draft              IP Forwarding Table MIB          March 1995


1.  Introduction

This memo defines an update to RFC 1354, "IP Forwarding Table
MIB", for Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).  That
document was developed by the Router Requirements Working
Group as an update to RFC 1213's ipRouteTable, with the
display of multiple routes as a primary objective.  The
significant difference between this MIB and RFC 1354 is the
recognition (explicitly discussed but by consensus left to
future work) that CIDR routes may have the same network number
but different network masks.

2.  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components.  They are:

o    RFC 1441 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
     describing and naming objects for the purpose of
     management.

o    RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
     for the Internet suite of protocols.

o    RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
     architectural aspects of the framework.

o    RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network
     access to managed objects.

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the
purpose of experimentation and evaluation.


2.1.  Object Definitions

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
termed the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the
MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation
One (ASN.1) defined in the SMI.  In particular, each object
object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an
administratively assigned name.  The object type together with
an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific
instantiation of the object.  For human convenience, we often
use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the
object type.

draft              IP Forwarding Table MIB          March 1995


3.  Overview

The MIB consists of two tables and two global objects.

(1)  The object ipForwardNumber indicates the number of
     current routes.  This is primarily to avoid having to
     read the table in order to determine this number.

(2)  The ipForwardTable updates the RFC 1213 ipRouteTable to
     display multipath IP Routes.  This is in turn obsoleted
     by the ipCidrRouteTable.

(3)  The ipCidrRouteTable updates the RFC 1213 ipRouteTable to
     display multipath IP Routes having the same network
     number but differing network masks.

       Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has

       the agent removes an invalidated entry from the
