INTERNET-DRAFT GSMP MIB October 1999
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 describes managed objects for the General Switch
Management Protocol (gsmp) [RFC1987].
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].
2. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
STD 16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC
1215 [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described
in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the
SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901]
and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message
protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906],
RFC 2572 [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of
protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in
RFC 1905 [RFC1905].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573
[RFC2573] and the view-based access control mechanism described
in RFC 2575 [RFC2575].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
Sjostrand Expires April 2000 [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT GSMP MIB October 1999
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.

INTERNET-DRAFT GSMP MIB October 1999
3. Structure of the MIB
This mib modelsprovides some managed objects according to GSMP v1.1
[RFC1987]. It does not address any of the new features in version 2
[RFC2397]. It is provided as a base for the work within the working
group to define a mib.
3.1 The GSMP Server Group
3.1.1. The GSMP Control Port
Used to configure the interface used for the control port. This
does not deal with the extended bearer capabilities of [24].
3.1.2. The GSMP Status
The status of the GSMP adjacency. THis does not deal with the
additional states defined in [24].
3.1.3. The GSMP Port table
This is a read only table of all ports available to the GSMP. This
does not deal with the new interface types or cababilities as defined
in [24].
3.2. The GSMP Notifications Group
This is currently empty, but should be extended with notifications as
defined in [24].
