The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the Internet Standard Management Framework are widely used for the management of communication devices@ creating a need 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)@ a uniform way to indicate how to contact the device for management is needed. Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) 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 URI scheme so that SNMP can be designated as the protocol used for management. The scheme also allows a URI to designate one or more MIB object instances.
