Deprecation of MIB Module NAT-MIB:
Managed Objects for Network Address Translators (NATs)
Abstract
This memo deprecates MIB module NAT-MIB, a portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) previously defined in RFC 4008 for devices
implementing Network Address Translator (NAT) function. A companion
document defines a new version, NATV2-MIB, which responds to
deficiencies found in module NAT-MIB and adds new capabilities.
This document obsoletes RFC 4008. All MIB objects specified in RFC
4008 are included in this version unchanged with only the STATUS
changed to deprecated.

1. Introduction
This memo deprecates a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB), MIB module NAT-MIB, for devices implementing the Network
Address Translator (NAT) function. New implementations are
encouraged to base themselves upon the second version of this MIB
module, NATV2-MIB, defined in [RFC7659]. NAT types and their
characteristics are defined in [RFC2663]. Traditional NAT function,
in particular, is defined in [RFC3022]. Neither NAT-MIB nor
NATV2-MIB addresses firewall functions, and neither can be used for
configuring or monitoring them.
Section 2 provides references to the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management framework, which was used as the basis for
the original MIB module definition and its deprecation. Section 3
provides motivation for the deprecation of module NAT-MIB and its
replacement by module NATV2-MIB. Section 4 has the complete NAT-MIB
module definition, with the STATUS of all objects changed to
