RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
1. Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes a basic set of managed objects for fault,
configuration and performance management of applications from a
systems perspective. More specifically, the managed objects are
restricted to information that can be determined from the system
itself and which does not require special instrumentation within the
applications to make the information available.
This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet community.
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of the following
major components:
o RFC 1902 Structure of Management Information for Version
2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [2]
o RFC 1903 Textual Conventions for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [3]
o RFC 1904 Conformance Statements for Version 2 of the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [4]
o RFC 1905 Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [5]
o RFC 1906 Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [6]
o RFC 1907 Management Information Base for Version 2 of the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [7]
o RFC 1908 Coexistence between Version 1 and Version 2 of
the Internet-standard Network Management Framework [8]
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. 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) [1],
defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) (See RFC
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
1902 [2]). In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object type
