Definitions of Managed Objects for APPC using SMIv2

RFC 2051              SNANAU APPC MIB using SMIv2           October 1996


   string "#INTER" with no space characters for appcModeAdminModeName,
   regardless of how it appears in the BIND RU or in internal storage.
   The lone exception is the all blank mode name, for which the agent
   returns a length of 8 and the string " " (8 space characterss).

   When an SNA name is functioning as a table index, an agent shall
   treat trailing space characters as significant.  If a Management
   Station requests the objects from a row with index "#INTER  ", the
   agent does not match this to the row with index "#INTER".  Since an
   agent has no insignificant space characters in any of its table
   indices, the only reason for a Management Station to include them
   would be to start GetNext processing at a chosen point in a table.
   For example, a GetNext request with index "M       " would start
   retrieval from a table at the first row with an 8-character index
   beginning with M or a letter after M.

   The SNA/APPC terms and overall architecture are documented in [1],
   [5], and [6].

   Highlights of the management functions supported by the APPC MIB
   module include the following:

   o    Activating and deactivating statistics keeping and counting.

   o    Activating and deactivating tracing.

   o    Issuing CNOS processing verbs/commands for
        INITIALIZE_SESSION_LIMIT, CHANGE_SESSION_LIMIT and
        RESET_SESSION_LIMIT.

   o    Monitoring of parameters related to local LU, partner LU, modes,
        TPs and CPI-C side information.

   o    Deactivating sessions.

   o    Monitoring of LU6.2-specific session operational parameters and
        statistics, historical information about abnormally terminated
        sessions, and information about APPC sessions that are
        transported by APPN HPR.

   o    Monitoring of conversation operational parameters, and
        historical information about abnormally terminated sessions.
