Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges

Overview

RFC 4188, “Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2005 by K. Norseth, E. Bell. It obsoletes RFC 1493. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

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-1998 standard between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. Provisions are made for the support of transparent bridging. Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.

The MIB module presented in this memo is a translation of the BRIDGE-MIB defined in RFC 1493 to the SMIv2 syntax.

This memo obsoletes RFC 1493. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means
