RFC 1452 Coexistence between SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 April 1993
1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to describe coexistence
between version 2 of the Internet-standard Network Management
Framework, termed the SNMP version 2 framework (SNMPv2) [1],
and the original Internet-standard Network Management
Framework (SNMPv1), which consists of these three documents:
RFC 1155 [2] which defines the Structure of Management
Information (SMI), the mechanisms used for describing and
naming objects for the purpose of management.
RFC 1212 [3] which defines a more concise description
mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1157 [4] which defines the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.
