- DESCRIPTION
- "This MIB module defines textual conventions for
- representing Internet addresses. An Internet
- address can be an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address
- or a DNS domain name."
-
- REVISION "200006080000Z"
- DESCRIPTION
- "Initial version, published as RFC 2851."
- ::= { mib-2 76 }
-
- InetAddressType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
- STATUS current
- DESCRIPTION
- "A value that represents a type of Internet address.
-
- unknown(0) An unknown address type. This value MUST
- be used if the value of the corresponding
- InetAddress object is a zero-length string.
- It may also be used to indicate an IP address
- which is not in one of the formats defined
- below.
-
- ipv4(1) An IPv4 address as defined by the
- InetAddressIPv4 textual convention.
-
- ipv6(2) An IPv6 address as defined by the
- InetAddressIPv6 textual convention.
-
- dns(16) A DNS domain name as defined by the
- InetAddressDNS textual convention.
-
- Each definition of a concrete InetAddressType value must be
- accompanied by a definition of a textual convention for use
- with that InetAddressType.
-
- The InetAddressType textual convention SHOULD NOT be subtyped
- in object type definitions to support future extensions. It
-
- MAY be subtyped in compliance statements in order to require
- only a subset of these address types for a compliant
- implementation."
- SYNTAX INTEGER {
- unknown(0),
- ipv4(1), -- these named numbers are aligned
- ipv6(2), -- with AddressFamilyNumbers from
- dns(16) -- IANA-ADDRESS-FAMILY-NUMBERS-MIB
- }
-
- InetAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
- STATUS current
- DESCRIPTION
- "Denotes a generic Internet address.
-
- An InetAddress value is always interpreted within the
- context of an InetAddressType value. The InetAddressType
- object which defines the context must be registered
- immediately before the object which uses the InetAddress
- textual convention. In other words, the object identifiers
- for the InetAddressType object and the InetAddress object
- MUST have the same length and the last sub-identifier of
- the InetAddressType object MUST be 1 less than the last
- sub-identifier of the InetAddress object.
-
- When this textual convention is used as the syntax of an
- index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
- sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case,
- the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause
- to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers."
- SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..255))
-
- InetAddressIPv4 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
- DISPLAY-HINT "1d.1d.1d.1d"
- STATUS current
- DESCRIPTION
- "Represents an IPv4 network address:
-
- octets contents encoding
- 1-4 IP address network-byte order
-
- The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv4(1)."
- SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (4))
-
- InetAddressIPv6 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
- DISPLAY-HINT "2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x%4d"
- STATUS current
- DESCRIPTION
- "Represents an IPv6 network address:
-
- octets contents encoding
- 1-16 IPv6 address network-byte order
- 17-20 scope identifier network-byte order
-
- The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv6(2).
-
- The scope identifier (bytes 17-20) MUST NOT be present
- for global IPv6 addresses. For non-global IPv6 addresses
- (e.g. link-local or site-local addresses), the scope
- identifier MUST always be present. It contains a link
- identifier for link-local and a site identifier for
- site-local IPv6 addresses.
-
- The scope identifier MUST disambiguate identical address
- values. For link-local addresses, the scope identifier will
- typically be the interface index (ifIndex as defined in the
- IF-MIB, RFC 2233) of the interface on which the address is
- configured.
-
- The scope identifier may contain the special value 0
- which refers to the default scope. The default scope
- may be used in cases where the valid scope identifier
- is not known (e.g., a management application needs to
- write a site-local InetAddressIPv6 address without
- knowing the site identifier value). The default scope
- SHOULD NOT be used as an easy way out in cases where
- the scope identifier for a non-global IPv6 is known."
- SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (16|20))
-
- InetAddressDNS ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
- DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
- STATUS current
- DESCRIPTION
- "Represents a DNS domain name. The name SHOULD be
- fully qualified whenever possible.
-
- The corresponding InetAddressType is dns(16).
-
- The DESCRIPTION clause of InetAddress objects that
- may have InetAddressDNS values must fully describe
- how (and when) such names are to be resolved to IP
- addresses."
