.

Basic SNMP security configuration

This section provides information to configure SNMP parameters and provides examples of common configuration tasks. The minimal SNMP parameters are:

  • For SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c:

    • Configure community string parameters.

  • For SNMPv3:

    • Configure view parameters

    • Configure SNMP group

    • Configure access parameters

    • Configure user with SNMP parameters

Configuring SNMP components

Use the following syntax to configure SNMP scenarios.

config>system>security>snmp
        attempts [count] [time minutes1] [lockout minutes2]
        community community-string access-permissions [version SNMP-version]
        usm-community community-string group group-name
        view view-name subtree oid-value
        mask mask-value [type {included|excluded}]
        access group group-name security-model security-model security-level security-level [context context-name [prefix-match]] [read view-name-1] [write view-name-2] [notify view-name-3]

Configuring a community string

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community strings are used to define the relationship between an SNMP manager and agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the scope of the configured group.

One or more of these characteristics associated with the string can be specified:

  • Read-only, read-write, and read-write-all permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community.

  • The SNMP version, SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.

Default access features are preconfigured by the agent for SNMPv1/SNMPv2c.

Use the following syntax to configure community options.

config>system>security>snmp
        community community-string access-permissions [version SNMP-version]
SNMP community configuration output

Configuring view options

Use the following syntax to configure view options.

config>system>security>snmp
        view view-name subtree oid-value
        mask mask-value [type {included|excluded}]
View configuration output
*A:cses-A13>config>system>security>snmp# info

                view "testview" subtree "1"
                    mask ff
                exit
                view "testview" subtree "1.3.6.1.2"
                    mask ff type excluded
                exit

                community "r0a159kIOfg" hash2 r version both
----------------------------------------------
*A:cses-A13>config>system>security>snmp#

Configuring access options

The access command creates an association between a user group, a security model and the views that the user group can access. Access must be configured unless security is limited to the preconfigured access groups and views for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. An access group is defined by a unique combination of the group name, security model and security level.

Use the following syntax to configure access features.

config>system>security>snmp
        access group group-name security-model security-model security-level security-level [context context-name [prefix-match]] [read view-name-1] [write view-name-2] [notify view-name-3]
Access configuration output

The following is a sample access configuration output with the view configurations.

Configuring USM community options

User-based security model (USM) community strings associate a community string with an SNMPv3 access group and its view. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the scope of the configured group.

By default, the implementation of SNMP uses SNMPv3. However, to implement SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, USM community strings must be explicitly configured.

Use the following syntax to configure USM community options.

config>system>security>snmp
        usm-community community-string group group-name
SNMP community configuration output
A:ALA-1>config>system>security>snmp# info
----------------------------------------------

                view "testview" subtree "1.3.6.1.2"
                    mask ff type excluded
                exit
                access group "test" security-model usm security-level auth-no-pr

Configuration commands

SNMP system commands
engineID
Syntax

[no] engineID engine-id

Context

config>system>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command sets the SNMP engine ID to uniquely identify the SNMPv3 node. By default, the engine ID is generated using information from the system backplane.

If the SNMP engine ID is changed using the config>system>snmp>engineID engine-id command, the current configuration must be saved and a reboot must be executed. If not, the previously configured SNMP communities and logger trap-target notify communities will not be valid for the new engine ID.

Note:
  • In conformance with IETF standard RFC 2274, User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3), hashing algorithms that generate SNMPv3 MD5 or SHA security digest keys use the engineID. Changing the SNMP engineID invalidates all SNMPv3 MD5 and SHA security digest keys and may render the node unmanageable

  • When SNMPv3 is configured on the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone-VC mode), use the config>system>snmp>engineID command to explicitly configure the SNMP engine ID. Failure to do so causes the SNMPv3 to stop working after a CPM switchover.

When a chassis is replaced, use the engine ID of the first system and configure it in the new system to preserve SNMPv3 security keys. This allows management stations to use their existing authentication keys for the new system.

Ensure that the engine IDs are not used on multiple systems. A management domain can only have one instance of each engineID.

The no form of this command reverts to the default setting.

Default

The engine ID is system generated.

