Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
Status of this Memo
This document 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" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This specification defines an extension to the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management. In
particular, it defines objects for configuring, monitoring, and
controlling routers that employ the Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) [17].
This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant with
SMIv2 [5], and semantically identical to the SMIv1 definitions [2].

1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second
version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [5], STD
58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first
set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described
in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and
associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13].

RFC 2787 VRRP MIB Management Objects March 2000
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [16].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
