Abstract

   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 for extending the Entity
   MIB (RFC 2737) to provide generalized access to information related
   to physical sensors, which are often found in networking equipment
   (such as chassis temperature, fan RPM, power supply voltage).
