SNMP Protocol Agent (PA) provides the solution for SNMP Protocol to access CCSP Data Model.

This is the architecture diagram of SNMP Protocol Agent

CCSP SNMP Protocol Agent is implemented as a NET-SNMP MIB handler. During startup, it loads all the XML files defining the following:
...
The callback prototype is:
Code Block |
---|
typedef int (*handleRequestsProc) |
...
( |
...
netsnmp_mib_handler *handler, |
...
netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo, |
...
netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo, |
...
netsnmp_request_info *requests |
...
); |
This callback will be called before SNMP Protocol Agent MIB handler processing the requests. If the callback takes care of certain request and it doesn’t want to be processed anymore, the “requests->processed” should be set to 1. In this case, the MIB handler will ignore this request and move on.
...

<!-‐-‐ The prototype of the “handleRequests”: |
...
typedef int |
...
(*handleRequestsProc) |
...
( |
...
netsnmp_mib_handler *handler, |
...
netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo, |
...
netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo, |
...
netsnmp_request_info *requests |
...
); |
...
This callback will be called before Ccsp generic MIB handler. |
...
Whenever a request was handled in this callback, you may set “request-‐>processed” to 1. |
...

<xs:element name="handleRequests" type="xs:string" minOccurs=”0” /> |

<!-‐-‐ The prototype of the “refreshCache”: |
...
typedef int |

(*refreshCacheProc) |
...
( |
...
netsnmp_tdata* table |
...
); |
...
This callback will be called first in RefreshCache of Ccsp generic MIB handler. |

Mapping is consisted of two parts,

<!-‐-‐ Definition of mibInfo -‐-‐>
Code Block |

<xs:complexType name="mibInfo"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="lastOid" type="xs:positiveInteger" /> |

This node defines how scalar MIB objects are mapped to Data Model objects:

<!-‐-‐ “baseOid” is the base OID string for this group of scalar mibs. All the mibs have to be in the same OID layer. -‐-‐> |

Node of “mibTable” |
Because table objects covers more than parameters, more work and functionalities are included:
