· It is your responsibility to check and make sure that you have uploaded both the correct files.

· Zero mark will be given if you try to bypass the SafeAssign (e.g. misspell words, remove spaces between words, hide characters, use different character sets or languages other than English or any kind of manipulation).

· Email submission will not be accepted.

· You are advised to make your work clear and well-presented. This includes filling your information on the cover page.

· You must use this template, failing which will result in zero mark.

· You MUST show all your work, and text must not be converted into an image, unless specified otherwise by the question.

Project description

5 Marks

Learning Outcome(s):

Describe network management issues, standards and architecture.

1. Objectives

The main objective of this project is to let you know in more detail the design and description process of a Management Information Base (MIB). A simple case will be studied and treated with the formalism dictated by SMI-v2 described by RFC 1213.

2. Introduction

SMI-v2 uses only a very small subset of ASN.1 and has few templates to formally describe an information base.

RFC 1213 gives the formalism to use a description of a MIB that will be handled with the SNMP protocol. This project will therefore ask you to familiarize yourself with this RFC.

3. Presentation of the context and design of the MIB

You should design a private Management Information Base to supervise a host. The goal is to use SNMP to communicate the information to a network management application and to be able to automatically control the state, generate useful reports and possibly detect performance or security issues.

- What information would be required to manage a host?

- Distinguish between the simple variables and their types, and the tables necessary for this information base.

4. Formal description of the MIB

For this part, we will offer you a simplified MIB in the Appendix. According to an informal description, you must format this MIB in accordance with the SMI-v2 standard. Pay particular attention to how a table should be described, and to the DESCRIPTION field of each object.

- Name the module containing the MIB using the following format: studentName-StudentID-MIB,

- Choose the OID (Object Identifier) ​​of each element,

- Define a coherent tree structure,

- Use the ASN.1 syntax for the types of the elements.

-Write the complete MIB in text format using the SMI-v2 standard

5. Appendix

A-The elements to consider for the design of the MIB are:

1- Percentage of free CPU "freeCPULoad"

2- Percentage of unallocated memory "freeMemoryLoad"

3- If the workstation is an "isWebServer" web server

4- The operating system version "version"

5- The old start date of the "lastHostReboot" system

6- The number of current users that are logged into the "usersNumber" workstation

7- A table of these users: "usersTable"

8- The user's login name, "userId"

9- The date of the opening of the session, "userLoginDate"
