1 Introduction

1.1 What is FSO?

FSO is free space optics provides point-point broadband communications using

Laser Light as the transmission medium.

FSO is a state of art data communication method which is based on a very old

communication solution. Ancient Chinese developed a protection system against the

Mongol tribes, building watchtowers within the line of site to other towers. And as

soon as the towers saw some hostile sign on the horizon they use they shield to

reflect the sun to the remote towers. In this way the area could be prepared against

the attack in a very short period of time.
In the ancient times for this communication use the mirror

as a transmitter and the sunlight was the light source, and
the receiver was the remote guard’s eye. This basic
signalling method was developed later into up
communication device which used „line coding”. This
allowed the guards to tell the number of enemy, or the
direction they are coming from.

Current FSO systems use a laser-diode as a light source,
and a receptor diode (photo diode) to receive the signals
coming from the laser diode from the transmitter side. But
the basic elements are still the same: line of site between

the communication nodes, and individual line coding. It is all about performance.

GeoDesy FSO offers FSO systems with the highest power budget available on

the market.

1.2 Why is it important?

Because of in the ancient Chinese times, the rain, the fog, or even the cloudy

weather, could impact the operation of the whole system.

In the FSO units, comprising light source and receiver the cloud problem was

solved, but development conditions still can impair

performance. To go throw the rain, the fog, or snow you

need more and more power to be seen from the remote

side. Achievable power levels are limited by a number of

factors including eye safety.

In this way there is no other choice to see more than

„training the eye”. Making the receiver more and more

sensitive to sense delight emitted from the remote side.

GeoDesy FSO offers high transmit power and also

Fax.: [phone]

very hard receiver sensitivity. These two factors combined to provide one of the best

performing FSO systems on the market today.

To meet the demands for every higher bandwidth, GeoDesy FSO (Europe) Limited

continues to invest heavily in research and development with the newest product line

which offers Gigabit speeds being launched.

This manual describes the GeoDesy FSO Next series of free space laser

transmission system.

The GeoDesy FSO Next product range offers cost effective reliable free space

laser transmission for two Mbps up to 1000 Mbps data to the air, where a clean line

of site is available. It delivers the most effective point-to-point connection between

computer networks or telephone exchanges.

No need for installing cables, no rental costs, no licensing requirements.

Ideal for urban areas or city centres, where the use of these lines are expensive.

Suitable for factories or industrial environments where high noise level can interfere

with the transmitted data. The best choice to make a connection across rivers and

other natural or artificial obstacles, where cable is not available.

The transmission technique used in the GeoDesy FSO devices provides

transparent and wire-speed data transfer with virtually zero latency. Because they

use infrared light as the transmission medium, GeoDesy FSO system do not

require frequency licenses and the transmission is not effected by electro-magnetic

or radio-frequency interference. Basically the GeoDesy FSO link can be

considered as a virtual fibre in the air, which ends in real fibre optic cable at both

ends.

Our product is built using high quality components for operation in even the most

adverse conditions.

Metal housing gives robust, waterproof environment for the electronics.

The shield protects the device from direct sunlight and provides extra air isolation.

The GeoDesy FSO X systems comprise two laser-heads and the two indoor

interconnection units (OIU) - one at each end. The interface connections are housed

in the outdoor unit together with the PSU of the system.

Best practises were employed in cost engineering throughout the development of

GeoDesy FSO.

1.3 Optical Free-space Transmission

The principle used in free space laser transmission is very similar to the one is used

for fibre optic transmission. The difference is while fibre optic devices use electronics

and optics optimized for transmission to the air. Also one can observe to the

similarity in the transmission properties. No galvanic contact, no ground-loops, no

need for surge protection, noise immunity, long distances, high bandwidth.

What makes it unique – and difficult to design – is that it does not require any

transmission medium like fibre or copper, but it has to cope with the dynamically

changing parameters. For instance while the attenuation of an optical fibre is

constant, the attenuation of the atmosphere between the laser units can change

dramatically (depending on the weather conditions).

The laser-heads are usually placed on top of building, where the clean line of site is

guaranteed and the beam cannot be interrupted.

In the head the incoming signal is amplified, encoded, and then drives the laser-

diode. The transmitter optics assures the proper beam shape and controls the beam

divergence. The receive optics perceives and directs the transmitter signal to the

photo diode. The diode converts it back into electrical, than it is decoded, amplified

and converted.

