Definitions of Managed Objects
for the Border Gateway Protocol (Version 3)
Status of this Memo
This memo is an extension to the SNMP MIB. This RFC specifies an IAB
standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests
discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the
current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
1. 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 the Border Gateway
Protocol [11,12].
2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC 1212
defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly
consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
the Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213, defines MIB-II, an
evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
operational requirements.
RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
