Management Information Base for Network Management
of TCP/IP-based internets:
MIB-II
1. Status of this Memo
This memo defines the second version of the Management Information
Base (MIB-II) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-
based internets. In particular, together with its companion memos
which describe the structure of management information (RFC 1155)
along with the network management protocol (RFC 1157) for TCP/IP-
based internets, these documents provide a simple, workable
architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in
particular the Internet community.
This document on MIB-II incorporates all of the technical content of
RFC 1156 on MIB-I and extends it, without loss of compatibilty.
However, MIB-I as described in RFC 1156 is full Standard Protocol of
the Internet, while the MIB-II described here is Proposed Standard
Protocol of the Internet.
This memo defines a mandatory extension to the base MIB (RFC 1156)
and is a Proposed Standard for the Internet community. The
extensions described here are currently Elective, but when they
become a standard, they will have the same status as RFC 1156, that
is, Recommended. The Internet Activities Board recommends that all
IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. This implies
implementation of the Internet MIB (RFC 1156 and the extensions in
RFC 1158) and at least one of the two recommended management
protocols SNMP (RFC 1157) or CMOT (RFC 1095).
This version of the MIB specification, MIB-II, is an incremental
refinement of MIB-I. As such, it has been designed according to two
criteria: first, changes have been made in response to new
operational requirements in the Internet; and, second, the changes
are entirely upwards compatible in order to minimize impact on the
network as the managed nodes in the Internet transition from MIB-I to
MIB-II.
It is expected that additional MIB groups and variables will be
defined over time to accommodate the monitoring and control needs of
new or changing components of the Internet.