There are several things that can influence the quality of transmission. We can

classify those factors into three main groups.

System conditions - transmitting power, transmitter’s wavelength, beam divergence,

receiver optics diameter, receiver sensitivity, parameters of optical system and

casing. These parameters determine the system’s characteristic at a certain

distance and are controlled by system design and factory set up.

Weather conditions - molecular absorption, particle scattering and turbulence. These

elements have great effect on the operational conditions of the system. We do not

have very much influence on them; proper product selection can eliminate the

undesirable effects.

Environmental conditions - building movements, direct sunlight, refractive surfaces.

These are also key factors related to the installation sites and can be controlled by

appropriate site survey and system installation

LAN

ISP

1.4 Typical applications

Most typically the GeoDesy FSO Next products are used to interconnect LAN-s.

The system is protocol transparent, thus other applications also can be taken into

consideration. Appropriate interface converters are needed and system bandwidth

must be matched for that.

Here we collected some circumstances, where the deployment of the GeoDesy

FSO is the most adequate as a cost effective solution.

Those are:

Areas with natural or artificial obstacles

Where cable is actually not an alternative, like across
rivers or railways or in rugged terrain.

Urban areas

Where only leased lines are available with

limited speed, and high rental cost. With

GeoDesy FSO links you can establish on line

LAN-to-LAN connections.

Industrial areas

Where you have noisy environment with high EMI or
RFI. Factory buildings, airport objects can be
connected through laser link.

ISP connections

Where high bandwidth is required. ISP’s can offer

high-speed links to their customers or trunks can be

established between ISP’s instead of expensive leased lines.

2 Interfaces for the X Series

2.1 100Mbps TP interface

The GeoDesy FSO X PoE series products are designed to provide easy-to-use

and cost-effective solution for interconnecting Local Area Networks. By utilizing

standard Category 5 cable and using standard IEEE802.3af interface the

deployment of the system is easier than ever before. The transparent and wire

speed data transfer together with virtually zero latency assures the easy integration

of the system in all environments.

The X PoE systems should be considered as repeaters in the network. So the

installation distance between the head and the network device is 100m. The

distance on a back to back site is maximum 5 meters, between the heads without

signal regeneration.

The X PoE systems connecting to the network with an RJ 45 cable which provides

the power required for operation and the data. The system requires IEEE 802.3af

Power over Ethernet switch or power injector. The power consumption suits to the

standards described in the standard. Also provides fast and easy connection for the

management system for more details please see the chapters below. The system is

certified Class 1M product, this way 100% eye safe.

3 Sites of installation

3.1 Key factors of operation

There are four key issues that the site survey has to shed light on. Proper system

operation cannot be guaranteed without satisfying all of the four requirements.

Clear line of sight - The entire optical path between the two ends must be free

of any obstacles. It not only means that one has to see the other side, but other

possible sources of disturbance should also be taken into consideration. For

example there might be turbulence above the roofs and other constructions, and this

can cause fraction or scattering of the beam or snow accumulation on roofs too

close to the beam can influence or even interrupt communication.

Solid mount surface - is the key for long-term operation. Since the diameter of

the beam is limited, it is extremely important to mount the unit on a stable structure

with the possible smallest movement. This way the receiver of the remote unit

cannot get out of the beam due to the movement of the opposite head.

East-West orientation - although the receiver optics are equipped with optical

filters to protect the receiver diode from the effect of undesired light sources, direct

sunshine can cause saturation of the diode. This prevents the system from working

properly for several minutes a day at certain times of the year. In most cases this

effect can be avoided by careful selection of the mounting spot.

In order to comply with the requirements of the successful installation - including the

discussed four key factors and other criteria - the following matters should be taken

into consideration.

3.2 Preferred installation sites

All buildings and constructions have a certain movement of their own. It’s

determined by the structure and material of the building. Metal structures can shift or

twist due to temperature changes. Wooden construction can expand or shrink with

any changes in humidity. Give preference to concrete or brick buildings. On the

other hand high structures like towers, skyscrapers or poles are always subject to

movement. Mount the support frame to walls of the building or near corners, as they

are the most stable spots. Use appropriate consoles for wall mounting. If a stand is

used on the top of

building, secure it directly to the ceiling or to the concrete cornice wherever is

possible. Do not fix stands to insulating materials as they can slowly sink under the

weight of the unit and with temperature changes. Big chimneys and smokestacks

may look stable, but as their inner temperature varies they can also move. Vibration

caused by heavy traffic, trains and elevators etc. may slowly move the system out of

its specified direction. Another important consideration is to provide enough space

for alignment and to have the potential for future maintenance. Consider that the

support frame is usually heavy, so the selected spot should be easily accessible.

