The SNMP Management Framework   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer tosection 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].   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inRFC2119 [RFC2119].2.  Overview   There is a need for a standardized way of representing a single   agent, which supports multiple instances of one MIB module.  This is   presently true for at least 3 standard MIB modules and is likely to   become true for more and more MIB modules as time passes.  For   example:   - multiple instances of a bridge supported within a single device     that has a single agent;   - multiple repeaters supported by a single agent; and   - multiple OSPF backbone areas, each operating as part of its own     Autonomous System and each identified by the same area-id (e.g.,     0.0.0.0), supported inside a single router with one agent.   The single agent present in each of these cases implies a   relationship binds these entities.  Effectively, there is some   "overall" physical entity that houses the sum of the things managed   by that one agent, i.e., there are multiple "logical" entities within   a single physical entity.  Sometimes, the overall physical entityBierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   contains multiple (smaller) physical entities, and each logical   entity is associated with a particular physical entity.  Sometimes,   the overall physical entity is a "compound" of multiple physical   entities (e.g., a stack of stackable hubs).   What is needed is a way to determine exactly which logical entities   are managed by the agent (with some version of SNMP) in order to   communicate with the agent about a particular logical entity.  When   different logical entities are associated with different physical   entities within the overall physical entity, it is also useful to be   able to use this information to distinguish between logical entities.   In these situations, there is no need for varbinds for multiple   logical entities to be referenced in the same SNMP message (although   that might be useful in the future).  Rather, it is sufficient, and   in some situations preferable, to have the context/community in the   message identify the logical entity to which the varbinds apply.   Version 2 of this MIB addresses new requirements that have emerged   since the publication of the first Entity MIB [RFC2037].  There is a   need for a standardized way of providing non-volatile,   administratively assigned identifiers for physical components   represented with the Entity MIB.  There is also a need to align the   Entity MIB with the SNMPv3 administrative framework (STD 62,   [RFC3411]).  Implementation experience has shown that additional   physical component attributes are also desirable.   Version 3 of this MIB addresses new requirements that have emerged   since the publication of the second Entity MIB [RFC2737].  There is a   need to identify physical entities that are central processing units   (CPUs) and a need to provide a Textual Convention (TC) that   identifies an entPhysicalIndex value or zero, where the value zero   has application-specific semantics.  Two new objects have been added   to the entPhysicalTable to identify the manufacturing date and   provide additional URIs for a particular physical entity.   Version 4 of this MIB addresses new requirements that have emerged   since the publication of the third version of the Entity MIB   [RFC4133].  There is a need to add new enumerated values for entity   physical classes, a need to provide identification information for   physical entities using a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)   format, and a need to have compliant implementations of the Entity   MIB with a smaller subsets of MIB objects for devices with   constrained resources.   The PhysicalClass TEXTUAL-CONVENTION was deprecated, and a new   IANAPhysicalClass TC (maintained by IANA) was created.  A new TC,   UUIDorZero, was created to represent a UUID, and a new MIB object wasBierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   added to the entPhysicalTable to identify an entity.  A new   compliance statement, entity4CRCompliance, has been added for   possible implementation of a selected subset of MIB objects by   entities with constrained resources.2.1.  Terms   The following terms are used throughout this document:   - Naming Scope     A "naming scope" represents the set of information that may be     potentially accessed through a single SNMP operation.  All     instances within the naming scope share the same unique identifier     space.  For SNMPv1, a naming scope is identified by the value of     the associated entLogicalCommunity instance.  For SNMPv3, the term     "context" is used instead of "naming scope".  The complete     definition of an SNMP context can be found in Section 3.3.1 ofRFC3411 [RFC3411].   - Multi-Scoped Object     A MIB object for which identical instance values identify different     managed information in different naming scopes is called a "multi-     scoped" MIB object.   - Single-Scoped Object     A MIB object for which identical instance values identify the same     managed information in different naming scopes is called a "single-     scoped" MIB object.   - Logical Entity     A managed system contains one or more "logical entities", each     represented by at most one instantiation of each of a particular     set of MIB objects.  A set of management functions is associated     with each logical entity.  Examples of logical entities include     routers, bridges, print-servers, etc.   - Physical Entity     A "physical entity" or "physical component" represents an     identifiable physical resource within a managed system.  Zero or     more logical entities may utilize a physical resource at any given     time.  Determining which physical components are represented by an     agent in the EntPhysicalTable is an implementation-specific matter.     Typically, physical resources (e.g., communications ports,     backplanes, sensors, daughter-cards, power supplies, and the     overall chassis), which can be managed via functions associated     with one or more logical entities, are included in the MIB.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   - Containment Tree     Each physical component may be modeled as 'contained' within     another physical component.  A "containment-tree" is the conceptual     sequence of entPhysicalIndex values that uniquely specifies the     exact physical location of a physical component within the managed     system.  It is generated by 'following and recording' each     entPhysicalContainedIn instance 'up the tree towards the root'     until a value of zero, indicating no further containment, is found.2.2.  Relationship to Community Strings   For community-based SNMP, differentiating logical entities is one   (but not the only) purpose of the community string [RFC1157].  This   is accommodated by representing each community string as a logical   entity.   Note that different logical entities may share the same naming scope   and, therefore, the same values of entLogicalCommunity.  This is   possible, providing they have no need for the same instance of a MIB   object to represent different managed information.2.3.  Relationship to SNMP Contexts   Version 2 of the Entity MIB contains support for associating SNMPv3   contexts with logical entities.  Two new MIB objects, defining an   SnmpEngineID and ContextName pair, are used together to identify an   SNMP context associated with a logical entity.  This context can be   used (in conjunction with the entLogicalTAddress and   entLogicalTDomain MIB objects) to send SNMPv3 messages on behalf of a   particular logical entity.2.4.  Relationship to Proxy Mechanisms   The Entity MIB is designed to allow functional component discovery.   The administrative relationships between different logical entities   are not visible in any Entity MIB tables.  A Network Management   System (NMS) cannot determine whether MIB instances in different   naming scopes are realized locally or remotely (e.g., via some proxy   mechanism) by examining any particular Entity MIB objects.   The management of administrative framework functions is not an   explicit goal of the Entity MIB WG at this time.  This new area of   functionality may be revisited after some operational experience with   the Entity MIB is gained.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   Note that for community-based versions of SNMP, a network   administrator will likely be able to associate community strings with   naming scopes that have proprietary mechanisms, as a matter of   configuration.  There are no mechanisms for managing naming scopes   defined in this MIB.2.5.  Relationship to a Chassis MIB   Some readers may recall that a previous IETF working group attempted   to define a Chassis MIB.  No consensus was reached by that working   group, possibly because its scope was too broad.  As such, it is not   the purpose of the ENTITY-MIB module to be a "Chassis MIB   replacement", nor is it within the scope of the ENTITY-MIB module to   contain all the information that might be necessary to manage a   "chassis".  On the other hand, the entities represented by an   implementation of the ENTITY-MIB module might well be contained in a   chassis.2.6.  Relationship to the Interfaces MIB   The Entity MIB contains a mapping table identifying physical   components that have 'external values' (e.g., ifIndex) associated   with them within a given naming scope.  This table can be used to   identify the physical location of each interface in the ifTable   [RFC2863].  Because ifIndex values in different contexts are not   related to one another, the interface-to-physical-component   associations are relative to the same logical entity within the   agent.   The Entity MIB also contains entPhysicalName and entPhysicalAlias   objects, which approximate the semantics of the ifName and ifAlias   objects (respectively) from the Interfaces MIB [RFC2863] for all   types of physical components.2.7.  Relationship to the Other MIB Modules   The Entity MIB contains a mapping table identifying physical   components that have identifiers from other standard MIB modules   associated with them.  For example, this table can be used along with   the physical mapping table to identify the physical location of each   repeater port in the rptrPortTable or each interface in the ifTable.2.8.  Relationship to Naming Scopes   There is some question as to which MIB objects may be returned within   a given naming scope.  MIB objects that are not multi-scoped within a   managed system are likely to ignore context information inBierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   implementation.  In such a case, it is likely such objects will be   returned in all naming scopes (e.g., not just the 'default' naming   scope or the SNMPv3 default context).   For example, a community string used to access the management   information for logical device 'bridge2' may allow access to all the   non-bridge-related objects in the 'default' naming scope, as well as   a second instance of the Bridge MIB [RFC4188].   