2. Introduction
As reported in RFC 1052, IAB Recommendations for the
Development of Internet Network Management Standards [1], a
two-prong strategy for network management of TCP/IP-based
internets was undertaken. In the short-term, the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was to be used to manage
nodes in the Internet community. In the long-term, the use of
the OSI network management framework was to be examined. Two
documents were produced to define the management information:
RFC 1065, which defined the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) [2], and RFC 1066, which defined the
Management Information Base (MIB) [3]. Both of these
documents were designed so as to be compatible with both the
SNMP and the OSI network management framework.
This strategy was quite successful in the short-term:
Internet-based network management technology was fielded, by
both the research and commercial communities, within a few
months. As a result of this, portions of the Internet
community became network manageable in a timely fashion.
As reported in RFC 1109, Report of the Second Ad Hoc Network
Management Review Group [4], the requirements of the SNMP and
the OSI network management frameworks were more different than
anticipated. As such, the requirement for compatibility
between the SMI/MIB and both frameworks was suspended. This
action permitted the operational network management framework,
the SNMP, to respond to new operational needs in the Internet
community by producing this document.
As such, the current network management framework for TCP/IP-
based internets consists of: Structure and Identification of
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 3]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
Management Information for TCP/IP-based internets, RFC 1155 [13],
which describes how managed objects contained in the MIB are
defined; Management Information Base for Network Management of
TCP/IP-based internets (version 2), this memo, which describes
the managed objects contained in the MIB; and, the Simple
Network Management Protocol, RFC 1157 [14], which defines the
protocol used to manage these objects.
Consistent with the IAB directive to produce simple, workable
systems in the short-term, the list ofc objects (e.g., for BSD UNIX)
were excluded.
7) It was agreed to avoid heavily instrumenting critical
sections of code. The general guideline was one counter
per critical section per layer.
3. Changes from MIB-I
Features of this MIB include:
1) incremental additions to reflect new operational
requirements;
2) upwards compatibility with the SMI/MIB and the SNMP;
3) improved support for multi-protocol entities; and,
4) textual clean-up of the MIB to improve clarity and
readability.
The objects defined in MIB-II have the OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix:
mib-2 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mgmt 1 }
3.1. Deprecated Objects
In order to better prepare implementors for future changes in the
MIB, a new term "deprecated" may be used when describing an object.
A deprecated object in the MIB is one which must be supported, but
one which will most likely be removed from the next version of the
MIB (e.g., MIB-III).
MIB-II marks one object as being deprecated:
atTable
As a result of deprecating the atTable object, the entire Address
Translation group is deprecated.
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 4]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
Note that no functionality is lost with the deprecation of these
objects: new objects providing equivalent or superior functionality
are defined in MIB-II.
3.2. Display Strings
In the past, there have been misinterpretations of the MIB as to when
a string of octets should contain printable characters, meant to be
displayed to a human. As a textual convention in the MIB, the
datatype
DisplayString ::= OCTET STRING
is introduced. A DisplayString is restricted to the NVT ASCII
character set, as defined in pages 10-11 of [7].
The following objects are now defined in terms of DisplayString:
sysDescr
ifDescr
It should be noted that this change has no effect on either the
syntax nor semantics of these objects. The use of the DisplayString
notation is merely an artifact of the explanatory method used in
MIB-II and future MIBs.
Further, it should be noted that any object defined in terms of OCTET
STRING may contain arbitrary binary data, in which each octet may
take any value from 0 to 255 (decimal).
3.3. The System Group
Four new objects are added to this group:
sysContact
sysName
sysLocation
sysServices
These provide contact, administrative, location, and service
information regarding the managed node.
3.4. The Interfaces Group
The definition of the ifNumber object was incorrect, as it required
all interfaces to support IP. (For example, devices without IP, such
as MAC-layer bridges, could not be managed if this definition was
strictly followed.) The description of the ifNumber object is changed
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 5]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
accordingly.
The ifTable object was mistaken marked as read-write, it has been
(correctly) re-designated as read-only. In addition, several new
values have been added to the ifType column in the ifTable object:
ppp(23)
softwareLoopback(24)
eon(25)
ethernet-3Mbit(26)
nsip(27)
slip(28)
Finally, a new column has been added to the ifTable object:
ifSpecific
which provides information about information specific to the media
being used to realize the interface.
3.5. The Address Translation Group
In MIB-I, this group contained a table which permitted mappings from
network addresses (e.g., IP addresses) to physical addresses (e.g.,
MAC addresses). Experience has shown that efficient implementations
of this table make two assumptions: a single network protocol
environment, and mappings occur only from network address to physical
address.
The need to support multi-protocol nodes (e.g., those with both the
IP and CLNP active), and the need to support the inverse mapping
(e.g., for ES-IS), have invalidated both of these assumptions. As
such, the atTable object is declared deprecated.
In order to meet both the multi-protocol and inverse mapping
requirements, MIB-II and its successors will allocate up to two
address translation tables inside each network protocol group. That
is, the IP group will contain one address translation table, for
going from IP addresses to physical addresses. Similarly, when a
