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 managing bridges based on the IEEE 802.1d draft standard between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. Provisions are made for support of transparent and source route bridging. Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.
2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are:
RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213, defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new operational requirements.
RFC 1157 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.
Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 2]
RFC 1286 Bridge MIB December 1991
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
A common device present in many networks is the Bridge. This device is used to connect Local Area Network segments below the network layer. There are two major modes defined for this bridging; transparent and source route. The transparent method of bridging is defined in the draft IEEE 802.1d specification [11]. Source route bridging has been defined by I.B.M. and is described in the Token Ring Architecture Reference [12]. IEEE 802.1d is currently working on combining the source route and transparent techniques in a compatible fashion. This memo defines those objects needed for the management of a bridging entity operating in one of these modes.
To be consistent with IAB directives and good engineering practice, an explicit attempt was made to keep this MIB as simple as possible. This was accomplished by applying the following criteria to objects proposed for inclusion:
(1) Start with a small set of essential objects and add only as further objects are needed.
(2) Require objects be essential for either fault or configuration management.
(3) Consider evidence of current use and/or utility.
(4) Limit the total of objects.
Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 3]
RFC 1286 Bridge MIB December 1991
(5) Exclude objects which are simply derivable from others in this or other MIBs.
(6) Avoid causing critical sections to be heavily instrumented. The guideline that was followed is one counter per critical section per layer.
4.1. Structure of MIB
Objects in this MIB are arranged into groups. Each group is organized as a set of related objects. The overall structure and assignment of objects to their groups is shown below. Where appropriate the corresponding IEEE 802.1d [11] management object name is also included.

RFC 1286 Bridge MIB December 1991
4.1.1. The dot1dBase Group
This mandatory group contains the objects which are applicable to all types of bridges.
4.1.2. The dot1dStp Group
This group contains the objects that denote the bridge's state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implemented the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to any transparent only, source route, or SRT bridge which implements the Spanning Tree Protocol.
4.1.3. The dot1dSr Group
This group contains the objects that describe the entity's state with respect to source route bridging. If source routing is not supported this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to source route only, and SRT bridges.
4.1.4. The dot1dTp Group
This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with respect to transparent bridging. If transparent bridging is not supported this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to transparent only and SRT bridges.
4.1.5. The dot1dStatic Group
This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with respect to destination-address filtering. If destination-address filtering is not supported this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to any type of bridge which performs destination-address filtering.
4.2. Relationship to Other MIBs
As described above, some IEEE 802.1d management objects have not been included in this MIB because they overlap with objects in other MIBs applicable to a bridge implementing this MIB. In particular, it is assumed that a bridge implementing this MIB will also implement (at least) the 'system' group and the 'interfaces' group defined in MIB- II [6].
Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 7]
RFC 1286 Bridge MIB December 1991
4.2.1. Relationship to the 'system' group
In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems such that each managed entity contains one instance of each object in the 'system' group. Thus, those objects apply to the entity as a whole irrespective of whether the entity's sole functionality is bridging, or whether bridging is only a subset of the entity's functionality.
4.2.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group
In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where each interface is thought of as being attached to a `subnetwork'. (Note that this term is not to be confused with `subnet' which refers to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of protocols.) The term 'segment' is used in this memo to refer to such a subnetwork, whether it be an Ethernet segment, a 'ring', a WAN link, or even an X.25 virtual circuit.
Implicit in this Bridge MIB is the notion of ports on a bridge. Each of these ports is associated with one interface of the 'interfaces' group, and in most situations, each port is associated with a different interface. However, there are situations in which multiple ports are associated with the same interface. An example of such a situation would be several ports each corresponding one-to-one with several X.25 virtual circuits but all on the same interface.
Each port is uniquely identified by a port number. A port number has no mandatory relationship to an interface number, but in the simple case a port number will have the same value as the corresponding interface's interface number. Port numbers are in the range (1..dot1dBaseNumPorts).
Some entities perform other functionality as well as bridging through the sending and receiving of data on their interfaces. In such situations, only a subset of the data sent/received on an interface is within the domain of the entity's bridging functionality. This subset is considered to be delineated according to a set of protocols, with some protocols being bridged, and other protocols not being bridged. For example, in an entity which exclusively performed bridging, all protocols would be considered as being bridged, whereas in an entity which performed IP routing on IP datagrams and only bridged other protocols, only the non-IP data would be considered as being bridged. Thus, this Bridge MIB (and in particular, its counters) are applicable only to that subset of the data on an entity's interfaces which is sent/received for a protocol being bridged. All such data is sent/received via the ports of the bridge.

RFC 1286 Bridge MIB December 1991
4.3. Textual Conventions
The datatypes, MacAddress, BridgeId and Timeout, are used as textual conventions in this document. These textual conventions have NO effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed object. Objects defined using these conventions are always encoded by means of the rules that define their primitive type. Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions which are adopted merely for the convenience of readers.

The value 'forced(3)' indicates the port will always accept and propagate Spanning Tree Explorer frames. This allows a manually configured Spanning Tree for this class of packet to be configured. Note that unlike transparent bridging this is not catastrophic to the network if there are loops. The value 'auto-span(1)' can only be returned by a bridge that both implements the Spanning Tree Protocol and has use of the protocol enabled on this port. The behavior of the port for Spanning Tree Explorer frames is determined by the state of dot1dStpPortState. If the port is in the 'forwarding' state, the frame will be accepted or propagated.

This document was produced on behalf of the Bridge Sub-Working Group of the SNMP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. Over the course of its deliberations, the working group received four separate documents for consideration as the basis for its work. The first was submitted by Stan Froyd of Advanced Computer Communications; the second by Richard Fox of SynOptics; the third by Eric Decker of cisco Inc. and Keith McCloghrie of Hughes LAN Systems; and the fourth by Paul Langille and Anil Rijsinghani of Digital Equipment Corp. After considering the submissions, the working group chose to proceed with a document formed as a conjunction of the latter two submissions. This document is the result.
The authors wish to thank the members of the Bridge Working Group for their many comments and suggestions which improved this effort. In particular, Fred Baker (chairman of the working group) of ACC, Steve Sherry of Xyplex, and Frank Kastenholz of Clearpoint Research Corp.
