Abstract
This MIB module defines textual conventions to represent commonly
used Internet network layer addressing information. The intent is
that these definitions will be imported and used in MIBs that would
otherwise define their own representations.
This work is output from the Operations and Management Area
"IPv6MIB" design team.

1. Introduction
Several standard-track MIB modules use the IpAddress SMIv2 base
type. This limits the applicability of these MIB modules to IP
Version 4 (IPv4) since the IpAddress SMIv2 base type can only
contain 4 byte IPv4 addresses. The IpAddress SMIv2 base type has
become problematic with the introduction of IP Version 6 (IPv6)
addresses [21].
This document defines multiple textual conventions as a mechanism to
express generic Internet network layer addresses within MIB module
specifications. The solution is compatible with SMIv2 (STD 58) and
SMIv1 (STD 16). New MIB definitions which need to express network
layer Internet addresses SHOULD use the textual conventions defined
in this memo. New MIBs SHOULD NOT use the SMIv2 IpAddress base type
anymore.
A generic Internet address consists of two objects, one whose syntax
is InetAddressType, and another whose syntax is InetAddress. The
value of the first object determines how the value of the second
object is encoded. The InetAddress textual convention represents an
opaque Internet address value. The InetAddressType enumeration is
used to "cast" the InetAddress value into a concrete textual
convention for the address type. This usage of multiple textual
conventions allows expression of the display characteristics of each
address type and makes the set of defined Internet address types
extensible.
The textual conventions defined in this document can be used to
define Internet addresses by using DNS domain names in addition to
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. A MIB designer can write compliance
statements to express that only a subset of the possible address
types must be supported by a compliant implementation.
MIB developers who need to represent Internet addresses SHOULD use
these definitions whenever applicable, as opposed to defining their
own constructs. Even MIBs that only need to represent IPv4 or IPv6
addresses SHOULD use the textual conventions defined in this memo.
In order to make existing widely-deployed IPv4-only MIBs fit for
IPv6, it might be a valid approach to define separate tables for
different address types. This is a decision for the MIB designer.
For example, the tcpConnTable of the TCP-MIB [18] was left intact
and a new table was added for TCP connections over IPv6 in the
IPV6-TCP-MIB [19]. Note that even in this case, the MIBs SHOULD use
the textual conventions defined in this memo.
Note that MIB developers SHOULD NOT use the textual conventions
defined in this document to represent transport layer addresses.

Instead the SMIv2 TAddress textual convention and associated
definitions should be used for transport layer addresses.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].

2. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [2].
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 [3], STD 16, RFC 1212 [4] and RFC 1215 [5]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[6], STD 58, RFC 2579 [7] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [8].
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 [9]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [10] and
RFC 1906 [11]. The third version of the message protocol is
called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [11], RFC 2572 [12] and
RFC 2574 [13].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [9]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[14].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [15] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[16].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management
Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [17].
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. Usage Hints
One particular usage of InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs is to
avoid over-constraining an object definition by the use of the
IpAddress SMI base type. An InetAddressType/InetAddress pair allows
to represent IP addresses in various formats.
The InetAddressType and InetAddress objects SHOULD NOT be subtyped.
Subtyping binds the MIB module to specific address formats, which
may cause serious problems if new address formats need to be
introduced. Note that it is possible to write compliance statements
in order to express that only a subset of the defined address types
must be implemented to be compliant.
Internet addresses MUST always be represented by a pair of
InetAddressType/InetAddress objects. It is not allowed to "share" an
InetAddressType between multiple InetAddress objects. Furthermore,
the InetAddressType object must be registered immediately before the
InetAddress object. In other words, the OIDs for the InetAddressType
object and the InetAddress object MUST have the same length and the
last sub-identifier of the InetAddressType object MUST be 1 less
than the last sub-identifier of the InetAddress object.
4.1 Table Indexing
When a generic Internet address is used as an index, both the
InetAddressType and InetAddress objects MUST be used. The
InetAddressType object MUST come immediately before the InetAddress
object in the INDEX clause. If multiple Internet addresses are used
in the INDEX clause, then every Internet address must be represented
by a pair of InetAddressType and InetAddress objects.
The IMPLIED keyword MUST NOT be used for an object of type
InetAddress in an the INDEX clause. Instance sub-identifiers are
then of the form T.N.O1.O2...On, where T is the value of the
InetAddressType object, O1...On are the octets in the InetAddress
object, and N is the number of those octets.
There is a meaningful lexicographical ordering to tables indexed in
this fashion. Command generator applications may
o lookup specific addresses of known type and value;
o issue GetNext requests for addresses of a single type;
o issue GetNext requests for specific type and address prefix.