The isolation of single-scoped MIB objects by the agent is an   implementation-specific matter.  An agent may wish to limit the   objects returned in a particular naming scope to only the multi-   scoped objects in that naming scope (e.g., system group and the   Bridge MIB).  In this case, all single-scoped management information   would belong to a common naming scope (e.g., 'default'), which itself   may contain some multi-scoped objects (e.g., system group).2.9.  Multiple Instances of the Entity MIB   It is possible that more than one agent may exist in a managed   system.  In such cases, multiple instances of the Entity MIB   (representing the same managed objects) may be available to an NMS.   In order to reduce complexity for agent implementation, multiple   instances of the Entity MIB are not required to be equivalent or even   consistent.  An NMS may be able to 'align' instances returned by   different agents by examining the columns of each table, but vendor-   specific identifiers and (especially) index values are likely to be   different.  Each agent may be managing different subsets of the   entire chassis as well.   When all of a physically modular device is represented by a single   agent, the entry (for which entPhysicalContainedIn has the value   zero) would likely have 'chassis' as the value of its   entPhysicalClass.  Alternatively, for an agent on a module where the   agent represents only the physical entities on that module (not those   on other modules), the entry (for which entPhysicalContainedIn has   the value zero) would likely have 'module' as the value of its   entPhysicalClass.   An agent implementation of the entLogicalTable is not required to   contain information about logical entities managed primarily by other   agents.  That is, the entLogicalTAddress and entLogicalTDomain   objects in the entLogicalTable are provided to support a historical   multiplexing mechanism, not to identify other SNMP agents.   Note that the Entity MIB is a single-scoped MIB, in the event an   agent represents the MIB in different naming scopes.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 20132.10.  Re-Configuration of Entities   Most of the MIB objects defined in this MIB have, at most, a read-   only MAX-ACCESS clause.  This is a conscious decision by the working   group to limit this MIB's scope.  The second version of the Entity   MIB allows a network administrator to configure some common   attributes of physical components.2.11.  Textual Convention Change   Version 1 of the Entity MIB contains three MIB objects defined with   the (now obsolete) DisplayString TEXTUAL-CONVENTION.  In version 2 of   the Entity MIB, the syntax for these objects has been updated to use   the (now preferred) SnmpAdminString TEXTUAL-CONVENTION.   The ENTMIB working group (which was in charge of the document at that   point) realized that this change is not strictly supported by SMIv2.   In their judgment, the alternative of deprecating the old objects and   defining new objects would have had a more adverse impact on backward   compatibility and interoperability, given the particular semantics of   these objects.2.12.  MIB Structure   The Entity MIB contains five groups of MIB objects:   - entityPhysical group     Describes the physical entities managed by a single agent.   - entityLogical group     Describes the logical entities managed by a single agent.   - entityMapping group     Describes the associations between the physical entities, logical     entities, interfaces, and non-interface ports managed by a single     agent.   - entityGeneral group     Describes general system attributes shared by potentially all types     of entities managed by a single agent.   - entityNotifications group     Contains status indication notifications.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 20132.12.1.  entityPhysical Group   This group contains a single table to identify physical system   components, called the entPhysicalTable.   The entPhysicalTable contains one row per physical entity and must   always contain at least one row for an "overall" physical entity,   which should have an entPhysicalClass value of 'stack(11)',   'chassis(3)', or 'module(9)'.   Each row is indexed by an arbitrary, small integer and contains a   description and type of the physical entity.  It also optionally   contains the index number of another entPhysicalEntry, indicating a   containment relationship between the two.   Version 2 of the Entity MIB provides additional MIB objects for each   physical entity.  Some common read-only attributes have been added,   as well as three writable string objects.   - entPhysicalAlias     This string can be used by an NMS as a non-volatile identifier for     the physical component.  Maintaining a non-volatile string for     every physical component represented in the entPhysicalTable can be     costly and unnecessary.  An agent may algorithmically generate     entPhysicalAlias strings for particular entries (e.g., based on the     entPhysicalClass value).   - entPhysicalAssetID     This string is provided to store a user-specific asset identifier     for removable physical components.  In order to reduce the non-     volatile storage needed by a particular agent, a network     administrator should only assign asset identifiers to physical     entities that are field-replaceable (i.e., not permanently     contained within another physical entity).   - entPhysicalSerialNum     This string is provided to store a vendor-specific serial number     string for physical components.  This writable object is used when     an agent cannot identify the serial numbers of all installed     physical entities and a network administrator wishes to configure     the non-volatile serial number strings manually (via an NMS     application).Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   Version 3 of the Entity MIB provides two additional MIB objects for   each physical entity:   - entPhysicalMfgDate     This object contains the date of manufacturing of the managed     entity.  If the manufacturing date is unknown or not supported the     object is not instantiated.  The special value '0000000000000000'H     may also be returned in this case.   - entPhysicalUris     This object provides additional identification information about     the physical entity.     This object contains one or more Uniform Resource Identifiers     (URIs); therefore, the syntax of this object must conform to[RFC3986], Section 3.  Uniform Resource Names (URNs) [RFC3406] are     resource identifiers with the specific requirements for enabling     location-independent identification of a resource, as well as     longevity of reference.  URNs are part of the larger URI family     with the specific goal of providing persistent naming of resources.     URI schemes and URN namespaces are registered by IANA (seehttp://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes andhttp://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-namespaces).     For example, the entPhysicalUris object may be used to encode a URI     containing a Common Language Equipment Identifier (CLEI) URN for     the managed physical entity.  The URN namespace for CLEIs is     defined in [RFC4152], and the CLEI format is defined in [T1.213]     and [T1.213a].  For example, an entPhysicalUris instance may have     the value of:        URN:CLEI:D4CE18B7AA     [RFC3986] and [RFC4152] identify this as a URI in the CLEI URN     namespace.  The specific CLEI code, D4CE18B7AA, is based on the     example provided in [T1.213a].     Multiple URIs may be present and are separated by white space     characters.  Leading and trailing white space characters are     ignored.     If no additional identification information is known about the     physical entity or supported, the object is not instantiated.     Version 4 of the Entity MIB module provides an additional MIB     object for each physical entity.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   - entPhysicalUUID     This object provides an unique identification about the physical     entity.  This object contains a globally unique identifier for the     physical entity with the format defined inRFC 4122 [RFC4122].     To support the existing implementations of ENTITY-MIB version 3     [RFC4133], entPhysicalUris object should be used to store the UUID     value of the physical entity as well in URN format.  This     duplication of information enables backward compatibility.  Note     that entPhysicalUris allows write access while entPhysicalUUID is     read-only.2.12.2.  entityLogical Group   This group contains a single table to identify logical entities,   called the entLogicalTable.   The entLogicalTable contains one row per logical entity.  Each row is   indexed by an arbitrary, small integer and contains a name,   description, and type of the logical entity.  It also contains   information to allow access to the MIB information for the logical   entity.  This includes SNMP versions that use a community name (with   some form of implied context representation) and SNMP versions that   use the SNMP ARCH [RFC3411] method of context identification.   If an agent represents multiple logical entities with this MIB, then   this group must be implemented for all logical entities known to the   agent.   If an agent represents a single logical entity, or multiple logical   entities within a single naming scope, then implementation of this   group may be omitted by the agent.2.12.3.  entityMapping Group   This group contains three tables to identify associations between   different system components.   - entLPMappingTable     This table contains mappings between entLogicalIndex values     (logical entities) and entPhysicalIndex values (the physical     components supporting that entity).  A logical entity can map to     more than one physical component, and more than one logical entity     can map to (share) the same physical component.  If an agent     represents a single logical entity, or multiple logical entities     within a single naming scope, then implementation of this table may     be omitted by the agent.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   - entAliasMappingTable     This table contains mappings between entLogicalIndex,     entPhysicalIndex pairs, and 'alias' object identifier values.  This     allows resources managed with other MIB modules (e.g., repeater     ports, bridge ports, physical and logical interfaces) to be     identified in the physical entity hierarchy.  Note that each alias     identifier is only relevant in a particular naming scope.  If an     agent represents a single logical entity, or multiple logical     entities within a single naming scope, then implementation of this     table may be omitted by the agent.   - entPhysicalContainsTable     This table contains simple mappings between entPhysicalContainedIn     values for each container/'containee' relationship in the managed     system.  