Transport Mappings for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

RFC 3417              Transport Mappings for SNMP          December 2002


   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC 2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC 2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC 2580].

   This document, Transport Mappings for the Simple Network Management
   Protocol, defines how the management protocol [RFC 3416] may be
   carried over a variety of protocol suites.  It is the purpose of this
   document to define how the SNMP maps onto an initial set of transport
   domains.  At the time of this writing, work was in progress to define
   an IPv6 mapping, described in [RFC 3419].  Other mappings may be
   defined in the future.

   Although several mappings are defined, the mapping onto UDP over IPv4
   is the preferred mapping for systems supporting IPv4.  Systems
   implementing IPv4 MUST implement the mapping onto UDP over IPv4.  To
   maximize interoperability, systems supporting other mappings SHOULD
   also provide for access via the UDP over IPv4 mapping.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
   [RFC 2119].
