This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
the Internet community. In particular, it describes the textual
conventions to be used in the various Pseudo Wire (PW) MIB modules.

2 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 Textual Conventions used in
IETF PW and PW-related MIBs.
Comments should be made directly to the MPLS mailing list at
pwe3@ietf.org.
For an introduction to the concepts of Pseudo-Wires, see [PWREQ]
and [FRMWK].
Conventions used in this document
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
[BCP14].
3 Terminology
This document uses terminology from the document describing the PW
framework [FRMWK].

4 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], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, 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 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.

4.1 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, an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an
administratively assigned name, names each object type. 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 also refer to
the object type.

indications available at the service
level indicate that the VC is not
passing packets.
- testing: If AdminStatus at the VC level is set to

in OperStatus 'up'.

6 Security Considerations
This memo defines textual conventions and object identities for use
in MPLS MIB modules. Security issues for these MIB modules are
addressed in the memos defining those modules.
