Network Working Group D. McMaster Request for Comments: 1368 SynOptics Communications, Inc. K. McCloghrie Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. October 1992 Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices 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 memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing IEEE 802.3 10 Mb/second baseband repeaters, sometimes referred to as "hubs." Table of Contents 1.

Management Framework The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are: STD 16/RFC 1155 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD 16/RFC 1212 [7] defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI. RFC 1156 [2] which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. STD 17/RFC 1213 [4] defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new operational requirements. STD 15/RFC 1157 [3] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network access to managed objects. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. 2. Objects 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) [5] defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax, and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. 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 OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type. The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for this purpose. However, the SMI [1] purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly madeShow full document text
