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].
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].
2. Overview
This document describes an SNMP MIB module for managing VDSL Lines.
These definitions are based upon the specifications for VDSL as
defined in T1E1, ETSI, and ITU documentation [T1E1311, T1E1011,
T1E1013, ETSI2701, ETSI2702, ITU9931, ITU9971].
The MIB module is located in the MIB tree under MIB 2 transmission,
as discussed in the MIB-2 Integration (RFC 2863 [RFC2863]) section of
this document.
2.1. Relationship of the VDSL Line MIB Module to other MIB Modules
This section outlines the relationship of this MIB with other MIBs
described in RFCs. Specifically, IF-MIB as presented in RFC 2863
[RFC2863] is discussed.
2.1.1. General IF-MIB Integration (RFC 2863)
The VDSL Line MIB specifies the detailed attributes of a data
interface. As such, it needs to integrate with RFC 2863 [RFC2863].
The IANA has assigned the following ifType to VDSL:
