Title : URI Scheme for SNMP

SNMP and the Internet-Standard Management Framework are widely
used for management of communication devices. When out-of-band IP
management is used via a separate management interface (e.g., for
a device that does not support in-band IP access), there is a need
for a uniform way to indicate how to contact the device for
management. URLs fit this need well, as they allow a single text
string to indicate a management point of contact for a wide
variety of IP-based protocols. This document defines a simple URI
scheme so that SNMP can be designated as the protocol used for
management.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-black-snmp-uri-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