document defining MIB objects for the CLNP is produced (e.g., [8]),
it will contain two tables, for mappings in both directions, as this
is required for full functionality.
It should be noted that the choice of two tables (one for each
direction of mapping) provides for ease of implementation in many
cases, and does not introduce undue burden on implementations which
realize the address translation abstraction through a single internal
table.
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 6]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
3.6. The IP Group
The access attribute of the variable ipForwarding has been changed
from read-only to read-write.
In addition, there is a new column to the ipAddrTable object,
ipAdEntReasmMaxSize
which keeps track of the largest IP datagram that can be re-
assembled on a particular interface. There is also a new column in
the ipRoutingTable object,
ipRouteMask
which is used for IP routing subsystems that support arbitrary subnet
masks.
One new object is added to the IP group:
ipNetToMediaTable
which is the address translation table for the IP group (providing
identical functionality to the now deprecated atTable in the address
translation group).
3.7. The ICMP Group
There are no changes to this group.
3.8. The TCP Group
Two new variables are added:
tcpInErrs
tcpOutRsts
which keep track of the number of incoming TCP segments in error and
the number of resets generated by a TCP.
3.9. The UDP Group
A new table:
udpTable
is added.
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 7]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
3.10. The EGP Group
Experience has indicated a need for additional objects that are
useful in EGP monitoring. In addition to making several additions to
the egpNeighborTable object, a new variable is added:
egpAs
which gives the autonomous system associated with this EGP entity.
3.11. The Transmission Group
MIB-I was lacking in that it did not distinguish between different
types of transmission media. A new group, the Transmission group, is
allocated for this purpose:
transmission OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 10 }
When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media
are defined, the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for
the names of those objects.
Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the
MIB until they are "proven", then as a part of the Internet
standardization process, the definitions are accordingly elevated and
a new object identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By
convention, the name assigned is:
type OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission number }
where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType
column of the ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer
value corresponding to the symbol.
3.12. The SNMP Group
The application-oriented working groups of the IETF have been tasked
to be receptive towards defining MIB variables specific to their
respective applications.
For the SNMP, it is useful to have statistical information. A new
group, the SNMP group, is allocated for this purpose:
snmp OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 11 }
4. Objects
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 8]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [9].
The mechanisms used for describing these objects are specified the
companion memo, the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a
syntax, and an encoding. The name is 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 OBJECT
DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.
The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for
this purpose. However, the companion memo purposely restricts the
ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are
explicitly made for simplicity.
The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is
represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the
notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type
is represented when being transmitted on the network. This memo
specifies the use of the basic encoding rules (BER) of ASN.1 [10],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP [14].
4.1. Object Groups
Since this list of managed objects contains only the essential
elements, there is no need to allow individual objects to be
optional. Rather, the objects are arranged into the following
groups:
- System
- Interfaces
- Address Translation (deprecated)
- IP
- ICMP
- TCP
- UDP
- EGP
- Transmission
- SNMP
There are two reasons for defining these groups: to provide a means
of assigning object identifiers; and, to provide a method for
implementations of managed agents to know which objects they must
implement. This method is as follows: if the semantics of a group is
applicable to an implementation, then it must implement all objects
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 9]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
in that group. For example, an implementation must implement the EGP
group if and only if it implements the EGP.
4.2. Format of Definitions
The next section contains the specification of all object types
contained in the MIB. Following the conventions of the companion
memo, the object types are defined using the following fields:
OBJECT:
-------
A textual name, termed the OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, for the
object type, along with its corresponding OBJECT
IDENTIFIER.
Syntax:
The abstract syntax for the object type, presented using
ASN.1. This must resolve to an instance of the ASN.1
type ObjectSyntax defined in the SMI.
Definition:
A textual description of the semantics of the object
type. Implementations should ensure that their
interpretation of the object type fulfills this
definition since this MIB is intended for use in multi-
vendor environments. As such it is vital that object
types have consistent meaning across all machines.
Access:
A keyword, one of read-only, read-write, write-only, or
not-accessible. Note that this designation specifies the
minimum level of support required. As a local matter,
implementations may support other access types (e.g., an
implementation may elect to permitting writing a variable
marked herein as read-only). Further, protocol-specific
"views" (e.g., those implied by an SNMP community) may
make further restrictions on access to a variable.
Status:
A keyword, one of mandatory, optional, obsolete, or
deprecated. Use of deprecated implies mandatory status.

