These guidelines have been updated by an IESG approved document: "RFC 4181 Update to Recognize the IETF Trust [RFC4841, BCP111]". For your convenience: [wiki:mib-boilerplate Boilerplate for MIB documents] [[BR]] [wiki:mib-security Guidelines for a MIB security section] [[BR]] [wiki:mib-common-tcs Generic and Common Textual Conventions][[BR]] [wiki:mib-review-tools MIB review tools] [[BR]] There is a text template you can use to start a document containing a MIB module that helps you meet many of the requirements listed in RFC4181 "Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of MIB Documents" and also is designed to meet the preferences of the MIB Doctors for section ordering and naming to simplify automated checking. See [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5249.txt RFC 5249 - Templates for Internet-Drafts Containing MIB Modules] The XML source for generating the text template with the [http://xml.resource.org/ xml2rfc] tool is also available. The XML source includes additional comments that can help an author fill in the various sections appropriately using an XML editor. The XML source is contained in An XML Template for Documents Containing a MIB Module. Viewing the XML source in your XML editor may require having an rfc2629.dtd from xml.resource.org. Updated templates (June 2013), by David B. Harrington, can be found [https://tools.ietf.org/ "here"].[[BR]] The MIB Doctors have produced three templates specifically aimed at drafts containing MIB modules:[[BR]] • The first is an [https://tools.ietf.org/tools/templates/mib-doc-template-xml.txt "XML template for editors that use XML2RFC"]. Some advice echoing guidelines from RFC4181 is embedded in comments.[[BR]] • A second template is a [https://tools.ietf.org/tools/templates/mib-doc-template-advice.txt "text template for MIB documents with advice embedded"] in the document.[[BR]] • A third template is [https://tools.ietf.org/tools/templates/mib-doc-template-plain.txt "a plain text template with no advice included"].[[BR]] === YANG Guidelines === In forthcoming YANG reviews the YANG Doctors will be applying the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6087 Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of YANG Data Model Documents (RFC 6087)].
