- Reassignment of Experimental MIBs to Standard MIBs
-
- Status of this Memo
-
- This RFC 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.
-
- Statement
-
- In the past, MIBs have been assigned arcs in the experimental MIB
- namespace early in their development and then were not assigned arcs
- in the standard MIB namespace until they reached Full Standard
- status. This practice required vendors to revise their
- implementations when a MIB went from Draft to Full Standard status,
- even though there was probably no substantive technical change in the
- definitions. This practice could also engender operational problems
- in the field at an undesirably late stage of the standardization
- process. It was also observed that this practice could discourage
- implementation until the Full Standard stage and that this, too,
- would be undesirable. So, a preferable practice is to assign arcs in
- the standard MIB namespace at the earliest phase of standardization
- and to preserve these assignments as the standard progresses.
-
- This memo specifically updates:
-
- RFC 1229 - "Extensions to the Generic-Interface MIB"
-
- RFC 1230 - "IEEE 802.4 Token Bus MIB"
-
- RFC 1231 - "IEEE 802.5 Token Ring MIB"
-
- RFC 1232 - "Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS1 Interface
- Type"
-
- RFC 1233 - "Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS3 Interface
- Type"
-
- with new codes. In the future, consult each MIB publication for new
- code assignments.