Parameters
engine-id

An identifier from 10 to 64 hexadecimal digits (5 to 32 octet number), uniquely identifying this SNMPv3 node. This string is used to access this node from a remote host with SNMPv3.

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command configures the port number used by this node to receive SNMP request messages and to send replies.

Note:

SNMP notifications generated by the agent are sent from the port specified in the config>log>snmp-trap-group>trap-target CLI command.

The no form of this command reverts to the default value.

Default

general-port 161

Parameters
port-number

Specifies the port number used to send SNMP traffic other than traps.

Values

1 to 65535 (decimal)

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command configures the maximum SNMP packet size generated by this node. If the packet size exceeds the MTU size of the egress interface, the packet will be fragmented.

The no form of this command to reverts to the default value.

Default

packet-size 1500

Parameters
bytes

Specifies the SNMP packet size in bytes.

Values

484 to 9216

snmp

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

Commands in this context configure SNMP parameters.

shutdown
Syntax

[no] shutdown

Context

config>system>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command administratively disables SNMP agent operations. System management can then only be performed using the command line interface (CLI). Shutting down SNMP does not remove or change configuration parameters other than the administrative state.

This command does not prevent the agent from sending SNMP notifications to any configured SNMP trap destinations. SNMP trap destinations are configured in the config>log>snmp-trap-group context.

This command is automatically invoked in the event of a reboot when the processing of the configuration file fails to complete or when an SNMP persistent index file fails while the bof persist on command is enabled.

The no form of this command administratively enables SNMP, which is the default state.

Default

no shutdown

Context

config>system>security>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command creates an association between a user group, a security model, and the views that the user group can access. Access parameters must be configured unless security is limited to the preconfigured access groups and views for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. An access group is defined by a unique combination of the group name, security model, and security level.

Access must be configured unless security is limited to SNMPv1/SNMPv2c with community strings (see the community command).

Default access group configurations cannot be modified or deleted.

To remove the user group with associated, security models, and security levels, use the no access group group-name command.

To remove a security model and security level combination from a group, use the no access group group-name security-model {snmpv1 | snmpv2c | usm} security-level {no-auth-no-privacy | auth-no-privacy | privacy} command.

Parameters
group-name

Specifies a unique group name, up to 32 characters.

security-model {snmpv1 | snmpv2c | usm}

no attempts

Context

config>system>security>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command configures a threshold value of unsuccessful SNMP connection attempts allowed in a specified time frame. The command parameters are used to counter denial of service (DOS) attacks through SNMP.

If the threshold is exceeded, the host is locked out for the configured lockout time period.

If multiple attempts commands are entered, each new command overwrites the previously entered command.

The no form of this command resets the parameters to the default values.

Default

attempts 20 time 5 lockout 10

Parameters
count

Specifies the number of unsuccessful SNMP attempts allowed for the specified time.

Default

20

Values

1 to 64

time minutes1

Specifies the period of time, in minutes, that a specified number of unsuccessful attempts can be made before the host is locked out.

Default

5

Values

0 to 60

lockout minutes2

Specifies the lockout period, in minutes, where the host is not allowed to login. When the host exceeds the attempted count times in the specified time, that host is locked out from any further login attempts for the configured time period.

Default

10

Values

0 to 1440

community
Syntax

community community-string [hash | hash2] access-permissions [version SNMP-version]

no community community-string]

Context

config>system>security>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command enables SNMP community strings for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c access. This command is used in combination with the predefined access groups and views. To create custom access groups and views and associate them with SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c access, use the usm-community command.

When configured, this command implies a security model for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only. For SNMPv3 security, the command must be configured.

The no form of this command removes a community string.

Parameters
community-string

Specifies the SNMPv1 / SNMPv2c community string.

Values

hash, hash2

access-permissions

Specifies the access permissions.

  • r — Grants only read access to objects in the MIB, except security objects.

  • rw — Grants read and write access to all objects in the MIB, except security.

  • rwa — Grants read and write access to all objects in the MIB, including security.

  • vpls-mgmt — Assigns a unique SNMP community string to the management virtual router.

version {v1 | v2c | both}

Specifies the scope of the community string for SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c access.

