Abstract

 This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
 for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets.
 In particular it defines objects for managing MAC bridges based on
 the IEEE 802.1D-1990 standard between Local Area Network (LAN)
 segments.  Provisions are made for support of transparent bridging.
 Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges
 connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.

1. The Network Management Framework

 The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
 components.  They are:
    STD16/RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
    describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
    STD16/RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which
    is wholly consistent with the SMI.
    RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
    the Internet suite of protocols.  STD17/RFC 1213, defines MIB-II,
    an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
    operational requirements.
    STD15/RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, 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. Objects

 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) [7]
 defined in the SMI.  In particular, each object is named by an OBJECT
 IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an
 object type.  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 also refer to the object type.

Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 2] RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993

2.1. Format of Definitions

 Section 5 contains the specification of all object types contained in
 this MIB module.  The object types are defined using the conventions
 defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions specified in [9,10].

3. Overview

 A common device present in many networks is the Bridge.  This device
 is used to connect Local Area Network segments below the network
 layer.
 There are two major modes defined for this bridging; transparent and
 source route.  The transparent method of bridging is defined in the
 draft IEEE 802.1d specification [11].  This memo defines those
 objects needed for the management of a bridging entity operating in
 the transparent mode, as well as some objects applicable to all types
 of bridges.
 To be consistent with IAB directives and good engineering practice,
 an explicit attempt was made to keep this MIB as simple as possible.
 This was accomplished by applying the following criteria to objects
 proposed for inclusion:
        (1)  Start with a small set of essential objects and add only
             as further objects are needed.
        (2)  Require objects be essential for either fault or
             configuration management.
        (3)  Consider evidence of current use and/or utility.
        (4)  Limit the total of objects.
        (5)  Exclude objects which are simply derivable from others in
             this or other MIBs.
        (6)  Avoid causing critical sections to be heavily
             instrumented.  The guideline that was followed is one
             counter per critical section per layer.

3.1. Structure of MIB

 Objects in this MIB are arranged into groups.  Each group is
 organized as a set of related objects.  The overall structure and
 assignment of objects to their groups is shown below.  Where
 appropriate the corresponding IEEE 802.1d [11] management object name
 is also included.

Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 5] RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993

3.1.1. The dot1dBase Group

 This mandatory group contains the objects which are applicable to all
 types of bridges.

3.1.2. The dot1dStp Group

 This group contains the objects that denote the bridge's state with
 respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol.  If a node does not
 implemented the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be
 implemented.

3.1.3. The dot1dSr Group

 This group contains the objects that describe the entity's state with
 respect to source route bridging.  If source routing is not supported
 this group will not be implemented.  This group is applicable to
 source route only, and SRT bridges.  This group will be described in
 a separate document applicable only to source route bridging.

3.1.4. The dot1dTp Group

 This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with
 respect to transparent bridging.  If transparent bridging is not
 supported this group will not be implemented.  This group is
 applicable to transparent only and SRT bridges.

3.1.5. The dot1dStatic Group

 This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with
 respect to destination-address filtering.  If destination-address
 filtering is not supported this group will not be implemented.  This
 group is applicable to any type of bridge which performs
 destination-address filtering.

3.2. Relationship to Other MIBs

 As described above, some IEEE 802.1d management objects have not been
 included in this MIB because they overlap with objects in other MIBs
 applicable to a bridge implementing this MIB.  In particular, it is
 assumed that a bridge implementing this MIB will also implement (at
 least) the 'system' group and the 'interfaces' group defined in MIB-
 II [6].

3.2.1. Relationship to the 'system' group

 In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory for all
 systems such that each managed entity contains one instance of each

Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 6] RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993

 object in the 'system' group.  Thus, those objects apply to the
 entity as a whole irrespective of whether the entity's sole
 functionality is bridging, or whether bridging is only a subset of
 the entity's functionality.

3.2.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group

 In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for
 all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where
 each interface is thought of as being attached to a `subnetwork'.
 (Note that this term is not to be confused with `subnet' which refers
 to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of
 protocols.) The term 'segment' is used in this memo to refer to such
 a subnetwork, whether it be an Ethernet segment, a 'ring', a WAN
 link, or even an X.25 virtual circuit.
 Implicit in this Bridge MIB is the notion of ports on a bridge.  Each
 of these ports is associated with one interface of the 'interfaces'
 group, and in most situations, each port is associated with a
 different interface. However, there are situations in which multiple
 ports are associated with the same interface.  An example of such a
 situation would be several ports each corresponding one-to-one with
 several X.25 virtual circuits but all on the same interface.
 Each port is uniquely identified by a port number.  A port number has
 no mandatory relationship to an interface number, but in the simple
 case a port number will have the same value as the corresponding
 interface's interface number.  Port numbers are in the range
 (1..dot1dBaseNumPorts).
 Some entities perform other functionality as well as bridging through
 the sending and receiving of data on their interfaces.  In such
 situations, only a subset of the data sent/received on an interface
 is within the domain of the entity's bridging functionality.  This
 subset is considered to be delineated according to a set of
 protocols, with some protocols being bridged, and other protocols not
 being bridged. For example, in an entity which exclusively performed
 bridging, all protocols would be considered as being bridged, whereas
 in an entity which performed IP routing on IP datagrams and only
 bridged other protocols, only the non-IP data would be considered as
 being bridged.
 Thus, this Bridge MIB (and in particular, its counters) are
 applicable only to that subset of the data on an entity's interfaces
 which is sent/received for a protocol being bridged.  All such data
 is sent/received via the ports of the bridge.

Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 7] RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993

3.3. Textual Conventions

 The datatypes, MacAddress, BridgeId and Timeout, are used as textual
 conventions in this document.  These textual conventions have NO
 effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed object.
 Objects defined using these conventions are always encoded by means
 of the rules that define their primitive type.  Hence, no changes to
 the SMI or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual
 conventions which are adopted merely for the convenience of readers.

4. Changes from RFC 1286

        (1)  Updated all text to remove references to source route
             bridging where not applicable.  SR MIB will be a separate
             document.
        (2)  Removed dot1dSrPortTable.  Retained OID definition of
             dot1dSr.
        (3)  Updated all references of "draft P802.1d/D9" to "IEEE
             802.1D-1990".
        (4)  Updated bibliography.
        (5)  Added clarification to description of dot1dPortPathCost.
        (6)  Put recommended default in description of
             dot1dStaticAllowedToGoTo.
        (7)  Put recommended default in description of
             dot1dStaticStatus.
        (8)  Put recommended default in description of
             dot1dTpAgingTime.  Specified range of (10..1000000).
        (9)  Updated all port number syntaxes, when used as index, to
             use the range (1..65535).
        (10) Updated definition of dot1dTpPortInFrames and
             dot1dTpPortOutFrames.
        (11) Added text to the traps indicating that they are
             optional.
        (12) Clarified definition of dot1dStpForwardDelay.

 This document was produced on behalf of the Bridge Sub-Working Group
 of the SNMP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
 Over the course of its deliberations, the working group received four
 separate documents for consideration as the basis for its work.  The
 first was submitted by Stan Froyd of Advanced Computer
 Communications; the second by Richard Fox of SynOptics; the third by
 Eric Decker of cisco Inc. and Keith McCloghrie of Hughes LAN Systems;
 and the fourth by Paul Langille and Anil Rijsinghani of Digital
 Equipment Corp. After considering the submissions, the working group
 chose to proceed with a document formed as a conjunction of the
 latter two submissions.  This document is the result.
