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

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   Specifically, this document describes a MIB for the Intermediate
   System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Routing protocol when it is
   used to construct routing tables for IP networks.

1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].

2.  Overview

   This document describes a management information base for the
   Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Routing protocol,
   as described in ISO 10589 [ISO10589], when it is used to construct
   routing tables for IP networks, as described in RFC 1195 [RFC1195].
   The objects are mainly derived from the Guidelines for Definition of
   Managed Objects (GDMO) definitions in ISO 10589 and from the GDMO
   definitions in ISO 10733 [ISO10733].  There are also additional
   objects for managing the IP-specific functionality of Integrated IS-
   IS operation.

   This MIB imports definitions from SNMPv2-TC [RFC2579], SNMPv2-SMI
   [RFC2578], SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580], SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB [RFC3411],
   DIFFSERV-MIB [RFC3289], IF-MIB [RFC2863], and INET-ADDRESS-MIB
   [RFC4001].  See the imports section of the MIB for the specific items
   imported.

   This MIB defines some objects to manage Mesh Groups, described in
   [RFC2973], and a three-way handshake for point-to-point adjacencies,
   described in [RFC3373].

   The IS-IS MIB defines the following objects:

   System-Wide Attributes

      -  isisSystem

         This table contains information specific to a single instance
         of the IS-IS protocol running on a router.

      -  isisManAreaAddr

         This table includes area addresses that are manually
         configured, which are used to control the associations formed
         between Level 1 Intermediate Systems.

      -  isisAreaAddr

         This table includes area addresses reported in relevant L1
         LSPs.

      -  isisSummAddr

         This table holds summary addresses configured for each Level 2
         instance of the IS-IS protocol running on a router.

      -  isisRedistributeAddr

         This table provides criteria to decide whether a route should
         be leaked from L2 to L1 when Domain Wide Prefix leaking is
         enabled.

      -  isisRouter

         This table holds the hostname and router ID for Intermediate
         Systems in the network.

      -  isisSysLevel

         This table contains information specific to a domain (Level 2)
         or an area (Level 1) of the IS-IS protocol.