Preferred installation

Pay attention to Avoid (*)

sites

Concrete wall Behind window Soft materials
Brick wall Old constructs Chimneys
Microwave towers Wooden constructs
Metal masts or Frames
Hidden heat isolations,

like Styrofoam

(*)

In cases where installations are listed under “AVOID” cannot be avoided than special mounting

accessories to be designed and special installations must be used.

It is not only the building that has to be solid, but the support structure too. Antenna

poles and security camera holders are not suitable for the GeoDesy FSO units.

3.3 Distance measurement

Because the units were designed, and calibrated for certain distance operations the

higher distance will decrease the availability. GeoDesy FSO pre-calibrates and pre-

tests every unit shipped to the customer. To ensure that the unit you are about to

buy fits to the needs, the first step
is to measure the distance. The
best way to measure it is by GPS
(Global Positioning
System), these units
are accurate enough to
determine the distance
between two points.
For more details
please refer to the
GPS manufacturer
handbook. Also there are several
other ways to measure the
distance. If you know the exact

address you can use mapping software like MapPoint or Auto route.

3.4 Direct sunshine

To prevent the sun

shining directly into the

receiver optics, first one

has to determine the

orientation of the link.

Try to avoid East-West

orientation wherever it

is possible. Examine

both sides of the link at

sunset and sunrise and

find a position where

the sun cannot get

behind any of the heads. Be aware that the path of the sun is changing throughout

the year.

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION

4 Eye safety

There are no two installation spots of the same kind, the buildings or structures, the

available space and the accessibility of the place will be different in each case.

Nevertheless, as a general rule it is very important to select the installation site so

that nobody can look directly into the transmitter. For this reason place the head

either so high (on the side wall of the building) or so close to the edge of the building

(on a parapet on the rooftop) that no person can approach it accidentally and can

get into the beam path. Set up barriers if necessary and put warning signs at

prominent places.

The laser heads are provided with all labels and hazard warnings required by the

laser standard. There are warning labels on both the left and right side of the

protective cover next to the optical window and there is a warning and an informative

label on the rear side of the laser head.

6 System installation

6.1 On the table test

Warning! Do not look either into the transmitter or the receiver optics because at

this distance even the reflected laser beam can be dangerous to your eyes.

Operating the system on much shorter distance than presumed originally can cause

saturation or even permanent damage to the receiver. Always use optical

attenuators for this kind of test.

The on-the-table test needs careful planning and careful use during the test period.

The units should be placed at about 2 m distance from each other with optical

windows facing one another. Put an appropriate optical attenuator (Attenuating foil

or cardboard with several small holes) between the heads. Make all the necessary

connection as described below to connect your network equipment (computer or

protocol analyzer) to the heads and power up the units. Turn ON the Poe injector

and check if the power LED is ON on the head.

You should be able to align the units without any tool and get full received level on

the signal strength LED’s. Make sure that the “Saturation” indicator is OFF. Adjust

your attenuators if necessary to avoid saturation of the receivers.

Please note that at this short distance, specially the longer distance links can reflect

to the remote site or even to the same head. If you experience full receiving level,

with no traffic throughput, in that case try to move the heads slightly units out of the

reflection zone.

Please also take in consideration that the laser beam is concentrated and in such a

short distance can harm your eyes, every time you test the units on short distance,

do it with extra care. Never look into the sighting device if the remote laser is turned

on. We strongly suggest to double check the power connection before you turn on

the device. Handle the power connection with extra care. Safety first.

After obtaining the desired received level, check the data connection between

devices. Using computers or appropriate testing devices.

On the table tests are perfect for troubleshooting (If there is a transmission problem,

check the status of the connecting devices (e.g. Link signal or cable polarity) and

cables.) in a controlled area. If you experience some problems during the test,

please try to test the connected equipments with a direct connection.

