1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
2. Introduction
In traditional SNMP management, problems are detected on an entity
either through polling interesting MIB variables, waiting for the
entity to send a Notification for a problem, or some combination of
the two. This method is somewhat successful, but experience has
shown some problems with this approach. Managers monitoring large
numbers of entities cannot afford to be polling large numbers of
objects on each device. Managers trying to ensure high reliability
are unable to accurately determine whether any problems had occurred
when they were not monitoring an entity. Finally, it can be time
consuming for managers to try to understand the relationships
between the various objects they poll, the Notifications they
receive and the problems occurring on the entity. Even after
detailed analysis they may still be left with an incomplete picture
of what problems are occurring. But, it is important for an operator
to be able to determine current problems on a system, so they can be
fixed.
This memo describes a method of using alarm management in SNMP to
address these problems. It also provides the necessary MIB objects
to support this method.
Alarms and other terms related to alarm management are defined in
the following sections.
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 [RFC2119].

3.1 Terminology
Error
A deviation of a system from normal operation.
Fault
Lasting error or warning condition.
Event
Something that happens which may be of interest.
A fault, a change in status, crossing a threshold, or an
external input to the system, for example.
Notification
Unsolicited transmission of management information.
Alarm
Persistent indication of a fault.
Alarm State
A condition or stage in the existence of an alarm. As a minimum,
alarms states are raise and clear. They could also
include severity information such as defined by perceived severity
in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) model [M.3100]
- cleared, indeterminate, critical, major, minor and warning.
Alarm Raise
The initial detection of the fault indicated by an alarm or any
number of alarm states later entered, except clear.
Alarm Clear
The detection that the fault indicated by an alarm no longer
exists.
Active Alarm
An alarm which has an alarm state that has been raised, but not
cleared.
Alarm Detection Point
The entity that detected the alarm.
Perceived Severity
The severity of the alarm as determined by the alarm detection
point using the information it has available.

3.3 Features of this Architecture
3.3.1 Modular Alarm Architecture
The subject of alarm management can potentially cover a large number
of topics including real-time alarms, historical alarms, alarm
correlation, and alarm suppression, to name a few. Within each of
these topics, there are a number of established models that could be
supported. This memo focuses on a subset of this problem space, but
describes a modular SNMP alarm management framework. Alarms SHOULD
be modelled so Notifications are sent on alarm Clear.
The framework defines a generic Alarm MIB that can be supported on
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 5]
Alarm MIB February 2004
its own, or with additional alarm modelling information such as the
provided ITU Alarm MIB. In addition, the active alarm tables could
also be extended to support additional information about active
alarm instances. This framework can also be expanded in the future
to support such features as alarm correlation and alarm suppression.
This modular architecture means that the cost of supporting alarm
management features is proportional to the number of features an
implementation supports.
3.3.2 Flexible Alarm Modelling
Alarm models document an understanding between a manager and an
agent as to what problems will be reported on a system, how these
problems will be reported, and what might possibly happen over the
lifetime of this problem.
The alarm modelling method provided in this memo provides
flexibility to support implementations with different modelling
requirements. All alarms are modelled as a series of states that are
related together using an alarm ID. Alarm states can be modelled
using traditional Notifications, generic alarm Notifications, or
without the use of Notifications.
Alarm states modelled using traditional Notifications would specify
a Notification Object Identifier, and optionally an (offset, value)
pair of one of the Notification varbinds to identify the state.
This alarm state would be entered when the entity generated a
Notification that matched this information and the alarm would be
added to the active alarm table. This Notification would also get
sent on the wire to any destinations, as indicated in the
SNMP-TARGET-MIB and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB [RFC3413].
Alarm states modelled using generic Notifications use the
alarmActiveState or alarmClearState Notifications defined in this
memo. These alarm states would be entered after being triggered by a
stimulus outside the scope of this memo, the alarm would be added to
the active alarm table and these generic Notifications would then be
sent on the wire to any destinations, as indicated in the
SNMP-TARGET-MIB and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB [RFC3413].
