Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
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 used for managing the
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower [1, 2].
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management.
STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
forthe Internet suite of protocols.
RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other architectural
aspects of the framework.
RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
