Translation of Structure of Management Information Version 2 MIB Modules to YANG Modules

Overview

RFC 6643, “Translation of Structure of Management Information Version 2 MIB Modules to YANG Modules”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2012 by J. Schoenwaelder. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications. The Structure of Management Information (SMIv2) defines fundamental data types, an object model, and the rules for writing and revising MIB modules for use with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This document defines a translation of SMIv2 MIB modules into YANG modules, enabling read-only (config false) access to data objects defined in SMIv2 MIB modules via NETCONF. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
