Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
   In particular, it describes a representation of the SNMP parties
   defined in [8] as objects defined according to the Internet Standard
   SMI [1]. These definitions are consistent with the SNMP Security
   protocols set forth in [9].
