1. Introduction
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it
defines objects for managing IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal
Area Networks (6LoWPANs) [RFC4944].
While a MIB module provides a direct binding for accessing data via
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [RFC3410], supporting
SNMP may not always be affordable on constrained devices. Other
protocols to access data modeled in MIB modules are possible and
proposals have been made recently to provide bindings to the
Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252].
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 document 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].