Default

both

mask
Syntax

mask mask-value [type {included | excluded}]

no mask

Context

config>system>security>snmp>view

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

The mask value and mask type, along with the oid-value configured in the view command, determines the access of each sub-identifier of an object identifier (MIB subtree) in the view.

Each bit in the mask corresponds to a sub-identifier position; for example, the most significant bit for the first sub-identifier, the next most significant bit for the second sub-identifier, and so on. If the bit position on the sub-identifier is available, it can be included or excluded.

For example, the MIB subtree that represents MIB-II is 1.3.6.1.2.1. The mask that catches all MIB-II would be 0xfc or 0b11111100.

Only a single mask may be configured per view and OID value combination. If more than one entry is configured, each subsequent entry overwrites the previous entry.

Per RFC 2575, View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), each MIB view is defined by two sets of view subtrees: the included view subtrees, and the excluded view subtrees. Every view subtree, both the included and the excluded, are defined in this table. To determine whether a particular object instance is in a particular MIB view, compare the OID with each of the MIB view active entries in this table. If none match, the object instance is not in the MIB view. If one or more match, the object instance is included in, or excluded from, the MIB view according to the value of vacmViewTreeFamilyType in the entry whose value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree has the most sub-identifiers.

The no form of this command removes the mask from the configuration.

Parameters
mask-value

The mask value associated with the OID value determines whether the sub-identifiers are included or excluded from the view. (Default: all 1s)

The mask can be entered either

  • in hex; for example, 0xfc

  • in binary; for example, 0b11111100

Note:

If the number of bits in the bit mask is less than the number of sub-identifiers in the MIB subtree, the mask is extended with ones until the mask length matches the number of subidentifiers in the MIB subtree.

type {included | excluded}

Specifies whether to include or exclude MIB subtree objects.

Included means that all MIB subtree objects that are identified with a 1 in the mask are available in the view.

Excluded means that all MIB subtree objects that are identified with a 1 in the mask are denied access in the view.

Default

included

snmp
Syntax

snmp

Context

config>system>security

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

Commands in this context configure SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 parameters.

usm-community
Syntax

usm-community community-string [hash | hash2] group group-name

no usm-community community-string [hash | hash2]

Context

config>system>security>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command is used to associate a community string with an SNMPv3 access group and its view. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the scope of the configured group.

The Nokia implementation of SNMP uses SNMPv3. To implement SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c configurations, several access groups are predefined. To implement SNMP with security features (Version 3), security models, security levels, and USM communities must be explicitly configured. Optionally, additional views that specify more specific OIDs (MIB objects in the subtree) can be configured.

The no form of this command removes a community string.

Parameters
community-string

Specifies the SNMPv1/SNMPv2c community string to determine the SNMPv3 access permissions to be used.

Values

hash, hash2

group

Specifies the group that governs the access rights of this community string. This group must first be configured in the config system security snmp access group context.

view
Syntax

view view-name subtree oid-value

no view view-name [subtree oid-value]

Context

config>system>security>snmp

Platforms

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including those configured in the access-uplink operating mode.

Description

This command configures a view. Views control the accessibility of an MIB object within the configured MIB view and subtree. OIDs uniquely identify MIB objects in the subtree. OIDs are organized hierarchically with specific values assigned by different organizations.

When the subtree (OID) is identified, a mask can be created to select the portions of the subtree to be included or excluded for access using this particular view. See the mask command for more information. The views configured with this command can subsequently be used in read, write, and notify commands, which are used to assign specific access group permissions to created views and assigned to particular access groups.

Multiple subtrees can be added or removed from a view name to tailor a view to the requirements of the user access group.

The no view view-name command removes a view and all subtrees.

The no view view-name subtree oid-value removes a sub-tree from the view name.

Parameters
view-name

Specifies a view name up to 32 characters.

oid-value

Specifies the OID value for the view-name. This value, for example, 1.3.6.1.6.3.11.2.1, combined with the mask and include and exclude statements, configures the access available in the view.

It is possible to have a view with different subtrees with their own masks and include and exclude statements. This allows for customizing visibility and write capabilities to specific user requirements.
