Status of this Memo

   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

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].

RFC 2465                IPv6 MIB: General Group            December 1998


   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.

                 permits the additional value of zero.  The value
                 zero is object-specific and must therefore be

                 which uses this syntax.  Examples of the usage of
                 zero might include situations where interface was

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.
