Abstract
This specification defines an extension to the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management. In
particular, it defines objects for configuring, monitoring, and
controlling Data Link Switches (DLSw) [1].
This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant
to the SNMPv2 SMI [2], and semantically identical to the SNMPv1
definitions [3].
