1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing dial-up
modems and similar dial-up devices. This MIB module provides a set
of objects that are the minimum necessary to provide the ability to
monitor and control those devices, and is consistent with the SNMP
framework and existing SNMP standards.

2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
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)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named
by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. 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 descriptor, to
refer to the object type.
