NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)

Definitions of Managed Objects for the NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP)

“…The NHRP Protocol, RFC 2332 [17], Section 5.2.4.4 discusses security. There is an authentication option which should be utilized to authenticate the source and also provide data integrity to the NHRP payload.…”

“…In particular, it describes managed objects for the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) as defined in RFC 2332 [17].…”

“…Items denoted as (read-only) are those which would provide information. Although the NHRP Protocol [17], requires or has this information, exposing it in a MIB would jeopardize the entire NBMA domain where NHRP was being used. Therefore, these items have been omitted from the MIB.…”

“…All NHSs belonging to a Logical IP Subnet (LIS) [1] are said to belong to a Server Group (SG). An SG is identified by, not surprisingly, its SGID which is contained in a field in all SCSP packets.…”

Using the MARS Model in non-ATM NBMA Networks

“…Using different mar$afn (Address Family) values in the fixed header of MARS control messages allows MARS entities to indicate they are carrying other types of NBMA addresses (as done in NHRP [3]). As for NHRP, the interpretation of the 'sub-address' fields shall be in the context of the address family selected (which means it will often simply be null).…”