Internet-Draft TCs for Internet Network Addresses January 2000
4.2 Uniqueness of Addresses
IPv4 addresses were intended to be globally unique, current usage
notwithstanding. IPv6 addresses were architected to have different
scopes and hence uniqueness [21]. In particular, IPv6 "link-local"
and "site-local" addresses are not guaranteed to be unique on any
particular node. In such cases, the duplicate addresses must be
configured on different interfaces, so the combination of an IPv6
address and an interface number is unique.
The InetAddressIPv6 textual convention has been defined to represent
global and non-global IPv6 addresses. MIB designers who use
InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs therefore do not need to worry
about link-local or site-local addresses.
The size of the scope identifier has been choosen so that it matches
the sin6_scope_id field of the sockaddr_in6 structure defined in RFC
2553 [22].
4.3 Multiple InetAddresses per Host
A single host system may be configured with multiple addresses (IPv4
or IPv6), and possibly with multiple DNS names. Thus it is possible
for a single host system to be represented by multiple (unique)
InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs.
If this could be an implementation or usage issue, then the
DESCRIPTION clause of the relevant objects MUST fully describe
required behavior.
4.4 Resolving DNS Names
DNS names must be resolved to IP addresses when communication with a
host is required. This raises a temporal aspect to defining MIB
objects whose value is a DNS name: When is the name translated to an
address?
For example, consider an object defined to indicate a forwarding
destination, and whose value is a DNS name. When does the forwarding
entity resolve the DNS name? Each time forwarding occurs? Once, when
the object was instantiated?
The DESCRIPTION clause of such objects SHOULD precisely define how
and when any required name to address resolution is done.
Similarly, the DESCRIPTION clause of such objects SHOULD precisely
define how and when a reverse lookup is being done if an object is
not created administratively.

5. Table Indexing Example
This example shows a table listing communication peers that are
identified by either an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address or a DNS name.
The table definition also prohibits entries with an empty address
(whose type would be "unknown"). The size of a DNS name is limited
to 64 characters.
peerTable OBJECT-TYPE

MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A list of communication peers."
::= { somewhere 1 }
peerEntry OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX PeerEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An entry containing information about a particular peer."
INDEX { peerAddressType, peerAddress }
::= { peerTable 1 }
PeerEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
peerAddressType InetAddressType,
peerAddress InetAddress,
peerStatus INTEGER
}
peerAddressType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX InetAddressType
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The type of Internet address by which the peer
is reachable."
::= { peerEntry 1 }
peerAddress OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX InetAddress (SIZE (1..64))
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The Internet address for the peer. Note that
implementations must limit themselves to a single
entry in this table per reachable peer.
Daniele, et. al. Expires July 21, 2000 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft TCs for Internet Network Addresses January 2000
The peerAddress may not be empty due to the SIZE
restriction.
If a row is created administratively by an SNMP
operation and the address type value is dns(4),
then a name lookup must be performed whenever
this entry is being used to contact the peer.
If a row is created by the managed entity and the
address type value is dns(4), then a reverse lookup
need be performed only when the row is instantiated."
::= { peerEntry 2 }
The following compliance statement specifies that implementations
need only support IPv4 addresses and globally unique IPv6 addresses
to be compliant. Support for DNS names or scoped IPv6 addresses is
not required.
peerCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The compliance statement the peer MIB."
MODULE -- this module

SYNTAX InetAddressType { ipv4(1), ipv6(2) }
DESCRIPTION
"An implementation is only required to support IPv4

6. Security Considerations
This module does not define any management objects. Instead, it
defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other MIB
modules to define management objects.
Meaningful security considerations can only be written in the
modules that define management objects.
