I am working on an SNMP agent for a new product and was confronted with the requirement to be compatible with the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP). The product is ethernet based and uses Internet addressing (UDP/IP). Although this is not OSI standards, is there a problem of using SNMP for your network management protocol? Can you use SNMP and Internet on the same computer as GOSIP? Any clarification or added information would be of great valure!    Thanks, Russ Lund (russl@ecs.comm.m

Regarding CMIP, can somebody please give me a pointer to any (and all)
RFCs relating to this protocol?  FAQs if appropriate?  

Replies to  'hissam@cards.com'  would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I know this is SNMP oriented, but does anyone know of a software package that
does CMIP and SNMP?  Even just CMIP is fine.  Any platform is okay also.

There are no RFCs for CMIP. It is standardized by ISO and CCITT. 
The protocol is in the X.700 series of CCITT recommendations and 
in the 10165 and 10164 series of ISO standards. The CCITT and ISO 
versions are identical so you don't need them both.

Surely any network management station worth its money allows the loading of
such MIBs.  we use HP openview (Network node manager) to manage hubs
from allied -telesis (3612T) although they are still using a draft of the
hub mib which is like 1348 but still in the experimental subtree.

Interop Spring 1993: Birds of a Feather

Creating A Standard SNMP API for Microsoft Windows

John F. Moehrke, Frontier Technologies Corp.
WinSnmp@FrontierTech.COM


With the unprecedented success of Microsoft 
Windows 3.x, the efforts of the Windows 
Sockets Specification, and the need for 
Management among numorous network nodes, there 
is a need to define a standard interface for
Network Management. The SNMP Protocol and 
MIB-II provide a powerful base to work with, 
and build on. Without a standard method of 
extending the information base, Windows hosts 
provide nothing but statistics. As more and 
more systems come online there becomes a need
to manage more than what MIB-II provides. 

What this BOF will discuss is the need to make 
available an open interface that will allow 
a network management vendor to provide a 
management station and extended MIBs for each 
SNMP Agent. With this open standard interface
will come network managers that can update 
a Windows system, change printers, configure 
new file servers, and much more. Only with
an open standard can we ensure that the
network management stations can do an
effective task.

Hewlett-Packard sells an extensible agent for SunOS and for HP/UX.
Their extensible agent allows the system manager to build MIB extensions

We have done exhaustive testing in trying to pinpoint why JES2
is waiting anywhere from 1-4 seconds between sending blocks
to a Sun emulating a 3770 SNA/RJE station. This includes Sniffer
and GTF traces that show the link idle for the above time while
we wait for JES2 to send the next block.


What can we do to "tune" JES2?  We have gone through tuning the NCP and cannot
see any better results.  Is there some buffer pool tuning that can be done to
"pre-read" disk spool data in JES2 so that spool data can be sent from the 
buffer pool instead of waiting to read the disk? Is there internal throttle that
JES2 is using that can be modified?

    1) probably not a lot whole lot, NOTIFY is a status message.

    2) Most SNA implementations don't care about the reserve bits...  it 
       doesn't hurt to explicitly clear them all though.  

    3) DR1 = Definate Response 1 Indicator - used in combination with
             DR2 and ERI to indicate what form of response is requested.
             Generally the response type should be the same type as the
             request ( If a response is sent, the DR bits should match 
             those set in the request). More on the exact working of 
             these bits can be found in the Formats manual and/or the
             FAPLs ( note there is a seperate FAPL for LU6.2 )

    If you're not in NRM, then you can't receive an ACTLU.  The state
    information for ACTLUs is in the FAPL.
    You may also want to reference an SDLC manual ( if that's what you're
    working with ) - IBM SDLC - G27-3093.

    There are other vendors that offer 3270 for the Sun, notably

    You'll need an LU 6.2 Transaction Program in addition to LU 6.2
    itself for that.  IBM has some....so does Spectrum Concepts (or
    whatever their name is this week).  The Spectrum Concepts XCOM
    6.2 is allegedly one of the faster ones....but you'll need a
    copy on both the mainframe and your Suns to use it...and LU 6.2.

  Can someone tell me which - if any - document(s) (IBM or otherwise)
  explain the innards of DLC protocol?  SNA frames in general?

  I have a couple documents which help some, the 3174 Functional
  Description [June 1991] and the SNA Reference Summary Booklet.
  (I'm not sure of the exact names right now but these are close).
  These books help some, especially the latter.  It has the general
  breakdown of the TH, RH, & RU as well as excruciating detail of the
  SNA & DLC commands.

  There is an awful lot in both these documents but I have come
  across some things in writing, modifying, and testing 3174 controller
  code that I can't seem to find the answers to.  Some of these are:
  What do I screw up if I accidentally send the host two consecutive
  NOTIFYs?  In this case, is the reception of a sense message good
  enough to continue or am I hosed up from then on?  (I. e, pending
  my fixing that particular problem, is the rest of what I see okay?)
  What do I do if the reserved bit of byte0 of the RH is set sometimes
  and not others?  What exactly is the meaning of the DR1 bit?
  There are more.

  I have found many answers by just asking people I work with.
  But when I ask where anyone ever found these things out, they
  ALWAYS say "I don't remember" or "Someone told me that once."

  For that matter, does anyone know where I can find a state
  machine/graph/chart/whatever of what is to be returned to
  the host depending what is received in whatever mode?  (For
  example, an ACTLU in NRM).

  I have no problem getting my employer to order what I need if I
  can just find out what would help the most.  As most people know,
  the list of IBM manuals - even for the most narrow subject - is huge!
  Maybe there are a couple manuals I have missed that have fallen
  through the cracks that would fit the bill.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks!
