Status of this Memo This RFC is a re-release of RFC 1066, with a changed "Status of this Memo", "IAB Policy Statement", and "Introduction" sections plus a few minor typographical corrections. The technical content of the document is unchanged from RFC 1066. This memo provides the initial version of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets in the short-term. In particular, together with its companion memos which describe the structure of management McCloghrie & Rose [Page 1] RFC 1156 MIB May 1990 information along with the initial network management protocol, these documents provide a simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in particular the Internet. This memo specifies a Standard Protocol for the Internet community. TCP/IP implementations in the Internet which are network manageable are expected to adopt and implement this specification. The Internet Activities Board recommends that all IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. This implies implementation of the Internet MIB (RFC-1156) and at least one of the two recommended management protocols SNMP (RFC-1157) or CMOT (RFC-1095). It should be noted that, at this time, SNMP is a full Internet standard and CMOT is a draft standard. See also the Host and Gateway Requirements RFCs for more specific information on the applicability of this standard. Please refer to the latest edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" RFC for current information on the state and status of standard Internet protocols. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. 2. IAB Policy Statement This MIB specification is the first edition of an evolving document defining variables needed for monitoring and control of various components of the Internet. Not all groups of defined variables are mandatory for all Internet components. For example, the EGP group is mandatory for gateways using EGP but not for hosts which should not be running EGP. Similarly, the TCP group is mandatory for hosts running TCP but not for gateways which aren't running it. What IS mandatory, however, is that all variables of a group be supported if any element of the group is supported. It is expected that additional MIB groups and variables will be defined over time to accommodate the monitoring and control needs of new or changing components of the Internet. The responsible working group(s) will continue to refine this specification. 3.
