Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects for extending the Entity
MIB (RFC 2737) to provide generalized access to information related
to physical sensors, which are often found in networking equipment
(such as chassis temperature, fan RPM, power supply voltage).

RFC 3433 Entity Sensor MIB December 2002
1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
2. Overview
There is a need for a standardized way of obtaining information
related to the physical sensors which are commonly found in
networking equipment. Information such as the current value of the
sensor, the current operational status, and the data units precision
associated with the sensor, should be represented in a consistent
manner for any type of sensor.
Physical sensors are represented in the Entity MIB with
entPhysicalEntry and an entPhysicalClass value of 'sensor(8)'. The
information provided in the ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB module (defined in this
document) defines a sparse augmentation of the entPhysicalTable, for
entries which represent physical sensors.
2.1. Terms
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119.
[RFC2119]
2.2. Relationship to the Entity MIB
The MIB objects defined in this document provide a sparse
augmentation to the entPhysicalTable in the Entity MIB, for entries
in which the associated entPhysicalClass object is equal to
'sensor(8)'. An agent is expected to maintain an entPhySensorEntry
with the same entPhysicalIndex value for each entPhysicalEntry
representing a physical sensor. Therefore, implementation of the
entityPhysicalGroup is required for agents that implement the Entity
Sensor MIB.
Bierman, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 3433 Entity Sensor MIB December 2002
2.3. Relationship to General Thresholding Mechanisms
There are no specialized sensor value thresholding mechanisms defined
in this MIB module. Instead, it is recommended that a generalized
thresholding MIB, such as the mechanisms defined by the Alarm and
Events groups of the Remote Network Monitoring MIB [RFC2819], be used
for this purpose.
3. MIB Structure
The Entity Sensor MIB contains a single group called the
entitySensorValueGroup, which allows objects to convey the current
value and status of a physical sensor.
The entitySensorValueGroup contains a single table, called the
entPhySensorTable, which provides a small number of read-only
objects:
entPhySensorType
This object identifies the type of data units associated with the
sensor value.
entPhySensorScale
This object identifies the (power of 10) scaling factor associated
with the sensor value.
entPhySensorPrecision
This object identifies the number of decimal places of precision
associated with the sensor value.
entPhySensorValue
This object identifies the current value of the sensor.
entPhySensorOperStatus
This object identifies the current operational status of the
sensor (as it's known to the agent).
entPhySensorUnitsDisplay
This object provides a textual description of the data units
represented by the entPhySensorType and entPhySensorScale objects.
entPhySensorValueTimeStamp
The object identifies the value of sysUpTime at the time the agent
last updated the information in the entry. This object is only
relevant if the agent uses a polling implementation strategy,
(i.e., the associated entPhySensorValueUpdateRate object is
greater than zero).
Bierman, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3433 Entity Sensor MIB December 2002
entPhySensorValueUpdateRate
This object indicates the nature of the agent implementation of
the entPhySensorEntry, and contains the (possibly estimated)
number of milliseconds that elapse between polling updates of the
information in the associated entry. The value zero indicates
that the agent always return current data for the entry (as
opposed to the data as it was at the last polling interval).

DESCRIPTION
"An object using this data type represents a sensor
precision range.
An object of this type SHOULD be defined together with
objects of type EntitySensorDataType and
EntitySensorDataScale. Together, associated objects of
these three types are used to identify the semantics of an
object of type EntitySensorValue.
If an object of this type contains a value in the range 1 to
9, it represents the number of decimal places in the
fractional part of an associated EntitySensorValue fixed-
point number.
If an object of this type contains a value in the range -8
to -1, it represents the number of accurate digits in the
associated EntitySensorValue fixed-point number.
The value zero indicates the associated EntitySensorValue
object is not a fixed-point number.
Agent implementors must choose a value for the associated
EntitySensorPrecision object so that the precision and
Bierman, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 3433 Entity Sensor MIB December 2002
accuracy of the associated EntitySensorValue object is
correctly indicated.
For example, a physical entity representing a temperature
sensor that can measure 0 degrees to 100 degrees C in 0.1
degree increments, +/- 0.05 degrees, would have an
EntitySensorPrecision value of '1', an EntitySensorDataScale
value of 'units(9)', and an EntitySensorValue ranging from
'0' to '1000'. The EntitySensorValue would be interpreted
as 'degrees C * 10'."

DESCRIPTION
"An object using this data type represents an Entity Sensor
value.
An object of this type SHOULD be defined together with
objects of type EntitySensorDataType, EntitySensorDataScale
and EntitySensorPrecision. Together, associated objects of
those three types are used to identify the semantics of an
object of this data type.
The semantics of an object using this data type are
determined by the value of the associated
EntitySensorDataType object.
If the associated EntitySensorDataType object is equal to
'voltsAC(3)', 'voltsDC(4)', 'amperes(5)', 'watts(6),
'hertz(7)', 'celsius(8)', or 'cmm(11)', then an object of
this type MUST contain a fixed point number ranging from
-999,999,999 to +999,999,999. The value -1000000000
indicates an underflow error. The value +1000000000
indicates an overflow error. The EntitySensorPrecision
indicates how many fractional digits are represented in the
associated EntitySensorValue object.
If the associated EntitySensorDataType object is equal to
'percentRH(9)', then an object of this type MUST contain a
number ranging from 0 to 100.
If the associated EntitySensorDataType object is equal to
'rpm(10)', then an object of this type MUST contain a number
ranging from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999.
If the associated EntitySensorDataType object is equal to
'truthvalue(12)', then an object of this type MUST contain
either the value 'true(1)' or the value 'false(2)'.
Bierman, et. al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 3433 Entity Sensor MIB December 2002
If the associated EntitySensorDataType object is equal to
'other(1)' or unknown(2)', then an object of this type MUST
contain a number ranging from -1000000000 to 1000000000."

presently cannot obtain the sensor value.
The value 'nonoperational(3)' indicates that the agent

9. Security Considerations
There is one managed object in this MIB that may contain sensitive
information. This is:
entPhySensorValue
This object may expose the values of particular physical sensors for
a device.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), there is no control as
to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET
(read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that the implementors consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model STD 62, RFC 3414 [RFC3414] and the
View-based Access Control Model STD 62, RFC 3415 [RFC3415] is
recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to only the objects, and those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
(change/create/delete) them.
