Definitions of Managed Objects for SNA Data Link Control (SDLC)
using SMIv2
Status of this Memo
This document 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" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This specification defines an extension to the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management. In
particular, it defines objects for managing the configuration,
monitoring and control of data link controls in an SNA environment.
This draft identifies managed objects for SNA Synchronous Data Link
Control (SDLC) links only.

1. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1441 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 which defines 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.
2. Overview
This memo identifies the proposed set of objects for configuring,
monitoring, and controlling SDLC ports and link stations.

2.1. Tables Defined in the SNADLC SDLC MIB
The SNADLC MIB is composed of two managed entities with three tables
each. The two managed entities for SDLC are:
o Ports: the physical connection, and
o Link Stations: the logical connections on the Port.