6.2 AF adjustment method

What is AF after all? AF stands for Auto Focus. Geodesy FSO Pinto Next AF

is equipped with the lates innovation from Geodesy. An automatic focusing control

system. The system is capable of changing its beam divergency depending on the

changes of the environment. In the case if the weather gets bad, the system will

decrease the beam size, to concentrate the distributed beam power, to ensure more

stable operation.

IMPORTANT! Auto focus adjustment does not work if there is no remote level!

Remote connection required for the Auto focus adjustment.

The installation of the Pinto Next AF is pretty much the same as the standard

system installation. To make sure that the AF system won’t kick in during the

alignment, ensure that the AF is set to disabled, which is the factory default.

The default settings of the Auto Focus (AF) laser heads is manual mode (disabled).

The factory beam divergence is set for 750m, this way the alignment of the system

will be easy on every installation distance.

Please do not change the setting of the AF laser heads to auto focus when there is

no connection between the two heads.

Alignment steps

1. using the crosshair align the units into a roughly aligned position. Please note
that the alignment scope will not be able to provide with a perfect alignment,
this will have to be done using the fine alignment screws referring to the
received level screen on the LCD panel.

2. using the fine adjustment screws on the alignment base set the units to the
highest received level possible. (for further details on how to perform the fine
adjustment refer to 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 chapters)

Default distance setting of all Pinto Next AF laser heads for 750m. As you can
see in below sketch, “+25 STEP” equals ~ 2 cm larger laser beam over 100 meters.

For example, if you would like to install the laser heads over 350 meters than you
will need smaller beam size to reach bigger distance (compared to the default
750m), so click on “-100 STEP” which will make the laser beam narrower and will
be proper for 850m. While clicking on the “STEP” buttons please check the remote
received level on the laser head.

Please perform the same operation on the other side.

3. After we have got the proper level, please click on “Save position as default”
button. As you have clicked on the “Save position as default” button the laser
heads will enable the AUTO FOCUS mode (enabled). The equipment will
automatically improve the remote level to the most ideal position.

Alignment of the X series

The first step after the unit was placed to the

bracket, and turns the units facing each

other.

On the back of the receiver you can find

the LEDs for the local received level and

the remote received level. This help will be very useful because as soon as you have

received – which is very easy to achieve – you can see the effect of your local sides

movement to the other side. For further information please check the Meanings of

the LEDs chapter.

6.2.1 How to use the alignment
base

1. Loose the Coarse locker on the
horizontal as well as on the
vertical side with a 10mm
spanner

2. Move the head left - right up

down you should use the built in
telescope to lit up a few LEDs on
the remote end.

3. When you have lined the unit up

to a rough position lock the
coarse locker with a 10mm
spanner.

4. Repeat step 1-4 on the remote

end.

5. On the bottom of the unit you can find fine tuning screws one for horizontal
and one for vertical.

6. No tightening is needed on any other screw than the coarse locker.

Trick for the reliable alignment

Please note that the beam has a powerfull ring on the side of the head and easily can be

help. Or contact GeoDesy FSO technical support.

set to this ring but this is far not as big as the core
part of the beam. So every time you have an
alignment please make sure that when you see the
maximum LED s or a relativly high received level.
Keep on moving to determine where the core part of
the beam is. This can be done easily by looking at
the received level you will see that the received level moves up then it will start move
down than up again. During this time you just had the head moving into one direction. If
you have any doubt on how to do the alignment please contact your distributor for further

7 Management

7.1 Features

The Inband network-monitoring unit is a newly developed highly featured monitoring

for GeoDesy FSO manufactured laser links. This high quality equipment allows the

user to monitor the link statuses such as detector voltage transmitter status, and

many other features of the Laser link. Nevertheless, this chapter is intended to

describe the usage of this network monitoring, and its connection and relationship

with the GeoDesy FSO laserheads.

The Monitoring system is a standard feature in the PicoXp and PintoXp systems. For

PicoXs and PintoXs it is an optional and has to be activated. After the activation was

purchased, with the invoice number, and the device serial number contact GeoDesy

FSO technical support, for activation code. For further information check Activation

chapter.

Inband monitoring is providing information about

Login Screen and password

The GeoDesy FSO unit arrives with preset values. Such

as user name and password. We strongly recommend

you to change the password after the unit was installed.

