1.  Status of this Memo

   This memo defines a simple protocol by which management information
   for a network element may be inspected or altered by logically remote
   users.  In particular, together with its companion memos which
   describe the structure of management information along with the
   initial management information base, these documents provide a
   simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based
   internets and in particular the Internet.

   This memo specifies a draft standard for the Internet community.
   TCP/IP implementations in the Internet which are network manageable
   are expected to adopt and implement this specification.

   Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

2.  Introduction

   As reported in RFC 1052, IAB Recommendations for the Development of
   Internet Network Management Standards [1], the Internet Activities
   Board has directed the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to
   create two new working groups in the area of network management.  One
   group is charged with the further specification and definition of
   elements to be included in the Management Information Base (MIB).
   The other is charged with defining the modifications to the Simple
   Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to accommodate the short-term
   needs of the network vendor and operations communities, and to align
   with the output of the MIB working group.

   The MIB working group has produced two memos, one which defines a
   Structure for Management Information (SMI) [2] for use by the managed
   objects contained in the MIB.  A second memo [3] defines the list of
   managed objects.

   The output of the SNMP Extensions working group is this memo, which
   incorporates changes to the initial SNMP definition [4] required to
   attain alignment with the output of the MIB working group.  The
   changes should be minimal in order to be consistent with the IAB's
   directive that the working groups be "extremely sensitive to the need
   to keep the SNMP simple."  Although considerable care and debate has
   gone into the changes to the SNMP which are reflected in this memo,
