2. Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-
based internets. In particular, it defines objects for
managing the Open Shortest Path First Routing Protocol.
This memo does not, in its draft form, specify a standard for
the Internet community.

3. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
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 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.
3.1. Object Definitions
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.
4. Overview
4.1. Changes from RFC 1253
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.
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 3]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
(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. (This would appear to violate RFC 1212, which
explicitly states that DEFVALs are for the purpose of
initializing read-only objects???)
(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
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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 4]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
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 variable ospfExtLsdbLimit was 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
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.
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 5]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
(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) ospfAreaAuthType has an additional value assigned, to
indicate the use of MD5 for authentication.
(21) ospfIfIntfType has a new value, pointToMultipoint.

Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
4.2. Textual Conventions
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.
4.3. Structure of MIB
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.
4.3.1. General Variables
The General Variables are about what they sound like;
variables which are global to the OSPF Process.
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 7]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
4.3.2. Area Data Structure and Area Stub Metric Table
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).
4.3.3. Link State Database and External Link State Database
The Link State Database is provided primarily to provide
detailed information for network debugging.
4.3.4. Address Table and Host Tables
The Address Range Table and Host Table are provided to view
configured Network Summary and Host Route information.
4.3.5. Interface and Interface Metric Tables
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.
4.3.6. Virtual Interface Table
Likewise, the Virtual Interface Table describe virtual links
to the OSPF Process.
4.3.7. Neighbor and Virtual Neighbor Tables
The Neighbor Table and the Virtual Neighbor Table describe the
neighbors to the OSPF Process.
4.4. Conceptual Row Creation
For the benefit of row-creation in "conceptual" (see [9])
tables, DEFVAL (Default Value) clauses are included in the
definitions in section 5, 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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 8]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
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 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.
4.5. Default Configuration
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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 9]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
- 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.
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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 10]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
- 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.

6. OSPF Traps
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.
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.
6.1. Format Of Trap Definitions
Section A.4.0 contains contains the trap definitions using
6.2. Approach
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 5.2 that will allow a network manager to enable or
disable particular OSPF traps. Section A.4.0 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.
6.3. Ignoring Initial Activity
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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 86]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
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.
6.4. Throttling Traps
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.
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.
6.5. One Trap Per OSPF Event
Several of the traps defined in section A.4.0 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
Baker and Coltun Expires January 1995 [Page 87]
Internet Draft OSPF MIB July 1994
parsing the packet, only the first event will generate a trap.
6.6. Polling Event Counters
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 A.4.0
