Management Information Base for Network Management

of TCP/IP-based internets:

MIB-II

1. Status of this Memo

This memo defines the second version of the Management Information Base (MIB-II) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP- based internets. In particular, together with its companion memos which describe the structure of management information (RFC 1155) along with the network management protocol (RFC 1157) for TCP/IP- based internets, these documents provide a simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in particular the Internet community.

This document on MIB-II incorporates all of the technical content of RFC 1156 on MIB-I and extends it, without loss of compatibilty. However, MIB-I as described in RFC 1156 is full Standard Protocol of the Internet, while the MIB-II described here is Proposed Standard Protocol of the Internet.

This memo defines a mandatory extension to the base MIB (RFC 1156) and is a Proposed Standard for the Internet community. The extensions described here are currently Elective, but when they become a standard, they will have the same status as RFC 1156, that is, Recommended. The Internet Activities Board recommends that all IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. This implies implementation of the Internet MIB (RFC 1156 and the extensions in RFC 1158) and at least one of the two recommended management protocols SNMP (RFC 1157) or CMOT (RFC 1095).

This version of the MIB specification, MIB-II, is an incremental refinement of MIB-I. As such, it has been designed according to two criteria: first, changes have been made in response to new operational requirements in the Internet; and, second, the changes are entirely upwards compatible in order to minimize impact on the network as the managed nodes in the Internet transition from MIB-I to MIB-II.

It is expected that additional MIB groups and variables will be defined over time to accommodate the monitoring and control needs of new or changing components of the Internet.

2. Introduction

As reported in RFC 1052, IAB Recommendations for the
Development of Internet Network Management Standards [1], a two-prong strategy for network management of TCP/IP-based internets was undertaken. In the short-term, the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was to be used to manage nodes in the Internet community. In the long-term, the use of the OSI network management framework was to be examined. Two documents were produced to define the management information: RFC 1065, which defined the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) [2], and RFC 1066, which defined the
Management Information Base (MIB) [3]. Both of these
documents were designed so as to be compatible with both the SNMP and the OSI network management framework.

This strategy was quite successful in the short-term:
Internet-based network management technology was fielded, by both the research and commercial communities, within a few months. As a result of this, portions of the Internet
community became network manageable in a timely fashion.

As reported in RFC 1109, Report of the Second Ad Hoc Network Management Review Group [4], the requirements of the SNMP and the OSI network management frameworks were more different than anticipated. As such, the requirement for compatibility
between the SMI/MIB and both frameworks was suspended. This action permitted the operational network management framework, the SNMP, to respond to new operational needs in the Internet community by producing this document.

As such, the current network management framework for TCP/IP- based internets consists of: Structure and Identification of


Page 4

Management Information for TCP/IP-based internets, RFC 1155 [13], which describes how managed objects contained in the MIB are defined; Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets (version 2), this memo, which describes the managed objects contained in the MIB; and, the Simple Network Management Protocol, RFC 1157 [14], which defines the protocol used to manage these objects.

Consistent with the IAB directive to produce simple, workable systems in the short-term, the list ofc objects (e.g., for BSD UNIX) were excluded.

7) It was agreed to avoid heavily instrumenting critical
sections of code. The general guideline was one counter per critical section per layer.

3. Changes from MIB-I

Features of this MIB include:

1) incremental additions to reflect new operational
requirements;

2) upwards compatibility with the SMI/MIB and the SNMP;

3) improved support for multi-protocol entities; and,

4) textual clean-up of the MIB to improve clarity and
readability.

The objects defined in MIB-II have the OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix:

               mib-2      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mgmt 1 }

3.1. Deprecated Objects

In order to better prepare implementors for future changes in the MIB, a new term "deprecated" may be used when describing an object. A deprecated object in the MIB is one which must be supported, but one which will most likely be removed from the next version of the MIB (e.g., MIB-III).

MIB-II marks one object as being deprecated:

atTable

As a result of deprecating the atTable object, the entire Address Translation group is deprecated.


Page 5

Note that no functionality is lost with the deprecation of these objects: new objects providing equivalent or superior functionality are defined in MIB-II.

