1. Abstract
This memo defines the second version of the Management Information
Base (MIB-II) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-
based internets. In particular, together with its companion memos
which describe the structure of management information (RFC 1155)
along with the network management protocol (RFC 1157) for TCP/IP-
based internets, these documents provide a simple, workable
architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in
particular the Internet community.
2. Introduction
As reported in RFC 1052, IAB Recommendations for the Development of
Internet Network Management Standards [1], a two-prong strategy for
network management of TCP/IP-based internets was undertaken. In the
short-term, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was to be
used to manage nodes in the Internet community. In the long-term,
the use of the OSI network management framework was to be examined.
Two documents were produced to define the management information: RFC
1065, which defined the Structure of Management Information (SMI)
[2], and RFC 1066, which defined the Management Information Base
(MIB) [3]. Both of these documents were designed so as to be
compatible with both the SNMP and the OSI network management
framework.
This strategy was quite successful in the short-term: Internet-based
network management technology was fielded, by both the research and
commercial communities, within a few months. As a result of this,
portions of the Internet community became network manageable in a
timely fashion.
As reported in RFC 1109, Report of the Second Ad Hoc Network
Management Review Group [4], the requirements of the SNMP and the OSI
SNMP Working Group [Page 2]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
network management frameworks were more different than anticipated.
As such, the requirement for compatibility between the SMI/MIB and
both frameworks was suspended. This action permitted the operational
network management framework, the SNMP, to respond to new operational
needs in the Internet community by producing this document.
As such, the current network management framework for TCP/IP- based
internets consists of: Structure and Identification of Management
Information for TCP/IP-based internets, RFC 1155 [12], which
describes how managed objects contained in the MIB are defined;
Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based
internets: MIB-II, this memo, which describes the managed objects
contained in the MIB (and supercedes RFC 1156 [13]); and, the Simple
Network Management Protocol, RFC 1098 [5], which defines the protocol
used to manage these objects.
3. Changes from RFC 1156
Features of this MIB include:
(1) incremental additions to reflect new operational
requirements;
(2) upwards compatibility with the SMI/MIB and the SNMP;
(3) improved support for multi-protocol entities; and,
(4) textual clean-up of the MIB to improve clarity and
readability.
The objects defined in MIB-II have the OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix:
mib-2 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mgmt 1 }
which is identical to the prefix used in MIB-I.
3.1. Deprecated Objects
In order to better prepare implementors for future changes in the
MIB, a new term "deprecated" may be used when describing an object.
A deprecated object in the MIB is one which must be supported, but
one which will most likely be removed from the next version of the
MIB (e.g., MIB-III).
MIB-II marks one object as being deprecated:
atTable
SNMP Working Group [Page 3]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
As a result of deprecating the atTable object, the entire Address
Translation group is deprecated.
Note that no functionality is lost with the deprecation of these
objects: new objects providing equivalent or superior functionality
are defined in MIB-II.
3.2. Display Strings
In the past, there have been misinterpretations of the MIB as to when
a string of octets should contain printable characters, meant to be
displayed to a human. As a textual convention in the MIB, the
datatype
DisplayString ::=
OCTET STRING
is introduced. A DisplayString is restricted to the NVT ASCII
character set, as defined in pages 10-11 of [6].
The following objects are now defined in terms of DisplayString:
sysDescr
ifDescr
It should be noted that this change has no effect on either the
syntax nor semantics of these objects. The use of the DisplayString
notation is merely an artifact of the explanatory method used in
MIB-II and future MIBs.
Further it should be noted that any object defined in terms of OCTET
STRING may contain arbitrary binary data, in which each octet may
take any value from 0 to 255 (decimal).
3.3. Physical Addresses
As a further, textual convention in the MIB, the datatype
PhysAddress ::=
OCTET STRING
is introduced to represent media- or physical-level addresses.
The following objects are now defined in terms of PhysAddress:
ifPhysAddress
atPhysAddress
ipNetToMediaPhysAddress
SNMP Working Group [Page 4]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
It should be noted that this change has no effect on either the
syntax nor semantics of these objects. The use of the PhysAddress
notation is merely an artifact of the explanatory method used in
MIB-II and future MIBs.
3.4. The System Group
Four new objects are added to this group:
sysContact
sysName
sysLocation
sysServices
These provide contact, administrative, location, and service
information regarding the managed node.
3.5. The Interfaces Group
The definition of the ifNumber object was incorrect, as it required
all interfaces to support IP. (For example, devices without IP, such
as MAC-layer bridges, could not be managed if this definition was
strictly followed.) The description of the ifNumber object is
changed accordingly.
