TRANSPORT-ADDRESS-MIB

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Denotes a generic transport address. A TransportAddress value is always interpreted within the context of a TransportAddressType or TransportDomain value. Every usage of the TransportAddress textual convention MUST specify the TransportAddressType or TransportDomain object which provides the context. Furthermore, MIB authors SHOULD define a separate TransportAddressType or TransportDomain object for each TransportAddress object. It is suggested that the TransportAddressType or TransportDomain is logically registered before the object(s) which use the TransportAddress textual convention if they appear in the same logical row. The value of a TransportAddress object must always be consistent with the value of the associated TransportAddressType or TransportDomain object. Attempts to set a TransportAddress object to a value which is inconsistent with the associated TransportAddressType or TransportDomain must fail with an inconsistentValue error. When this textual convention is used as a syntax of an index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128 sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case, the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a DNS domain name followed by a colon ':' (ASCII character 0x3A) and a port number in ASCII. The name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible. Values of this textual convention are not directly useable as transport-layer addressing information, and require runtime resolution. As such, applications that write them must be prepared for handling errors if such values are not supported, or cannot be resolved (if resolution occurs at the time of the management operation). The DESCRIPTION clause of TransportAddress objects that may have TransportAddressDns values must fully describe how (and when) such names are to be resolved to IP addresses and vice versa. This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair. When this textual convention is used as a syntax of an index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128 sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case, the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a transport address consisting of an IPv4 address and a port number (as used for example by UDP, TCP and SCTP): octets contents encoding 1-4 IPv4 address network-byte order 5-6 port number network-byte order This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a transport address consisting of an IPv4 address, a zone index and a port number (as used for example by UDP, TCP and SCTP): octets contents encoding 1-4 IPv4 address network-byte order 5-8 zone index network-byte order 9-10 port number network-byte order This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a transport address consisting of an IPv6 address and a port number (as used for example by UDP, TCP and SCTP): octets contents encoding 1-16 IPv6 address network-byte order 17-18 port number network-byte order This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a transport address consisting of an IPv6 address, a zone index and a port number (as used for example by UDP, TCP and SCTP): octets contents encoding 1-16 IPv6 address network-byte order 17-20 zone index network-byte order 21-22 port number network-byte order This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

Represents a POSIX Local IPC transport address: octets contents encoding all POSIX Local IPC address string The Posix Local IPC transport domain subsumes UNIX domain sockets. This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format. However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in conjunction with TransportAddressType or TransportDomain as a pair. When this textual convention is used as a syntax of an index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128 sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case, the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

A value that represents a transport domain. This is the enumerated version of the transport domain registrations in this MIB module. The enumerated values have the following meaning: unknown(0) unknown transport address type udpIpv4(1) transportDomainUdpIpv4 udpIpv6(2) transportDomainUdpIpv6 udpIpv4z(3) transportDomainUdpIpv4z udpIpv6z(4) transportDomainUdpIpv6z tcpIpv4(5) transportDomainTcpIpv4 tcpIpv6(6) transportDomainTcpIpv6 tcpIpv4z(7) transportDomainTcpIpv4z tcpIpv6z(8) transportDomainTcpIpv6z sctpIpv4(9) transportDomainSctpIpv4 sctpIpv6(10) transportDomainSctpIpv6 sctpIpv4z(11) transportDomainSctpIpv4z sctpIpv6z(12) transportDomainSctpIpv6z local(13) transportDomainLocal udpDns(14) transportDomainUdpDns tcpDns(15) transportDomainTcpDns sctpDns(16) transportDomainSctpDns This textual convention can be used to represent transport domains in situations where a syntax of TransportDomain is unwieldy (for example, when used as an index). The usage of this textual convention implies that additional transport domains can only be supported by updating this MIB module. This extensibility restriction does not apply for the TransportDomain textual convention which allows MIB authors to define additional transport domains independently in other MIB modules.
