115.Sh DESCRIPTION
116The
117.Nm snmp_mibII
118module implements parts of the internet standard MIB-2.
119Most of the relevant MIBs are implemented.
120Some of the tables are restricted to be read-only instead of read-write.
121The exact current implementation can be found in
122.Pa @DEFPATH@mibII_tree.def .
123The module also exports a number of functions and global variables for use
124by other modules, that need to handle network interfaces.
125This man page describes these functions.
126.Ss DIRECT NETWORK ACCESS
127The
128.Nm
129module opens a socket that is used to execute all network related
130.Xr ioctl 2
131functions.
132This socket is globally available under the name
133.Va mib_netsock .
134.Ss NETWORK INTERFACES
135The
136.Nm
137module handles a list of all currently existing network interfaces.
138It allows
139other modules to handle their own interface lists with special information
140by providing a mechanism to register to events that change the interface list
141(see below).
142The basic data structure is the interface structure:
143.Bd -literal -offset indent
144struct mibif {
145	TAILQ_ENTRY(mibif) link;
146	u_int		flags;
147	u_int		index;	/* logical ifindex */
148	u_int		sysindex;
149	char		name[IFNAMSIZ];
150	char		descr[256];
151	struct ifmibdata mib;
152	uint64_t	mibtick;
153	void		*specmib;
154	size_t		specmiblen;
155	u_char		*physaddr;
156	u_int		physaddrlen;
157	int		has_connector;
158	int		trap_enable;
159	uint64_t	counter_disc;
160	mibif_notify_f	xnotify;
161	void		*xnotify_data;
162	const struct lmodule *xnotify_mod;
163	struct asn_oid	spec_oid;
164};
165.Ed
166.Pp
167The
168.Nm
169module tries to implement the semantic if
170.Va ifIndex
171as described in RFC-2863.
172This RFC states, that an interface indexes may not be reused.
173That means, for example, if
174.Pa tun
175is a synthetic interface type and the system creates the interface
176.Pa tun0 ,
177destroys this interfaces and again creates a
178.Pa tun 0 ,
179then these interfaces must have different interface indexes, because in fact
180they are different interfaces.
181If, on the other hand, there is a hardware interface
182.Pa xl0
183and this interface disappears, because its driver is unloaded and appears
184again, because the driver is loaded again, the interface index must stay
185the same.
186.Nm
187implements this by differentiating between real and synthetic (dynamic)
188interfaces.
189An interface type can be declared dynamic by calling the function
190.Fn mib_if_set_dyn
191with the name if the interface type (for example
192.Qq tun ).
193For real interfaces, the module keeps the mapping between the interface name
194and its
195.Va ifIndex
196in a special list, if the interface is unloaded.
197For dynamic interfaces
198a new
199.Va ifIndex
200is generated each time the interface comes into existence.
201This means, that the interface index as seen by SNMP is not the same index
202as used by the system.
203The SNMP
204.Va ifIndex
205is held in field
206.Va index ,
207the system's interface index is
208.Va sysindex .
209.Pp
210A call to
211.Nm mib_refresh_iflist
212causes the entire interface list to be re-created.
213.Pp
214The interface list can be traversed with the functions
215.Fn mib_first_if
216and
217.Fn mib_next_if .
218Be sure not to change the interface list while traversing the list with
219these two calls.
220.Pp
221There are three functions to find an interface by name or index.
222.Fn mib_find_if
223finds an interface by searching for an SNMP
224.Va ifIndex ,
225.Fn mib_find_if_sys
226finds an interface by searching for a system interface index and
227.Fn mib_find_if_name
228finds an interface by looking for an interface name.
229Each of the function returns
230.Li NULL
231if the interface cannot be found.
232.Pp
233The function
234.Fn mib_fetch_ifmib
235causes the interface MIB to be refreshed from the kernel.
236.Pp
237The function
238.Fn mib_if_admin
239can be used to change the interface administrative state to up
240(argument is 1) or down (argument is 0).
241.Ss INTERFACE EVENTS
242A module can register itself to receive a notification when a new entry is
243created in the interface list.
244This is done by calling
245.Fn mib_register_newif .
246A module can register only one function, a second call to
247.Fn mib_register_newif
248causes the registration to be overwritten.
249The registration can be removed with a call to
250.Fn mib_unregister_newif .
251It is unregistered automatically, when the registering module is unloaded.
252.Pp
253A module can also register to events on a specific interface.
254This is done by calling
255.Fn mibif_notify .
256This causes the given callback
257.Fa func
258to be called with the interface pointer, a notification code and
259the user argument
260.Fa uarg
261when any of the following events occur:
262.Bl -tag -width "XXXXX"
263.It Li MIBIF_NOTIFY_DESTROY
264The interface is destroyed.
265.El
266.Pp
267This mechanism can be used to implement interface type specific MIB parts
268in other modules.
269The registration can be removed with
270.Fn mib_unnotify
271which the return value from
272.Fa mib_notify .
273Any notification registration is removed automatically when the interface
274is destroyed or the registering module is unloaded.
275.Em Note that only one module can register to any given interface .
276.Ss INTERFACE ADDRESSES
277The
278.Nm
279module handles a table of interface IP-addresses.
280These addresses are held in a
281.Bd -literal -offset indent
282struct mibifa {
283	TAILQ_ENTRY(mibifa) link;
284	struct in_addr	inaddr;
285	struct in_addr	inmask;
286	struct in_addr	inbcast;
287	struct asn_oid	index;
288	u_int		ifindex;
289	u_int		flags;
290};
291.Ed
292.Pp
293The (ordered) list of IP-addresses on a given interface can be traversed by
294calling
295.Fn mib_first_ififa
296and
297.Fn mib_next_ififa .
298The list should not be considered read-only.
299.Ss INTERFACE RECEIVE ADDRESSES
300The internet MIB-2 contains a table of interface receive addresses.
301These addresses are handled in:
302.Bd -literal -offset indent
303struct mibrcvaddr {
304	TAILQ_ENTRY(mibrcvaddr) link;
305	struct asn_oid	index;
306	u_int		ifindex;
307	u_char		addr[ASN_MAXOIDLEN];
308	size_t		addrlen;
309	u_int		flags;
310};
311enum {
312	MIBRCVADDR_VOLATILE	= 0x00000001,
313	MIBRCVADDR_BCAST	= 0x00000002,
314	MIBRCVADDR_HW		= 0x00000004,
315};
316.Ed
317.Pp
318Note, that the assignment of
319.Li MIBRCVADDR_BCAST
320is based on a list of known interface types.
321The flags should be handled
322by modules implementing interface type specific MIBs.
323.Pp
324A receive address can be created with
325.Fn mib_rcvaddr_create
326and deleted with
327.Fn mib_rcvaddr_delete .
328This needs to be done only for addresses that are not automatically handled
329by the system.
330.Pp
331A receive address can be found with
332.Fn mib_find_rcvaddr .
333.Ss INTERFACE STACK TABLE
334The
335.Nm
336module maintains also the interface stack table.
337Because for complex stacks,
338there is no system supported generic way of getting this information, interface
339type specific modules need to help setting up stack entries.
340The
341.Nm
342module handles only the top and bottom entries.
343.Pp
344A table entry is created with
345.Fn mib_ifstack_create
346and deleted with
347.Fn mib_ifstack_delete .
348Both functions need the pointers to the interfaces.
349Entries are automatically
350deleted if any of the interfaces of the entry is destroyed.
351The functions handle
352both the stack table and the reverse stack table.
