1. Introduction
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 network interfaces
based on IEEE 802.12.
Flick Standards Track [Page 1]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
2. Object Definitions
Management information is viewed as a collection of managed objects,
residing in a virtual information store, termed the Management
Information Base (MIB). Collections of related objects are defined
in MIB modules. MIB modules are written using a subset of Abstract
Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [1] termed the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) [2]. In particular, each object type is named by
an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. 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 descriptor, to refer to the
object type.
3. Overview
Instances of these object types represent attributes of an interface
to an IEEE 802.12 communications medium. At present, IEEE 802.12
media are identified by one value of the ifType object in the
Internet-standard MIB:
ieee80212(55)
For this interface, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the MIB-
II [5] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value:
dot12MIB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission 45 }
The values for the ifType object are defined by the IANAifType
textual convention. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
is responsible for the assignment of all Internet numbers, including
new ifType values. Therefore, IANA is responsible for maintaining
the definition of this textual convention. The current definition of
the IANAifType textual convention is available from IANA's World Wide
Web server at:
http://www.iana.org/iana/
The definitions presented here are based on the IEEE Standard
802.12-1995, [6] Clause 13 "Layer management functions and services",
and Annex C "GDMO Specifications for Demand Priority Managed
Objects". 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.
Flick Standards Track [Page 2]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
To the extent that some of the attributes defined in [6] are
represented by previously defined objects in the Internet-standard
MIB [5] or in the Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II [7],
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 MAC address of an interface, and multicast
information associated with an interface.
3.1. MAC Addresses
All representations of MAC addresses in this MIB module, and in other
related MIB modules (like RFC 1573), are in "canonical" order defined
by 802.1a, i.e., as if it were transmitted least significant bit
first. This is true even if the interface is operating in token ring
framing mode, which requires MAC addresses to be transmitted most
significant bit first.
3.2. Relation to RFC 1213
This section applies only when this MIB is used in conjunction with
the "old" (i.e., pre-RFC 1573) interface group.
The relationship between an IEEE 802.12 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.
3.3. Relation to RFC 1573
RFC 1573, the Interface MIB Evolution, requires that any MIB which is
an adjunct of the Interface MIB, clarify specific areas within the
Interface MIB. These areas are intentionally left vague in RFC 1573
to avoid over constraining the MIB, thereby precluding management of
certain media-types.
An agent which implements this MIB module must support the
ifGeneralGroup, ifStackGroup, ifHCPacketGroup, and ifRcvAddressGroup
of RFC 1573.
Section 3.3 of RFC 1573 enumerates several areas which a media-
specific MIB must clarify. In addition, there are some objects in
RFC 1573 for which additional clarification of how to apply them to
an IEEE 802.12 interface would be helpful. Each of these areas is
addressed in a following subsection. The implementor is referred to
RFC 1573 in order to understand the general intent of these areas.
Flick Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
3.3.1. Layering Model
For the typical usage of this MIB module, there will be no sub-layers
"above" or "below" the 802.12 Interface. However, this MIB module
does not preclude such layering.
3.3.2. Virtual Circuits
This medium does not support virtual circuits and this area is not
applicable to this MIB.
3.3.3. ifTestTable
This MIB does not define any tests for media instrumented by this
MIB. Implementation of the ifTestTable is not required. An
implementation may optionally implement the ifTestTable to execute
vendor specific tests.
3.3.4. ifRcvAddressTable
This table contains all IEEE addresses, unicast, multicast, and
broadcast, for which this interface will receive packets and forward
them up to a higher layer entity for consumption. In addition, when
the interface is using 802.5 framing mode, the ifRcvAddressTable will
contain the functional address mask.
In the event that the interface is part of a MAC bridge, this table
does not include unicast addresses which are accepted for possible
forwarding out some other port. This table is explicitly not
intended to provide a bridge address filtering mechanism.
3.3.5. ifPhysAddress
This object contains the IEEE 802.12 address which is placed in the
source-address field of any frames that originate at this interface.
Usually this will be kept in ROM on the interface hardware. Some
systems may set this address via software.
In a system where there are several such addresses the designer has a
tougher choice. The address chosen should be the one most likely to
be of use to network management (e.g. the address placed in ARP
responses for systems which are primarily IP systems).
If the designer truly can not choose, use of the factory-provided ROM
address is suggested.
If the address can not be determined, an octet string of zero length
should be returned.
Flick Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
The address is stored in binary in this object. The address is
stored in "canonical" bit order, that is, the Group Bit is positioned
as the low-order bit of the first octet. Thus, the first byte of a
multicast address would have the bit 0x01 set. This is true even
when the interface is using token ring framing mode, which transmits
addresses high-order bit first.
3.3.6. Specific Interface MIB Objects
The following table provides specific implementation guidelines for
the interface group objects in the conformance groups listed above.
Object Use for an 802.12 Interface
ifIndex Each 802.12 interface is represented by an
ifEntry. Interface tables in this MIB
module are indexed by ifIndex.
ifDescr Refer to [7].
ifType The IANA reserved value for 802.12 - 55.
ifMtu The value of ifMtu on an 802.12 interface
will depend on the type of framing that is
in use on that interface. Changing the
dot12DesiredFramingType may have the effect
of changing ifMtu after the next time that
the interface trains. When
dot12CurrentFramingType is equal to
frameType88023, ifMtu will be equal to
1500. When dot12CurrentFramingType is
equal to frameType88025, ifMtu will be
4464.
ifSpeed The speed of the interface in bits per
second. For current 802.12
implementations, this will be equal to
100,000,000 (100 million).
ifPhysAddress See Section 3.3.5.
Flick Standards Track [Page 5]

RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
ifAdminStatus Write access is not required. Support for
'testing' is not required. Setting this
object to 'up' will cause dot12Commands to
be set to 'open'. Setting this object to
'down' will cause dot12Commands to be set
to 'close'. Setting dot12Commands to
'open' will set this object to 'up'.
Setting dot12Commands to 'close' will set
this object to 'down'. Setting
dot12Commands to 'reset' will have no
effect on this object.
ifOperStatus When dot12Status is equal to 'opened', this
object will be equal to 'up'. When
dot12Status is equal to 'closed', 'opening',
'openFailure' or 'linkFailure', this object
will be equal to 'down'. Support for
'testing' is not required, but may be used
to indicate that a vendor specific test is
in progress. The value 'dormant' has no
meaning for an IEEE 802.12 interface.
ifLastChange Refer to [7].
ifInOctets The number of octets in valid MAC frames
received on this interface, including the
MAC header and FCS.
ifInUcastPkts Refer to [7].
ifInDiscards Refer to [7].
ifInErrors The sum for this interface of
dot12InIPMErrors,
dot12InOversizeFrameErrors,
dot12InDataErrors, and any additional
internal errors that may occur in an
implementation.
ifInUnknownProtos Refer to [7].
ifOutOctets The number of octets transmitted in MAC
frames on this interface, including the MAC
header and FCS.
ifOutUcastPkts Refer to [7].
ifOutDiscards Refer to [7].
Flick Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
ifOutErrors The number of implementation-specific
internal transmit errors on this interface.
ifName Locally-significant textual name for the
interface (e.g. vg0).
ifInMulticastPkts Refer to [7]. When dot12CurrentFramingType
is frameType88025, this count includes
packets addressed to functional addresses.
ifInBroadcastPkts Refer to [7].
ifOutMulticastPkts Refer to [7]. When dot12CurrentFramingType
is frameType88025, this count includes
packets addressed to functional addresses.
ifOutBroadcastPkts Refer to [7].
ifHCInOctets 64-bit version of ifInOctets.
ifHCOutOctets 64-bit version of ifOutOctets
ifHC*Pkts Not required for 100 MBit interfaces.
Future IEEE 802.12 interfaces which operate
at higher speeds may require implementation
of these counters, but such interfaces are
beyond the scope of this memo.
ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable Refer to [7]. Default is 'enabled'.
ifHighSpeed The speed of the interface in millions of
bits per second. For current 802.12
implementations, this will be equal to 100.
ifPromiscuousMode Reflects whether the interface has
successfully trained and is currently
operating in promiscuous mode.
dot12DesiredPromiscStatus is used to select
the promiscuous mode to be requested in the
next training attempt. Setting
ifPromiscuousMode will update
dot12DesiredPromiscStatus and cause the
interface to attempt to retrain using the
new promiscuous mode. After the interface
has retrained, ifPromiscuousMode will
reflect the mode that is in use, not the
mode that was requested.

ifConnectorPresent This will normally be 'true'.
ifStackHigherLayer Refer to section 3.3.1
ifStackLowerLayer

