1.0  Introduction

This document is a product of the SNA NAU Services MIB Working Group.
It defines a MIB module for managing devices with Advanced Peer-to-Peer
Networking (APPN) Extended Border Node (EBN) capabilities.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119, reference [8].


2.0  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of seven major
components.  They are:

o   RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
    describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

o   RFC 1903 [2] defines textual conventions for SNMPv2.

o   RFC 1904 [3] defines conformance statements for SNMPv2.

o   RFC 1905 [4] defines  transport mappings for SNMPv2.

o   RFC 1906 [5] defines the protocol operations used for network access
    to managed objects.

o   RFC 1907 [6] defines the Management Information Base for SNMPv2.


SNA NAU MIB WG            Expires August 1998                   [Page 2]


Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

o   RFC 1908 [7] specifies coexistence between SNMP and SNMPv2.

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.

This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI.  A
semantically identical MIB conforming to the SNMPv1 SMI can be produced
through the appropriate translation.


3.0  Overview

This document identifies the proposed set of objects for monitoring the
configuration and active characteristics of devices with EBN
capabilities.  The Extended Border Node function is an APPN enhancement
for an APPN network node (NN).  It supports topology isolation, subnet
interconnection, and session establishment between subnets.

In a single APPN network, all network topology information is propagated
to all network nodes.  Directory searches can also be forwarded to all
network nodes.  As the network grows, this network traffic could become
prohibitive.  Also, in networks where different enterprises are
connected via APPN, it may be desirable to shield an enterprise from the
network traffic of another enterprise.  EBN allows customers to
partition a network into subnets to reduce or shield such network
traffic.

An EBN provides this function by blocking topology information exchange
between subnets, and controlling where directory searches are forwarded.
A subnetwork is a cluster of APPN NNs which share the same network
topology.  Subnetwork boundaries, or partitions, occur where an EBN and
an NN adjacent to it have different network identifiers (NETIDs).  They
may also occur where an EBN and adjacent NN have the same NETID but are
configured to have a subnetwork boundary.

The connection between two APPN nodes is an APPN transmission group
(TG).  A  TG at a subnet boundary is called an Intersubnetwork
Transmission Group (ISTG).

The subnet that the EBN resides in is called its native subnetwork.  The
subnet across the subnet boundary is called the non-native subnetwork,
with respect to the EBN.

A cost of the EBN function is that customers may have difficulty
determining the end-to-end route of sessions that cross subnet
boundaries, and understanding how the EBN will control directory
searches between subnets.  This MIB addresses these issues.

Another challenge facing customers is to identify subnet boundaries
formed by EBNs.  The SNANAU APPN MIB [9] identifies subnet boundaries in
the appnNnTopology group.  The SNANAU APPN MIB provides management of
APPN objects, and contains some tables which are extended by this MIB.

In this document, we describe EBN managed objects.


SNA NAU MIB WG            Expires August 1998                   [Page 3]


Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

The EBN terms and overall architecture are available from the
networking.raleigh.ibm.com ftp site [10].

Highlights of the management functions supported by the EBN MIB module
include the following:

o   Identifying the subnet affiliation of LUs (logical units)

o   Identifying session routes in non-native subnets, with correlation
    to the route in the native subnet provided in the SNANAU APPN MIB.

o   Identifying the COS (Class of Service) mappings between subnets.

o   Identifying the subnet routing lists

This MIB module does not support:

o   Configuration of EBN nodes.

o   Historical information about session initiation failures.

o   Peripheral Border Node (PBN) support.  PBN is an APPN function that
    only supports communication to adjacent subnetworks, and is not
    expected to be widely implemented.

o   Traps.  The APPN MIB contains a trap for Alert conditions that may
    affect EBN resources.  Although no APPN/EBN Alerts are defined today
    in [11], they could exist in the future.  The value for the
    affectedObject object contained in the alertTrap is determined by
    the implementation.  It may contain a VariablePointer from the EBN
    MIB.

3.1  EBN MIB Structure

The EBN MIB module contains the following groups of objects:

o   ebnDir - subnet information about LUs.

o   ebnIsRscv - provides the RSCV (Route Selection Control Vector) and
    COS for the subnetwork on the BIND destination side of the EBN.

o   ebnDirConfig - objects related to the EBN directory.

o   ebnCos - COS mapping between subnetworks,

o   ebnSubnetRoutingList - the customer-supplied list of where to
    forward search requests.

o   hbn - HPR (High Performance Routing) EBN intermediate session
    information.

These groups are described below in more detail.

3.1.1  enbDir group


SNA NAU MIB WG            Expires August 1998                   [Page 4]


Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

The ebnDir group contains the ebnDirTable, which is an extension to the
appnDirTable.  It specifies the subnet affiliation of LUs in the EBNs
directory.

3.1.2  ebnIsRscv group

The ebnIsRscv group contains the ebnIsRscvTable, which is an extension
to the appnIsInTable.  The appnIsInTable only allows for the RSCV and
COS name for one subnetwork involved in the session.  This extension
contains the RSCV and COS name for the other subnetwork.

When an EBN changes RSCVs before forwarding a BIND, appnIsInRouteInfo
contains the incoming RSCV, and ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute contains the
outgoing RSCV.

The following three cases illustrate the contents of appnIsInRouteInfo
and ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute at Extended Border Nodes.

