Abstract
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the Internet
Standard Management Framework are widely used for the management of
communication devices, creating a need to specify SNMP access
(including access to SNMP MIB object instances) from non-SNMP
management environments. For example, when out-of-band IP management
is used via a separate management interface (e.g., for a device that
does not support in-band IP access), a uniform way to indicate how to
contact the device for management is needed. Uniform Resource
Identifiers (URIs) fit this need well, as they allow a single text
string to indicate a management access communication endpoint for a
wide variety of IP-based protocols.
This document defines a URI scheme so that SNMP can be designated as
the protocol used for management. The scheme also allows a URI to
designate one or more MIB object instances.