ifRcvAddressType
3.4. Relation to RFC 1643, RFC 1650, and RFC 1748
An IEEE 802.12 interface can be configured to operate in either
ethernet or token ring framing mode. An IEEE 802.12 interface uses
the frame format for the configured framing mode, but does not use
the media access protocol for ethernet or token ring. Instead, IEEE
802.12 defines its own media access protocol, the Demand Priority
Access Method (DPAM).
There are existing standards-track MIB modules for instrumenting
ethernet-like interfaces and token ring interfaces. At the time of
this writing, they are: STD 50, RFC 1643, "Definitions of Managed
Objects for Ethernet-like Interface Types" [8]; RFC 1650,
"Definitions of Managed Objects for Ethernet-like Interface Types
using SMIv2" [9]; and RFC 1748, "IEEE 802.5 MIB using SMIv2" [10].
These MIB modules are designed to instrument the media access
protocol for these respective technologies. Since IEEE 802.12
interfaces do not implement either of these media access protocols,
an agent should not implement RFC 1643, RFC 1650, or RFC 1748 for
IEEE 802.12 interfaces.
3.5. Relation to RFC 1749
When an IEEE 802.12 interface is operating in token ring framing
mode, and the end node supports token ring source routing, the agent
should implement RFC 1749, the IEEE 802.5 Station Source Routing MIB
[11] for those interfaces.
Flick Standards Track [Page 8]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
3.6. Master Mode Operation
In an IEEE 802.12 network, "master" devices act as network
controllers to decide when to grant requesting end-nodes permission
to transmit. These master devices may be repeaters, or other active
controller devices such as switches.
Devices which do not act as network controllers, such as end-nodes or
passive switches, are considered to be operating in "slave" mode.
The dot12ControlMode object indicates if the interface is operating
in master mode or slave mode.
3.7. Normal and High Priority Counters
The IEEE 802.12 interface MIB does not provide normal priority
transmit counters. Standardization of normal priority transmit
counters could not be justified -- ifOutUcastPkts,
ifOutMulticastPkts, ifOutBroadcastPkts, ifOutOctets,
dot12OutHighPriorityFrames, and dot12OutHighPriorityOctets should
suffice. More precisely, the number of normal priority frames
transmitted can be calculated as:
outNormPriorityFrames = ifOutUcastPkts +
ifOutMulticastPkts +
ifOutBroadcastPkts -
dot12OutHighPriorityFrames
The number of normal priority octets transmitted can be calculated
as:
outNormPriorityOctets = ifOutOctets -
dot12OutHighPriorityOctets
On the other hand, normal priority receive counters are provided.
The main reason for this is that the normal priority and high
priority counters include errored frames, whereas the ifIn*Pkts and
ifInOctets do not include errored frames. dot12InNormPriorityFrames
could be calculated, but the calculation is tedious:
inNormPriorityFrames = ifInUcastPkts +
ifInMulticastPkts +
ifInBroadcastPkts +
dot12InNullAddressedFrames +
ifInErrors +
ifInDiscards +
ifInUnknownProtos -
dot12InHighPriorityFrames
Flick Standards Track [Page 9]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
dot12InNormPriorityOctets includes octets in unreadable frames, which
is not available elsewhere. The number of octets in unreadable
frames can be calculated as:
octetsInUnreadableFrames = dot12InNormPriorityOctets +
dot12InHighPriorityOctets -
ifInOctets
Also, the total traffic at this interface can be calculated as:
traffic = dot12InNormPriorityOctets +
dot12InHighPriorityOctets +
ifOutOctets
In other words, the normal priority receive counters were deemed
useful, whereas the normal priority transmit counters can be easily
calculated from other available counters.
3.8. IEEE 802.12 Training Frames
Training frames are special MAC frames that are used only during link
initialization. Training frames are initially constructed by the
device at the lower end of a link, which is the slave mode device for
the link. The training frame format is as follows:
+----+----+------------+--------------+----------+-----+
| DA | SA | Req Config | Allow Config | Data | FCS |
+----+----+------------+--------------+----------+-----+
DA = destination address (six octets)
SA = source address (six octets)
Req Config = requested configuration (2 octets)
Allow Config = allowed configuration (2 octets)
Data = data (594 to 675 octets)
FCS = frame check sequence (4 octets)
Training frames are always sent with a null destination address. To
pass training, an end node must use its source address in the source
address field of the training frame. A repeater may use a non-null
source address if it has one, or it may use a null source address.
Flick Standards Track [Page 10]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
The requested configuration field allows the slave mode device to
inform the master mode device about itself and to request
configuration options. The training response frame from the master
mode device contains the slave mode device's requested configuration
from the training request frame. The currently defined format of the
requested configuration field as defined in the IEEE Standard
802.12-1995 standard is shown below. Please refer to the most
current version of the IEEE document for a more up to date
description of this field. In particular, the reserved bits may be
used in later versions of the standard.

The allowed configuration field allows the master mode device to
respond with the allowed configuration. The slave mode device sets
the contents of this field to all zero bits. The master mode device
sets the allowed configuration field as follows:

Again, note that the most recent version of the IEEE 802.12 standard
should be consulted for the most up to date definition of the
requested configuration and allowed configuration fields.
The data field contains between 594 and 675 octets and is filled in
by the training initiator. The first 55 octets may be used for
vendor specific protocol information. The remaining octets are all
zeros. The length of the training frame combined with the
requirement that 24 consecutive training frames be received without
error to complete training ensures that marginal links will not
complete training.