Alarm states modelled without any Notifications would be triggered
by some stimulus outside the scope of this memo, the alarm would be
added to the active alarm table, but no Notifications would be sent
to interested managers.
3.3.3 Problem Indication
The Alarm MIB provides a means to determine whether a given
notification is of interest to managers for purposes of alarm
management by permitting inspection of the alarm models. If no
entries in the alarmModelTable could match a particular
notification, then that notification is not relevant to the alarm
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 6]
Alarm MIB February 2004
models defined. In addition, information in the alarm model, such
as the Notification ID and the description tell exactly what error
or warning condition this alarm is indicating. If the ITU-ALARM-MIB
is also supported, additional information is provided via the
probable cause.
3.3.5 Identifying Resource under Alarm
An important goal of alarm management is to ensure that any detected
problems get fixed, so it is necessary to know exactly where this
problem is occurring. In addition, it is necessary to be able to
tell when alarm instances are raised against the same component, as
well as to be able to tell what instance of an alarm is cleared by
an instance of an alarm clear.
The Alarm MIB provides a generic method for identifying the resource
by extracting and building a resource ID from the Notification
varbinds. It records the relevant information needed to locate the
source of the alarm.
3.3.6 Means of obtaining ITU alarm information
Alarm Information, as defined in ITU alarm models [M.3100], is
optionally available to implementations through the optional support
of the ITU-ALARM-MIB.
3.3.7 Configuration of Alarm Models
An alarm model can be added and removed during runtime. It can be
modified assuming it is not being referenced by any active alarm
instance.
3.3.8 Active Alarm Management
A list of currently active alarms and supporting statistics on the
SNMP entity can be obtained.
This allows the network management station to find out about any
problems that may have occurred before it started managing a
particular network element, or while it was out of contact with it.
3.3.9 Distributed Alarm Management
All aspects of the Alarm MIB can be supported both on the device
experiencing the alarms and on any mid-level managers that might be
monitoring such devices.
3.3.10 Historical Alarm Management
Some systems may have a requirement that information on alarms that
are no longer active is available. This memo provides a clear table
to support this requirement.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 7]
Alarm MIB February 2004
This can also be achieved through the support of the Notification
Log MIB [RFC3014] to store alarm state transitions.
3.4 Security
Given the nature of VACM, security for alarms is awkward since
access control for the objects in the underlying Notifications can
be checked only where the Notification is created. Thus such
checking is possible only for locally generated Notifications, and
even then only when security credentials are available.
For the purpose of this discussion, "security credentials" means the
input values for the abstract service interface function
isAccessAllowed [RFC3411] and using those credentials means
conceptually using that function to see that those credentials allow
access to the MIB objects in question, operating as for a
Notification Originator in [RFC3413].
The Alarm MIB has the notion of a named alarm list. By using alarm
list names and view-based access control [RFC3415] a network
administrator can provide different access for different users. When
an application creates an alarm model (indexed in part by the alarm
list name) the security credentials of the creator remain associated
with that alarm model and constrain what information is allowed to
be placed in the active alarm table, the active alarm variable
table, the cleared alarm table, and the ITU alarm table.
When processing locally-generated Notifications, the managed system
MUST use the security credentials associated with each alarm model
respectively, and MUST apply the same access control rules as
described for a Notification Originator in [RFC3413].
The managed system SHOULD NOT apply access control when processing
remotely-generated Notifications using the alarm models. In those
cases the security of the information in the alarm tables SHOULD be
left to the normal, overall access control for those tables.
3.5 Relationship between Alarm and Notifications
It is important to understand the relationship between alarms and
Notifications, as both are traditional fault management methods.
This relationship is modelled using the alarmModelTable to define
the alarmModelNotificationId for each alarm state.
