Translation of Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)
MIB Modules to YANG Modules
Abstract
YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and
state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol
(NETCONF), NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications.
The Structure of Management Information (SMIv2) defines fundamental
data types, an object model, and the rules for writing and revising
MIB modules for use with the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). This document defines a translation of SMIv2 MIB modules
into YANG modules, enabling read-only (config false) access to data
objects defined in SMIv2 MIB modules via NETCONF.
