"Version 2 of the Protocol Operations for the Simple Network Management Protocol", Randy Presuhn, Jeff Case, Keith McCloghrie, M. Richard Rose, Steven Waldbusser, 16-Oct-01. (2343 bytes)

This document defines version 2 of the protocol operations for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This document obsoletes RFC 1905. It defines the syntax and elements of procedure for sending, receiving, and processing SNMP PDUs.

"Transport Mappings for the Simple Network Management Protocol", Randy Presuhn, Jeff Case, Keith McCloghrie, M. Richard Rose, Steven Waldbusser, 16-Oct-01. (2234 bytes)

This document defines the transport of SNMP messages over various protocols. This document obsoletes RFC 1906.

"Management Information Base for the Simple Network Management Protocol", Randy Presuhn, Jeff Case, Keith McCloghrie, M. Richard Rose, Steven Waldbusser, 04-Oct-01. (2342 bytes)

This document defines managed objects which describe the behavior of an SNMP entity. This document obsoletes RFC 1907, Management Information Base for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2).

"SNMP Applications", David Levi, 27-Nov-01. (2672 bytes)

This memo describes five types of SNMP applications which make use of an SNMP engine as described in [SNMP-ARCH]. The types of application described are Command Generators, Command Responders, Notification Originators, Notification Receivers, and Proxy Forwarders. This memo also defines MIB modules for specifying targets of management operations, for notification filtering, and for proxy forwarding. This memo will obsolete RFC2273.

"User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)", Uri Blumenthal, Bert Wijnen, 30-Nov-01. (2553 bytes)

This document describes the User-based Security Model (USM) for SNMP version 3 for use in the SNMP architecture [SNMP-ARCH]. It defines the Elements of Procedure for providing SNMP message level security. This document also includes a MIB for remotely monitoring/managing the configuration parameters for this Security Model.

"View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)", Bert Wijnen, Randy Presuhn, Keith McCloghrie, 30-Nov-01. (2589 bytes)

This document describes the View-based Access Control Model for use in the SNMP architecture [SNMP-ARCH]. It defines the Elements of Procedure for controlling access to management information. This document also includes a MIB for remotely managing the configuration parameters for the View-based Access Control Model.

"An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks", Dan Harrington, Randy Presuhn, Bert Wijnen, 16-Oct-01. (2632 bytes)

This document describes an architecture for describing SNMP Management Frameworks. The architecture is designed to be modular to allow the evolution of the SNMP protocol standards over time. The major portions of the architecture are an SNMP engine containing a Message Processing Subsystem, a Security Subsystem and an Access Control Subsystem, and possibly multiple SNMP applications which provide specific functional processing of management data.

"Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)", Jeff Case, David Harrington, Randy Presuhn, Bert Wijnen, 16-Oct-01. (2658 bytes)

This document describes the Message Processing and Dispatching for SNMP messages within the SNMP architecture [RFC-ARCH]. It defines the procedures for dispatching potentially multiple versions of SNMP messages to the proper SNMP Message Processing Models, and for dispatching PDUs to SNMP applications. This document also describes one Message Processing Model - the SNMPv3 Message Processing Model.

"Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet-standard Network Management Framework", Jeff Case, 07-Aug-02. (2605 bytes)

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the third version of the Internet-Standard Management Framework, termed the SNMP version 3 Framework (SNMPv3). This Framework is derived from and builds upon both the original Internet- Standard Management Framework (SNMPv1) and the second Internet-Standard Management Framework (SNMPv2). The architecture is designed to be modular to allow the evolution of the Framework over time. The document explains why using SNMPv3 instead of SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 is strongly recommended. The document also recommends that RFCs 1157, 1441, 1901, 1909 and 1910 be retired by moving them to Historic status. This document obsoletes RFC 2570. This document is a work product of the SNMPv3 Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

"Applicability Statement for SNMPv3 Cryptographic Algorithms", Steven Bellovin, Randy Bush, 28-Feb-02. ( bytes)

This document attempts to put in perspective the use of cryptographic algorithms in the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol Version 3 standard. In particular, it notes that today's standard is infinitely more secure than previous versions, as the previous versions had zero security. It further notes that, as cryptographic algorthim developments change over time, we expect that the recommended algorithms will change when the security community has reached new consensus.
