Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are
working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other
groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-
Drafts.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
months. Internet-Drafts may be updated, replaced, or
obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is not
appropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to
cite them other than as a ``working draft'' or ``work in
progress.''

Abstract
This document is one in the series of documents that define
various MIB object groups for IPv6. Specifically, the ICMPv6
group is defined in this document.
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management

Information Base (MIB) for use with network management
protocols in the IPv6-based internets.
This document specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both
compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the
peer SNMPv1 definitions.

1. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework presently consists of
three major components. They are:
o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [1] - the mechanisms used
for describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management.
o the MIB-II, described in RFC 1213/STD 17 [3] - the core
set of managed objects for the Internet suite of
protocols.
o RFC 1157 [4] and RFC 1905 [5] which define two versions
of the protocol used for network access to managed
objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the
purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
1.1. Object Definitions
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the
MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation
One (ASN.1) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object
type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively
assigned name. The object type together with an object
instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation
of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual
string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the object type.

2. Overview
This document is the one in the series of documents that
define various MIB object groups for IPv6. These groups are
the basic unit of conformance: if the semantics of a group is
applicable to an implementation, then it must implement all
objects in that group. For example, an implementation must
implement the TCP group if and only if it implements the TCP
over IPv6 protocol. At minimum, implementations must
implement the IPv6 General group [8] as well as the ICMPv6
group defined in this document.
This document defines the ICMPv6 group of the IPv6 MIB.

the input interface for the message.
Similarly, the sending interface is
the interface that sources a given
ICMP message which is usually but not
necessarily the output interface for the message."

Certain management information defined in this MIB may be
considered sensitive in some network environments.
Therefore, authentication of received SNMP requests and
controlled access to management information should be employed
in such environments.