The indexing of this table allows an NMS to quickly     discover the entPhysicalIndex values for all children of a given     physical entity.2.12.4.  entityGeneral Group   This group contains general information relating to the other object   groups.   At this time, the entGeneral group contains a single scalar object   (entLastChangeTime), which represents the value of sysUpTime when any   part of the Entity MIB configuration last changed.2.12.5.  entityNotifications Group   This group contains notification definitions relating to the overall   status of the Entity MIB instantiation.2.13.  Multiple Agents   Even though a primary motivation for this MIB is to represent the   multiple logical entities supported by a single agent, another   motivation is to represent multiple logical entities supported by   multiple agents (in the same "overall" physical entity).  Indeed, it   is implicit in the SNMP architecture that the number of agents is   transparent to a network management station.   However, there is no agreement at this time as to the degree of   cooperation that should be expected for agent implementations.   Therefore, multiple agents within the same managed system are free to   implement the Entity MIB independently.  (For more information, refer   toSection 2.9, "Multiple Instances of the Entity MIB".)Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 20132.14.  Changes SinceRFC 20372.14.1.  Textual Conventions   The PhysicalClass TC text has been clarified, and a new enumeration   to support 'stackable' components has been added.  The   SnmpEngineIdOrNone TC has been added to support SNMPv3.2.14.2.  New entPhysicalTable Objects   The entPhysicalHardwareRev, entPhysicalFirmwareRev, and   entPhysicalSoftwareRev objects have been added for revision   identification.   The entPhysicalSerialNum, entPhysicalMfgName, entPhysicalModelName,   and entPhysicalIsFRU objects have been added for better vendor   identification for physical components.  In the event the agent   cannot identify this information, the entPhysicalSerialNum object can   be set by a management station.   The entPhysicalAlias and entPhysicalAssetID objects have been added   for better user component identification.  These objects are intended   to be set by a management station and preserved by the agent across   restarts.2.14.3.  New entLogicalTable Objects   The entLogicalContextEngineID and entLogicalContextName objects have   been added to provide an SNMP context for SNMPv3 access on behalf of   a logical entity.2.14.4.  Bug Fixes   A bug was fixed in the entLogicalCommunity object.  The subrange was   incorrect (1..255) and is now correct (0..255).  The description   clause has also been clarified.  This object is now deprecated.   The entLastChangeTime object description has been changed to   generalize the events that cause an update to the last change   timestamp.   The syntax was changed from DisplayString to SnmpAdminString for the   entPhysicalDescr, entPhysicalName, and entLogicalDescr objects.Bierman, et al.

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 20132.15.  Changes SinceRFC 27372.15.1.  Textual Conventions   The PhysicalIndexOrZero TC has been added to allow objects to   reference an entPhysicalIndex value or zero.  The PhysicalClass TC   has been extended to support a new enumeration for central processing   units.2.15.2.  New Objects   The entPhysicalMfgDate object has been added to the entPhysicalTable   to provide the date of manufacturing of the managed entity.   The entPhysicalUris object has been added to the entPhysicalTable to   provide additional identification information about the physical   entity, such as a Common Language Equipment Identifier (CLEI) URN.2.15.3.  Bug Fixes   The syntax was changed from INTEGER to Integer32 for the   entPhysicalParentRelPos, entLogicalIndex, and   entAliasLogicalIndexOrZero objects, and from INTEGER to   PhysicalIndexOrZero for the entPhysicalContainedIn object.2.16.  Changes SinceRFC 41332.16.1.  MIB Module Addition   Over time, there may be the need to add new enumerated values to the   PhysicalClass TEXTUAL-CONVENTION.  To allow for such additions   without requiring re-issuing of this MIB module, a new MIB module   called IANA-ENTITY-MIB that provides the IANA-maintained TEXTUAL-   CONVENTION IANAPhysicalClass has been created.  The PhysicalClass TC   has been deprecated.2.16.2.  Modification to Some of the MIB Objects   A new MIB object has been added to the entPhysicalTable,   entPhysicalUUID.  In comparison to entPhysicalUris, the new object is   read-only and restricted to a fixed size to allow only forRFC 4122   [RFC4122] compliant values.  The PhysicalClass TEXTUAL-CONVENTION was   deprecated, and a new IANAPhysicalClass TC (maintained by IANA) has   been created.Bierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   Two new MODULE-COMPLIANCE modules have been created:   entity4Compliance for full compliance with version 4 of the Entity   MIB, and entity4CRCompliance for devices with constrained resources   like batteries that might require a limited number of objects to be   supported (entPhysicalClass, entPhysicalName, and entPhysicalUUID).2.16.3.  New TC for Universally Unique Identifier   A new TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, UUIDorZero, was created to represent a   Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) with a syntax that conforms to[RFC4122], Section 4.1.  Defining it as a TC will allow for future   reuse in other MIB modules that will import the TC.  This Textual   Convention is included in the UUID-TC-MIB module.3.  MIB Definitions3.1.

