1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling Generalized
Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) [RFC3945] based traffic
engineering (TE). The tables and objects defined in this document
extend those defined in the equivalent document for MPLS traffic
engineering [RFC3812], and management of GMPLS traffic engineering is
built on management of MPLS traffic engineering.
The MIB modules in this document should be used in conjunction with
the companion document [RFC4803] for GMPLS-based traffic engineering
configuration and management.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119].
MPLS-TE Label Switched paths (LSPs) may be modeled and managed using
the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB module [RFC3812].
Label Switching Routers (LSRs) may be migrated to model and manage
their TE LSPs using the MIB modules in this document in order to
migrate the LSRs to GMPLS support, or to take advantage of additional
MIB objects defined in these MIB modules that are applicable to
MPLS-TE.
The GMPLS TE MIB module (GMPLS-TE-STD-MIB) defined in this document
extends the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB module [RFC3812] through a series of
augmentations and sparse augmentations of the MIB tables. The only
additions are for support of GMPLS or to support the increased
complexity of MPLS and GMPLS systems.
In order to migrate from MPLS-TE-STD-MIB support to GMPLS-TE-STD-MIB
support, an implementation needs only to add support for the
additional tables and objects defined in GMPLS-TE-STD-MIB. The
gmplsTunnelLSPEncoding may be set to tunnelLspNotGmpls to allow an
MPLS-TE LSP tunnel to benefit from the additional objects and tables
of GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB without supporting the GMPLS protocols.
The companion document for modeling and managing GMPLS-based LSRs
[RFC4803] extends the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module [RFC3813] with the same
intentions.
Textual conventions are defined in [RFC3811] and the IANA-GMPLS-TC-
MIB module.
