Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Bootstrap Router 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 document 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 Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism for PIM (Protocol
Independent Multicast).

Joshi & Bijlani Standards Track [Page 1]RFC 5240 PIM BSR MIB June 20081. 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
Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism for PIM [RFC4601], [RFC5059].
This document was created by moving some of the PIM BSR-specific MIB
tables from one of the earlier versions of PIM MIB [RFC5060].
2. 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].
3. Conventions
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].
4. Overview
This MIB module contains four tables. The tables are:
1. The Candidate-RP Table, which contains one row for each multicast
group address prefix for which the local router is configured to
advertise itself as a Candidate-RP (C-RP). This table exists on
routers that are configured as Candidate-RP.
2. The Elected BSR RP-Set Table, which contains one row for each
Group-to-RP mapping that was received in C-RP advertisements.
This table exists on a router that is an elected BSR (E-BSR).
3. The Candidate-BSR Table, which contains one row for each
Candidate-BSR configuration for the local router. This table
exists on routers that are configured as Candidate-BSR.

4. The Elected-BSR Table, which contains one row for each elected
BSR. This table exists on a router that is an elected BSR.
This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the INET-ADDRESS-
MIB [RFC4001].
