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 objects used for managing ATM-based
interfaces, devices, networks and services.
This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant
to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the peer SNMPv1
definitions.
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
0 RFC 1442 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used
for describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management.
0 STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] defines MIB-II, the core set of
managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
0 RFC 1445 [3] which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
0 RFC 1448 [4] 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.
3. Object Definitions
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an
OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object
type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a
specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we
