Network Working Group S. Waldbusser Request for Comments: 1513 Carnegie Mellon University Updates: 1271 September 1993 Token Ring Extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB Status of this Memo This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This memo defines extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB for managing 802.5 Token Ring networks. The Remote Network Monitoring MIB, RFC 1271, defines a framework for remote monitoring functions implemented on a network probe. That MIB defines objects broken down into nine functional groups. Some of those functional groups, the statistics and the history groups, have a view of the data-link layer that is specific to the media type and require specific objects to be defined for each media type. RFC 1271 defined those specific objects necessary for Ethernet. This companion memo defines those specific objects necessary for Token Ring LANs. In addition, this memo defines some additional monitoring functions specifically for Token Ring. These are defined in the Ring Station Group, the Ring Station Order Group, the Ring Station Configuration Group, and the Source Routing Statistics Group. Table of Contents 1.

Author's Address ...................................... 55 1. The Network 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 [2] defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI. STD 17, RFC 1213 [3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. STD 15, RFC 1157 [4] 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. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Within a given MIB module, objects are defined using STD 16, RFC 1212's OBJECT-TYPE macro. At a minimum, each object has a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an implementation-status. 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,Show full document text
