Managed Objects for the Internet Group Management Protocol
1. 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 the Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) defined in RFC 1112 [1].
2. Status of this Memo
This document will be submitted to the RFC editor as an extension to the
SNMP MIB. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Please send comments
to the authors.
This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are working
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas, and
its Working Groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working
documents as Internet Drafts.
Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months.
Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other
documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet Drafts as
reference material or to cite them other than as a "working draft" or
"work in progress."
Please check the I-D abstract listing contained in each Internet Draft
directory to learn the current status of this or any other Internet
Draft.
3. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
Pusateri [Page 1]
INTERNET DRAFT February 1993
components. They are:
RFC 1155 [2]
which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and
naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC 1212 [3] defines
a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent
with the SMI.
RFC 1156 [4]
which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for the
Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213 [5], defines MIB-II, an
evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
operational requirements.
RFC 1157 [6]
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.
4. 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 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 SMI 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
Pusateri [Page 2]
INTERNET DRAFT February 1993
represented when being transmitted on the network.
The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.
Format of Definitions
Section 6 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 RFC1212.
5. Overview
This MIB provides a general mechanism to determine the group membership
information on a per interface basis. It was designed to be used for
both end systems and multicast routers.
For each interface on the box, there is a table indexed by IfIndex. It
denotes the status of IGMP on the interface. Various Host Membership
Query statistics are maintained. A group membership table is kept in
addition indexed by the interface and group address. In this table,
Host Membership Report information as well as group statistics are kept.
It is the intention of this document to specify MIB definitions for only
the part of IGMP that is protocol independent. This excludes any IGMP
message types currently in use for Distance Vector Multicast Routing
Protocol (DVMRP). There is a companion document that will specify a
Management Information Base for entries in the IP Multicast forwarding
cache. Each cache entry can provide a protocol specific object
identifier containing protocol dependent information about the protocol
that installed the cache entry.
