Abstract
-
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.
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the IPv6-based internets.
This document specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the peer SNMPv1 definitions.

1. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
-
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework presently consists of three major components. They are:
o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [1] - the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. o the MIB-II, described in RFC 1213/STD 17 [3] - the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. o RFC 1157/STD 15 [4] and RFC 1905 [5] which define two versions of the protocol used for network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
1.1. 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 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.
2. Overview
-
This document is the first in the series of documents that define various MIB object groups for IPv6. These groups are the basic unit of conformance: if the semantics of a group is applicable to an implementation, then it must implement all objects in that group. For example, an implementation must implement the TCP group if and only if it implements the TCP over IPv6 protocol. At minimum, implementations must implement the IPv6 General group defined in this document as well as the ICMPv6 group [9].
This document defines the IPv6 MIB textual conventions as well as the IPv6 General group which provides for the basic management of IPv6 entities and serve as the foundation for other IPv6 MIB definitions.
The IPv6 General group consists of 6 tables:
-
- ipv6IfTable
-
The IPv6 Interfaces table contains information on the entity's IPv6 interfaces.
- ipv6IfStatsTable
-
This table contains information on the traffic statistics of the entity's IPv6 interfaces.
- ipv6AddrPrefixTable
-
The IPv6 Address Prefix table contains information on Address Prefixes that are associated with the entity's IPv6 interfaces.
- ipv6AddrTable
-
This table contains the addressing information relevant to the entity's IPv6 interfaces.
- ipv6RouteTable
-
The IPv6 routing table contains an entry for each valid IPv6 unicast route that can be used for packet forwarding determination.
- ipv6NetToMediaTable
-
The IPv6 address translation table contain the IPv6 Address to `physical' address equivalencies.
-
3. IPv6 Address Representation
-
The IPv6 MIB defined in this memo uses an OCTET STRING of length 16 to represent 128-bit IPv6 address in network byte- order. This approach allows to implement IPv6 MIB without requiring any changes to the SNMPv2 SMI and compliant SNMP implementations.

DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A unique value, greater than zero for each internetwork-layer interface in the managed system. It is recommended that values are assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each internetwork-layer interface must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's network management system to the next re-initialization." SYNTAX Integer32 (1..2147483647)-

DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "This textual convention is an extension of the Ipv6IfIndex convention. The latter defines a greater than zero value used to identify an IPv6 interface in the managed system. This extension permits the additional value of zero. The value zero is object-specific and must therefore be defined as part of the description of any object which uses this syntax. Examples of the usage of zero might include situations where interface was unknown, or when none or all interfaces need to be referenced." SYNTAX Integer32 (0..2147483647) END -

Unless the mechanism indicated by ipv6RouteProtocol specified otherwise, the policy specifier is the 8-bit Traffic Class field of the IPv6 packet header that is zero extended at the left to a 32-bit value. Protocols defining 'policy' otherwise must either define a set of values which are valid for this object or must implement an integer- instanced policy table for which this object's value acts as an index." ::= { ipv6RouteEntry 8 }-

If this information is not present, its value should be set to the OBJECT ID { 0 0 }, which is a syntactically valid object identifier, and any implementation conforming to ASN.1 and the Basic Encoding Rules must be able to generate and recognize this value." ::= { ipv6RouteEntry 13 }-
-
ipv6RouteValid OBJECT-TYPE
-
SYNTAX TruthValue MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Setting this object to the value 'false(2)' has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipv6RouteTable object. That is, it effectively disassociates the destination identified with said entry from the route identified with said entry. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table.

8. Security Considerations
-
Certain management information defined in this MIB may be considered sensitive in some network environments.
Therefore, authentication of received SNMP requests and controlled access to management information should be employed in such environments.
