November 2003 IANA guidelines for the registry of rmon MIB modules draft-ietf-rmonmib-rmon-oid-assignments-01.txt Status of this Memo This document is an Internet-Draft and is in full conformance with all provisions of Section 10 of RFC2026. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Abstract This document defines the procedures for IANA to administer and maintain the Object Identifier (OID) tree under the rmon root. This memo also documents the currently assigned values. 1. Introduction The RMONMIB Working Group so far has maintained its own registry for OID assignments for new MIB modules under the root OID for rmon [RFC2819]. This has worked reasonably well, although errors had to be corrected at a late stage one or two times, and a few now defunct assignments have been made as well. Wijnen & Bierman Expires March 1, 2004 [Page 1] Internet-Draft IANA Guidelines for the RMON registry September 2003 It is also a somewhat non-standard way of doing things, because normally a new standards track MIB module will get a MIB root assigned at the time that the module is being published as part of an RFC. This document lists the currently assigned rmon OIDs. It also describes the procedures and rules for new assignments and asks IANA to take over the responsibility for existing andi future assignments. The current assignments are not all too logical. Initialy normal MIB OIDs were assigned under rmon, but at a later time the WG used the rmon root OID to create new MIB modules underneath it. Some people will claim 'an OID is just an OID', and while this is true, it does not make things easier if the organisation of OIDs is not logical. However, we cannot change what has been assigned in the past. From now on, only MODULE-IDENTITY macro (MIB root) assignments will be made (by IANA) under the 'rmon' node. Within a MIB module, the working group authors/editors can then assign their own OIDs according to normal procedures. 2. Currently assigned OIDs under the rmon root At the time of this writing, the following OIDs have been assigned and IANA is requested to pick up this information in their public registry of assigned values. These should be listed as part of the already existing smi-numbers registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers. ...mib-2.rmon (1.3.6.1.2.1.16) The assignments under ...mib-2.rmon were maintained by the RMONMIB Working Group until publication of RFC XXXX. Some (early) assignments may not look all too logical. That is true, but that is history and cannot be changed. From now on, only MODULE-IDENTITY macro (MIB root) assignments will be made (by IANA) under the 'rmon' node.

How to request a new assignment for a MIB module When anyone is writing a internet-draft for which a new assignment is needed/wanted under the rmon OID, then the proper way to do so is as follows: EXAMPLE-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS rmon FROM RMON-MIB .. other imports .. exampleMIB MODULE-IDENTITY ... other normal MODULE-IDENTITY stuff ... ::= { rmon nnn } -- IANA: please assign nnn -- RFC-Editor: replace nnn with IANA-assigned -- number and remove this note IANA will assign the number as part of the RFC publication process. 4. Security Considerations This memo describes procedures for IANA assignment of OBJECT IDENTIFIER values, and has no impact on the security of the Internet. Wijnen & Bierman Expires March 1, 2004 [Page 4] Internet-Draft IANA Guidelines for the RMON registry September 2003 5. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to pick up the initial set of assignments and integrate them into the existing registry for smi-numbers at http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers The list is presented in Section 2. IANA is also requested to maintain this registry for future assignments. New assignments can only be made via Standards Action as described in [RFC2434]. IANA will assign the number as part of the RFC publication process. 6. Acknowledgments This document was produced as a result of discussion between the Operations and Management AD responsible for Network Management and the WG chair for the RMONMIB Working Group. Thanks to Andy Bierman for keeping and administering the registry up to this point in time. The document has been reviewed by the RMONMIB Working Group.
