1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC 2571].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, 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].
o 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].
o 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].
