Abstract
This memo defines an extension of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based
internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing the
insertion of interesting Circuit Interfaces into the ifTable. This
is important for circuits that must be used within other MIB modules
which require an ifEntry. It allows for integrated monitoring of
circuits as well as routing to circuits using unaltered, pre-existing
MIB modules.