3.2. Display Strings

In the past, there have been misinterpretations of the MIB as to when a string of octets should contain printable characters, meant to be displayed to a human. As a textual convention in the MIB, the datatype

                  DisplayString ::= OCTET STRING

is introduced. A DisplayString is restricted to the NVT ASCII character set, as defined in pages 10-11 of [7].

The following objects are now defined in terms of DisplayString:

sysDescr
ifDescr

It should be noted that this change has no effect on either the syntax nor semantics of these objects. The use of the DisplayString notation is merely an artifact of the explanatory method used in MIB-II and future MIBs.

Further, it should be noted that any object defined in terms of OCTET STRING may contain arbitrary binary data, in which each octet may take any value from 0 to 255 (decimal).

3.3. The System Group

Four new objects are added to this group:

sysContact
sysName
sysLocation
sysServices

These provide contact, administrative, location, and service information regarding the managed node.

3.4. The Interfaces Group

The definition of the ifNumber object was incorrect, as it required all interfaces to support IP. (For example, devices without IP, such as MAC-layer bridges, could not be managed if this definition was strictly followed.) The description of the ifNumber object is changed


Page 6

accordingly.

The ifTable object was mistaken marked as read-write, it has been (correctly) re-designated as read-only. In addition, several new values have been added to the ifType column in the ifTable object:

ppp(23)
softwareLoopback(24)
eon(25)
ethernet-3Mbit(26)
nsip(27)
slip(28)

Finally, a new column has been added to the ifTable object:

ifSpecific

which provides information about information specific to the media being used to realize the interface.

3.5. The Address Translation Group

In MIB-I, this group contained a table which permitted mappings from network addresses (e.g., IP addresses) to physical addresses (e.g., MAC addresses). Experience has shown that efficient implementations of this table make two assumptions: a single network protocol environment, and mappings occur only from network address to physical address.

The need to support multi-protocol nodes (e.g., those with both the IP and CLNP active), and the need to support the inverse mapping (e.g., for ES-IS), have invalidated both of these assumptions. As such, the atTable object is declared deprecated.

In order to meet both the multi-protocol and inverse mapping requirements, MIB-II and its successors will allocate up to two address translation tables inside each network protocol group. That is, the IP group will contain one address translation table, for going from IP addresses to physical addresses. Similarly, when a document defining MIB objects for the CLNP is produced (e.g., [8]), it will contain two tables, for mappings in both directions, as this is required for full functionality.

It should be noted that the choice of two tables (one for each direction of mapping) provides for ease of implementation in many cases, and does not introduce undue burden on implementations which realize the address translation abstraction through a single internal table.


Page 7

3.6. The IP Group

The access attribute of the variable ipForwarding has been changed from read-only to read-write.

In addition, there is a new column to the ipAddrTable object,

ipAdEntReasmMaxSize

which keeps track of the largest IP datagram that can be re- assembled on a particular interface. There is also a new column in the ipRoutingTable object,

ipRouteMask

which is used for IP routing subsystems that support arbitrary subnet masks.

One new object is added to the IP group:

ipNetToMediaTable

which is the address translation table for the IP group (providing identical functionality to the now deprecated atTable in the address translation group).

3.7. The ICMP Group

There are no changes to this group.

3.8. The TCP Group

Two new variables are added:

tcpInErrs
tcpOutRsts

which keep track of the number of incoming TCP segments in error and the number of resets generated by a TCP.

3.9. The UDP Group

A new table:

udpTable

is added.


Page 8

3.10. The EGP Group

Experience has indicated a need for additional objects that are useful in EGP monitoring. In addition to making several additions to the egpNeighborTable object, a new variable is added:

egpAs

which gives the autonomous system associated with this EGP entity.

3.11. The Transmission Group

MIB-I was lacking in that it did not distinguish between different types of transmission media. A new group, the Transmission group, is allocated for this purpose:

                  transmission OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 10 }

When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media are defined, the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for the names of those objects.

Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the MIB until they are "proven", then as a part of the Internet standardization process, the definitions are accordingly elevated and a new object identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By convention, the name assigned is:

                  type OBJECT IDENTIFIER    ::= { transmission number }

where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType column of the ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer value corresponding to the symbol.

