use with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In
particular, it defines objects for receiving notifications from network
devices with APPN (Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network) and DLUR (Dependent LU
Requester) capabilities.  This memo identifies notifications for the
APPN and DLUR architecture.

This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet community.

1.  Introduction

This document is a product of the SNA NAU Services MIB Working Group.
It defines a MIB module for notifications for devices with Advanced
Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) and Dependent LU Requester (DLUR)
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 [13].

2.  The SNMP Network Management Framework

The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:

o    An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [1].

o    Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
     purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
     Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in RFC
     1155 [2], RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called
     SMIv2, is described in RFC 1902 [5], RFC 1903 [6] and RFC 1904 [7].

o    Message protocols for transferring management information. The
     first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
     described in RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP message
     protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is
     called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The
     third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and
     described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2272 [11] and RFC 2274 [12].

o    Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first
     set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described
     in RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and associated
     PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13].

o    A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273 [14] and
     the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2275 [15].

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the
Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are defined
using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.

This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB
conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.

3.  Overview

This document identifies the set of objects for reporting the status of
devices with APPN and DLUR capabilities via notifications.

See the SNANAU APPN MIB [18] and SNANAU DLUR MIB [19] for the objects
for monitoring the configuration and active characteristics of the
devices with APPN and DLUR capabilities. Many objects contained in the
notifications of this MIB are imported from the APPN and DLUR MIBs.
Implementors of this MIB must also implement the APPN MIB.
Implementations that support the appnTrapMibDlurConfGroup and the
appnTrapMibDlurNotifGroup must also implement the DLUR MIB.

The SNANAU APPN MIB allows a management station to collect the network
topology of an APPN network (the network nodes (NNs) in the network and
all of transmission groups (TGs) between the network nodes) from an APPN
device.  It also allows the management station to collect the local
topology (TGs to end stations, and locally defined ports and link
stations) from an APPN device.  While the SNANAU APPN MIB has an
efficient way to poll the APPN device for updates to the network
topology, using flow reduction sequence numbers (FRSNs) as a table
index; it does not have a mechanism to poll the local topology tables
(appnLocalTgTable, appnPortTable, and appnLsTable) for status changes.

This MIB provides a mechanism for an APPN device to send notifications
to inform the management station of status changes to rows of these
tables. Status changes include operational state changes, and for TGs
also include control-point to control-point (CP-CP) session state

Internet Draft            SNANAU APPN TRAP MIB                 July 1998

changes.  A notification is defined for each type of status change for
each table.

The port and link operational state objects have intermediate states.
Notifications are only sent for transition to active or inactive state.

Notifications are only sent for row creation if the state is active or
operational.  This is done to avoid sending a notification as the row is
created with an inactive initial state, followed by another notification
as the resource is activated.

Notifications are only sent for row deletion if the last state was
active or operational.  In most cases, a resource must be deactivated
before it can be deleted, and the deactivation will cause a notification
to be sent.  There is no need for a second notification to be sent for
the row deletion, except for the case where the deletion occurred
without deactivation.  In this case, the state of the object in the
notification will indicate an inactve state, since a deleted resource
can no longer be active.

The purpose of the appnLocalTgCpCpStateChangeTrap notification is to
identify the loss or recovery of CP-CP sessions on a TG while the TG
remains operational.  Thus this notification is only sent if there is a
change to an appnLocalTgCpCpSession object, but not a change to the
appnLocalTgOperational object.  This notification is never sent for the
creation or deletion of a row in the appnLocalTgTable.

Each notification always contains an object which is a count of the
number of times the status of a row in table has changed since the APPN
node was last reinitialized.  This enables a management station to
detect that it has missed a notification, if it does not get the
notifications in numerical sequence.  If the notifications are not in
sequence, the management station should retrieve the entire table to get
the correct status for all rows.

Similarly, the SNANAU DLUR MIB provides a mechanism for retrieving the
configuration and status of dependent LU server (DLUS) sessions on a
device with DLUR capabilities.  This MIB defines a notification for a
DLUR-DLUS session state change of a row in the dlurDlusTable, in the
manner described above.  A notification is only sent for a session state
transition to active or inactive.  As with the above notifications, it
is only sent on row creation if the initial state is active; and on row
deletion is the last state was active, in which case the notification
indicates that the state is now inactive.

The SNANAU APPN MIB also provides a mechanism for a management station

Expires January 21, 1999                                        [Page 4]
Internet Draft            SNANAU APPN TRAP MIB                 July 1998

to collect traffic statistics on intermediate sessions, primarily for
accounting purposes.  However, when the session is terminated, all
statistics from the last poll until the session termination time are
lost, since the row for that session is deleted from the appnIsInTable.
This MIB defines a notification so that the session's final statistics
can be sent to a management station.  If the notification is not
delivered, the final session statistics are lost.  If this is a concern,
polling of the appnIsInTable in the APPN MIB should be increased to more
likely reduce the time between the last poll and the session
termination, thereby reducing the amount of data lost.

