+Status of this Memo
+
+ This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet

+ Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
+ Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
+ Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+ This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
+ for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
+ In particular, it defines objects for managing ethernet-like objects.

+1. The Network Management Framework
+
+ The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
+ components. They are:
+
+ STD 16/RFC 1155 [3] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
+ describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD
+ 16/RFC 1212 [13] defines a more concise description mechanism,
+ which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
+
+
+
+Kastenholz [Page 1]
+
+RFC 1398 Ethernet-Like MIB January 1993
+
+
+ RFC 1156 [4] which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects
+ for the Internet suite of protocols. STD 17/RFC 1213 [6] defines
+ MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience
+ and new operational requirements.
+
+ STD 15/RFC 1157 [5] 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.
+
+2. Objects
+
+ Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
+ the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
+ defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [7]
+ defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax,
+ and an encoding. 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 language is used for
+ this purpose. However, the SMI [3] purposely restricts the ASN.1
+ constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made
+ for simplicity.
+
+ The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is
+ represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the
+ notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type
+ is represented when being transmitted on the network.
+
+ The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8],
+ subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.
+
+2.1. Format of Definitions
+
+ Section 4 contains contains the specification of all object types
+ contained in this MIB module. The object types are defined using the
+ conventions defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions
+ specified in [13].
+
+

+
+
+3. Overview
+
+ Instances of these object types represent attributes of an interface
+ to an ethernet-like communications medium. At present, ethernet-like
+ media are identified by three values of the ifType object in the
+ Internet-standard MIB:
+
+ ethernet-csmacd(6)
+ iso88023-csmacd(7)
+ starLan(11)
+
+ For these interfaces, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the
+ MIB-II [6] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value:
+
+ dot3 OBJECT IDENTIFER ::= { transmission 7 }
+
+ The definitions presented here are based on the IEEE 802.3 Layer
+ Management Specification [9], as originally interpreted by Frank
+ Kastenholz of Interlan in [10]. Implementors of these MIB objects
+ should note that the IEEE document explicitly describes (in the form
+ of Pascal pseudocode) when, where, and how various MAC attributes are
+ measured. The IEEE document also describes the effects of MAC
+ actions that may be invoked by manipulating instances of the MIB
+ objects defined here.
+
+ To the extent that some of the attributes defined in [9] are
+ represented by previously defined objects in the Internet- standard
+ MIB or in the Generic Interface Extensions MIB [11], such attributes
+ are not redundantly represented by objects defined in this memo.
+ Among the attributes represented by objects defined in other memos
+ are the number of octets transmitted or received on a particular
+ interface, the number of frames transmitted or received on a
+ particular interface, the promiscuous status of an interface, the MAC
+ address of an interface, and multicast information associated with an
+ interface.
+
+ The relationship between an ethernet-like interface and an interface
+ in the context of the Internet-standard MIB is one-to-one. As such,
+ the value of an ifIndex object instance can be directly used to
+ identify corresponding instances of the objects defined herein.

+
+5. Change Log
+
+ (1) Replace old "Historical Perspective" boilerplate with the
+ new "The Network Management Framework" boilerplate.
+
+ (2) Remove the "slime text".
+
+ (3) Updated the reference to the Interface Extensions mib to
+ reflect its new RFC status.
+
+
+
+Kastenholz [Page 14]
+
+RFC 1398 Ethernet-Like MIB January 1993
+
+
+ (4) Change the status of the memo section to hold the new
+ suggested text.
+
+ (5) References in ASN.1 comments were changed from the [#]
+ form to name the actual document being referred to. These
+ references are now meaningful when the ASN.1 is read
+ outside of the RFC.
+
+ (6) The IMPORTS section of the ASN.1 has been updated to
+ reflect that the OBJECT-TYPE macro is imported from RFC-
+ 1212.
+
+ (7) The the Generic Ethernet-like group, containing
+ dot3Index, dot3InitializeMac, dot3MacSubLayerStatus,
+ dot3MulticastReceiveStatus, dot3TxEnabled, and
+ dot3TestTdrValue has been deprecated as a result of the
+ implementation experience presented at the San Diego IETF
+ meeting.
+
+ (8) dot3StatsInRangeLengthErrors and
+ dot3StatsOutOfRangeLengthFields have been deprecated as a
+ result of the implementation experience presented at the
+ San Diego IETF meeting.
+
+ (9) Update the acknowledgements section to reflect this
+ document's history, etc.
+
+ (10) REFERENCE clauses have been added to all of the MIB
+ objects which are being retained.
+
+ 12 August 1992
+
+ (1) Removed all deprecated objects.
+
+ (2) Rephrased the description of the TDR test OID to reflect
+ the fact that dot3TestTdrValue is no more.
+ ifExtnsTestResult still points to the object containing
+ the result, the text simply does not refer to
+ dot3TestTdrValue. I could have deleted the Test, but the
+ OID should then remain reserved. I figured that it would
+ be just as easy to rephrase the definition of the test.

+ This document is based on the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB, RFC
+ 1284 [14], of which John Cook of Chipcom was the editor. The
+ Ethernet MIB Working Group gathered implementation experience of the
+ variables specified in RFC 1284 and used that information to develop
+ this revised MIB.
+
+ RFC 1284, in turn, is based on a document written by Frank Kastenholz
+ of Interlan entitled IEEE 802.3 Layer Management Draft M compatible
+ MIB for TCP/IP Networks [10]. This document has been modestly
+ reworked, initially by the SNMP Working Group, and then by the
+ Transmission Working Group, to reflect the current conventions for
+ defining objects for MIB interfaces. James Davin, of the MIT
+ Laboratory for Computer Science, and Keith McCloghrie of Hughes LAN
+ Systems, contributed to later drafts of this memo. Marshall Rose of
+ Performance Systems International, Inc. converted the document into
+ its current concise format. Anil Rijsinghani of DEC contributed text
+ that more adequately describes the TDR test. Thanks to Frank
+ Kastenholz of Interlan and Louis Steinberg of IBM for their
+ experimentation.
