RFC 1907 Management Information Base for SNMPv2 January 1996

1. Introduction

A management system contains: several (potentially many) nodes, each

with a processing entity, termed an agent, which has access to
management instrumentation; at least one management station; and, a
management protocol, used to convey management information between
the agents and management stations. Operations of the protocol are
carried out under an administrative framework which defines
authentication, authorization, access control, and privacy policies.

Management stations execute management applications which monitor and

control managed elements. Managed elements are devices such as
hosts, routers, terminal servers, etc., which are monitored and
controlled via access to their management information.

Management information is viewed as a collection of managed objects,

residing in a virtual information store, termed the Management
Information Base (MIB). Collections of related objects are defined
in MIB modules. These modules are written using a subset of OSI's
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [1], termed the Structure of
Management Information (SMI) [2].

The management protocol, SNMPv2 [3], provides for the exchange of

messages which convey management information between the agents and
the management stations. It is the purpose of this document to
define managed objects which describe the behavior of a SNMPv2
entity.

1.1. A Note on Terminology

For the purpose of exposition, the original Internet-standard Network

Management Framework, as described in RFCs 1155 (STD 16), 1157 (STD
15), and 1212 (STD 16), is termed the SNMP version 1 framework
(SNMPv1). The current framework is termed the SNMP version 2
framework (SNMPv2).

include the full name and version identification of the
system's hardware type, software operating-system, and
networking software."

SNMPv2 Working Group Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 1907 Management Information Base for SNMPv2 January 1996

SYNTAX OBJECT IDENTIFIER

MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The vendor's authoritative identification of the network
management subsystem contained in the entity. This value is
allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1)
and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determining
`what kind of box' is being managed. For example, if vendor
`Flintstones, Inc.' was assigned the subtree
1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier
1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its `Fred Router'."

closet, 3rd floor'). If the location is unknown, the value
is the zero-length string."
::= { system 6 }

sysServices OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (0..127)
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A value which indicates the set of services that this
entity may potentially offers. The value is a sum. This
sum initially takes the value zero, Then, for each layer, L,
in the range 1 through 7, that this node performs
transactions for, 2 raised to (L - 1) is added to the sum.
For example, a node which performs only routing functions
would have a value of 4 (2^(3-1)). In contrast, a node
which is a host offering application services would have a
value of 72 (2^(4-1) + 2^(7-1)). Note that in the context
of the Internet suite of protocols, values should be
calculated accordingly:

layer functionality
1 physical (e.g., repeaters)
2 datalink/subnetwork (e.g., bridges)
3 internet (e.g., supports the IP)
4 end-to-end (e.g., supports the TCP)
7 applications (e.g., supports the SMTP)

For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6 may also

be counted."