The ifTable object was mistaken marked as read-write, it has been
(correctly) re-designated as not-accessible. In addition, several
new values have been added to the ifType column in the ifTable
object:
ppp(23)
softwareLoopback(24)
eon(25)
ethernet-3Mbit(26)
nsip(27)
slip(28)
ultra(29)
ds3(30)
sip(31)
frame-relay(32)
Finally, a new column has been added to the ifTable object:
ifSpecific
which provides information about information specific to the media
being used to realize the interface.
SNMP Working Group [Page 5]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
3.6. The Address Translation Group
In MIB-I this group contained a table which permitted mappings from
network addresses (e.g., IP addresses) to physical addresses (e.g.,
MAC addresses). Experience has shown that efficient implementations
of this table make two assumptions: a single network protocol
environment, and mappings occur only from network address to physical
address.
The need to support multi-protocol nodes (e.g., those with both the
IP and CLNP active), and the need to support the inverse mapping
(e.g., for ES-IS), have invalidated both of these assumptions. As
such, the atTable object is declared deprecated.
In order to meet both the multi-protocol and inverse mapping
requirements, MIB-II and its successors will allocate up to two
address translation tables inside each network protocol group. That
is, the IP group will contain one address translation table, for
going from IP addresses to physical addresses. Similarly, when a
document defining MIB objects for the CLNP is produced (e.g., [7]),
it will contain two tables, for mappings in both directions, as this
is required for full functionality.
It should be noted that the choice of two tables (one for each
direction of mapping) provides for ease of implementation in many
cases, and does not introduce undue burden on implementations which
realize the address translation abstraction through a single internal
table.
3.7. The IP Group
The access attribute of the variable ipForwarding has been changed
from read-only to read-write.
In addition, there is a new column to the ipAddrTable object,
ipAdEntReasmMaxSize
which keeps track of the largest IP datagram that can be re-assembled
on a particular interface.
The descriptor of the ipRoutingTable object has been changed to
ipRouteTable for consistency with the other IP routing objects.
There are also three new columns in the ipRouteTable object,
ipRouteMask
ipRouteMetric5
ipRouteInfo
SNMP Working Group [Page 6]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
the first is used for IP routing subsystems that support arbitrary
subnet masks, and the latter two are IP routing protocol-specific.
Two new objects are added to the IP group:
ipNetToMediaTable
ipRoutingDiscards
the first is the address translation table for the IP group
(providing identical functionality to the now deprecated atTable in
the address translation group), and the latter provides information
when routes are lost due to a lack of buffer space.
3.8. The ICMP Group
There are no changes to this group.
3.9. The TCP Group
Two new variables are added:
tcpInErrs
tcpOutRsts
which keep track of the number of incoming TCP segments in error and
the number of resets generated by a TCP.
3.10. The UDP Group
A new table:
udpTable
is added.
3.11. The EGP Group
Experience has indicated a need for additional objects that are
useful in EGP monitoring. In addition to making several additions to
the egpNeighborTable object, i.e.,
egpNeighAs
egpNeighInMsgs
egpNeighInErrs
egpNeighOutMsgs
egpNeighOutErrs
egpNeighInErrMsgs
egpNeighOutErrMsgs
SNMP Working Group [Page 7]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
egpNeighStateUps
egpNeighStateDowns
egpNeighIntervalHello
egpNeighIntervalPoll
egpNeighMode
egpNeighEventTrigger
a new variable is added:
egpAs
which gives the autonomous system associated with this EGP entity.
3.12. The Transmission Group
MIB-I was lacking in that it did not distinguish between different
types of transmission media. A new group, the Transmission group, is
allocated for this purpose:
transmission OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 10 }
When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media
are defined, the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for
the names of those objects.
Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the
MIB until they are "proven", then as a part of the Internet
standardization process, the definitions are accordingly elevated and
a new object identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By
convention, the name assigned is:
type OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission number }
where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType
column of the ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer
value corresponding to the symbol.
3.13. The SNMP Group
The application-oriented working groups of the IETF have been tasked
to be receptive towards defining MIB variables specific to their
respective applications.
For the SNMP, it is useful to have statistical information. A new
group, the SNMP group, is allocated for this purpose:
snmp OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 11 }
SNMP Working Group [Page 8]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
3.14. Changes from RFC 1158
Features of this MIB include:
(1) The managed objects in this document have been defined
using the conventions defined in the Internet-standard
SMI, as amended by the extensions specified in [14]. It
must be emphasized that definitions made using these
extensions are semantically identically to those in RFC
1158.
(2) The PhysAddress textual convention has been introduced to
represent media addresses.
(3) The ACCESS clause of sysLocation is now read-write.
(4) The definition of sysServices has been clarified.
(5) New ifType values (29-32) have been defined. In
addition, the textual-descriptor for the DS1 and E1
interface types has been corrected.
(6) The definition of ipForwarding has been clarified.
(7) The definition of ipRouteType has been clarified.
