RFC 1442: Structure of Management Information for version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 1902.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 2578 — Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Management information is viewed as a collection of managed objects, residing in a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base (MIB). Collections of related objects are defined in MIB modules. These modules are written using a subset of OSI's Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [1]. It is the purpose of this document, the Structure of Management Information (SMI), to define that subset. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