1.  EBN connected to another EBN

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG -------|**subnet 2**
                  EBN1             EBN2
       PLU                                    SLU
       ---------------------------->|
             (1)      |------------>|
                           (2)      |----------->
                                         (3)

       PLU = Primary Logical Unit (session initiator)
       SLU = Secondary Logical Unit (session destination)

     The value of appnIsInRouteInfo object at EBN1 is the RSCV
    containing the route, represented by (1), from the PLU (or the entry
    EBN in its subnet) to EBN2.  The value of ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute
    object at EBN1  is  the RSCV,  represented  by  (2),  containing
    the one-hop route from EBN1 to EBN2. The appnIsInRouteInfo  object
    at  EBN2  also  contains  the  RSCV represented  by  (2).  The value
    of ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute in EBN2 is the RSVC containing the
    route to the SLU (or to the next subnet's  entry EBN), represented
    by (3).

2.  EBN connected to a NN or PBN

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG ------|**subnet 2**
                  EBN1           NN/PBN
       PLU
       --------------------------->|            SLU
           (1)     |----------------------------->
                                (2)

    The value of the appnIsInRouteInfo object at EBN1 is the RSCV
    containing the  route  from  the  PLU (or the entry EBN in its
    subnet) to the NN or PBN, represented by (1).  The  value  of  the
    ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute object  at  EBN1  is the RSCV containing
    the route from EBN1 to the SLU, represented by (2). Note that the

Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

    SLU must be in subnet 2,  because  the entry  node  is  an NN or PBN
    rather than an EBN.  The appnIsInRouteInfo object at NN/PBN contains
    the same RSCV, as represented by (2).

3.  NN or PBN connected to EBN

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG -------|**subnet 2**
                 NN/PBN            EBN1
       PLU
       -----------------------------|          SLU
                 (1)                |----------->
                                         (2)

    The value of the appnIsInRouteInfo object at  the  NN/PBN  is  the
    RSCV containing  the  route  from  the PLU to EBN1, represented by
    (1).  Note that the PLU must be in subnet 1, because the exit  node
    is  an  NN/PBN rather  than an EBN.   The appnIsInRouteInfo object
    at EBN1 contains the same RSCV.  The value of the
    ebnIsRscvDestinationRoute object at EBN1 is the RSCV containing the
    route from EBN1 to the SLU (or the next subnet's entry border node),
    as represented by (2).

The following three cases illustrate the contents of
ebnIsRscvDestinationCos at Extended Border Nodes.

1.  EBN connected to another EBN

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG -------|**subnet 2**
                 EBN1              EBN2
       PLU                                          SLU
                 COS A
       ----------------------------->|
                                           COS B
                                     |-------------->


       PLU = Primary Logical Unit (session initiator)
       SLU = Secondary Logical Unit (session destination)

    The value of ebnIsRscvDestinationCos object at EBN1 is COS A.  The
    value of ebnIsRscvDestinationCos object at EBN2 is COS B.

2.   EBN connected to a NN or PBN

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG ------|**subnet 2**
                  EBN1           NN/PBN
       PLU                                          SLU
           COS A
       ------------>|
                                  COS B
                    |--------------------------------->

    The value of the ebvIsRscvDestinationCos object at EBN1 is COS B.

3.  NN or PBN connected to EBN

SNA NAU MIB WG            Expires August 1998                   [Page 6]


Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

       **subnet 1**|----ISTG -------|**subnet 2**
                 NN/PBN            EBN1
       PLU                                     SLU
              COS A
       ---------------------------->|
                                          COS B
                                    |----------->

    The value of the ebnIsRscvDestinationCos object at the EBN2 is COSB.

3.1.3  ebnDirConfig group

The ebnDirConfig group consists of simple objects that provide
EBN-specific information about directory caching and the local default
value for the maximum number of subnetworks a LOCATE search procedure
may traverse.

3.1.4  ebnCos group

The ebnCos group contains the ebnCosMapTable, which specifies how COS
values are mapped between the non-native subnetwork and the native
subnetwork.

3.1.5  ebnSubnetRoutingList group

The ebnSubnetRoutingList group contains information about the
customer-supplied EBN subnetwork routing list, which indicates to which
adjacent nodes an EBN will forward LOCATE search requests. It consists
of the following tables:

1.  ebnSubnetSearchTable

    This table has an entry for each LU name that has a defined subnet
    routing list.  The LU name may identify a single LU, or it may
    contain a wildcard character that could identify a group of LUs
    (partial wildcard) or all LUs (full wildcard).  The objects in the
    table indicate whether the EBN may add dynamic entries to the subnet
    routing list, and whether the subnet routing list entries may be
    reordered for better search performance.

2.  ebnSearchTable

    This table has an entry for each control point name which is
    included in a multi-subnet search for a particular LU name.  The
    index to the table is the LU name to be searched for, and an index
    which lists the order in which the CP names are to be searched.
    Both the CP name and the LU name entries in the table allow for
    partial and full wildcards.  The CP name also allows for  special
    entries that indicate that the EBN will search itself and its own
    native subnetwork at this point in the search, or will search all
    native EBNs.

3.1.6  hbn group

Internet Draft                  EBN MIB                    February 1998

The hbn group contains information about HBN (HPR EBN) intermediate
sessions.  The hbnIsInTable is an extension to the appnIsInTable.  This
table is present for intermediate sessions when there are back-to-back
RTP (Rapid Transport Protocol) connections in an HBN.  It provides the
NCE ID (network connection endpoint identifier) and TCID (transport
connection identifier) for the second RTP connection.

5.0  Security Considerations

Certain management information defined in this MIB may be considered
sensitive in some network environments.  Therefore, authentication of
received SNMP requests and controlled access to management information
SHOULD be employed in such environments.  The method for this
authentication is a function of the SNMP Administrative Framework, and
has not been expanded by this MIB.

None of the read-only objects in the EBN MIB reports a password, user
data, or anything else that is particularly sensitive.  Some enterprises
view their network configuration itself, as well as information about
network usage and performance, as corporate assets; such enterprises may
wish to restrict SNMP access to most of the objects in the MIB.

There are no read-write objects in the EBN MIB.
