RFC 5542 TC for PW Management May 2009
Abstract
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module that
contains textual conventions (TCs) to represent commonly used
pseudowire (PW) management information. The intent is that these TCs
will be imported and used in PW-related MIB modules that would
otherwise define their own representations.

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 defines textual conventions used for pseudowire
(PW) technology and for Pseudowire Edge-to-Edge Emulation (PWE3) MIB
modules.
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 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].
3. Conventions Used in This Document
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 [RFC2119].
