ITU-T X.784 (03/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T X.784 Guidelines for implementation conformance statements proformas associated with SNMP-based management systems Summary Recommendation
9、ITU-T X.784 proposes guidelines for implement conformance statement (ICS) proformas for simple network management protocol (SNMP)-based interface systems. SNMP is widely used to manage nodes such as servers, workstations, routers and switches in IP networks. When SNMP-based management systems need t
10、o be interconnected, system testing is required in order to ensure operability among them. ICS proformas are a way for implementers to claim conformance to a standardized SNMP interface specification. This Recommendation provides an overview and constructions for the management information base (MIB
11、) and the structure of management information (SMI) and provides several proformas (tables) for each of the SMI components to be used in an interface. Instructions on how to fill in each column in the tables are also provided. Finally some examples of the SNMP interface ICS are provided in Appendix
12、I while additional information about the conformance test methodology for SNMP-based interfaces is provided in Appendix II.

ITU-T X.784 (03/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunic
14、ations, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunicat
15、ions on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure
16、laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommun
17、ication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these m
18、andatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draw
19、s attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or
20、 others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not repr
21、esent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/. ITU 2016 All rights reserved.

43、tem interface 6.1 Overview Conformance relates an implementation to a standard. It states in which way systems, implemented with respect to a standard, can vary without errors occurring in their cooperation. If an implementation fulfills these requirements, then it conforms to the standard. The chec
44、k of the statements is the conformance test. The starting point is the definition of conformance requirements in implementation independent interface specifications on the basis of an identification of reference points. A management interface specification shall define conformance reference points a
45、t which an object must be tested to check if it fulfils a set of conformance criteria. During the test, a number of stimuli and events are observed and evaluated at these conformance points. Management interface specifications shall include conformance statements which identify conformance reference
46、 points at every interface of the specified objects. In general, the information flow between two system components is realized through several reference points, thus the conformance test has to take into consideration the following: a) the test of such information flow at each reference point; and
47、b) the test of consistency between the combinations. Therefore, a coordinated test at all identified reference points is necessary. 6.2 Methodology of conformance test for SNMP-based interfaces This Recommendation provides guidelines for a conformance test of SNMP-based interfaces. In order to ensur
48、e consistency of testing methods for network management interfaces, the testing methodology and process for SNMP-based interfaces shall be consistent with the testing process of a common object request broker architecture (CORBA)-based interface as defined in ITU T-X.781. IETF RFC 2580 gives conform
49、ance statements for SMIv2 by defining several macros, and Appendix II provides information on the differences between IETF RFC 2580 and this Recommendation. 7 SMI-based management interface ICS proforma The structure of management information (SMI) is used to define interfaces of objects as a management information base (MIB) in SNMP-based systems.