management subsystem contained in the entity. This value
is allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree
(1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means
for determining "what kind of box" is being managed. For
example, if vendor "Flintstones, Inc." was assigned the
subtree 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier
1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its "Fred Router".

OBJECT:
-------
sysServices { system 7 }
Syntax:
INTEGER (0..127)
Definition:
A value which indicates the set of services that this
entity potentially offers. The value is a sum. This
sum initially takes the value zero, Then, for each layer,
L, in the range 1 through 7, that this node performs
transactions for, 2 raised to (L - 1) is added to the
sum. For example, a node which performs only routing
functions would have a value of 4 (2^(3-1)). In
contrast, a node which is a host offering application
services would have a value of 72 (2^(4-1) + 2^(7-1)).
Note that in the context of the Internet suite of
protocols, values should be calculated accordingly:
layer functionality
1 physical (e.g., repeaters)
2 datalink/subnetwork (e.g., bridges)
3 internet (e.g., supports the IP)
4 end-to-end (e.g., supports the TCP)
7 applications (e.g., supports the SMTP)
For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6 may
also be counted.

5.3. The Address Translation Group
Implementation of the Address Translation group is mandatory for all
systems. Note however that this group is deprecated by MIB-II. That
is, it is being included solely for compatibility with MIB-I nodes,
and will most likely be excluded from MIB-III nodes. From MIB-II and
onwards, each network protocol group contains its own address
translation tables.
The Address Translation group contains one table which is the union
across all interfaces of the translation tables for converting a
NetworkAddress (e.g., an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific
address. For lack of a better term, this document refers to such a
subnetwork-specific address as a "physical" address.
Examples of such translation tables are: for broadcast media where
ARP is in use, the translation table is equivalent to the ARP cache;
or, on an X.25 network where non-algorithmic translation to X.121
addresses is required, the translation table contains the
NetworkAddress to X.121 address equivalences.
OBJECT:

The Address Translation tables contain the NetworkAddress

Translation table is empty, i.e., has zero entries.

interface identified with said entry from the mapping
identified with said entry. It is an implementation-specific
matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry
from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be
prepared to receive tabular information from agents that
corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper

5.9. The Transmission Group
Based on the transmission media underlying each interface on a
system, the corresponding portion of the Transmission group is
mandatory for that system.
When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media
are defined, the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for
the names of those objects.
Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the
MIB until they are "proven", then as a part of the Internet
standardization process, the definitions are accordingly elevated and
a new object identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By
convention, the name assigned is:
type OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission number }
where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType
column of the ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer
value corresponding to the symbol.

