sub-identifier in the value is copied); (5) IpAddress-valued: 4 sub-identifiers, in the familiar a.b.c.d notation. (6) NsapAddress-valued: `n' sub-identifiers, where `n' is the length of the value (each octet of the value is encoded in a separate sub-identifier); Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 29] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 Note that the IMPLIED keyword can only be present for objects having a variable-length syntax (e.g., variable-length strings or object identifier-valued objects). Further, the IMPLIED keyword may appear at most once within the INDEX clause, and if so, is associated with the right-most object having a variable-length syntax. Finally, the IMPLIED keyword may not be used on a variable-length string object if that string might have a value of zero-length. Instances identified by use of integer-valued objects should be numbered starting from one (i.e., not from zero). The use of zero as a value for an integer-valued index object should be avoided, except in special cases. Objects which are both specified in the INDEX clause of a conceptual row and also columnar objects of the same conceptual row are termed auxiliary objects. The MAX-ACCESS clause for newly-defined auxiliary objects is "not- accessible". However, a conceptual row must contain at least one columnar object which is not an auxiliary object (i.e., the value of the MAX-ACCESS clause for such an object is either "read-only" or "read-create"). Note that objects specified in a conceptual row's INDEX clause need not be columnar objects of that conceptual row. In this situation, the DESCRIPTION clause of the conceptual row must include a textual explanation of how the objects which are included in the INDEX clause but not columnar objects of that conceptual row, are used in uniquely identifying instances of the conceptual row's columnar objects. 7.7.1. Creation and Deletion of Conceptual Rows For newly-defined conceptual rows which allow the creation of new object instances and the deletion of existing object instances, there should be one columnar object with a SYNTAX clause value of RowStatus (a textual convention defined in [3]) and a MAX-ACCESS clause value of read-create. By convention, this is termed the status column for the conceptual row. Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 30] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 7.8. Mapping of the AUGMENTS clause The AUGMENTS clause, which must not be present unless the object corresponds to a conceptual row, is an alternative to the INDEX clause. Every object corresponding to a conceptual row has either an INDEX clause or an AUGMENTS clause. If an object corresponding to a conceptual row has an INDEX clause, that row is termed a base conceptual row; alternatively, if the object has an AUGMENTS clause, the row is said to be a conceptual row augmentation, where the AUGMENTS clause names the object corresponding to the base conceptual row which is augmented by this conceptual row extension. Instances of subordinate columnar objects of a conceptual row extension are identified according to the INDEX clause of the base conceptual row corresponding to the object named in the AUGMENTS clause. Further, instances of subordinate columnar objects of a conceptual row extension exist according to the same semantics as instances of subordinate columnar objects of the base conceptual row being augmented. As such, note that creation of a base conceptual row implies the correspondent creation of any conceptual row augmentations. For example, a MIB designer might wish to define additional columns in an "enterprise-specific" MIB which logically extend a conceptual row in a "standard" MIB. The "standard" MIB definition of the conceptual row would include the INDEX clause and the "enterprise-specific" MIB would contain the definition of a conceptual row using the AUGMENTS clause. Note that a base conceptual row may be augmented by multiple conceptual row extensions. 7.8.1. Relation between INDEX and AUGMENTS clauses When defining instance identification information for a conceptual table: (1) If there is a one-to-one correspondence between the conceptual rows of this table and an existing table, then the AUGMENTS clause should be used. Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 31] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 (2) Otherwise, if there is a sparse relationship between the conceptuals rows of this table and an existing table, then an INDEX clause should be used which is identical to that in the existing table. (3) Otherwise, auxiliary objects should be defined within the conceptual row for the new table, and those objects should be used within the INDEX clause for the conceptual row. 7.9. Mapping of the DEFVAL clause The DEFVAL clause, which need not be present, defines an acceptable default value which may be used at the discretion of a SNMPv2 entity acting in an agent role when an object instance is created. During conceptual row creation, if an instance of a columnar object is not present as one of the operands in the correspondent management protocol set operation, then the value of the DEFVAL clause, if present, indicates an acceptable default value that a SNMPv2 entity acting in an agent role might use. The value of the DEFVAL clause must, of course, correspond to the SYNTAX clause for the object. If the value is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, then it must be expressed as a single ASN.1 identifier, and not as a collection of sub-identifiers. Note that if an operand to the management protocol set operation is an instance of a read-only object, then the error `notWritable' [6] will be returned. As such, the DEFVAL clause can be used to provide an acceptable default value that a SNMPv2 entity acting in an agent role might use. By way of example, consider the following possible DEFVAL clauses: Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 32] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 ObjectSyntax DEFVAL clause ----------------- ------------ Integer32 1 -- same for Gauge32, TimeTicks, UInteger32 INTEGER valid -- enumerated value OCTET STRING 'ffffffffffff'H OBJECT IDENTIFIER sysDescr BIT STRING { primary, secondary } -- enumerated values IpAddress 'c0210415'H -- 192.33.4.21 Object types with SYNTAX of Counter32 and Counter64 may not have DEFVAL clauses, since they do not have defined initial values. However, it is recommended that they be initialized to zero. 7.10. Mapping of the OBJECT-TYPE value The value of an invocation of the OBJECT-TYPE macro is the name of the object, which is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. When an OBJECT IDENTIFIER is assigned to an object: (1) If the object corresponds to a conceptual table, then only a single assignment, that for a conceptual row, is present immediately beneath that object. The administratively assigned name for the conceptual row object is derived by appending a sub-identifier of "1" to the administratively assigned name for the conceptual table. (2) If the object corresponds to a conceptual row, then at least one assignment, one for each column in the conceptual row, is present beneath that object. The administratively assigned name for each column is derived by appending a unique, positive sub-identifier to the administratively assigned name for the conceptual row. (3) Otherwise, no other OBJECT IDENTIFIERs which are subordinate to the object may be assigned. Note that the final sub-identifier of any administratively assigned name for an object shall be positive. A zero-valued final sub-identifier is reserved for future use. Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 33] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 Further note that although conceptual tables and rows are given administratively assigned names, these conceptual objects may not be manipulated in aggregate form by the management protocol. Case, McCloghrie, Rose & Waldbusser [Page 34] RFC 1442 SMI for SNMPv2 April 1993 7.11. Usage Example Consider how one might define a conceptual table and its subordinates. evalSlot OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The index number of the first unassigned entry in the evaluation table. A management station should create new entries in the evaluation table using this algorithm: first, issue a management protocol retrieval operation to determine the value of evalSlot; and, second, issue a management protocol set operation to create an instance of the evalStatus object setting its value to underCreation(1). If this latter operation succeeds, then the management station may continue modifying the instances corresponding to the newly created conceptual row, without fear of collision with other management stations." ::= { eval 1 } evalTable OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF EvalEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The (conceptual) evaluation table." ::= { eval 2 } evalEntry OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX EvalEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An entry (conceptual row) in the evaluation table."

Mapping of the NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro The NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro is used to define the information contained within an unsolicited transmission of management information (i.e., within either a SNMPv2-Trap-PDU or InformRequest-PDU). It should be noted that the expansion of the NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro is something which conceptually happens during implementation and not during run-time. 8.1. Mapping of the OBJECTS clause The OBJECTS clause, which need not be present, defines the ordered sequence of MIB objects which are contained within every in
