            To support future extensions, the InetAddressType textual
            convention SHOULD NOT be sub-typed in object type definitions.
            It MAY be sub-typed in compliance statements in order to
            require only a subset of these address types for a compliant
            implementation.
            
            Implementations must ensure that InetAddressType objects
            and any dependent objects (e.g., InetAddress objects) are
            consistent.  An inconsistentValue error must be generated
            if an attempt to change an InetAddressType object would,
            for example, lead to an undefined InetAddress value.  In
            
            particular, InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs must be
            changed together if the address type changes (e.g., from

Description

 
This MIB module defines textual conventions for
representing Internet addresses.  An Internet
address can be an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address,
or a DNS domain name.  This module also defines
textual conventions for Internet port numbers,
autonomous system numbers, and the length of an
Internet address prefix.

Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2005).  This version
of this MIB module is part of RFC 4001, see the RFC
itself for full legal notices.

Typedefs

Typedef Base type Abstract
InetAddress binary Denotes a generic Internet address. An InetAddress value is always interpreted within the context of an InetAddressType value. Every usage of the InetAddress textual convention is required to specify the InetAddressType object that provides the context....
InetAddressDNS string Represents a DNS domain name. The name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible. The corresponding InetAddressType is dns(16). The DESCRIPTION clause of InetAddress objects that may have InetAddressDNS values MUST fully describe how (and when) these...
InetAddressIPv4 string Represents an IPv4 network address: Octets Contents Encoding 1-4 IPv4 address network-byte order The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv4(1). This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions, as it res...
InetAddressIPv4z string Represents a non-global IPv4 network address, together with its zone index: Octets Contents Encoding 1-4 IPv4 address network-byte order 5-8 zone index network-byte order The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv...
InetAddressIPv6 string Represents an IPv6 network address: Octets Contents Encoding 1-16 IPv6 address network-byte order The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv6(2). This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions, as it res...
InetAddressIPv6z string Represents a non-global IPv6 network address, together with its zone index: Octets Contents Encoding 1-16 IPv6 address network-byte order 17-20 zone index network-byte order The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv...
InetAddressPrefixLength uint32 Denotes the length of a generic Internet network address prefix. A value of n corresponds to an IP address mask that has n contiguous 1-bits from the most significant bit (MSB), with all other bits set to 0. An InetAddressPrefixLength value is always in...
InetAddressType enumeration A value that represents a type of Internet address. unknown(0) An unknown address type. This value MUST be used if the value of the corresponding InetAddress object is a zero-length string. It may also be used to indicate an IP address ...
InetAutonomousSystemNumber uint32 Represents an autonomous system number that identifies an Autonomous System (AS). An AS is a set of routers under a single technical administration, using an interior gateway protocol and common metrics to route packets within the AS, and using an exteri...
InetPortNumber uint32 Represents a 16 bit port number of an Internet transport layer protocol. Port numbers are assigned by IANA. A current list of all assignments is available from <http://www.iana.org/>. The value zero is object-specific and must be defined as part of th...
InetScopeType enumeration Represents a scope type. This textual convention can be used in cases where a MIB has to represent different scope types and there is no context information, such as an InetAddress object, that implicitly defines the scope type. Note that not all possib...
InetVersion enumeration A value representing a version of the IP protocol. unknown(0) An unknown or unspecified version of the IP protocol. ipv4(1) The IPv4 protocol as defined in RFC 791 (STD 5). ipv6(2) The IPv6 protocol as defined in RFC 2460. Note that this...
InetZoneIndex uint32 A zone index identifies an instance of a zone of a specific scope. The zone index MUST disambiguate identical address values. For link-local addresses, the zone index will typically be the interface index (ifIndex as defined in the IF-MIB) of the interf...
