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.

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

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

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.