Not all Notifications signal an alarm state transition. Some
Notifications are simply informational in nature, such as those that
indicate that a configuration operation has been performed on an
entity. These sorts of Notifications would not be represented in
the Alarm MIB.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 8]
Alarm MIB February 2004
The Alarm MIB allows the use of the Notification space as defined in
[RFC2578] in order to identify the Notifications that are related
with the specific alarm state transitions. However there is no
assumption that the respective Notifications must be sent for all or
any of the alarm state transitions. It is also possible to model
alarms using no Notifications at all. This architecture allows for
both the efficient exploitation of the body of defined Notification
and for the use of non-Notification based systems.
3.6 Notification Varbind Storage and Reference
In SNMPv1 [RFC1157], the varbinds in the Trap-PDU sent over the wire
map one to one into those varbinds listed in the SMI of the trap in
the MIB in which it was defined[RFC1215]. In the case of linkDown
trap, the first varbind can unambiguously be identified as ifIndex.
With the introduction of the InformRequest-PDU and SNMPv2-Trap-PDU
types, which send sysUptime and snmpTrapOID as the first two
varbinds, while the SMI in the MIB where the Notification is defined
only lists additional varbinds, the meaning of "first varbind"
becomes less clear. In the case of the linkDown Notification,
referring to the first varbind could potentially be interpreted as
either the sysUptime or ifIndex.
The varbind storage approach taken in the Alarm MIB is that
sysUptime and snmpTrapOID SHALL always be stored in the active alarm
variable table as entry 1 and 2 respectively, regardless of whether
the transport was the Trap-PDU, the InformRequest-PDU or the
SNMPv2-Trap-PDU. If the incoming Notification is an SNMPv1 Trap-PDU
then an appropriate value for sysUpTime.0 or snmpTrapOID.0 shall be
determined by using the rules in section 3.1 of [RFC3584].
The varbind reference approach taken in the Alarm MIB is that, for
variables such as the alarmModelVarbindIndex, the first two
obligatory varbinds of the InformRequest-PDU and SNMPv2-Trap-PDU
need to be considered so the index values of the Trap-PDU and the
SMI need be adjusted by two. In the case of linkDown, the third
varbind would always be ifIndex.
3.7 Relation to Notification Log MIB
The Alarm MIB is intended to complement the Notification Log
MIB[RFC3014], but can be used independently. The alarmActiveTable
is defined in manner similar to that of the nlmLogTable. This
format allows for the storage of any Trap or Notification type that
can be defined using the SMI, or can be carried by SNMP. Using the
same format as the Notification Log MIB also simplifies operations
for systems choosing to implement both MIBs.
The object alarmActiveLogPointer points, for each entry in the
alarmActiveLogTable, to the log index in the Notification Log MIB,
if used.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 9]
Alarm MIB February 2004
If the Notification Log MIB is supported, it can be monitored by a
management system as a hedge against lost alarms. The Notification
Log can also be used to support historical alarm management.
3.8 Relationship with the Event MIB
During the work and discussions in the Working Group, the issue of
the relationship between the MIB modules and the Event MIB [RFC2981]
was raised. There is no direct relation or dependency between the
Alarm MIB and the Event MIB. Some common terms (like 'event') are
being used in both MIB modules, and the user is directed to the
sections that define terminology in the two documents for
clarification.
4. Generic Alarm MIB
4.1 Overview
The ALARM-MIB consists of alarm models and lists of active and
cleared alarms.
The alarmModelTable contains information that is applicable to all
instances of an alarm. It can be populated at start-up with all
alarms that could happen on a system or later configured by a
management application. It contains all the alarms for a given
system. If a Notification is not represented in the
alarmModelTable, it is not an alarm state transition. The
alarmModelTable provides a means of defining the raise/clear and
other state transition relationships between alarm states. The
alarmModelIndex acts as a unique identifier for an alarm. An alarm
model consists of definitions of the possible states an alarm can
assume as well as the Object Identifier (OID) of the Notification
associated with this alarm state. The object alarmModelState defines
the states of an alarm.
