Network Working Group R. Sivaramu Request for Comments: 5060 Cisco Systems Category: Standards Track J. Lingard Arastra, Inc D. McWalter Data Connection Ltd B. Joshi Infosys Technologies Ltd A. Kessler Cisco Systems January 2008 Protocol Independent Multicast MIB 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 memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols: PIM-SM (Sparse Mode), BIDIR-PIM (Bidirectional), and PIM-DM (Dense Mode). This document is part of work in progress to obsolete RFC 2934, and is to be preferred where the two documents overlap. This document does not obsolete RFC 2934. Table of Contents 1.

Introduction 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 managed objects used for managing the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols (PIM-SM [RFC4601], BIDIR-PIM [RFC5015], and PIM-DM [RFC3973]). This document is part of work in progress to obsolete RFC 2934 [RFC2934]. RFC 2934 defined an experimental MIB module for managing the PIM protocols. The MIB module defined by this document is a re- working of the MIB module from RFC 2934, with major changes that include the following. o This MIB module is independent of IP version, whereas RFC 2934 only supported IPv4. o This MIB module includes support for managing BIDIR-PIM. o This MIB module retains limited support for managing PIM-DM [RFC3973], but that is no longer its primary purpose. o This MIB module does not include support for managing PIM-SM v1. o This MIB module does not depend on the IPv4 Multicast Routing MIB defined in RFC 2932 [RFC2932]. o This MIB module includes support for configuring static Rendezvous Points (RPs). o This MIB module includes support for configuring anycast RPs [RFC4610]. 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). Sivaramu, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5060 PIM MIB January 2008 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,Show full document text
