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]. + + + + + + + +Kastenholz [Page 2] + +RFC 1398 Ethernet-Like MIB January 1993 + + +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. + + + + + + + + + + + +Kastenholz [Page 3] + +RFC 1398 Ethernet-Like MIB January 1993 + + +4.