(8) The ipRouteMetric5 and ipRouteInfo objects have been
defined.
(9) The ACCESS clause of tcpConnState is now read-write, to
support deletion of the TCB associated with a TCP
connection. The definition of this object has been
clarified to explain this usage.
(10) The definition of egpNeighEventTrigger has been
clarified.
(11) The definition of several of the variables in the new
snmp group have been clarified. In addition, the
snmpInBadTypes and snmpOutReadOnlys objects are no longer
present. (However, the object identifiers associated
with those objects are reserved to prevent future use.)
(12) The definition of snmpInReadOnlys has been clarified.
(13) The textual descriptor of the snmpEnableAuthTraps has
been changed to snmpEnableAuthenTraps, and the definition
has been clarified.
SNMP Working Group [Page 9]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
(14) The ipRoutingDiscards object was added.
(15) The optional use of an implementation-dependent, small
positive integer was disallowed when identifying
instances of the IP address and routing tables.
4. Objects
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) [8]
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax,
and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an
administratively assigned name, which specifies an 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 OBJECT
DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.
The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for
this purpose. However, the SMI [12] purposely restricts the ASN.1
constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made
for simplicity.
The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is
represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the
notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type
is represented when being transmitted on the network.
The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [9],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.
4.1. Format of Definitions
Section 6 contains contains the specification of all object types
contained in this MIB module. The object types are defined using the
conventions defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions
specified in [14].
5. Overview
Consistent with the IAB directive to produce simple, workable systems
in the short-term, the list of managed objects defined here, has been
derived by taking only those elements which are considered essential.
This approach of taking only the essential objects is NOT
restrictive, since the SMI defined in the companion memo provides
SNMP Working Group [Page 10]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
three extensibility mechanisms: one, the addition of new standard
objects through the definitions of new versions of the MIB; two, the
addition of widely-available but non-standard objects through the
experimental subtree; and three, the addition of private objects
through the enterprises subtree. Such additional objects can not
only be used for vendor-specific elements, but also for
experimentation as required to further the knowledge of which other
objects are essential.
The design of MIB-II is heavily influenced by the first extensibility
mechanism. Several new variables have been added based on
operational experience and need. Based on this, the criteria for
including an object in MIB-II are remarkably similar to the MIB-I
criteria:
(1) An object needed to be essential for either fault or
configuration management.
(2) Only weak control objects were permitted (by weak, it is
meant that tampering with them can do only limited
damage). This criterion reflects the fact that the
current management protocols are not sufficiently secure
to do more powerful control operations.
(3) Evidence of current use and utility was required.
(4) In MIB-I, an attempt was made to limit the number of
objects to about 100 to make it easier for vendors to
fully instrument their software. In MIB-II, this limit
was raised given the wide technological base now
implementing MIB-I.
(5) To avoid redundant variables, it was required that no
object be included that can be derived from others in the
MIB.
(6) Implementation specific objects (e.g., for BSD UNIX) were
excluded.
(7) It was agreed to avoid heavily instrumenting critical
sections of code. The general guideline was one counter
per critical section per layer.
MIB-II, like its predecessor, the Internet-standard MIB, contains
only essential elements. There is no need to allow individual
objects to be optional. Rather, the objects are arranged into the
following groups:
SNMP Working Group [Page 11]
RFC 1213 MIB-II March 1991
- System
- Interfaces
- Address Translation (deprecated)
- IP
- ICMP
- TCP
- UDP
- EGP
- Transmission
- SNMP
These groups are the basic unit of conformance: This method is as
follows: if the semantics of a group is applicable to an
implementation, then it must implement all objects in that group.
For example, an implementation must implement the EGP group if and
only if it implements the EGP.
There are two reasons for defining these groups: to provide a means
of assigning object identifiers; and, to provide a method for
implementations of managed agents to know which objects they must
implement.

example, a node which performs primarily routing
functions would have a value of 4 (2^(3-1)). In
contrast, a node which is a host offering
application services would have a value of 72
(2^(4-1) + 2^(7-1)). Note that in the context of
the Internet suite of protocols, values should be
calculated accordingly:

Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has
the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry
in the ipNetToMediaTable. That is, it effectively
dissasociates the interface identified with said
entry from the mapping identified with said entry.
It is an implementation-specific matter as to
whether the agent removes an invalidated entry
from the table. Accordingly, management stations
must be prepared to receive tabular information
from agents that corresponds to entries not
currently in use. Proper interpretation of such
entries requires examination of the relevant
ipNetToMediaType object."

"Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is
permitted to generate authentication-failure
traps. The value of this object overrides any
configuration information; as such, it provides a
means whereby all authentication-failure traps may

object be stored in non-volatile memory so that it
remains constant between re-initializations of the
network management system."
