Abstract This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) interfaces. This document is a companion to the documents that define Managed Objects for the DS1/E1/DS2/E2 and DS3/E3 Interface Types [24][25]. Textual Conventions used in this MIB are defined in [6] and [36]. This memo replaces RFC 1595 [30]. Changes relative to RFC 1595 are summarized in the MIB module's REVISION clause.
