Debian OID hierarchy
Abstract
For a number of protocols it is necessary to have an IANA enterprise number. This document describes how the enterprise number assigned to Debian is used, and how to request assignments with the Debian enterprise space.
Introduction
Debian has been assigned private enterprise number 9586 by IANA. (The full list of assignments is available at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers>.) This number is used as the base for a hierarchy in the OID space for SNMP and X.500/LDAP as well as for other protocols such as RADIUS.
Requesting enterprise space
Packages and projects may request an entry in the Debian enterprise space by contacting debian-admin. An application has to have the following information:
- Name of the package or project
- Contact person and address
- Type usage (SNMP, X.500/LDAP, RADIUS, etc.)
- Section of OID space to be used. The OID space is currently divided in two sections:
- package: A section for Debian usage
- project: A section that is also used outside of Debian
OID Assignments
The root of the OID space is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586 or iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.Debian.
As of March 2009 this wiki page at https://dsa.debian.org/iana is the authoritative source of Debian OID information.