The alarmActiveTable contains a list of alarms that are currently
occurring on a system. It is intended that this table be queried
upon device discovery and rediscovery to determine which alarms are
currently active on the device.
The alarmActiveVariableTable contains the Notification variable
bindings associated with the alarms in the alarmActiveTable.
The alarmActiveStatsTable contains current and total raised alarm
counts as well as the time of the last alarm raise and alarm clears
per named alarm list.
The alarmClearTable contains recently cleared alarms. It contains up
to alarmClearMaximum cleared alarms.
The MIB also defines generic alarm Notifications that can be used
when there is not an existing applicable Notification to signal the
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 10]
Alarm MIB February 2004
alarm state transition - alarmActiveState and alarmClearState.
4.1.1 Extensibility
The relationship between the Alarm MIB and the other alarm model MIB
modules is expressed by the following: The alarmModelTable has a
corresponding table in the specific MIB. For each row in the
specific MIB alarm model table there is one row in the
alarmModelTable. The alarmActiveTable has a corresponding table in
the specific MIBs. For each row in the specific MIB active alarm
table, there is one row in the alarmActiveTable. The
alarmModelSpecificPointer object in the alarmModelTable points to
the specific model entry in an extended alarm model table
corresponding to this particular alarm. The
alarmActiveSpecificPointer object in the alarmActiveTable points to
the specific active alarm entry in an extended active alarm table
corresponding to this particular alarm instance.
Additional extensions can be defined by defining an AUGEMENTATION of
either the Alarm or ITU Alarm tables. As the alarm model table only
provides a mechanism to point at one specific alarm model,
additional specific models SHOULD define another mechanism to map
from the generic alarm model to the additional model.
4.1.2 Problem Indication
The problem that each alarm indicates is identified through the
Object Identifier of the NotificationId of the state transition,
and, optionally, the ITU parameters. alarmModelDescription provides
a description of the alarm state suitable for displaying to an
operator.
4.1.3 Alarm State Transition Notification
The SNMP-TARGET-MIB [RFC3413] provides the ability to specify which
managers, if any, receive Notifications of problems. Solutions can
therefore use the features of this MIB to change the Notification
behaviour of their implementations. Specifying target hosts in this
MIB along with specifying notifications in the
alarmModelNotificationId would allow Notifications to be logged and
sent out to management stations in an architecture as described in
section 3.2. Specifying no target hosts in this MIB along with
specifying notifications in the alarmModelNotificationId would allow
Notifications to be logged but not sent out to management stations
in an architecture as described in section 3.2. Regardless of what
is defined in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB, specifying { 0 0 } in the
alarmModelNotificationId would result in no notifications being
logged or sent to management stations as a consequence of this
particular alarm state transition.
Alarms are modelled by defining all possible states in the
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 11]
Alarm MIB February 2004
alarmModelTable, as well as defining alarmModelNotificationId,
alarmModelVarbindIndex, and alarmModelVarbindValue for each of the
possible alarm states. Optionally, ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity models
the states in terms of ITU perceived severity.
4.1.4 Active Alarm Resource Identifier
Resources under alarm can be identified using the
alarmActiveResourceId. This OBJECT IDENTIFIER points to an
appropriate object to identify the given resource, depending on the
type of the resource.
The consumer of the alarmActiveResourceId does not necessarily need
to know the type of the resource in the resource ID, but if they
want to know this, examining the content of the resource ID can
derive it - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.something is an interface, for
example. It is therefore good practice to use resource IDs that can
be consistently used across technologies, such as ifIndex,
entPhysicalIndex or sysApplRunIndex, to minimize the number of
resource prefixes a manager interested in a resource type needs to
learn.
Resource ID can be calculated using the alarmModelResourcePrefix,
alarmModelVarbindSubtree and the Notification varbinds. This allows
for both the managed element to be able to compute and populate the
alarmActiveResourceId object and for the manager to be able to
determine when two separate alarm instances are referring to the
same resource.
