MIB Textual Conventions for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
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 MIB module defines textual conventions to represent STD 66
Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). The intent is that these
textual conventions will be imported and used in MIB modules that
would otherwise define their own representation(s).

1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
It defines textual conventions to represent STD 66 [RFC3986] URIs,
which are further described by [RFC3305].
Three textual conventions are defined: one of unrestricted length,
and two of different restricted lengths. Which length is appropriate
will depend on tradeoffs made in particular MIB modules. The purpose
of providing standard restricted-length textual conventions is to
improve compatibility between MIB modules that require restricted-
length URIs.
McWalter Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 5017 URI TC MIB September 2007
If a URI needs to be used as an index object, then the 'Uri' TEXTUAL-
CONVENTION SHOULD be subtyped to a length appropriate for the Object
Identifier (OID) of which it is part. The description of the 'Uri'
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION discusses this case.
2. Terminology
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 [RFC2119].
3. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
