                         Host Resources MIB

Status of this Memo

 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
 Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
 improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
 Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
 and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

 This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
 for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
 This memo obsoletes RFC 1514, the "Host Resources MIB". This memo
 extends that specification by clarifying changes based on
 implementation and deployment experience and documenting the Host
 Resources MIB in SMIv2 format while remaining semantically identical
 to the existing SMIv1-based MIB.
 This memo defines a MIB for use with managing host systems.  The term
 "host" is construed to mean any computer that communicates with other
 similar computers attached to the internet and that is directly used
 by one or more human beings. Although this MIB does not necessarily
 apply to devices whose primary function is communications services
 (e.g., terminal servers, routers, bridges, monitoring equipment),
 such relevance is not explicitly precluded.  This MIB instruments
 attributes common to all internet hosts including, for example, both
 personal computers and systems that run variants of Unix.

1. The SNMP Management Framework

 The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
 components:
 o   An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571].
 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 STD
     16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC 1215
     [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD
     58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and RFC 2580
     [RFC2580].
 o   Message protocols for transferring management information. The
     first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
     described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the
     SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
     protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901]
     and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message protocol
     is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906], RFC 2572
     [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].

Waldbusser & Grillo Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2790 Host Resources MIB March 2000

 o   Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
     first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
     described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of protocol
     operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
     [RFC1905].
 o   A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC2573]
     and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
     [RFC2575].
 A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
 can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570].
 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.

2. Host Resources MIB

 The Host Resources MIB defines a uniform set of objects useful for
 the management of host computers.  Host computers are independent of
 the operating system, network services, or any software application.
 The Host Resources MIB defines objects which are common across many
 computer system architectures.
 In addition, there are objects in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC1907] and IF-MIB
 [RFC2233] which also provide host management functionality.
 Implementation of the System and Interfaces groups is mandatory for
 implementors of the Host Resources MIB.
 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 [RFC2119].

3. IANA Considerations

 This MIB contains type definitions for storage types, device types,
 and file system types for use as values for the hrStorageType,
 hrDeviceType, and hrFSType objects, respectively. As new computing
 technologies are developed, new types need to be registered for these
 technologies. The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is
 designated as the registration authority for new registrations beyond
 those published in this document. The IANA will maintain the HOST-
 RESOURCES-TYPES module as new registrations are added and publish new
 versions of this module.
 Given the large number of such technologies and potential confusion
 in naming of these technologies (such as a technology known by two
 names or a name and an acronym), there is a real danger that more
 than one registration might be created for what is essentially the
 same technology. In order to ensure that future type registrations
 are performed correctly, applications for new types will be reviewed
 by a Designated Expert appointed by the IESG.

    DESCRIPTION
        "Clarifications and bug fixes based on implementation
        experience.  This revision was also reformatted in the SMIv2
        format. The revisions made were:
        New RFC document standards:
           Added Copyright notice, updated introduction to SNMP
           Framework, updated references section, added reference to
           RFC 2119, and added a meaningful Security Considerations
           section.
        New IANA considerations section for registration of new types
        Conversion to new SMIv2 syntax for the following types and
        macros:
            Counter32, Integer32, Gauge32, MODULE-IDENTITY,
            OBJECT-TYPE, TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, OBJECT-IDENTITY,

            InterfaceIndexOrZero
        Fixed typo in hrPrinterStatus.
        Added missing error bits to hrPrinterDetectedErrorState and
        clarified confusion resulting from suggested mappings to
        hrPrinterStatus.

Waldbusser & Grillo Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 2790 Host Resources MIB March 2000

        Clarified that size of objects of type
        InternationalDisplayString is number of octets, not number
        of encoded symbols.
        Clarified the use of the following objects based on
        implementation experience:
            hrSystemInitialLoadDevice, hrSystemInitialLoadParameters,
            hrMemorySize, hrStorageSize, hrStorageAllocationFailures,

         these OBJECT IDENTIFIERs are allocated such that all
         products from a particular manufacturer are registered
         under a subtree distinct to that manufacturer.  In
         addition, all versions of a product should be
         registered under a subtree distinct to that product.
         With this strategy, a management station may uniquely
         determine the manufacturer and/or model of a product
         whose productID is unknown to the management station.
         Objects of this type may be useful for inventory
         purposes or for automatically detecting
         incompatibilities or version mismatches between
         various hardware and software components on a system.
         For example, the product ID for the ACME 4860 66MHz
         clock doubled processor might be:
         enterprises.acme.acmeProcessors.a4860DX2.MHz66

         logical area of storage that is allocated and has
         fixed resource limits.  The amount of storage
         represented in an entity is the amount actually usable
         by the requesting entity, and excludes loss due to
         formatting or file system reference information.
         These entries are associated with logical storage
         areas, as might be seen by an application, rather than
         physical storage entities which are typically seen by
         an operating system.  Storage such as tapes and
         floppies without file systems on them are typically
         not allocated in chunks by the operating system to
         requesting applications, and therefore shouldn't
         appear in this table.  Examples of valid storage for
         this table include disk partitions, file systems, ram
         (for some architectures this is further segmented into
         regular memory, extended memory, and so on), backing
         store for virtual memory (`swap space').
         This table is intended to be a useful diagnostic for
         `out of memory' and `out of buffers' types of

6. Internationalization Considerations

 This MIB has many objects that identify file-system pathnames on the
 managed host. Many file systems allow pathnames to be encoded in a
 variety of character sets (other than ASCII), but do not support the
 encoding of the actual character set used with the pathname. The
 implementation strategy is that user interfaces (i.e. character-based
 shells or graphical applications) will have configuration options
 that control with which character set they will interpret and display
 all pathnames. This is often a per-user configuration (e.g. an
 environment variable), so that users using different languages and
 character sets on a multi-user system may each work effectively with
 their preferred character set. A human usually controls this
 configuration. If an application is not configured or is configured
 incorrectly, it will often have trouble displaying pathnames in the
 intended character set.
 This situation made it important for this MIB to handle two issues:
 1) Pathname objects must be able to transfer a variety of character
    sets with potentially multi-byte encodings; and,

Waldbusser & Grillo Standards Track [Page 44] RFC 2790 Host Resources MIB March 2000

 2) HostMIB agents will generally not be correctly configured for the
    appropriate character set to be used for all files on the system,
    particularly on a system with multiple users using different
    character sets. It was thus impossible to mandate that the agent
    tag pathnames with the character set in use.
 These issues were solved with the introduction of the
 InternationalDisplayString textual convention, which supports multi-
 byte encodings. Network management stations should use a local
 algorithm to determine which character set is in use and how it
 should be displayed. It is expected that network management station
 applications will rely on human configuration to choose which
 character set in which to interpret InternationalDisplayString
 objects, much like an application running locally on that host.

7. Security Considerations

 There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
 have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write.  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 system operations.
 There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain
 sensitive information. The objects in the Running Software Group list
 information about running software on the system (including the
 operating system software and version).  Some may wish not to
 disclose to others what software they are running. Further, an
 inventory of the running software and versions may be helpful to an
 attacker who hopes to exploit software bugs in certain applications.
 The same issues exist for the objects in the Installed Software
 Group.
 It is thus important to control even GET access to these objects and
 possibly to even encrypt the values of these object when sending them
 over the network via SNMP.  Not all versions of SNMP provide features
 for such a secure environment.
 SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment.  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.
 It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
 features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework.  Specifically, the use
 of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View-
 based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.

Waldbusser & Grillo Standards Track [Page 45] RFC 2790 Host Resources MIB March 2000

 It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
 entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, 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.
