FDDI Management Information Base
Status of this Memo
This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status
of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
In particular, it defines objects for managing devices which
implement the FDDI based on the ANSI FDDI SMT 7.3 draft standard [8],
which has been forwarded for publication by the X3T9.5 committee.

RFC 1512 FDDI MIB September 1993
1. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
o STD 16, RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management. STD 16, RFC 1212 defines a more concise description
mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
for the Internet suite of protocols.
o STD 15, RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
1.1. 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.
1.2. Format of Definitions
Section 4 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 [7].
2. Overview
This document defines the managed objects for FDDI devices which are
to be accessible via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
At present, this applies to these values of the ifType variable in
the Internet-standard MIB:
fddi(15)
For these interfaces, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the
