Title : URI Scheme for SNMP

SNMP and the Internet-Standard Management Framework are widely
used for management of communication devices, creating needs to
specify SNMP access (including access to SNMP MIB object
instances) from non-SNMP management environments. For example,
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 access
communication endpoint 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. This scheme also
allows URI specification of individual MIB object instances.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-black-snmp-uri-02.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.