DESCRIPTION
"If the current value of dot12Status is 'closed',
setting the value of this object to 'open' will
change the corresponding instance of MIB-II's
ifAdminStatus to 'up', cause this interface to
enter the 'opening' state, and will cause training
to be initiated on this interface. The progress
and success of the open is given by the values of
the dot12Status object. Setting this object to
'open' when dot12Status has a value other than
'closed' has no effect.
Setting the corresponding instance of ifAdminStatus
to 'up' when the current value of dot12Status is
'closed' will have the same effect as setting this
object to 'open'. Setting ifAdminStatus to 'up'
when dot12Status has a value other than 'closed'
has no effect.
Setting the value of this object to 'close' will
move this interface into the 'closed' state and
cause all transmit and receive actions to stop.
This object will then have to be set to 'open' in
order to reinitiate training.
Setting the corresponding instance of ifAdminStatus
to 'down' will have the same effect as setting this
object to 'close'.
Setting the value of this object to 'reset' when
the current value of dot12Status has a value other
than 'closed' will reset the interface. On a
reset, all MIB counters should retain their values.

This will cause the MAC to initiate an
acInitializeMAC action as specified in IEEE 802.12.
This will cause training to be reinitiated on this

dot12Status has a value of 'closed' has no effect.
Setting this object to 'reset' has no effect on the

DESCRIPTION
"The current interface status with respect to
training. One of the following values:
opened - Training has completed
successfully.
closed - MAC has been disabled by
setting dot12Commands to
'close'.
opening - MAC is in training. Training
signals have been received.
openFailure - Passed 24 error-free packets,
but there is a problem, noted
in the training configuration
bits (dot12LastTrainingConfig).

RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
Whenever the dot12Commands object is set to
'close' or ifAdminStatus is set to 'down', the MAC
will go silent, dot12Status will be 'closed', and
ifOperStatus will be 'down'.
When the value of this object is equal to 'closed'
and the dot12Commands object is set to 'open' or
the ifAdminStatus object is set to 'up', training
will be initiated on this interface. When the
value of this object is not equal to 'closed' and
the dot12Commands object is set to 'reset',
training will be reinitiated on this interface.
Note that sets of some other objects (e.g.
dot12ControlMode) or external events (e.g. MAC
protocol violations) may also cause training to be
reinitiated on this interface.
When training is initiated or reinitiated on an
interface, the end node will send Training_Up to
the master and initially go to the 'linkFailure'
state and ifOperStatus will go to 'down'.
When the master sends back Training_Down,
dot12Status will change to the 'opening' state,
and training packets will be transferred.
After all of the training packets have been
passed, dot12Status will change to 'linkFailure'
if 24 consecutive error-free packets were not
passed, 'opened' if 24 consecutive error-free
packets were passed and the training
configuration bits were OK, or 'openFailure' if
there were 24 consecutive error-free packets, but
there was a problem with the training
configuration bits.
When in the 'openFailure' state, the
dot12LastTrainingConfig object will contain the
configuration bits from the last training
packet which can be examined to determine the
exact reason for the training configuration
failure.
If training did not succeed (dot12Status is
'linkFailure' or 'openFailure), the entire
process will be restarted after
MAC_Retraining_Delay_Timer seconds.
If training does succeed (dot12Status changes to
Flick Standards Track [Page 20]
^L
RFC 2020 IEEE 802.12 Interface MIB October 1996
'opened'), ifOperStatus will change to 'up'. If
training does not succeed (dot12Status changes to
'linkFailure' or 'openFailure'), ifOperStatus will
remain 'down'."

MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object is used to configure and report
whether or not this interface is operating in
master mode. In a Demand Priority network, end
node interfaces typically operate in slave mode,
while switch interfaces may control the Demand
Priority protocol and operate in master mode.
This object may be implemented as a read-only
object by those agents and interfaces that do not
implement software control of master mode. In
particular, interfaces that cannot operate in
master mode, and interfaces on which master mode
is controlled by a pushbutton on the device,
should implement this object read-only.
Some interfaces do not require network management
configuration of this feature and can autosense
whether to use master mode or slave mode. The
value 'learn' is used for that purpose. While
autosense is taking place, the value 'learn' is
returned.
A network management operation which modifies the
value of dot12ControlMode causes the interface
to retrain."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object is a count of the number of octets
contained in high priority frames that have been
received on this interface. This counter is
incremented by OctetCount for each frame received
on this interface which is counted by
dot12InHighPriorityFrames.
This counter is a 64 bit version of
dot12InHighPriorityOctets. It should be used by
Network Management protocols which support 64 bit
counters (e.g. SNMPv2)."