3.12. The SNMP Group

The application-oriented working groups of the IETF have been tasked to be receptive towards defining MIB variables specific to their respective applications.

For the SNMP, it is useful to have statistical information. A new group, the SNMP group, is allocated for this purpose:

                  snmp   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 11 }

4. Objects

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed


Page 9

the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [9].

The mechanisms used for describing these objects are specified the companion memo, the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax, and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.

The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for this purpose. However, the companion memo purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made for simplicity.

The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type is represented when being transmitted on the network. This memo specifies the use of the basic encoding rules (BER) of ASN.1 [10], subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP [14].

4.1. Object Groups

Since this list of managed objects contains only the essential elements, there is no need to allow individual objects to be optional. Rather, the objects are arranged into the following groups:

                  - System
                  - Interfaces
                  - Address Translation (deprecated)
                  - IP
                  - ICMP
                  - TCP
                  - UDP
                  - EGP
                  - Transmission
                  - SNMP

There are two reasons for defining these groups: to provide a means of assigning object identifiers; and, to provide a method for implementations of managed agents to know which objects they must implement. This method is as follows: if the semantics of a group is applicable to an implementation, then it must implement all objects


Page 10

in that group. For example, an implementation must implement the EGP group if and only if it implements the EGP.

4.2. Format of Definitions

The next section contains the specification of all object types contained in the MIB. Following the conventions of the companion memo, the object types are defined using the following fields:

OBJECT:

      -------
           A textual name, termed the OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, for the
           object type, along with its corresponding OBJECT
           IDENTIFIER.

Syntax:
The abstract syntax for the object type, presented using ASN.1. This must resolve to an instance of the ASN.1 type ObjectSyntax defined in the SMI.

Definition:
A textual description of the semantics of the object type. Implementations should ensure that their
interpretation of the object type fulfills this
definition since this MIB is intended for use in multi- vendor environments. As such it is vital that object types have consistent meaning across all machines.

Access:
A keyword, one of read-only, read-write, write-only, or not-accessible. Note that this designation specifies the minimum level of support required. As a local matter, implementations may support other access types (e.g., an implementation may elect to permitting writing a variable marked herein as read-only). Further, protocol-specific "views" (e.g., those implied by an SNMP community) may make further restrictions on access to a variable.

Status:
A keyword, one of mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated. Use of deprecated implies mandatory status.

5.1. The System Group

Implementation of the System group is mandatory for all systems.

OBJECT:

          -------
               sysDescr { system 1 }

Syntax:

Definition:
The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management subsystem contained in the entity. This value is allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determining "what kind of box" is being managed. For example, if vendor "Flintstones, Inc." was assigned the subtree 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its "Fred Router".

Access:

Definition:
The time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized.

Access:
read-only.

Status:

Page 14

OBJECT:

          -------
               sysServices { system 7 }

Syntax:
INTEGER (0..127)

Definition:
A value which indicates the set of services that this entity potentially offers. The value is a sum. This sum initially takes the value zero, Then, for each layer, L, in the range 1 through 7, that this node performs transactions for, 2 raised to (L - 1) is added to the sum. For example, a node which performs only routing functions would have a value of 4 (2^(3-1)). In contrast, a node which is a host offering application services would have a value of 72 (2^(4-1) + 2^(7-1)). Note that in the context of the Internet suite of protocols, values should be calculated accordingly:

layer functionality

                    1      physical (e.g., repeaters)
                    2      datalink/subnetwork (e.g., bridges)
                    3      internet (e.g., supports the IP)
                    4      end-to-end  (e.g., supports the TCP)
                    7      applications (e.g., supports the SMTP)

For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6 may also be counted.

5.3. The Address Translation Group

Implementation of the Address Translation group is mandatory for all systems. Note however that this group is deprecated by MIB-II. That is, it is being included solely for compatibility with MIB-I nodes, and will most likely be excluded from MIB-III nodes. From MIB-II and onwards, each network protocol group contains its own address translation tables.

The Address Translation group contains one table which is the union across all interfaces of the translation tables for converting a NetworkAddress (e.g., an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific address. For lack of a better term, this document refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a "physical" address.

