This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo defines a MIB for use with managing host systems. The term "host" is construed to mean any computer that communicates with other similar computers attached to the internet and that is directly used by one or more human beings. Although this MIB does not necessarily apply to devices whose primary function is communications services (e.g., terminal servers, routers, bridges, monitoring equipment), such relevance is not explicitly precluded. This MIB instruments attributes common to all internet hosts including, for example, both personal computers and systems that run variants of Unix.

The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are:
STD 16, RFC 1155 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD 16, RFC 1212 [2] defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
STD 17, RFC 1213 [3] which defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
STD 15, RFC 1157 [4] which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Within a given MIB module, objects are defined using STD 16, RFC 1212's OBJECT-TYPE macro. At a minimum, each object has a name, a syntax, an access-level, and an implementation-status.
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[5] language is used for this purpose. However, RFC 1155 purposely restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made for simplicity.
The access-level of an object type defines whether it makes "protocol sense" to read and/or write the value of an instance of the object type. (This access-level is independent of any administrative authorization policy.)
The implementation-status of an object type indicates whether the object is mandatory, optional, obsolete, or deprecated.
The Host Resources MIB defines a uniform set of objects useful for the management of host computers. Host computers are independent of the operating system, network services, or any software application.
The Host Resources MIB defines objects which are common across many computer system architectures.
In addition, there are objects in MIB-II [3] which also provide host management functionality. Implementation of the System and Interfaces groups is mandatory for implementors of the Host Resources MIB.
-- a truth value Boolean ::= INTEGER { true(1), false(2) }
-- memory size, expressed in units of 1024bytes KBytes ::= INTEGER (0..2147483647)
-- This textual convention is intended to identify the manufacturer, -- model, and version of a specific hardware or software product. -- It is suggested that these OBJECT IDENTIFIERs are allocated such -- that all products from a particular manufacturer are registered -- under a subtree distinct to that manufacturer. In addition, all
Grillo & Waldbusser [Page 3]
RFC 1514 Host Resources MIB September 1993
-- versions of a product should be registered under a subtree -- distinct to that product. With this strategy, a management -- station may uniquely determine the manufacturer and/or model of a -- product whose productID is unknown to the management station. -- Objects of this type may be useful for inventory purposes or for -- automatically detecting incompatibilities or version mismatches -- between various hardware and software components on a system. ProductID ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER -- unknownProduct will be used for any unknown ProductID -- unknownProduct OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 0 0 }
-- For example, the product ID for the ACME 4860 66MHz clock doubled -- processor might be: -- enterprises.acme.acmeProcessors.a4860DX2.MHz66 -- A software product might be registered as: -- enterprises.acme.acmeOperatingSystems.acmeDOS.six(6).one(1)

InternationalDisplayString ::= OCTET STRING -- This data type is used to model textual information in some -- character set. A network management station should use a local -- algorithm to determine which character set is in use and how it -- should be displayed. Note that this character set may be encoded -- with more than one octet per symbol, but will most often be NVT

The amount of storage represented in an entity is the amount actually usable by the requesting entity, and excludes loss due to formatting or file system reference information.
These entries are associated with logical storage areas, as might be seen by an application, rather than physical storage entities which are typically seen by an operating system. Storage such as tapes and floppies without file systems on them are typically not allocated in chunks by the operating system to requesting applications, and therefore shouldn't appear in this table. Examples of valid storage for this table include disk partitions, file systems, ram (for some architectures this is further segmented into regular memory, extended memory, and so on), backing store for virtual memory (`swap space').
This table is intended to be a useful diagnostic for `out of memory' and `out of buffers' types of failures. In addition, it can be a useful performance monitoring tool for tracking memory, disk, or buffer usage."

-- The Host Resources Installed Software Group -- -- Implementation of this group is optional. -- -- The hrSWInstalledTable contains an entry for each piece -- of software installed in long-term storage (e.g. a disk -- drive) locally on this host. Note that this does not -- include software loadable remotely from a network -- server. -- -- This table is useful for identifying and inventorying -- software on a host and for diagnosing incompatibility -- and version mismatch problems between various pieces -- of hardware and software.
hrSWInstalledLastChange OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TimeTicks ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The value of sysUpTime when an entry in the hrSWInstalledTable was last added, renamed, or deleted. Because this table is likely to contain many entries, polling of this object allows a management station to determine when re-downloading of the table might be useful." ::= { hrSWInstalled 1 }
hrSWInstalledLastUpdateTime OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TimeTicks ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The value of sysUpTime when the hrSWInstalledTable was last completely updated. Because caching of this data will be a popular implementation strategy, retrieval of this object allows a management station to obtain a guarantee that no data in this table is older than the indicated time." ::= { hrSWInstalled 2 }
hrSWInstalledTable OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF HrSWInstalledEntry ACCESS not-accessible STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The (conceptual) table of software installed on

this host." ::= { hrSWInstalled 3 }
hrSWInstalledEntry OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX HrSWInstalledEntry ACCESS not-accessible STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "A (conceptual) entry for a piece of software installed on this host.
As an example of how objects in this table are named, an instance of the hrSWInstalledName object might be named hrSWInstalledName.96" INDEX { hrSWInstalledIndex } ::= { hrSWInstalledTable 1 }
hrSWInstalledIndex OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER (1..2147483647) ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "A unique value for each piece of software installed on the host. This value shall be in the range from 1 to the number of pieces of software installed on the host." ::= { hrSWInstalledEntry 1 }
hrSWInstalledName OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InternationalDisplayString (SIZE (0..64)) ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "A textual description of this installed piece of software, including the manufacturer, revision, the name by which it is commonly known, and optionally, its serial number." ::= { hrSWInstalledEntry 2 }
hrSWInstalledID OBJECT-TYPE
