Definitions of Managed Objects for
RS-232-like Hardware Devices

Status of this Memo

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

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 the management of RS-232-like
devices.

2. The Network Management Framework

The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:

RFC1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC1212 defines a
more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with
the SMI.

RFC1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for the
Internet suite of protocols. RFC1213, defines MIB-II, an evolution
of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new operational
requirements.

RFC1157 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.

3. 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 [3] 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.

The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.

3.1. Format of Definitions

Section 5 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 [9,10].

4. Overview

The RS-232-like Hardware Device MIB applies to interface ports that
might logically support the Interface MIB, a Transmission MIB, or the
Character MIB. The most common example is an RS-232 port with modem
signals.

The RS-232-like MIB is one of a set of MIBs designed for
complementary use. At this writing, the set comprises:

Character MIB
PPP MIB
RS-232-like MIB
Parallel-printer-like MIB

The RS-232-like MIB and the Parallel-printer-like MIB represent the
physical layer, providing service to higher layers such as the
Character MIB or PPP MIB. Further MIBs may appear above these.

The following diagram shows two possible "MIB stacks", each using the
RS-232-like MIB.

.-----------------.
.-----------------. | Standard MIB |
| Telnet MIB | | Interface Group |
|-----------------| |-----------------|
| Character MIB | | PPP MIB |
|-----------------| |-----------------|
| RS-232-like MIB | | RS-232-like MIB |
`-----------------' `-----------------'

The intent of the model is for the physical-level MIBs to represent
the lowest level, regardless of the higher level that may be using
it. In turn, separate higher level MIBs represent specific
applications, such as a terminal (the Character MIB) or a network
connection (the PPP MIB).

The RS-232-like Hardware Device MIB is mandatory for all systems that
have such a hardware port supporting services managed through some
other MIB, for example, the Character MIB or PPP MIB.

The MIB includes multiple similar types of hardware, and as a result
contains objects not applicable to all of those types. Such objects
are in a separate branch of the MIB, which is required when
applicable and otherwise absent.

The RS-232-like Hardware Port MIB includes RS-232, RS-422, RS-423,
V.35, and other asynchronous or synchronous, serial physical links
with a similar set of control signals.

The MIB contains objects that relate to physical layer connections.
Such connections may provide interesting hardware signals (other than
for basic data transfer), such as RNG and DCD. Hardware ports also
have such attributes as speed and bits per character.

Usefulness of error counters in this MIB depends on the presence of
non-error character counts in higher level MIBs.

The MIB comprises one base object and four tables, detailed in the
following sections. The tables contain objects for all ports,
asynchronous ports, and input and output control signals.
