The SNMP Network Management Framework The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of these components. They are: o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [2] - the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. o the Textual Conventions, described in RFC 1903 [3] for SNMPv2. o the Conformance Statements, described in RFC 1904 [4] for SNMPv2. o the Simple Network Management Protocol, described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [5]. o the Protocol Operations, described in RFC 1905 [6] for SNMPv2. o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [7] - the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols for SNMPv2. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. 1.1. Object Definitions Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object Chung & Greene Standards Track