An enumerated value that provides an indication of the            general hardware type of a particular physical entity.            There are no restrictions as to the number of            entPhysicalEntries of each entPhysicalClass, which must be            instantiated by an agent.            The enumeration 'other' is applicable if the physical entity            class is known but does not match any of the supported            values.            The enumeration 'unknown' is applicable if the physical            entity class is unknown to the agent.            The enumeration 'chassis' is applicable if the physical            entity class is an overall container for networking            equipment.  Any class of physical entity, except a stack,            may be contained within a chassis; a chassis may only            be contained within a stack.            The enumeration 'backplane' is applicable if the physical            entity class is some sort of device for aggregating and            forwarding networking traffic, such as a shared backplane in            a modular ethernet switch.

The enumeration 'powerSupply' is applicable if the physical            entity class is a power-supplying component.            The enumeration 'fan' is applicable if the physical entity            class is a fan or other heat-reduction component.

The enumeration 'module' is applicable if the physical            entity class is some sort of self-contained sub-system.  If            the enumeration 'module' is removable, then it should be            modeled within a container entity; otherwise, it should be            modeled directly within another physical entity (e.g., a            chassis or another module).            The enumeration 'port' is applicable if the physical entity            class is some sort of networking port capable of receiving            and/or transmitting networking traffic.            The enumeration 'stack' is applicable if the physical entity            class is some sort of super-container (possibly virtual)            intended to group together multiple chassis entities.  A            stack may be realized by a 'virtual' cable, a real            interconnect cable, attached to multiple chassis, or may in            fact be comprised of multiple interconnect cables.  A stack            should not be modeled within any other physical entities,            but a stack may be contained within another stack.  Only            chassis entities should be contained within a stack.

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013            An NMS can use this object to identify the relative ordering            for all sibling components of a particular parent            (identified by the entPhysicalContainedIn instance in each            sibling entry).            If possible, this value should match any external labeling            of the physical component.  For example, for a container            (e.g., card slot) labeled as 'slot #3',            entPhysicalParentRelPos should have the value '3'.  Note            that the entPhysicalEntry for the module plugged in slot 3            should have an entPhysicalParentRelPos value of '1'.            If the physical position of this component does not match            any external numbering or clearly visible ordering, then            user documentation or other external reference material            should be used to determine the parent-relative position.            If this is not possible, then the agent should assign a            consistent (but possibly arbitrary) ordering to a given set            of 'sibling' components, perhaps based on internal            representation of the components.            If the agent cannot determine the parent-relative position            for some reason, or if the associated value of            entPhysicalContainedIn is '0', then the value '-1' is            returned.  Otherwise, a non-negative integer is returned,            indicating the parent-relative position of this physical            entity.            Parent-relative ordering normally starts from '1' and            continues to 'N', where 'N' represents the highest            positioned child entity.  However, if the physical entities            (e.g., slots) are labeled from a starting position of zero,            then the first sibling should be associated with an            entPhysicalParentRelPos value of '0'.  Note that this            ordering may be sparse or dense, depending on agent            implementation.            The actual values returned are not globally meaningful, as            each 'parent' component may use different numbering            algorithms.  The ordering is only meaningful among siblings            of the same parent component.            The agent should retain parent-relative position values            across reboots, either through algorithmic assignment or use            of non-volatile storage."    ::= { entPhysicalEntry 6 }entPhysicalName OBJECT-TYPEBierman, et al.

An agent should limit the number and nature of entries in            this table such that only meaningful and non-redundant            information is returned.  For example, in a system that            contains a single power supply, mappings between logical            entities and the power supply are not useful and should not            be included.            Also, only the most appropriate physical component, which is            closest to the root of a particular containment tree, should            be identified in an entLPMapping entry.            For example, suppose a bridge is realized on a particular            module, and all ports on that module are ports on this            bridge.  A mapping between the bridge and the module would            be useful, but additional mappings between the bridge and            each of the ports on that module would be redundant (because            the entPhysicalContainedIn hierarchy can provide the same            information).

