School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE) CEG 4395: Computer Network Management, Winter 2008 Assignment 2 Due:

March 10 2008; 5:30PM, in the box. 1. An SNMP manager sends a request to a router asking for the values of the sysDescr object in the systems group, and the ifType object in the interfaces group for ifIndex value of 2, both in one message. If on the router, sysDescr=NetComp Inc. Router 45000 and there is no ifIndex 2, write the PDU with the fields filled in for: a. the get-request PDU b. the get-response PDU 2. An SNMPv2 compliant router from NetComp Inc. has the following ipAddrTable object. The bold column identifies the INDEX.
RowStatus IpAdEntAddr IpAdEntIfIndex IpAdEntBcastAddr
IpAdEntReasmMaxSize

1 1 1 1

123.45.2.1 123.45.3.4 165.8.9.25 9.96.8.138

1 3 2 4

0 1 0 0

12000 12000 10000 15000

a) In its next version of the MIB for this router, NetComp decides to add a proprietary column called IpAdEntPhysAddress, which would indicate the physical address for a given interface. The resulting table would look like this:
RowStatus IpAdEntAddr IpAdEntIfIndex IpAdEntBcastAddr
IpAdEntReasmMaxSize
IpAdEntPhysAddress

1 1 1 1

123.45.2.1 123.45.3.4 165.8.9.25 9.96.8.138

1 3 2 4

0 1 0 0

12000 12000 10000 15000

00-11-43-03-6A-6D NULL 00-11-42-03-6B-7A 01-13-35-03-66-9B

Using table augmentation, write the necessary ASN.1 Macro code to add this new table in the MIB.

b) Add the following row to this new table using create-and-wait mode, and draw the sequence diagram demonstrating the communications between the manager and the agent.
status IpAdEntAddr IpAdEntIfIndex IpAdEntBcastAddr
IpAdEntReasmMaxSize IpAdEntPhysAddress

133.47.1.14