If alarmModelResourcePrefix has a value of 0.0, then
alarmActiveResourceId is simply the variable identifier of the first
Notification varbind that matches the prefix defined in
alarmModelVarbindSubtree. Otherwise, alarmActiveResourceId is
calculated by appending the instance information from the first
Notification varbind that matches alarmModelVarbindSubtree to the
prefix defined in alarmModelResourcePrefix. The instance information
is the portion of the variable identifier following the part that
matched alarmModelVarbindSubtree. If no match is found, then
alarmActiveResourceId is simply the value of
alarmModelResourcePrefix.
In addition to this, the variable bindings from the Notifications
that signal the alarm state transitions are stored in the active
alarm variable table. This allows for implementations familiar with
the particular Notifications to implement other forms of resource
identification.
For Example:
A) Consider an alarm modelled using the authenticationFailure
[RFC3418] Notification.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 12]
Alarm MIB February 2004
authenticationFailure NOTIFICATION-TYPE
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the SNMPv2
entity, acting in an agent role, has received a protocol
message that is not properly authenticated. While all
implementations of the SNMPv2 must be capable of generating
this trap, the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object indicates
whether this trap will be generated."
::= { snmpTraps 5 }
To set the resource ID to be usmStats, 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1,
configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
alarmModelResourcePrefix = usmStats (1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1)
B) Consider an alarm modelled using linkDown [RFC2863]
linkDown NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
""
::= { snmpTraps 3 }
To set the resource Id to be the ifIndex, configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = ifIndex (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1)
alarmModelResourcePrefix = 0.0
Alternatively, since ifIndex is the first varbind, the following
would also work, but might be less meaningful to a human reader
of the MIB table:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
alarmModelResourcePrefix = 0.0
C) Consider an alarm modelled using the bgpBackwardTransition
[RFC1657] Notification.
bgpBackwardTransition NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { bgpPeerLastError,
bgpPeerState }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The BGPBackwardTransition Event is generated
when the BGP FSM moves from a higher numbered
state to a lower numbered state."
::= { bgpTraps 2 }
To set the resource Id to be the bgpPeerRemoteAddr, the index to
the bgpTable, where bgpPeerState resides, configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = bgpPeerState
(1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2)
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 13]
Alarm MIB February 2004
alarmModelResourcePrefix = bgpPeerRemoteAddr
(1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.7)
4.1.5 Configurable Alarm Models
The alarm model table SHOULD be initially populated by the system.
The objects in alarmModelTable and ituAlarmTable have a MAX-ACCESS
of read-create, which allows managers to modify the alarm models to
suit their requirements.
4.1.6 Active Alarm Management
Lists of alarms currently active on an SNMP entity are stored in the
alarmActiveTable and, optionally, a model specific alarmTable, e.g.
the ituAlarmActiveTable.
4.1.7 Distributed Alarm Management
Distributed alarm management can be achieved by support of the Alarm
MIB on both the alarm detection point and on the mid-level manager.
This is facilitated by the ability to be able to store different
named alarm lists. A mid-level manager could create an alarmListName
for each of the devices it manages and therefore store separate
lists for each device. In addition, the context and IP addresses of
the alarm detection point are stored in the alarmActiveTable.

5. ITU Alarm
5.1 Overview
This MIB module defines alarm information specific to the alarm
model defined in ITU M.3100 [M.3100], X.733[X.733] and X.736[X.736].
This MIB module follows the modular architecture defined by the
Alarm MIB, in which the generic Alarm MIB can be augmented by other
alarm information defined according to more specific models that
define additional behaviour and characteristics.
The ituAlarmTable contains information from the ITU Alarm Model
about possible alarms in the system.
The ituAlarmActiveTable contains information from the ITU Alarm
Model about alarms modeled using the ituAlarmTable that are
currently occurring on the system.
The ituAlarmActiveStatsTable provides statistics on current and
total alarms.
