Network Working Group J. Case Request for Comments: 1512 The University of Tennesse and Updates: 1285 SNMP Research, Incorporated A. Rijsinghani Digital Equipment Corporation September 1993 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.

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 Case & Rijsinghani [Page 2] RFC 1512 FDDI MIB September 1993 MIB-II [4] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value: fddimib OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { fddi 73 } The definitions of the objects presented here draws heavily from related work in the ANSI X3T9.5 committee and the SMT subcommittee of that committee [8]. In fact, the definitions of the managed objects in this document are, to the maximum extent possible, identical to those identified by the ANSI committee. The semantics of eachShow full document text