7. Identification of OBJECT instances for use with the SNMP
The names for all object types in the MIB are defined explicitly
either in the Internet-standard MIB or in other documents which
conform to the naming conventions of the SMI. The SMI requires that
conformant management protocols define mechanisms for identifying
individual instances of those object types for a particular network
element.
Each instance of any object type defined in the MIB is identified in
SNMP operations by a unique name called its "variable name." In
general, the name of an SNMP variable is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the
form x.y, where x is the name of a non-aggregate object type defined
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 126]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
in the MIB and y is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER fragment that, in a way
specific to the named object type, identifies the desired instance.
This naming strategy admits the fullest exploitation of the semantics
of the powerful SNMP get-next operator, because it assigns names for
related variables so as to be contiguous in the lexicographical
ordering of all variable names known in the MIB.
The type-specific naming of object instances is defined below for a
number of classes of object types. Instances of an object type to
which none of the following naming conventions are applicable are
named by OBJECT IDENTIFIERs of the form x.0, where x is the name of
said object type in the MIB definition.
For example, suppose one wanted to identify an instance of the
variable sysDescr. The object class for sysDescr is:
iso org dod internet mgmt mib system sysDescr
1 3 6 1 2 1 1 1
Hence, the object type, x, would be 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 to which is
appended an instance sub-identifier of 0. That is, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
identifies the one and only instance of sysDescr.
7.1. ifTable Object Type Names
The name of a subnetwork interface, s, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
of the form i, where i has the value of that instance of the ifIndex
object type associated with s. For each object type, t, for which
the defined name, n, has a prefix of ifEntry, an instance, i, of t is
named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.s, where s is the name of
the subnetwork interface about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to identify the instance of the
variable ifType associated with interface 2. Accordingly, ifType.2
would identify the desired instance.
7.2. atTable Object Type Names
The name of an address translation entry, x, is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER
of the form s.1.a.b.c.d, such that s is the value of that instance of
the atIfIndex object type associated with x, the subidentifer "1"
signifies the translation of an IP protocol address, and a.b.c.d is
the IP address value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that
instance of the atNetAddress object type associated with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of atEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 127]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
the form n.y, where y is the name of the address translation entry
about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the physical address of an
entry in the address translation table (ARP cache) associated with an
IP address of 89.1.1.42 and interface 3. Accordingly,
atPhysAddress.3.1.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired instance.
7.3. ipAddrTable Object Type Names
The name of an IP-addressable network element, x, is the OBJECT
IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the
familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the ipAdEntAddr object
type associated with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of ipAddrEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER
of the form n.y, where y is the name of the IP- addressable network
element about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the network mask of an entry
in the IP interface table associated with an IP address of 89.1.1.42.
Accordingly, ipAdEntNetMask.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired
instance.
At the option of the agent, multiple entries for the same IP address
may be visible. To realize this, the agent, while required to return
a single entry for an IP address, x, of the form n.y, may also return
information about other entries for the same IP address using the
form n.y.z, where z is a implementation-dependendent small, non-
negative integer. It is strongly recommended that the value of z
correspond to the value of ipAddrIfIndex for that entry.
7.4. ipRoutingTable Object Type Names
The name of an IP route, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form
a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot"
notation) of that instance of the ipRouteDest object type associated
with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of ipRoutingEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the IP route about
which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the next hop of an entry in
the IP routing table associated with the destination of 89.1.1.42.
Accordingly, ipRouteNextHop.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 128]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
instance.
At the option of the agent, multiple routes to the same destination
may be visible. To realize this, the agent, while required to return
a single entry for an IP route, x, of the form n.y, may also return
information about other routes to the same destination using the form
n.y.z, where z is a implementation-dependendent small, non-negative
integer.
7.5. ipNetToMediaTable Object Type Names
The name of a cached IP address, x, is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the
form s.a.b.c.d, such that s is the value of that instance of the
ipNetToMediaIfIndex object type associated with the entry and a.b.c.d
is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of the
ipNetToMediaNetAddress object type associated with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of ipNetToMediaEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the cached IP
address about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the media address of an entry
in the address translation table associated with a IP address of
192.52.180.1 and interface 3. Accordingly,
ipNetToMediaPhysAddress.3.192.52.180.1 would identify the desired
instance.
7.6. tcpConnTable Object Type Names
The name of a TCP connection, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form
a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar
"dot" notation) of that instance of the tcpConnLocalAddress object
type associated with x and such that f.g.h.i is the value (in the
familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the tcpConnRemoteAddress
object type associated with x and such that e is the value of that
instance of the tcpConnLocalPort object type associated with x and
such that j is the value of that instance of the tcpConnRemotePort
object type associated with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of tcpConnEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the TCP connection
about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the state of a TCP connection
between the local address of 89.1.1.42 on TCP port 21 and the remote
address of 10.0.0.51 on TCP port 2059. Accordingly,
IETF SNMP Working Group [Page 129]
RFC 1158 MIB II May 1990
tcpConnState.89.1.1.42.21.10.0.0.51.2059 would identify the desired
instance.
7.7. udpTable Object Type Names
The name of a UDP listener, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form
a.b.c.d.e. such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot"
notation) of that instance of the udpLocalAddress object type
associated with x and such that e is the value of that instance of
the udpLocalPort object type associated with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of udpEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of
the form n.y, where y is the name of the UDP listener about which i
represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to determine if a UDP listener was
present at the local address of 89.1.1.42 on UDP port 21.
Accordingly, a successful retrieval of either
udpLocalAddress.89.1.1.42.21 or udpLocalPort.89.1.1.42.21 would
indicate this.
7.8. egpNeighTable Object Type Names
The name of an EGP neighbor, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form
a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot"
notation) of that instance of the egpNeighAddr object type associated
with x.
For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix
of egpNeighEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the EGP neighbor
about which i represents information.
For example, suppose one wanted to find the neighbor state for the IP
address of 89.1.1.42. Accordingly, egpNeighState.89.1.1.42 would
identify the desired instance.