Examples of such translation tables are: for broadcast media where ARP is in use, the translation table is equivalent to the ARP cache; or, on an X.25 network where non-algorithmic translation to X.121 addresses is required, the translation table contains the NetworkAddress to X.121 address equivalences.

OBJECT:

          -------
               atTable { at 1 }

Syntax:
SEQUENCE OF AtEntry

Definition:
The Address Translation tables contain the NetworkAddress to "physical" address equivalences. Some interfaces do not use translation tables for determining address equivalences (e.g., DDN-X.25 has an algorithmic method); if all interfaces are of this type, then the Address Translation table is empty, i.e., has zero entries.

Access:
read-write.

OBJECT:

          -------
               atIfIndex { atEntry 1 }

Syntax:
INTEGER

Definition:
The interface on which this entry's equivalence is effective. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex.

Access:

OBJECT:

          -------
               atPhysAddress { atEntry 2 }

Syntax:
OCTET STRING

Definition:
The media-dependent "physical" address.

Setting this object to a null string (one of zero length) has the effect of invaliding the corresponding entry in the atTable object. That is, it effectively disassociates the interface identified with said entry from the mapping identified with said entry. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant atPhysAddress object.

We now consider the individual components of each route in the IP Routing table:

OBJECT:

          -------
               ipRouteDest { ipRouteEntry 1 }

Syntax:
IpAddress

Definition:
The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.

}

Definition:
The type of route.

Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipRoutingTable object. That is, it effectively disassociates the destination identified with said entry from the route identified with said entry. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant ipRouteType object.

Syntax:
IpAddress


Page 48

Definition:
Indicate the mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value of the ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the correspondent ipRouteDest field belong to a class-A, B, or C network, and then using one of:

                    mask           network
                    255.0.0.0      class-A
                    255.255.0.0    class-B
                    255.255.255.0  class-C

If the value of the ipRouteDest is 0.0.0.0 (a default route), then the mask value is also 0.0.0.0. It should be noted that all IP routing subsystems implicitly use this mechanism.

Access:

5.4.3. The IP Address Translation table

The Address Translation tables contain the IpAddress to "physical" address equivalences. Some interfaces do not use translation tables for determining address equivalences (e.g., DDN-X.25 has an algorithmic method); if all interfaces are of this type, then the Address Translation table is empty, i.e., has zero entries.

5.9. The Transmission Group

Based on the transmission media underlying each interface on a system, the corresponding portion of the Transmission group is mandatory for that system.

When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media are defined, the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for the names of those objects.

Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the MIB until they are "proven", then as a part of the Internet standardization process, the definitions are accordingly elevated and a new object identifier, under the transmission group is defined. By convention, the name assigned is:

               type OBJECT IDENTIFIER    ::= { transmission number }

where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType column of the ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer value corresponding to the symbol.

7. Identification of OBJECT instances for use with the SNMP

The names for all object types in the MIB are defined explicitly either in the Internet-standard MIB or in other documents which conform to the naming conventions of the SMI. The SMI requires that conformant management protocols define mechanisms for identifying individual instances of those object types for a particular network element.

Each instance of any object type defined in the MIB is identified in SNMP operations by a unique name called its "variable name." In general, the name of an SNMP variable is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form x.y, where x is the name of a non-aggregate object type defined


Page 127

in the MIB and y is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER fragment that, in a way specific to the named object type, identifies the desired instance.

This naming strategy admits the fullest exploitation of the semantics of the powerful SNMP get-next operator, because it assigns names for related variables so as to be contiguous in the lexicographical ordering of all variable names known in the MIB.

The type-specific naming of object instances is defined below for a number of classes of object types. Instances of an object type to which none of the following naming conventions are applicable are named by OBJECT IDENTIFIERs of the form x.0, where x is the name of said object type in the MIB definition.

For example, suppose one wanted to identify an instance of the variable sysDescr. The object class for sysDescr is:

iso org dod internet mgmt mib system sysDescr

              1   3   6     1      2    1    1       1

Hence, the object type, x, would be 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 to which is appended an instance sub-identifier of 0. That is, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 identifies the one and only instance of sysDescr.

