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 MAC bridges based on
the IEEE 802.1D-1990 standard between Local Area Network (LAN)
segments. Provisions are made for support of transparent bridging.
Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges
connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.
