1. Introduction
This memo defines an extension to the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet
community. In particular, it defines objects for the management of
RS-232-like devices.
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1442 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
Stewart [Page 1]
RFC 1659 RS-232-like MIB July 1994
o RFC 1445 [3] which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 [4] which defines the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named
by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to
refer to the object type.
3. Overview
The RS-232-like Hardware Device MIB applies to interface ports that
might logically support the Interface MIB, a Transmission MIB, or the
Character MIB. The most common example is an RS-232 port with modem
signals.
The RS-232-like Hardware Device MIB is mandatory for all systems that
have such a hardware port supporting services managed through some
other MIB.
The MIB includes multiple similar types of hardware, and as a result
contains objects not applicable to all of those types. The
compliance definitions herein thus have a general group for all
implementations, and separate groups for the different types of
ports, such as asynchronous and synchronous.
The RS-232-like Hardware Port MIB includes RS-232, RS-422, RS-423,
V.35, and other asynchronous or synchronous, serial physical links
with a similar set of control signals.
The MIB contains objects that relate to physical layer connections.
Such connections may provide interesting hardware signals (other than
for basic data transfer), such as RNG and DCD. Hardware ports also
have such attributes as speed and bits per character.
Stewart [Page 2]
RFC 1659 RS-232-like MIB July 1994
The MIB comprises one base object and four tables, detailed in the
following sections. The tables contain objects for all ports,
asynchronous ports, and input and output control signals.
3.1. Relationship to Interface MIB
The RS-232-like MIB is one of many MIBs designed for layered use as
described in the Interface MIB [5]. In most implementations where it
is present, it will be in the lowest interface sublayer, that is, the
RS-232-like MIB represents the physical layer, providing service to
higher layers such as the Character MIB [6] or PPP MIB [7].
The Interface MIB's ifTestTable and ifRcvAddressTable are not
relevant to the RS-232-like MIB.
The RS-232-like MIB is relevant for ifType values rs232(33), v35(45),
and perhaps others.
The RS-232-like MIB requires the conformance groups ifGeneralGroup,
and ifFixedLengthGroup.
The value of ifSpeed is the same as rs232PortOutSpeed.
Usefulness of error counters in this MIB depends on the octet
counters in ifFixedLengthGroup.
