1.  The SNMP Network Management Framework

   The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
   components:

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

    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 [RFC 1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC 1212] and RFC
        1215 [RFC 1215].  The second version, called SMIv2, is described
        in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC 2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC 2579] and
        STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC 2580].

    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 [RFC 1157]. A second version of the
        SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
        protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC 1901]
        and RFC 1906 [RFC 1906]. The third version of the message
        protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC 1906],
        RFC 2572 [RFC 2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC 2574].

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