Abstract

   This RFC documents a MIB for use with CMIP, either over pure OSI
   stacks or with the CMIP over TCP specification.  It redefines objects
   comprised by the second revision of the Management Information Base
   for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II so as to
   conform to the OSI structure of management information.  This
   document is a product of the IETF OIM working group.
