DECnet Phase IV MIB Extensions
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 1289 DECnet Phase IV MIB December 1991 implementations of these standards in commercially available products, it became possible to provide a higher level of effective network management in TCP/IP-based internets than previously available. With the growth in the use of these standards, network managers desired to use this environment as a base for providing integrated network management of multi-protocol networks. DECnet Phase IV is one widely used protocol which often coexists in IP-based internets. This memo provides the mechanisms by which IP- based management stations can effectively manage DECnet Phase IV based systems (especially router products) in an integrated fashion through the use of the standard Internet SMI, MIB and Simple Network Management Protocol. DECnet Phase IV objects have been defined to be used in conjunction with the Internet MIB to allow access and control of these new objects by the Internet community. Additional support for other DECnet-based protocols such as RBMS (remote bridge management software) or other Digital Equipment Corporation Specific Hardware platforms is not included in this document. 2. Selected Objects The objects included in this memo have been created from the DIGITAL Network Architecture Network Management Functional Specification Version 4.0.0 Dated July 1983. An attempt has been made to provide a reasonable ordering of these variables into groups. These groups are: o System Group o Network Management Group o Session Group o End Group o Routing Group o Circuit Group o DDCMP Group o DDCMP Multipoint Control Group o Ethernet Group o Counters Group DECnet Phase IV MIB Working Group
