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 describes managed objects for the General Switch
Management Protocol (GSMP).
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 [RFC 2119].
2. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
* An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC 2571].
* 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 is 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], RFC 2579 [RFC 2579], and RFC
2580[RFC 2580].
* Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and is
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 is described in RFC 1901 [RFC 1901]
and RFC 1906 [RFC 1906]. The third version of the message protocol
is called SNMPv3 and is 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 are
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC 1157]. A second set of
operations and associated PDU formats are described in 1905
[RFC 1905].
