           Pseudowire (PW) Management Information Base (MIB)

Abstract

   This memo defines a Standards Track portion of the Management
   Information Base for use with network management protocols in the
   Internet community.  In particular, it describes managed objects for
   modeling of Pseudowire Edge-to-Edge services carried over a general
   Packet Switched Network.

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.

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 a MIB module that can be used to manage
   pseudowire (PW) services for transmission over a Packet Switched
   Network (PSN) [RFC3931] [RFC4447].  This MIB module provides generic
   management of PWs that is common to all types of PSN and PW services
   defined by the IETF PWE3 Working Group.

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
