1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used by IEEE 802.5 end-
stations for managing source routes on a Token Ring network where
IEEE source-routing is in use. IEEE source-routing is described in
802.5 Token Ring Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications [8]
and related ISO publications [9, 10, 11].
This memo is an incremental update to RFC 1748 [6]. It is documented
separately from the RFC 1748 solely due to the latter's maturity
within the Internet standardization process.

RFC 1749 802.5 Station Source Routing MIB using SMIv2 December 1994
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1442 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 [3] which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 [4] which defines the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
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)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an
OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. 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 descriptor, to refer to the
object type.
3. Overview
This memo defines a single table: the 802.5 Station Source Routing
Table, which contains the source routes known by a end-station on an
IEEE 802.5 Token Ring network in which IEEE source-routing is in use.
3.1. Source Routing
Source routing extends the 802.5 protocol [8] by assigning a unique
ring number to each ring within the extended LAN, and a bridge number
to each source routing bridge's connection to a ring. A Routing
Information Field (RIF) must be included in frames which need to
traverse multiple rings. The format of the RIF is:

3.2. Relationship to RFC 1748
RFC 1748 [6], the IEEE 802.5 MIB, defines managed objects used for
interfaces to IEEE 802.5 Token Ring subnetworks. This memo is an
incremental update to RFC 1748, and is documented independently
solely due to the maturity of the definitions contained within RFC
1748.
3.3. Relationship to RFC 1525
RFC 1525 [7] defines the MIB objects specific to source-routing for
source-routing and SRT bridges. This memo defines the MIB objects
specific to source-routing for source-routing end-stations.
McCloghrie, Baker & Decker [Page 3]
RFC 1749 802.5 Station Source Routing MIB using SMIv2 December 1994
3.4. Static Source Routes
It is unclear how many, if any, existing systems allow the creation
or deletion of "static" 802.5 source routes by network management.
However, SNMPv2 SMI defines that the MAX-ACCESS clause as specifying
the maximal level of access which makes "protocol sense". Thus, this
memo provides support for static source routes through the
dot5SrRouteStatus object, but the conformance statements allow for
stations which do not support static source routes, by requiring that
compliant agents only need provide read-access to dot5SrRouteStatus.
3.5. Destinations on the Local Ring
Entries should be included in the dot5SrRouteTable for destination
MAC addresses which are on the same ring as the instrumented 802.5
interface. For such entries, dot5SrRouteDescr has the value of the
zero-length string, and dot5SrRouteControl has the corresponding
value.
