                   Protocol Independent Multicast MIB

Status of This Memo

   This document 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" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

   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 for managing the
   Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols: PIM-SM (Sparse Mode),
   BIDIR-PIM (Bidirectional), and PIM-DM (Dense Mode).  This document is
   part of work in progress to obsolete RFC 2934, and is to be preferred
   where the two documents overlap.  This document does not obsolete RFC
   2934.

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 for managing the
   Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols (PIM-SM [RFC4601],
   BIDIR-PIM [RFC5015], and PIM-DM [RFC3973]).

   This document is part of work in progress to obsolete RFC 2934
   [RFC2934].  RFC 2934 defined an experimental MIB module for managing
   the PIM protocols.  The MIB module defined by this document is a re-
   working of the MIB module from RFC 2934, with major changes that
   include the following.

   o  This MIB module is independent of IP version, whereas RFC 2934
      only supported IPv4.

   o  This MIB module includes support for managing BIDIR-PIM.

   o  This MIB module retains limited support for managing PIM-DM
      [RFC3973], but that is no longer its primary purpose.

   o  This MIB module does not include support for managing PIM-SM v1.

   o  This MIB module does not depend on the IPv4 Multicast Routing MIB
      defined in RFC 2932 [RFC2932].

   o  This MIB module includes support for configuring static Rendezvous
      Points (RPs).

   o  This MIB module includes support for configuring anycast RPs
      [RFC4610].

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

3.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].

4.  Overview

   This MIB module contains the following tables.

   1.   The PIM Interface Table, which contains one row per IP version
        for each interface of the router which is running PIM.

   2.   The PIM Neighbor Table, which contains one row for each of the
        router's PIM neighbors.

   3.   The PIM Neighbor Secondary Address Table, which contains one row
        for each secondary address advertised by each of the router's
        PIM neighbors.

   4.   The PIM (*,G) State Table, which contains one row for each group
        for which PIM has (*,G) state.

   5.   The PIM (*,G,I) State Table, which contains one row for each
        group and interface for which PIM has interface-specific (*,G)
        state.

   6.   The PIM (S,G) State Table, which contains one row for each
        source and group for which PIM has (S,G) state.

   7.   The PIM (S,G,I) State Table, which contains one row for each
        source, group, and interface for which PIM has interface-
        specific (S,G) state.

   8.   The PIM (S,G,rpt) State Table, which contains one row for each
        source and group for which PIM has (S,G,rpt) state.

   9.   The PIM (S,G,rpt,I) State Table, which contains one row for each
        source, group, and interface for which PIM has interface-
        specific (S,G,rpt) state.

   10.  The PIM Bidir DF-Election Table, which contains one row per
        interface for each Rendezvous Point (RP) for which
        Bidirectional-PIM Designated Forwarder (DF) election state is
        maintained.

   11.  The PIM Static RP Table, which contains one row per range of
        multicast group addresses for which a particular configured RP
        should be used.

   12.  The PIM Group Mapping Table, which contains one row for each
        mapping from a multicast group address prefix to the PIM mode
        and RP address to use for groups within that group prefix,
        regardless of the source of the group mapping information.

   13.  The PIM Anycast-RP Set Table, which contains one row for each RP
        within each Anycast-RP set of which the local router is a
        member.

   This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the IF-MIB
   [RFC2863], the INET-ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001], and the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB
   [RTPROTO].  This MIB module REFERENCEs [RFC3376], [RFC3569],
   [RFC3618], [RFC3810], [RFC3956], [RFC3973], [RFC4601], [RFC4610],
   [RFC5015], [RFC5059], and [IPMCAST-MIB].
