Network Mobility (NEMO) Management Information Base
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 memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB),
the Network Mobility (NEMO) support MIB, for use with network
management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, the
NEMO MIB will be used to monitor and control a Mobile IPv6 node with
NEMO functionality.

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
2.1. The Mobile IPv6 Protocol and NEMO Entities
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) [RFC3775] specifies a protocol that allows nodes
to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. The
Network Mobility (NEMO) Basic Support Protocol [RFC3963] is an
extension to the Mobile IPv6 protocol that facilitates the movement
of an entire network. The goals of Network Mobility support and
related terminology are discussed in [RFC4886] and [RFC4885],
respectively.
Typically, mobile routers implement NEMO functionality for achieving
network mobility. However, a mobile router may also function as a
mobile node. In the context of this document, an entity that
implements the NEMO protocol is a NEMO entity.

RFC 5488 NEMO Management Information Base April 2009
This document defines a set of managed objects (MOs) that can be used
to monitor and control NEMO entities.
2.2. Relationship to Other MIB Modules
This document focuses on the management of a NEMO entity. It is
assumed that implementations will support the ifTable from the IF-MIB
[RFC2863]. The MOBILEIPV6-MIB [RFC4295] defines the managed objects
