Sivakumar Cisco Systems T. Taylor PT Taylor Consulting October 2015 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. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.

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 Perreault, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 7658 Deprecation of NAT-MIB v1 October 2015 deprecated. Section 5 describes security considerations relating to NAT-MIB, basically relying on the security considerations in [RFC4008] and [RFC7659].
