Rfc Reports; Managing Data - SMC Networks EliteView 6.20 Management Manual

Information about networking and protocols is available from RFC reports and industry-related documentation.

RFC Reports

The most comprehensive collection of networking information is a series of reports called Request for Comments
(RFC). Each RFC has a title and an RFC number, such as Internet Protocol, RFC-791. RFCs are all listed in an
index, titled rfc-index. The index is not definitive and titles do not always indicate the contents (for example,
RFC-1155 and RFC-1156 define SNMP requirements although SNMP is not mentioned in the title). To obtain one
or more RFCs on paper, contact the Network Information Center (NIC) at:

Managing Data

Data in monitored devices are defined using the Management Information Base (MIB) model. Database
management functions are built into agent software using standard data structures. SNMP is based on the
"Concise MIB Definitions," which are defined in RFC 1212.
