1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC 3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC 2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC 2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC 2580].

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].

2.  Overview

   This document describes an SNMP MIB module for managing VDSL Lines.
   These definitions are based upon the specifications for VDSL as
   defined in T1E1, ETSI, and ITU documentation [T1E1311, T1E1011,
   T1E1013, ETSI2701, ETSI2702, ITU9931, ITU9971].

   The MIB module is located in the MIB tree under MIB 2 transmission,
   as discussed in the MIB-2 Integration (RFC 2863 [RFC 2863]) section of
   this document.

2.1.   Relationship of the VDSL Line MIB Module to other MIB Modules

   This section outlines the relationship of this MIB with other MIBs
   described in RFCs.  Specifically, IF-MIB as presented in RFC 2863
   [RFC 2863] is discussed.

2.1.1.   General IF-MIB Integration (RFC 2863)

   The VDSL Line MIB specifies the detailed attributes of a data
   interface.  As such, it needs to integrate with RFC 2863 [RFC 2863].
   The IANA has assigned the following ifType to VDSL:
