Network Working Group L. Labarre, Editor Request for Comments: 1214 MITRE April 1991 OSI Internet Management: Management Information Base Status of this Memo This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This RFC documents a MIB for use with CMIP, either over pure OSI stacks or with the CMIP over TCP specification. It redefines objects comprised by the second revision of the Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II so as to conform to the OSI structure of management information. This document is a product of the IETF OIM working group. Table of Contents 1. Introduction................................................ 2 2.

Introduction This memo defines the management information base (MIB) for use with the OSI network management protocol in TCP/IP based internets. It formats the Management Information Base (MIB-II) in OSI templates and adds variables necessary for use with the OSI management protocol. Together with internet memos that define agreements for using the OSI management protocol to manage TCP/IP internets (RFC 1189) [3], the management information base: MIB-II, and OSI standards defining the structure of management information (ISO/IEC DIS 10165) [4,5,6], these documents provide an OSI compatible architecture and system for managing TCP/IP based internets and in particular the Internet community. This OSI version of the MIB specification is an incremental refinement of MIB-II. It has been designed according to the following policy: first, maintain compatibility with MIB-II by including objects in MIB-II without changes to their registered identifiers, syntax, and behaviour; second, format the MIB-II using the OSI structure of information defined templates; third, add attributes necessary for identification using the OSI management protocol; fourth, identify object instances in a manner which is compatible with development of a common application programming interface for both CMIP and SNMP; and finally, define notifications (events), including those defined by SNMP (RFC 1157) [14], deemed necessary for management. It is expected that the MIB will grow over time to accommodate the changing needs of the Internet.Show full document text