5.2 IANA Considerations
Over time, there will be a need to add new IANAITUEventType and
IANAItuProbableCause enumerated values. The Internet Assigned Number
Authority (IANA) is responsible for the assignment of the
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 36]
Alarm MIB February 2004
enumerations in these TCs.
IANAItuProbableCause value of 0 is reserved for special purposes and
MUST NOT be assigned. Values of IANAItuProbableCause in the range 1
to 1023 are reserved for causes that correspond to ITU-T probable
cause. All other requests for new causes will be handled on a
first-come, with 1025.
Request should come in the form of well-formed SMI [RFC2578] for
enumeration names that are unique and sufficiently descriptive.
While some effort will be taken to ensure that new enumerations do
not conceptually duplicate existing enumerations it is acknowledged
that the existence of conceptual duplicates in the starting probable
cause list is an known industry reality.
To aid IANA in the administration of probable cause names and
values, the OPS Area Director will appoint one or more experts to
help review requests.
See http://www.iana.org
The following shall be used as the initial values, but the latest
values for these textual conventions should be obtained from IANA:

6. Examples
6.1 Alarms Based on linkUp/linkDown Notifications
This example demonstrates an interface-based alarm that goes into a
state of "warning" when a linkDown Notification [RFC2863] occurs but
the ifAdminStatus indicates the interface was taken down
administratively. If IfAdminStatus is "up" when the linkDown
Notification occurs, then there is a problem, so the state of the
alarm is critical. A linkUp alarm clears the alarm.

6.2 Temperature Alarms Using Generic Notifications
Consider a system able to detect four different temperature
states for a widget - normal, minor, major, critical. The
system does not have any Notification definitions for these
alarm states. A temperature alarm can be modelled using the
generic alarm Notifications of alarmClearState and alarmActive.

6.3 Temperature Alarms Without Notifications
Consider a system able to detect four different temperature
states for a widget - normal, minor, major, critical. The
system does not have any Notification definitions for these
alarm states. A temperature alarm can be modelled without
specifying any Notifications in the alarm model. When a
temperature state other than normal is detected, an instance
of this alarm would be added to the active alarm table, but
no Notifications would be sent out.
This could alternatively be accomplished using the models from
example 6.2 and by not specifying any target managers in the
SNMP-TARGET-MIB, which would allow the alarm state
Notifications to be logged in the Notification Log while
still preventing Notifications from being transmitted
on the wire.

6.4 Printer MIB Alarm Example
Consider the following Notifications defined in the
printer MIB [RFC1759]:
prtAlertSeverityLevel OBJECT-TYPE
-- This value is a type 1 enumeration
SYNTAX INTEGER {
other(1),
critical(3),
warning(4)
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 60]
Alarm MIB February 2004
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The level of severity of this alert table entry. The printer
determines the severity level assigned to each entry into the
table."
::= { prtAlertEntry 2 }
printerV2Alert NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { prtAlertIndex, prtAlertSeverityLevel, prtAlertGroup,
prtAlertGroupIndex, prtAlertLocation, prtAlertCode }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This trap is sent whenever a critical event is added to the
prtAlertTable."
::= { printerV2AlertPrefix 1 }
These Notifications can be used to model a printer alarm as
follows:
alarmModelIndex 9
alarmModelState 1
alarmModelNotificationId alarmClearState
alarmModelVarbindIndex 0
alarmModelVarbindValue 0
alarmModelDescription "Printer Alarm"
alarmModelSpecificPointer 0.0

6.5 RMON Alarm Example
The RMON MIB [RFC2819] defines a mechanism for generating
threshold alarms. When the thresholds are crossed,
RisingAlarm and FallingAlarm Notifications are
generated as appropriate. These Notifications can
be used to model an upper threshold alarm as follows:
alarmModelIndex 6
alarmModelState 1
alarmModelNotificationId FallingAlarm
alarmModelVarbindIndex 0
alarmModelVarbindValue 0
alarmModelDescription "RMON Rising Clear Alarm"
alarmModelSpecificPointer 0.0
alarmModelVarbindSubtree alarmIndex
alarmModelResourcePrefix 0.0
alarmModelRowStatus active (1)
alarmModelIndex 6
alarmModelState 2
alarmModelNotificationId RisingAlarm
alarmModelVarbindIndex 0
alarmModelVarbindValue 0
alarmModelDescription "RMON Rising Alarm"
alarmModelSpecificPointer 0.0
alarmModelVarbindSubtree alarmIndex
alarmModelResourcePrefix 0.0
alarmModelRowStatus active (1)
6.6 The Lifetime of an Alarm
The following example demonstrates the relationship between
the active alarm table, the clear alarm table and the
Notification Log MIB.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 62]
Alarm MIB February 2004
Consider a system with alarms modelled as in example 1 and which
also supports the informational Notification dsx3LineStatusChange.
