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 defines objects for monitoring and controlling
   network devices with APPN (Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network) EBN
   (Extended Border Node) capabilities.  This memo identifies managed
   objects for the EBN architecture.

1.0 Introduction

   This document is a product of the SNA NAU Services MIB Working Group.
   It defines a MIB module for managing devices with Advanced Peer-to-
   Peer Networking (APPN) Extended Border Node (EBN) capabilities.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119, reference
   [13].

2.0 The SNMP Network Management Framework

   The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of six major
   components.  They are:

   o   the overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [7].

   o   the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [3], - the mechanisms used for
       describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

   o   the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [2], - the core set of managed
       objects for the Internet suite of protocols.

   o   the protocol, STD 15, RFC 1157 [1] and/or RFC 1905 [6] and/or RFC
       2272 [8] -- the protocol for accessing managed information.

   o   the user-based security model defined in RFC 2274 [10].

   o   the view-based access control model defined in RFC 2275 [11].

   Textual conventions are defined in RFC 1903 [4], and conformance
   statements are defined in RFC 1904 [5].  Common applications are
   defined in RFC 2273 [9].

   The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
   experimentation and evaluation.

   This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.  A
   MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
   translation.
