1.  The SNMP Management Framework

   The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
   components:

   o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].

   o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
     purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
     Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
     16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second
     version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [5], STD
     58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].

   o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
     first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
     described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
     message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
     protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
     1906 [10].  The third version of the message protocol is called
     SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
     [12].

   o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first
     set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described
     in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and
     associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13].