dsx3LineStatusChange NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { dsx3LineStatus,
dsx3LineStatusLastChange }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A dsx3LineStatusChange trap is sent when the
value of an instance of dsx3LineStatus changes. It
can be utilized by an NMS to trigger polls. When
the line status change results in a lower level
line status change (i.e. ds1), then no traps for
the lower level are sent."
::= { ds3Traps 0 1 }
0. At system start, the active alarm table, alarm clear table and
the Notification Log are all empty.

1. Some time later, a link goes down generating a linkDown
Notification, which is sent out and logged in the
Notification Log. As this Notification is modelled as
an alarm state, an entry is added to the active alarm
table.

is not modelled into an alarm state, the active alarm table
remains unchanged.

7. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such
objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations.
The following objects are defined with a MAX-ACCESS clause of
read-write or read-create: alarmModelNotificationId,
alarmModelVarbindIndex, alarmModelVarbindValue,
alarmModelDescription, alarmModelSpecificPointer,
alarmModelVarbindSubtree, alarmModelResourcePrefix,
alarmModelRowStatus, alarmClearMaximum, ituAlarmEventType,
ituAlarmProbableCause, ituAlarmAdditionalText, and
ituAlarmGenericModel.
Note that setting the value of alarmClearMaximum too low may result
in security related alarms history being prematurely lost.
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 66]
Alarm MIB February 2004
Changing values of alarmModelRowStatus as part of creating and
deleting rows in the alarmModelTable result in adding new alarm
models to the system or taking them out respectively. These
operations need to be carefully planned. Adding a new model should
be made in a consistent manner to avoid the system overflow with
alarms. Taking out a model should result in the deletion of all this
model's related alarms in the system.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the
objects in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features
as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
Note that the alarm throttling mechanism associated with the
alarmActiveState and alarmActiveClear notifications only applies to
a given alarm. Defining multiple alarms from the same internal
stimulus may then still result in a flood of alarms into the network.
Although the use of community strings in SNMPv1 is not considered an
effective means of providing security, security administrators
SHOULD consider whether the fact that alarmActiveContextName can
reveal community string values would make this object sensitive in
their environment.
This MIB module can provide access to information that may also be
accessed through manipulation of the SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB and the
NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB. This is expressed in part through the common
indexing structure of nlmLogName [RFC3014],
snmpNotifyFilterProfileName [RFC3413], and alarmListName.
Consequently, it is RECOMMENDED that security administrators take
care to configure a coherent VACM security policy. The objects
alarmActiveLogPointer, alarmActiveModelPointer,
alarmActiveSpecificPointer, and alarmClearModelPointer are object
identifiers that reference information to which a particular user
might not be given direct access. The structure of these object
identifiers does not permit the extraction of any sensitive
information. Two other objects, alarmClearResourceId, and
Chisholm & Romascanu Standards Track [Page 67]
Alarm MIB February 2004
alarmActiveResourceId, are also syntactically object identifiers,
but their structure could provide a user with potentially useful
information to which he or she might not otherwise be granted
access, such as the existence of a particular resource.
For further discussion of security, see section 3.4.
