Remote Monitoring MIB Extensions for Interface Parameters Monitoring

RFC 3144 Remote Monitoring MIB Extensions August 2001
1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a method of sorting the interfaces of a
monitored device according to values of parameters specific to this
interface.
This memo also includes a MIB module. This MIB module extends the
list of managed objects specified in [RFC 2819] and [RFC 2613].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMEND", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].
2. 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].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573
[RFC 2573] and the view-based access control mechanism described
in RFC 2575 [RFC 2575].
