Status of this Memo This memo provides the initial version of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets in the short-term. In particular, together with its companion memos which describe the structure of management information along with the initial network management protocol, these documents provide a simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in particular the Internet. McCloghrie & Rose [Page 1] RFC 1066 MIB August 1988 This memo specifies a draft standard for the Internet community. TCP/IP implementations in the Internet which are network manageable are expected to adopt and implement this specification. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. 2. IAB POLICY STATEMENT This MIB specification is the first edition of an evolving document defining variables needed for monitoring and control of various components of the Internet. Not all groups of defined variables are mandatory for all Internet components. For example, the EGP group is mandatory for gateways using EGP but not for hosts which should not be running EGP. Similarly, the TCP group is mandatory for hosts running TCP but not for gateways which aren't running it. What IS mandatory, however, is that all variables of a group be supported if any element of the group is supported. It is expected that additional MIB groups and variables will be defined over time to accommodate the monitoring and control needs of new or changing components of the Internet. The MIB working group will continue to refine this specification and projects a revision incorporating new requirements in early 1989. 3. Introduction As reported in RFC 1052, IAB Recommendations for the Development of Internet Network Management Standards [1], the Internet Activities Board has directed the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to create two new working groups in the area of network management. One group is charged with the further specification and definition of elements to be included in the Management Information Base. The other is charged with defining the modifications to the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to accommodate the short-term needs of the network vendor and operator communities. The long-term needs of the Internet community are to be met using the ISO CMIS/CMIP [2,3] framework as a basis. An existing IETF working group, the "NETMAN" group, is already engaged in defining the use of CMIS/CMIP in a TCP/IP network, and will continue with responsibility for addressing the longer-term requirements. The output of the MIB working group is to be provided to both the SNMP working group and the NETMAN group, so as to ensure compatibility of monitored items for both network management frameworks. The MIB working group has produced this memo and a companion. TheShow full document text
