1. Introduction
The Energy Management (EMAN) standards provide a specification for
Energy Management. This document defines a subset of a Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols for
Energy monitoring of network devices and devices attached to the
network and possibly extending to devices in the industrial
automation setting with a network interface.
The focus of the MIB module specified in this document is on the
identification of Energy Objects and reporting the context and
relationships of Energy Objects as defined in [RFC7326]. The module
addresses Energy Object identification, Energy Object context, and
Energy Object relationships.
1.1. Energy Management Document Overview
This document specifies the Energy Object Context (ENERGY-OBJECT-
CONTEXT-MIB) and IANA Energy Relationship (IANA-ENERGY-RELATION-MIB)
modules. The Energy Object Context MIB module specifies MIB objects
for identification of Energy Objects, and reporting context and
relationship of an Energy Object. The IANA Energy Relationship MIB
module specifies the first version of the IANA-maintained definitions
of relationships between Energy Objects.
