Network Working Group D. McWalter Request for Comments: 5132 Data Connection Ltd Obsoletes: 2932 D. Thaler Category: Standards Track Microsoft Corporation A. Kessler Cisco Systems December 2007 IP 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 objects used for managing multicast function, independent of the specific multicast protocol(s) in use. This document obsoletes RFC 2932. Table of Contents 1.

Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 5132 IP MCAST MIB December 2007 1. Introduction This MIB describes objects used for managing IP multicast function, including IP multicast routing. These objects are independent of the specific multicast routing protocol in use. Managed objects specific to particular multicast protocols are defined elsewhere. 1.1. 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 [RFC2119]. 2. History This document obsoletes [RFC2932]. The MIB module defined by this document is a re-working of the MIB module from [RFC2932], with changes that include the following: o This MIB module includes support for IPv6 addressing and the IPv6 scoped address architecture. [RFC2932] supported only IPv4. o This MIB module allows several multicast protocols to perform routing on a single interface, where [RFC2932] assumed each interface supported at most one multicast routing protocol. Multicast routing protocols are now per-route, see ipMcastRouteProtocol. o This MIB module includes objects that are not specific to multicast routing. It allows management of multicast function on systems that do not perform routing, whereas [RFC2932] was restricted to multicast routing. o This MIB module includes a table of Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) address ranges to which SSM semantics [RFC3569] should be applied. o This MIB module includes a table of local applications that are receiving multicast data. o This MIB module includes a table of multicast scope zones. 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 [RFC3410]. McWalter, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5132 IP MCAST MIB December 2007 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).
