RFC 3019                      MIB for MLD                   January 2001


   RFC 1155 [RFC 1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC 1212] and RFC 1215
   [RFC 1215].  The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC 2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC 2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC 2580].

   Message protocols for transferring management information.  The first
   version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described
   in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC 1157].  A second version of the SNMP message
   protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is
   called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC 1901] and RFC 1906
   [RFC 1906].  The third version of the message protocol is called
   SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC 1906], RFC 2572 [RFC 2572] and
   RFC 2574 [RFC 2574].

   Protocol operations for accessing management information.  The first
   set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in
   STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC 1157].  A second set of protocol operations and
   associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [RFC 1905].

   A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC 2573] and
   the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
   [RFC 2575].

   A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
   can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC 2570].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
   defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.

   This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.  A
   MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
   translations.  The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
   equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
   translation is possible (use of Counter64).  Some machine-readable
   information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
   SMIv1 during the translation process.  However, this loss of
   machine-readable information is not considered to change the
   semantics of the MIB.

2. Overview

   This MIB module contains two tables:

      1. The MLD Interface Table, which contains one row for each
         interface on which MLD is enabled.
