Introduction

IPv6 is the „next generation” protocol designed by IETF to replace the current IPv4

  • since January 1995
  • more and more popular regular service
  • no support for IPv6 in commercial management platforms

No Support for IPv6 in Management Platforms

Management platforms:

  • HP OpenView
  • Tivoli NetView
  • Cisco CiscoWorks
  • IPSWITCH WhatsUp

The Idea of SNMP Transition Tool

The main purpose of the development the SNMP Transition Tool is to enable the existing IPv4 network management platforms to monitor and configure the native IPv6 networks. The SNMP Transition Tool will translate SNMP protocol messages between IPv4 and IPv6 networks using its Address Translation Table.

Efficiency Every station performs a snmpwalk towards all agents simultaneously using the Transition Tool. The Transition Tool translates SNMP packets between IPv4 and IPv6 networks in both directions.

Implementation

Testbed presented on TF-NGN, Poznan, May 2003:

  • IPv4 network
  • WhatsUp
  • SNMP Transition

Tool

  • IPv6 network

Web interface possible

Future Development

  • Extend tool with new modules – DNS, 6tunnel, etc
  • Trap forwarding
  • SubAgent – collaborates with any SNMP agent AgentX

protocol compatible

  • Automatic address configuration
  • MIB conversions – lots of problems to solve, e.g. see RFC

2962 - "An SNMP Application Level Gateway for Payload Address Translation"