Note that an               agent may model a backplane as a single physical entity,               which is actually implemented as multiple discrete               physical components (within a chassis or stack).               The enumeration 'container' is applicable if the               physical entity class is capable of containing one or               more removable physical entities, possibly of different               types.  For example, each (empty or full) slot in a               chassis will be modeled as a container.  Note that all               removable physical entities should be modeled within               a container entity, such as field-replaceable modules,               fans, or power supplies.  Note that all known containers               should be modeled by the agent, including empty               containers.               The enumeration 'powerSupply' is applicable if the               physical entity class is a power-supplying component.               The enumeration 'fan' is applicable if the physical               entity class is a fan or other heat-reduction component.               The enumeration 'sensor' is applicable if the physical               entity class is some sort of sensor, such as a               temperature sensor within a router chassis.               The enumeration 'module' is applicable if the physical               entity class is some sort of self-contained sub-system.               If the enumeration 'module' is removable, then it should               be modeled within a container entity; otherwise, it               should be modeled directly within another physical               entity (e.g., a chassis or another module).               The enumeration 'port' is applicable if the physical               entity class is some sort of networking port, capable               of receiving and/or transmitting networking traffic.               The enumeration 'stack' is applicable if the physical               entity class is some sort of super-container (possibly               virtual) intended to group together multiple chassis               entities.  A stack may be realized by a 'virtual' cable,               a real interconnect cable attached to multiple chassis,               or multiple interconnect cables.  A stack should not beBierman, et al.              Standards Track                   [Page 52]

Only chassis               entities should be contained within a stack.               The enumeration 'cpu' is applicable if the physical               entity class is some sort of central processing unit.               The enumeration 'energyObject' is applicable if the               physical entity is some sort of energy object, i.e.,               a piece of equipment that is part of or attached to               a communications network that is monitored, controlled,               or aids in the management of another device for Energy               Management.

Security Considerations   There are a number of management objects defined in these MIB modules   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.  These are the tables and objects and their   sensitivity/vulnerability:      entPhysicalSerialNum      entPhysicalAlias      entPhysicalAssetID      entPhysicalUris   These objects contain information about the physical entities within   a managed system, which may be used to identify the serial number,   identification of assets and managed components, and handling of the   managed objects.  Their mis-configuration or disclosure may reveal   sensitive information on assets, perturb the management of entities,   or cause privacy issues if they allow tracking of values that are   personally identifying.Bierman, et al.

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   Some of the readable objects in these MIB modules (i.e., objects with   a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive   or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to   control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly   to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over   the network via SNMP.  These are the tables and objects and their   sensitivity/vulnerability:      entPhysicalDescr      entPhysicalVendorType      entPhysicalHardwareRev      entPhysicalFirmwareRev      entPhysicalSoftwareRev      entPhysicalMfgName      entPhysicalModelName      entPhysicalUUID   These objects expose information about the physical entities within a   managed system, which may be used to identify the vendor, model,   version, and specific device-identification information of each   system component.      entLogicalDescr      entLogicalType   These objects expose the type of logical entities present in the   managed system.      entLogicalCommunity   This object exposes community names associated with particular   logical entities within the system.      entLogicalTAddress      entLogicalTDomain   These objects expose network addresses that can be used to   communicate with an SNMP agent on behalf of particular logical   entities within the system.      entLogicalContextEngineID      entLogicalContextName   These objects identify the authoritative SNMP engine that contains   information on behalf of particular logical entities within the   system.Bierman, et al.

RFC 6933                 Entity MIB (Version 4)                 May 2013   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),   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 these   MIB modules.   Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the   SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming   compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for   authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)   [RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826].  Implementations   MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)   [RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH   [RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].   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 these MIB modules 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.6.  IANA Considerations   This document defines the first version of the IANA-maintained   IANA-ENTITY-MIB module, which allows new physical classes to be added   to the enumeration in IANAPhysicalClass.  An Expert Review, as   defined inRFC 5226 [RFC5226], is REQUIRED for each modification.   The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned   OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:              Descriptor        OBJECT IDENTIFIER value              ----------        -----------------------              entityMIB          { mib-2 47 }   IANA has allocated two OBJECT IDENTIFIERS under mib-2 for:              Descriptor        OBJECT IDENTIFIER value              ----------        -----------------------              ianaEntityMIB      { mib-2 216 }              uuidTCMIB          { mib-2 217 }Bierman, et al.
