Transport Subsystem for the Simple Network Management Protocol
RFC 5590, “Transport Subsystem for the Simple Network Management Protocol”, is an Internet Standard document published in June 2009 by D. Harrington, J. Schoenwaelder. It updates RFC 3411, RFC 3412, RFC 3414, RFC 3417. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a Transport Subsystem, extending the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) architecture defined in RFC 3411. This document defines a subsystem to contain Transport Models that is comparable to other subsystems in the RFC 3411 architecture. As work is being done to expand the transports to include secure transports, such as the Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol and Transport Layer Security (TLS), using a subsystem will enable consistent design and modularity of such Transport Models. This document identifies and describes some key aspects that need to be considered for any Transport Model for SNMP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
