This RFC describes a protocol that International Business Machines
Corporation (IBM) has been implementing in most of its SNMP agents to
allow dynamic extension of supported MIBs. This is an Experimental
Protocol for the Internet community. Discussion and suggestions for
improvement are requested. Please refer to the current edition of the
"IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and
status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, NIS.NSF.NET, or
NISC.JVNC.NET.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, with the pathname
rfc/rfcNNNN.txt (where "NNNN" refers to the number of the RFC). Login
with FTP username "anonymous" and password "guest".
SRI also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to MAIL-SERVER@NISC.SRI.COM and
in the body of the message indicate the RFC to be sent: "send rfcNNNN"
where NNNN is the RFC number. Multiple requests may be included in
the same message.
To obtain RFCs from NIS.NSF.NET via FTP, login with username
"anonymous" and password "guest"; then connect to the RFC directory
("cd RFC"). The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1 (where "nnnn"
refers to the number of the RFC).
The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank. The first line of the text of
the message must be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.
RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NISC.JVNC.NET, with the
pathname rfc/RFCnnnn.TXT.v.Z (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the
RFC and "v" refers to the version number of the RFC). Login with FTP
username "anonymous" and your e-mail address as your password.
JvNCnet also provides a mail service for those sites which cannot use
FTP. Address the request to NISC@JVNC.NET and in the subject field of
the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFC nnnn".
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.
Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to
POSTEL@ISI.EDU. Please consult RFC 1111, "Instructions to RFC
Authors", for further information.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