The default username is admin, and the password is

admin. If you forget your password contact technical

support to receive your fail-safe password.

Head information screen

The head information screen is the main navigation panel through this screen you

will be able to navigate into the submenu, of the monitoring system.

Device Name: displays the name of the device. Individually can be changed

Total Uptime: Diplays the lapsed time from the last boot of the device

IP address: Displays the IP(Internet Protocol) address of the device which must be a

unique identifier in the

network.

Managed head: displays the managed head type.

Head Serial Number: This is the head serial number and during the Activation

process we will ask for this number.

Status info screen

Clicking on the Device Setup you will enter the main status information screen,

which will give you good summarized information of the device, such as status

information of the transmitters, detector level, or temperature values.

Laser ON: Transmitter transmitts

Laser OK: Transmitter works properly, transmitts and the transmitted signal is valid.

Temperature: ambient temperature inside the device. These units were designed for

extreme conditions and should not have any problems under -20C to 70C. In fact the

unit is emitting some heat so the temperature displayed is not the air temperature

outside the head. For example the temperature can be -10C outside but in the

device it wont go below -1 or -2. The value will display error depeding on the setting

was done device setup. There is no default value for this setting, only a suggested

value, which is 60C.

Detector level: shows the local heads received level. In volts, the maximum is 7 volts

and the minimum is 0.2 volts. The value will display error depeding on the setting

was done device setup.

Remote Detector level: this value is dispalyed form reception of the remote head.

The maximum is 7 volts and the minimum is 0.2 volts.

TP_Link: displays that there is connection over the TP cable.

FSO Link: displays that there is valid signal received from the remote end.

Remote is visible: this status information is a good information about the connection

over the two laserheads if this status is OK that means that there is data transferred

over the link.

Remote TP Link: shows that whether the remote end is connected into the switch

and the TP interface is available.

PSU: The PSU of the device is sending the OK signal.

you have forget the usernam and/or the password please contact The technical

support.

MGM Trusted-host filtering: Here you can adjust two addresses wehre you can till in

from which computer with you reach the MGM! To adjust you will hove to adjust a

filter.

Filter adjust:

Off: Turned off.

IP: Only see the IP address.

MAC: Only see the MAC address

IP+MAC: Either IP or MAC address should be equal to the adjusted.

IP&MAC: Both IP and MAC addresses should be equal to the adjusted.

Network statistics page

As a new feature of the Next series of products, you can monitor the live traffic flows

over the link. These figures are showing the reception on a port of FO(fibre optic

from the remote end) or TP(Twisted pair, form the local connected equipment).

Unicast: sending of information packets to a single destination

Multicast: is the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously

using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the

network only once and only create copies when the links to the destinations split.

The word "Multicast" is typically used to refer to IP Multicast, the implementation of

the multicast concept on the IP routing level, where routers create optimal spanning

tree distribution paths for datagram sent to a multicast destination address in real-

time. But there are also other implementations of the multicast distribution strategy

listed below.

Broadcast: refers to transmitting a packet that will be received (conceptionally) by

every device on the network. In practice, the scope of the broadcast is limited to a

broadcast domain. Not all computer networks support broadcasting; for example,

neither X.25 nor frame relay supply a broadcast capability, nor is there any form of

Internet-wide broadcast. Broadcasting is largely confined to local area network

(LAN) technologies, most notably Ethernet and Token Ring, where the performance

impact of broadcasting is not as large as it would be in a wide area network. Both

Ethernet and IPv4 use an all-ones broadcast address to indicate a broadcast packet.

Fragments: datagram can be fragmented into pieces small enough to pass over a

link with a smaller MTU than the original datagram size.

Jabber: transmission of a packet on a computer network that is larger than the

network's MTU. Such transmissions hog bandwidth and congest the network. Many

network switches have a built-in capability to detect when a device is jabbering and

block it until it resumes proper operation.

Alignment error:Decoded package alignment is faulty.

Symbol error: Coding symbol is missing or faulty.

CRC error: cyclic redundancy check is a type of hash function used to produce a

checksum – a small, fixed number of bits – against a block of data, such as a packet

of network traffic or a block of a computer file. The checksum is used to detect errors

after transmission or storage. A CRC is computed and appended before

transmission or storage, and verified afterwards by the recipient to confirm that no

changes occurred on transit. CRCs are popular because they are simple to

implement in binary hardware, are easy to analyze mathematically, and are

particularly good at detecting common errors caused by noise in transmission

channel.

