Status

This RFC is a re-release of RFC 1066(-> 1156^hist), with a changed "Status of this Memo", "IAB Policy Statement", and "Introduction" sections plus a few minor typographical corrections. The technical content of the document is unchanged from RFC 1066(-> 1156^hist).

This memo provides the initial version of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets in the short-term. In particular, together with its companion memos which describe the structure of management information along with the initial network management protocol, these documents provide a simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in particular the Internet.

This memo specifies a Standard Protocol for the Internet community. TCP/IP implementations in the Internet which are network manageable are expected to adopt and implement this specification.

The Internet Activities Board recommends that all IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. This implies implementation of the Internet MIB (RFC-1156^hist) and at least one of the two recommended management protocols SNMP (RFC-1157^hist) or CMOT (RFC-1095(-> 1189^hist)). It should be noted that, at this time, SNMP is a full Internet standard and CMOT is a draft standard. See also the Host and Gateway Requirements RFCs for more specific information on the applicability of this standard.

Please refer to the latest edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" RFC for current information on the state and status of standard Internet protocols.

Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