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

o    A notification for an APPN local TG operational state change.

o    A notification for an APPN local TG CP-CP session state change.

o    A notification for an APPN port operational state change.

o    A notification for an APPN link station operational state change.

o    A notification for a DLUR-DLUS session state change.

o    A notification for reporting final APPN intermediate session
     statistics.

This MIB module does not support:

o    Objects to query the configuration or status of APPN nodes on
     demand.

o    Notifications for changes to local topology tables not related to
     status.

3.1.  APPN TRAP MIB Structure

The APPN TRAP MIB module contains a group of notifications, and a group
of supporting objects.

The group of notifications consists of the following notifications:

1) appnIsrAccountingDataTrap

Expires January 21, 1999                                        [Page 5]
Internet Draft            SNANAU APPN TRAP MIB                 July 1998

This notification is generated by an APPN device when an intermediate
session is terminating, to report the final accounting statistics of the
session.

2) appnLocalTgOperStateChangeTrap

This notification identifies a change to the appnLocalTgOperational
object in a row of the SNANAU APPN MIB appnLocalTgTable.

3) appnLocalTgCpCpStateChangeTrap

This notification identifies a change to the appnLocalTgCpCpSession
object in a row of the SNANAU APPN MIB appnLocalTgTable.

4) appnPortOperStateChangeTrap

This notification identifies a change to the appnPortOperState object in
a row of the SNANAU APPN MIB appnPortTable.

5) appnLsOperStateChangeTrap

This notification identifies a change to the appnLsOperState object in a
row of the SNANAU APPN MIB appnLsTable.

6) dlurDlusStateChangeTrap

This notification identifies a change to the dlurDlusSessnStatus object
in a row of the SNANAU DLUR MIB dlurDlusTable.

The group of supporting objects contains the appnTrapControl object,
which controls whether the APPN device generates each type of
notification.  Note that generation of the appnIsrAccountingDataTrap is
not controlled by this object; instead it is controlled by the
appnIsInGlobalCtrAdminStatus object in the SNANAU APPN MIB.

Although APPN notification generation could be controlled solely by
entries in the snmpNotificationMIB, RFC 2273 [9], the appnTrapControl
object exists in this MIB so that implementations are not required to
implement RFC 2273 to control generation of APPN notifications.  For a
notification to be generated and sent as a TRAP or INFORM, the
notification type must first be enabled by the appnTrapControl object.
It must also not be disabled by an snmpNotificationMIB entry.  The
destination of notifications is not within the scope of this MIB.

Also contained in this group are objects for the TG, port, link, and

          counts, so that the application can properly account for the
          amounts the counts were incremented since the last time the
          application polled them.  The appnIsInSessUpTime object
          provides the total amount of time that the session was active.

          This notification is not a substitute for polling the ISR
          counts.  In particular, the count values reported in this
          notification cannot be assumed to be the complete totals for
          the life of the session, since they may have wrapped while the
          session was up.

          The session to which the objects in this notification apply is
          identified by the fully qualified CP name and PCID that make up
          the table index.  An instance of this notification will contain
          exactly one instance of each of its objects, and these objects
          will all belong to the same conceptual row of the
          appnIsInTable.

          Generation of this notification is controlled by the same
          object in the APPN MIB, appnIsInGlobeCtrAdminStatus, that
          controls whether the count objects themselves are being
          incremented."

      DESCRIPTION
          "When it has been enabled, this notification makes it possible
          for an APPN topology application to get asynchronous
          notifications of local topology changes, and thus to reduce the
          frequency with which it polls for these changes.  The
          notification is more than a simple 'poll me now' indication.
          It carries both a count of local TG topology changes, and the
          updated objects themselves.  The count of changes allows an
          application to detect lost notifications, either when polling
          or upon receiving a subsequent notification, at which point it
          knows it must retrieve the entire appnLocalTgTable again.

          An instance of this notification reports a change (addition,
          deletion, or modification) to a single row in the
          appnLocalTgTable.  It contains the two global objects
          appnLocalTgTableChanges and appnLocalTgTableLastChangeType,
          plus one or more objects from the affected row, as follows:

              -  For an addition to the table, all the objects in the
                 new row;
              -  For a deletion, the appnLocalTgDestVirtual object;
              -  For a modification, all the objects whose values
                 changed.

          The choice of appnLocalTgDestVirtual as the object to include
          in the deletion case was totally arbitrary.  All the receiving
          application needs is some object from the deleted row, so it
          can determine the index of the row.

5.  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.  An authentication protocol is
defined in [12].  A protocol for access control is defined in [15].

None of the read-only objects in the APPN TRAP 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 is one read-write object in the APPN TRAP MIB, appnTrapControl.
This object controls the generation of the notifications defined in the
APPN TRAP MIB.
