This specification defines an extension to the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management.  In particular,
it defines objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling Data
Link Switches (DLSw). This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner
that is both compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical
to the SNMPv1 definitions. This RFC is a product of Data Link
Switching MIB Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

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
