Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   This memo obsoletes RFC 1514, the "Host Resources MIB". This memo
   extends that specification by clarifying changes based on
   implementation and deployment experience and documenting the Host
   Resources MIB in SMIv2 format while remaining semantically identical
   to the existing SMIv1-based MIB.

   This memo defines a MIB for use with managing host systems.  The term
   "host" is construed to mean any computer that communicates with other
   similar computers attached to the internet and that is directly used
   by one or more human beings. Although this MIB does not necessarily
   apply to devices whose primary function is communications services
   (e.g., terminal servers, routers, bridges, monitoring equipment),
   such relevance is not explicitly precluded.  This MIB instruments
   attributes common to all internet hosts including, for example, both
   personal computers and systems that run variants of Unix.
