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 objects used for managing the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) version 1 [RFC1112], version 2 [RFC2236], or version 3 [RFC3376] and the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol version 1 [RFC2710] or version 2 [RFC3810]. Both protocols provide multicast membership discovery capability. IGMP pertains to IP version 4 clients, and MLD to IP version 6 clients. This version of the MIB obsoletes both RFC 2933 [RFC2933] and RFC 3019 [RFC3019], incorporating a generic interface for both IGMP and MLD implementations and incorporating changes to enable "source filtering" in multicast clients. The MIB encompasses both router and host nodes with relevant management objects defined for each. 2. 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].

Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 4. Overview This Multicast Group Membership Discovery (MGMD) MIB module contains eight tables: 1. the MGMD Host Interface Table, which contains one row for each interface on which IGMP or MLD is enabled on a host, 2. the MGMD Router Interface Table, which contains one row for each interface on which MGMD is enabled on a router,Show full document text
