Network Working Group J. Saperia Request for Comments: 1289 Digital Equipment Corporation December 1991 DECnet Phase IV MIB Extensions Status of this Memo This memo is an extension to the SNMP MIB. 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.

Author's Address............................................... 64 Abstract This memo defines a set of DECnet Phase IV extensions that have been created for the Internet MIB. When used in conjunction with the structure of management information (RFC 1155), the management information base for network management of TCP/IP-based internets (RFC 1213) and the Simple Network Management Protocol (RFC 1157), it will be possible to provide integrated network management of combined TCP/IP and DECnet Phase IV based internets. This document was produced by the DECnet Phase IV MIB working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). 1. Introduction With the adoption of The Simple Network Management Protocol (RFC 1157), the management information base for network management of TCP/IP-based internets (RFC 1213), and the structure of management information (RFC 1155), by the Internet, and a large number of vendor DECnet Phase IV MIB Working Group [Page 1] RFC 1289 DECnet Phase IV MIB December 1991 implementations of these standards in commercially available products, it became possible to provide a higher level of effective network management in TCP/IP-based internets than previously available. With the growth in the use of these standards, network managers desired to use this environment as a base for providing integrated network management of multi-protocol networks. DECnet Phase IV is one widely used protocol which often coexists in IP-based internets. This memo provides the mechanisms by which IP- based management stations can effectively manage DECnet Phase IV based systems (especially router products) in an integrated fashion through the use of the standard Internet SMI, MIB and Simple Network Management Protocol. DECnet Phase IV objects have been defined to be used in conjunction with the Internet MIB to allow access and control of these new objects by the Internet community. Additional support for other DECnet-based protocols such as RBMS (remote bridge management software) or other Digital Equipment Corporation Specific Hardware platforms is not included in this document. 2. Selected Objects The objects included in this memo have been created from the DIGITAL Network Architecture Network Management Functional Specification Version 4.0.0 Dated July 1983. An attempt has been made to provide a reasonable ordering of these variables into groups. These groups are: o System Group o Network Management Group o Session Group o End Group o Routing Group o Circuit Group o DDCMP Group o DDCMP Multipoint Control Group o Ethernet Group o Counters Group DECnet Phase IV MIB Working Group [Page 2] RFC 1289 DECnet Phase IV MIB December 1991 o Adjacency Group o Line Group o Non Broadcast Line Group o Area Group An effort has also been made to preserve the original syntax of the object wherever possible, for example, a DECnet Phase IV object is Executor State. This was originally coded as a NICE (Network Information and Control Exchange) data type which is a Coded single field object of 1 byte in length. When converted for inclusion into the Internet MIB using the Internet SMI, it became an enumerated integer. 3.
