IPv6 Maintenance
In 2005, the IPv6 MIB update group published
updated versions of the IP-MIB, UDP-MIB,
TCP-MIB and IP-FORWARD-MIB modules,
which use the InetAddressType/InetAddress
construct to handle IPv4 and IPv6 in the same table.
This document contains versions of the obsoleted
IPV6-MIB, IPV6-TC, IPV6-ICMP-MIB, IPV6-TCP-MIB
and IPV6-UDP-MIB modules, for the purpose of updating
MIB module repositories.
In 2005, the IPv6 MIB update group published
updated versions of the IP-MIB , UDP-MIB ,
TCP-MIB and IP-FORWARD-MIB modules,
which use the InetAddressType/InetAddress
construct to handle IPv4 and IPv6 in the same table.
These documents were marked in the RFC Index as
obsoleting the corresponding IPV6-MIBs, but the
extracted content of these MIBs never changed in
MIB repositories, and the original RFCs (as is normal
IETF policy) never changed from being Proposed Standard.
This causes an unclear situation when simply looking at
MIB repositories, so we are simply republishing these
MIB modules with the SMI syntax changed to obsolete.
This document reclassifies
,
,
,
and
to Historic.
This document contains only obsolete objects, which
says “should not be implemented and/or can be removed if previously
implemented”. Since the contents of this document should not be
implemented, it has no security implications. If there
were any security implications based on these objects in an
implementation, removing these objects as suggests
would improve the security of that implementation.
In
smi-numbers,
the entries for RFC2452 and RFC2454, in the “SMI Experimental Codes” section,
have an annotation “(Historic)” or “(Historical)”.
IANA is asked to make the following changes to the “SMI Network Management MGMT Codes Internet-standard MIB”
section:
Remove RFC1213 from the references for mib-2.5 “icmp”.
Update the reference for mib-2.6 “tcp” to point to RFC4022.
Remove RFC1213 from the references for mib-2.7 “udp”.
Remove RFC2012 from the references for mib-2.49 “tcpMIB”.
Add the “(Historic)” annotation for the entries for mib-2.55 “ipv6MIB” and for
mib-2.56 “ipv6IcmpMIB”, and update the reference to point to this document.
IANA is asked to make the following changes to the “SMI Experimental Codes” section:
Add the “(Historic)” annotation for experimental.74 “IPV6 MIB”
Change the “(Historical)” annotation for experimental.87 “ipv6UdpMIB” to “(Historic)”
Update the reference for experimental.86 “ipv6TcpMIB” and
experimental.87 “ipv6UdpMIB” to point to this document.
Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)
It is the purpose of this document, the Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2), to define that adapted subset, and to assign a set of associated administrative values. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)
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 used for implementations of the Internet Protocol (IP) in an IP version independent manner. This memo obsoletes RFCs 2011, 2465, and 2466. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Management Information Base for the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
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 used for implementations of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in an IP version independent manner. This memo obsoletes RFCs 2013 and 2454. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
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 used for implementations of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in an IP version independent manner. This memo obsoletes RFCs 2452 and 2012. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
IP Forwarding Table MIB
This document 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 related to the forwarding of Internet Protocol (IP) packets in an IP version-independent manner. This document obsoletes RFC 2096. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
IP Version 6 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol
This document is one in the series of documents that define various MIB objects for IPv6. Specifically, this document is the MIB module which defines managed objects for implementations of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over IP Version 6 (IPv6). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
IP Version 6 Management Information Base for the User Datagram Protocol
This document is one in the series of documents that define various MIB objects for IPv6. Specifically, this document is the MIB module which defines managed objects for implementations of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IP Version 6 (IPv6). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Management Information Base for IP Version 6: Textual Conventions and General Group
This document is one in the series of documents that provide MIB definitions for for IP Version 6. Specifically, the IPv6 MIB textual conventions as well as the IPv6 MIB General group is defined in this document. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Management Information Base for IP Version 6: ICMPv6 Group
This document is one in the series of documents that define various MIB object groups for IPv6. Specifically, the ICMPv6 group is defined in this document. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
Thanks to an excellent review by Mike Heard.
Correct the REVISION clause for the original IPV6-MIB
Remove the illegal sub-typing from SEQUENCE definitions in
IPV6-MIB, IPV6-UDP-MIB and IPV6-TCP-MIB.
Realized that IPV6-ICMP-MIB was , so modified the added
REVISION clause and the Reclassification section.
Added Security Considerations
Added IANA Considerations
Added the 6.c.iii Legend to the copyright statement, since the original
RFCs were published before pre-5378.
Used “MIB module” instead of “MIB” when referring to a module, and
changed REVISION DESCRIPTION to “Obsoleting”, not “Deprecating”.
Added “Obsoletes:” header to document
Switched to pre-5378 IPR statement, since the original RFCs were
pre-5378.
Updated the DESCRIPTION of MODULE-IDENTITY to improve the “MIB index”
problem.
Updated IANA considerations.
Fixed “IPV6-MIB” in title
Fixed some extra blank lines in the source MIBs, introduced by the
process of extraction from RFCs.
