Abstract
This memo defines extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB for
managing 802.5 Token Ring networks.
The Remote Network Monitoring MIB, RFC 1271, defines a framework for
remote monitoring functions implemented on a network probe. That MIB
defines objects broken down into nine functional groups. Some of
those functional groups, the statistics and the history groups, have
a view of the data-link layer that is specific to the media type and
require specific objects to be defined for each media type. RFC 1271
defined those specific objects necessary for Ethernet. This
companion memo defines those specific objects necessary for Token
Ring LANs.
In addition, this memo defines some additional monitoring functions
specifically for Token Ring. These are defined in the Ring Station
Group, the Ring Station Order Group, the Ring Station Configuration
Group, and the Source Routing Statistics Group.
