         Definitions of Managed Objects for Data Link Switching
                              using SMIv2

Status of this Memo

   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

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].