7.1. ifTable Object Type Names

The name of a subnetwork interface, s, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value of the form i, where i has the value of that instance of the ifIndex object type associated with s. For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of ifEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.s, where s is the name of the subnetwork interface about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to identify the instance of the variable ifType associated with interface 2. Accordingly, ifType.2 would identify the desired instance.

7.2. atTable Object Type Names

The name of an address translation entry, x, is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form s.1.a.b.c.d, such that s is the value of that instance of the atIfIndex object type associated with x, the subidentifer "1" signifies the translation of an IP protocol address, and a.b.c.d is the IP address value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the atNetAddress object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of atEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of


Page 128

the form n.y, where y is the name of the address translation entry about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the physical address of an entry in the address translation table (ARP cache) associated with an IP address of 89.1.1.42 and interface 3. Accordingly,
atPhysAddress.3.1.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired instance.

7.3. ipAddrTable Object Type Names

The name of an IP-addressable network element, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the ipAdEntAddr object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of ipAddrEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the IP- addressable network element about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the network mask of an entry in the IP interface table associated with an IP address of 89.1.1.42. Accordingly, ipAdEntNetMask.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired instance.

At the option of the agent, multiple entries for the same IP address may be visible. To realize this, the agent, while required to return a single entry for an IP address, x, of the form n.y, may also return information about other entries for the same IP address using the form n.y.z, where z is a implementation-dependendent small, non- negative integer. It is strongly recommended that the value of z correspond to the value of ipAddrIfIndex for that entry.

7.4. ipRoutingTable Object Type Names

The name of an IP route, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the ipRouteDest object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of ipRoutingEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the IP route about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the next hop of an entry in the IP routing table associated with the destination of 89.1.1.42. Accordingly, ipRouteNextHop.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired


Page 129

instance.

At the option of the agent, multiple routes to the same destination may be visible. To realize this, the agent, while required to return a single entry for an IP route, x, of the form n.y, may also return information about other routes to the same destination using the form n.y.z, where z is a implementation-dependendent small, non-negative integer.

7.5. ipNetToMediaTable Object Type Names

The name of a cached IP address, x, is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form s.a.b.c.d, such that s is the value of that instance of the ipNetToMediaIfIndex object type associated with the entry and a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of the
ipNetToMediaNetAddress object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of ipNetToMediaEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the cached IP address about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the media address of an entry in the address translation table associated with a IP address of 192.52.180.1 and interface 3. Accordingly,
ipNetToMediaPhysAddress.3.192.52.180.1 would identify the desired instance.

7.6. tcpConnTable Object Type Names

The name of a TCP connection, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the tcpConnLocalAddress object type associated with x and such that f.g.h.i is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the tcpConnRemoteAddress object type associated with x and such that e is the value of that instance of the tcpConnLocalPort object type associated with x and such that j is the value of that instance of the tcpConnRemotePort object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of tcpConnEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the TCP connection about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the state of a TCP connection between the local address of 89.1.1.42 on TCP port 21 and the remote address of 10.0.0.51 on TCP port 2059. Accordingly,


Page 130

tcpConnState.89.1.1.42.21.10.0.0.51.2059 would identify the desired instance.

7.7. udpTable Object Type Names

The name of a UDP listener, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d.e. such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the udpLocalAddress object type associated with x and such that e is the value of that instance of the udpLocalPort object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of udpEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the UDP listener about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to determine if a UDP listener was present at the local address of 89.1.1.42 on UDP port 21. Accordingly, a successful retrieval of either
udpLocalAddress.89.1.1.42.21 or udpLocalPort.89.1.1.42.21 would indicate this.

7.8. egpNeighTable Object Type Names

The name of an EGP neighbor, x, is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form a.b.c.d such that a.b.c.d is the value (in the familiar "dot" notation) of that instance of the egpNeighAddr object type associated with x.

For each object type, t, for which the defined name, n, has a prefix of egpNeighEntry, an instance, i, of t is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the form n.y, where y is the name of the EGP neighbor about which i represents information.

For example, suppose one wanted to find the neighbor state for the IP address of 89.1.1.42. Accordingly, egpNeighState.89.1.1.42 would identify the desired instance.