Auto-focus setup (AF)

Automatic divergence corrections:

• Enabled (auto): adjust beam size to the best level according to the remote
level.

• Disabled (manual): It disables the automatic adjustment routine, and lets the
user adjust the beam size by using the „STEP” buttons.

Last activity: which the AF (auto focus) has done.

• idle: AF was not active..

• setting default: saves the standard settings.

• moving default: return to default settings.

• moving to open: opens to widest beam.

• increasing remote load: the AF adjusts the laser beam to increase remote

level.

• decreasing remote load: the AF adjusts the laser beam to decrease remote
level.

• optimizing remote load: the AF adjusts the laser beam to optimal remote
level.

Remote is visible: The remote side is visible or not.
Remote lost time: Shows time when remote level got lost.
Remote detector level: Shows receiving level in Volt and number of units on LCD.
Manual focus control: After setting the Manual Focus controls you can adjust the

manual focus by clicking on the „STEP” buttons. You can increase the beam size, by
clicking on the plus numbers or you can decrease it by clicking on the minus. The
amount of the increase or the decrease depends on the number of steps .

7.4.6 SNMP Technology

SNMP is part of the Internet network management architecture. This architecture is

based on the interaction of many entities, as described in the following section.

The Internet Management Model

As specified in Internet RFCs and other documents, a network management system

comprises:

Network elements -- Sometimes called managed devices, network elements are

hardware devices such as computers, routers, and terminal servers that are

connected to networks.

Agents -- Agents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect

and store management information such as the number of error packets received by

a network element.

Managed object -- A managed object is a characteristic of something that can be

managed. For example, a list of currently active TCP circuits in a particular host

computer is a managed object. Managed objects differ from variables, which are

particular object instances. Using our example, an object instance is a single active

TCP circuit in a particular host computer. Managed objects can be scalar (defining a

single object instance) or tabular (defining multiple, related instances).

Management information base (MIB) -- A MIB is a collection of managed objects

residing in a virtual information store. Collections of related managed objects are

defined in specific MIB modules.

Syntax notation -- A syntax notation is a language used to describe a MIB's

managed objects in a machine-independent format. Consistent use of a syntax

notation allows different types of computers to share information. Internet

management systems use a subset of the International Organization for

Standardization's (ISO's) Open System Interconnection (OSI) Abstract Syntax

Notation 1 (ASN.1) to define both the packets exchanged by the management

protocol and the objects that are to be managed.

Structure of Management Information (SMI) -- The SMI defines the rules for

describing management information. The SMI is defined using ASN.1.

Network management stations (NMSs) -- Sometimes called consoles, these devices

execute management applications that monitor and control network elements.

Physically, NMSs are usually engineering workstation-caliber computers with fast

CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At

least one NMS must be present in each managed environment.

Parties -- Newly defined in SNMPv2, a party is a logical SNMPv2 entity that can

initiate or receive SNMPv2 communication. Each SNMPv2 party comprises a single,

unique party identity, a logical network location, a single authentication protocol, and

GeoDesy Kft. 44 E-mail: [e-mail]
http://www.geodesy-fso.com
H-1116 Budapest, Kondorfa str. 6-8. Telefon: [phone]

Fax.: [phone]

a single privacy protocol. SNMPv2 messages are communicated between two

parties. An SNMPv2 entity can define multiple parties, each with different

parameters. For example, different parties can use different authentication and/or

privacy protocols.

Management protocol -- A management protocol is used to convey management

information between agents and NMSs. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto

standard management protocol.

The most basic elements of the Internet management model are graphically

represented in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The Internet Management Model

Interactions between the NMS and managed devices can be any of four different

types of commands:

Reads -- To monitor managed devices, NMSs read variables maintained by the

devices

Writes -- To control managed devices, NMSs write variables stored within the

managed devices

Traversal operations -- NMSs use these operations to determine which variables a

managed device supports and to sequentially gather information from variable tables

(such as IP routing tables) in managed devices

Traps -- Managed devices use traps to asynchronously report certain events to

NMSs

MIBs and Object Identifiers

A MIB can be depicted as an abstract tree with an unnamed root. Individual data

items make up the leaves of the tree. Object identifiers (IDs) uniquely identify or

name MIB objects in the tree. Object IDs are like telephone numbers -- they are

organized hierarchically with specific digits assigned by different organizations.

The object ID structure of an SNMP MIB defines three main branches: Consultative

Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT), International

Organization for Standardization (ISO), and joint ISO/CCITT. Much of the current

MIB activity occurs in the portion of the ISO branch defined by object identifier

1.3.6.1 and dedicated to the Internet community.

The current Internet-standard MIB, MIB-II, is defined in RFC 1213 and contains 171

objects. These objects are grouped by protocol (including TCP, IP, User Datagram

Protocol [UDP], SNMP, and others) and other categories, including "system" and

"interfaces."

SMI Definitions

The SMI specifies that all managed objects should have a name, a syntax, and an

encoding. The name is the object ID, which was discussed in the preceding section.

The syntax defines the object's data type (for example, "integer" or "string"). A

subset of ASN.1 definitions are used for the SMI syntax. The encoding describes

how the information associated with the managed object is formatted as a series of

data items for transmission on the network. Another ISO specification, called the

Basic Encoding Rules (BERs), details SMI encodings.

SMI data types are divided into three categories: simple types, application-wide

types, and simply constructed types.

Simple types include four primitive ASN.1 types:

Integers -- Unique values that are positive or negative whole numbers, including

zero.

Octet strings -- Unique values that are an ordered sequence of zero or more octets.

Object IDs -- Unique values from the set of all object identifiers allocated according

to the rules specified in ASN.1.

Bit strings -- New in SNMPv2, these comprise zero or more named bits that specify

a value.

Application-wide data types refer to special data types defined by the SMI:

Network addresses -- Represent an address from a particular protocol family.

Counters -- Non-negative integers that increment by positive one until they reach a

maximum value, when they are reset to zero. The total number of bytes received on

GeoDesy Kft. 46 E-mail: [e-mail]
http://www.geodesy-fso.com
H-1116 Budapest, Kondorfa str. 6-8. Telefon: [phone]

Fax.: [phone]

an interface is an example of a counter. In SNMPv1, counter size was not specified.

In SNMPv2, 32-bit and 64-bit counters are defined.

Gauges -- Non-negative integers that can increase or decrease, but latch at a

maximum value. The length of an output packet queue (in packets) is an example of

a gauge.

Time ticks -- Hundredths of a second since an event. The time since an interface

entered its current state is an example of a tick.

Opaque -- Represents an arbitrary encoding. This data type is used to pass arbitrary

information strings that do not conform to the strict data typing used by the SMI.

Integer -- Represents signed, integer-valued information. This data type redefines

the ASN.1 "integer" simple data type, which has arbitrary precision in ASN.1 but

bounded precision in the SMI.

Unsigned integer -- Represents unsigned integer-valued information. It is useful

when values are always non-negative. This data type redefines the ASN.1 "integer"

simple data type, which has arbitrary precision in ASN.1 but bounded precision in

the SMI.

Simply constructed types include two ASN.1 types that define multiple objects in

tables and lists:

Row -- References a row in a table. Each element of the row can be a simple type or

an application-wide type.

Table -- References a table of zero or more rows. Each row has the same number of

columns.

ISO document 8825 (Specification of Basic Encoding Rules for ASN.1) defines ISO's

BERs. The BERs allow dissimilar machines to exchange management information

by specifying both the position of each bit within the transmitted octets and the

structure of the bits. Bit structure is conveyed by describing the data type, length,

and value.

The SMI for SNMPv2 includes two documents: RFCs 1443 and 1444. RFC 1443

(Textual Conventions) defines the data types used within the MIB modules, while

RFC 1444 (Conformance Statements) provides an implementation baseline. The

SNMPv2 SMI also defines two new branches of the Internet MIB tree: security

(1.3.6.1.5) and SNMPv2 (1.3.6.1.6).

SNMP Operations

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMSs can send multiple

requests without receiving a response. Six SNMP operations are defined:

Get -- Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.

GetNext -- Allows the NMS to retrieve the next object instance from a table or list

within an agent. In SNMPv1, when an NMS wants to retrieve all elements of a table

Fax.: [phone]

from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext

operations.

GetBulk -- New for SNMPv2. The GetBulk operation was added to make it easier to

acquire large amounts of related information without initiating repeated get-next

operations. GetBulk was designed to virtually eliminate the need for GetNext

operations.

Set -- Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.

Trap -- Used by the agent to asynchronously Inform the NMS of some event. The

SNMPv2 trap message is designed to replace the SNMPv1 trap message.

Inform -- New for SNMPv2. The Inform operation was added to allow one NMS to

send trap information to another.

SNMPv1 messages (packets) contain two parts1. The first part contains a version

and a community name. The second part contains the actual SNMP protocol data

unit (PDU) specifying the operation to be performed ("Get," "Set," and so on) and the

object instances involved in the operation. Figure 3 illustrates the SNMPv1 message

format.

Figure 3: SNMP v1 Message Format

* Trap messages have a slightly different format; for information on this format,

consult the appropriate SNMP specification.

The version field is used to ensure that all network elements are running software

based on the same SNMP version. The community name assigns an access

environment for a set of NMSs using that community name. NMSs within the

community can be said to exist within the same administrative domain. Because

devices that do not know the proper community name are precluded from SNMP

operations, network management personnel also have used the community name as

a weak form of authentication.

The SNMP PDU has the following fields:

PDU type -- Specifies the type of PDU being transmitted.

Request-ID -- Associates requests with responses.

Error-status -- Indicates an error and an error type. In SNMPv2 GetBulk operations,

this field becomes a NonRepeaters field. For these operations, this field defines the

number of request-ed variables listed that should be retrieved no more than once

from the beginning of the request. The field is used when some of the variables are

scalar objects with only one variable.

Error-index -- Associates the error with a particular object instance. In SNMPv2

GetBulk operations, this field becomes a Max Repetitions field. For these operations,

this field defines the maximum number of times that other variables beyond those

specified by the NonRepeaters field should be retrieved.

Variable-bindings -- Comprises the data of an SNMP PDU. Variable bindings

associate particular object instances with their current values.

Like SNMPv1 messages, SNMPv2 messages (shown in Figure 4) contain two parts.

The second part of the SNMPv2 message (the PDU) is virtually identical to that of an

SNMPv1 message (see the previous description of an SNMP PDU for differences).

The first part of the SNMPv2 message contains the majority of the differences

between SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.

Figure 4: SNMP v2 Message Format

The first part of a SNMPv2 message is often called a wrapper. The wrapper includes

authentication and privacy information in the form of destination and source parties.

As mentioned earlier, a party includes the specification of both an authentication and

a privacy protocol. In addition to a destination and a source party, the wrapper

includes a context. A context specifies the managed objects visible to an operation.

The authentication protocol is designed to reliably identify the integrity of the

originating SNMPv2 party. It consists of authentication information required to

support the authentication protocol used. The privacy protocol is designed to protect

information within the SNMPv2 message from disclosure. Only authenticated

messages can be protected from disclosure. In other words, authentication is

required for privacy.

The SNMPv2 specifications discuss two primary security protocols: one for

authentication and one for privacy. These are the Digest Authentication Protocol and

the Symmetric Privacy Protocol.

The Digest Authentication Protocol verifies that the message received is the same

one that was sent. Data integrity is protected using a 128-bit message digest

calculated according to the Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm. The digest is

calculated at the sender and enclosed with the SNMPv2 message. The receiver

verifies the digest. A secret value, known only to the sender and the receiver, is

prefixed to the message. After the digest is used to verify message integrity, the

secret value is used to verify the message's origin.

To help ensure message privacy, the Symmetric Privacy Protocol uses a secret

encryption key known only to the sender and the receiver. Before the message is

authenticated, this protocol uses the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm to

effect privacy. DES is a documented National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard.

Originally, SNMPv1 specified that SNMP should operate over the User Datagram

Protocol (UDP) and IP. The SNMPv2 transport mapping document (RFC 1449)

defines implementations of SNMP over other transport protocols, including OSI

Connectionless Network Service (CLNS), AppleTalk's Datagram Delivery Protocol

(DDP), and Novell's Internet Packet Exchange (IPX). RFC 1449 also includes

instructions on how to provide a SNMPv1 proxy and use of the BER. UDP/IP is still

SNMPv2's preferred transport mapping because UDP is compatible with SNMPv1 at

both the transport and network layers.
