SNMP over
Status of This
This memo describes an experimental method by which the
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as specified in [1] can be
over Ethernet MAC layer framing [2] instead of the Internet UDP/
protocol stack. This specification is useful for LAN based
elements that support no higher layer protocols beyond the MAC sub
layer. Distribution of this memo is unlimited
Overview and
SNMP has been successful in managing Internet capable
elements which support the protocol stack at least through UDP
connectionless Internet transport layer protocol. As
designed, SNMP is capable of running over any reasonable
mechanism (not necessarily a transport protocol) that supports bi
directional flow and addressability
Many non-Internet capable network elements are present in
networks; for example, repeaters and wiring concentrators.
include both addressability, and programmable intelligence.
devices are widely used and increasingly important yet, for the
part, invisible except through proprietary mechanisms
Almost all Internet capable network elements use the same
for encapsulation of the Internet protocol stack regardless
conformity with the physical characteristics of Ethernet or 802.3,
this mechanism is specified in [3] and [4]. This
continues that style with the assignment (by XEROX) of 33100
(hexadecimal 814C) to the Ethernet Type field for SNMP. The
portion of the Ethernet frame would then be a standard SNMP
as specified in [1].

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
RFC documents can be found at I.E.T.F.
