Definitions of Managed Objects
for Parallel-printer-like Hardware Devices
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB
Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status
of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
1. Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets.
In particular, it defines objects for the management of
parallel-printer-like devices.
2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists
of three components. They are:
RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which
is wholly consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213,
defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on
implementation experience and new operational requirements.
RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the
purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
3. Objects
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information
store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB.
