Token Ring Extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB

Status of this Memo This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This memo defines extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB for managing 802.5 Token Ring networks. The Remote Network Monitoring MIB, RFC 1271, defines a framework for remote monitoring functions implemented on a network probe. That MIB defines objects broken down into nine functional groups. Some of those functional groups, the statistics and the history groups, have a view of the data-link layer that is specific to the media type and require specific objects to be defined for each media type. RFC 1271 defined those specific objects necessary for Ethernet. This companion memo defines those specific objects necessary for Token Ring LANs. In addition, this memo defines some additional monitoring functions specifically for Token Ring. These are defined in the Ring Station
