Definitions of Managed Objects for
the Ethernet-like Interface Types
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) 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 the Internet community.
This memo obsoletes RFC 1650 "Definitions of Managed Objects for the
Ethernet-like Interface Types using SMIv2". This memo extends that
specification by including management information useful for the
management of 100 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces.
Ethernet technology, as defined by the 802.3 Working Group of the
IEEE, continues to evolve, with scalable increases in speed, new
types of cabling and interfaces, and new features. This evolution
may require changes in the managed objects in order to reflect this
new functionality. This document, as with other documents issued by
this working group, reflect a certain stage in the evolution of
Ethernet technology. In the future, this document might be revised,
or new documents might be issued by the Ethernet Interfaces and Hub
MIB Working Group, in order to reflect the evolution of Ethernet
technology.

1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines objects for managing ethernet-like
interfaces.
This memo also includes a MIB module. This MIB module extends the
list of managed objects specified in the earlier version of this MIB:
RFC1650 [11].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [13].
2. The SNMP Network Management Framework
The SNMP Network Management Framework consists of several components.
For the purpose of this specification, the applicable components of
the Framework are the SMI and related documents [2, 3, 4], which
define the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the
purpose of management.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 2]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
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) [1]
defined in the SMI [2]. In particular, each object 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 ethernet-like communications medium. At present, ethernet-like
media are identified by the following values of the ifType object in
the Interfaces MIB [12]:
ethernetCsmacd(6)
iso88023Csmacd(7)
starLan(11)
The definitions presented here are based on the IEEE 802.3 Layer
Management Specification [5], as originally interpreted by Frank
Kastenholz then of Interlan in [7]. 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 [5] are
represented by previously defined objects in MIB-2 [16] or in the
Interfaces MIB [12], 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.

RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
3.1. Relation to MIB-2
This section applies only when this MIB is used in conjunction with
the "old" (RFC 1213) [16] interface group.
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.
For agents which implement the (now deprecated) ifSpecific object, an
instance of that object that is associated with an ethernet-like
interface has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value:
dot3 OBJECT IDENTIFER ::= { transmission 7 }
3.2. Relation to the Interfaces MIB
The Interface MIB [12] requires that any MIB which is an adjunct of
the Interface MIB clarify specific areas within the Interface MIB.
These areas were intentionally left vague in the Interface MIB to
avoid over constraining the MIB, thereby precluding management of
certain media-types.
Section 3.3 of [12] enumerates several areas which a media-specific
MIB must clarify. Each of these areas is addressed in a following
subsection. The implementor is referred to [12] in order to
understand the general intent of these areas.
3.2.1. Layering Model
This MIB does not provide for layering. There are no sublayers.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
One could foresee the development of an 802.2 and enet-transceiver
MIB. They could be higher and lower sublayers, respectively. All
that THIS document should do is allude to the possibilities and urge
the implementor to be aware of the possibility and that they may have
requirements which supersede the requirements in this document.
3.2.2. Virtual Circuits
This medium does not support virtual circuits and this area is not
applicable to this MIB.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
3.2.3. ifTestTable
This MIB defines two tests for media which are instrumented with this
MIB; TDR and Loopback. Implementation of these tests is not
required. Many common interface chips do not support one or both of
these tests.
These two tests are provided as a convenience, allowing a common
method to invoke the test.
Standard MIBs do not include objects in which to return the results
of the TDR test. Any needed objects MUST be provided in the vendor
specific MIB.
Note that the ifTestTable is now deprecated. Work is underway to
define a replacement MIB for system and interface testing. It is
expected that the tests defined in this document will be usable in
this replacement MIB.
3.2.4. ifRcvAddressTable
This table contains all IEEE 802.3 addresses, unicast, multicast, and
broadcast, for which this interface will receive packets and forward
them up to a higher layer entity for local consumption. The format
of the address, contained in ifRcvAddressAddress, is the same as for
ifPhysAddress.
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.
3.2.5. ifPhysAddress
This object contains the IEEE 802.3 address which is placed in the
source-address field of any Ethernet, Starlan, or IEEE 802.3 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 chose, use of the factory- provided ROM
address is suggested.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
If the address can not be determined, an octet string of zero length
should be returned.
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.
3.2.6. ifType
This MIB applies to interfaces which have any of the following ifType
values:
ethernetCsmacd(6)
iso88023Csmacd(7)
starLan(11)
It is RECOMMENDED that all Ethernet-like interfaces use an ifType of
ethernetCsmacd(6) regardless of the speed that the interface is
running or the link-layer encapsulation in use. iso88023Csmacd(7)
and starLan(11) are supported for backwards compatability.
There are two other interface types defined in the IANAifType-MIB for
100 Mbit Ethernet. They are fastEther(62), and fastEtherFX(69).
This document takes the position that an Ethernet is an Ethernet, and
Ethernet interfaces SHOULD always have the same value of ifType.
Information on the particular flavor of Ethernet that an interface is
running is available from ifSpeed in the Interfaces MIB, and
ifMauType in the 802.3 MAU MIB. An Ethernet-like interface SHOULD
NOT use the fastEther(62) or fastEtherFX(69) ifTypes.
Interfaces with any of the supported ifType values map to the
EtherLike-MIB in the same manner. Which compliance statement an
interface should implement is dependent on the maximum speed
supported on the interface. The EtherLike-MIB etherCompliance
compliance statement applies to all Ethernet-like interfaces whose
maximum supported speed is 10 Mbit/sec or less. There are no
implementation differences. Similarly, the EtherLike-MIB
ether100MbsCompliance compliance statement applies to all Ethernet-
like interfaces whose maximum supported speed is 100Mbit/sec.
An interface that is capable of operating at 100Mbit/sec MUST
implement the ether100MbsCompliance compliance statement, even if it
is currently operating at a lower speed. Counters in the
ether100MbsCompliance compliance statement that only apply to 100
Mbit interfaces would simply not increment when the interface is
operating at a lower speed.

3.2.7. Specific Interface MIB Objects
The following table provides specific implementation guidelines for
applying the interface group objects to ethernet-like media.
Object
ifIndex Each ethernet-like interface is
represented by an ifEntry. The
dot3StatsTable in this MIB module is
indexed by dot3StatsIndex. The interface
identified by a particular value of
dot3StatsIndex is the same interface as
identified by the same value of ifIndex.
ifDescr Refer to [12].
ifType Refer to section 3.2.6.
ifMtu 1500 octets.
ifSpeed The current operational speed of the
interface in bits per second. For
current ethernet-like interfaces, this
will be equal to 1,000,000 (1 million),
10,000,000 (10 million), or 100,000,000
(100 million). If the interface
implements auto-negotiation,
auto-negotiation is enabled for this
interface, and the interface has not yet
negotiated to an operational speed, this
object SHOULD reflect the maximum speed
supported by the interface. Note that
this object MUST NOT indicate a doubled
value when operating in full-duplex
mode. It MUST indicate the correct
line speed regardless of the current
duplex mode. The correct object to use
to determine the duplex mode of the
interface is the ifMauType object in the
802.3 MAU MIB.
ifPhysAddress Refer to section 3.2.5.
ifAdminStatus Write access is not required. Support
for 'testing' is not required.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
ifOperStatus The operational state of the interface.
Support for 'testing' is not required.
The value 'dormant' has no meaning for
an ethernet-like interface.
ifLastChange Refer to [12].
ifInOctets The number of octets in valid MAC frames
received on this interface, including
the MAC header and FCS.
ifInUcastPkts Refer to [12].
ifInDiscards Refer to [12].
ifInErrors The sum for this interface of
dot3StatsAlignmentErrors,
dot3StatsFCSErrors,
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs,
dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors and
dot3StatsSymbolErrors.
ifInUnknownProtos Refer to [12].
ifOutOctets The number of octets transmitted in
valid MAC frames on this interface,
including the MAC header and FCS.
ifOutUcastPkts Refer to [12].
ifOutDiscards Refer to [12].
ifOutErrors The sum for this interface of:
dot3StatsSQETestErrors,
dot3StatsLateCollisions,
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions,
dot3StatsInternalMacTransmitErrors and
dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors.
ifName Locally-significant textual name for the
interface (e.g. lan0).
ifInMulticastPkts Refer to [12].
ifInBroadcastPkts Refer to [12].
ifOutMulticastPkts Refer to [12].
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 8]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
ifOutBroadcastPkts Refer to [12].
ifHCInOctets 64-bit versions of counters. Required
ifHCOutOctets for ethernet-like interfaces that are
capable of operating at 20Mbit/sec or
faster, even if the interface is
currently operating at less than
20Mbit/sec.
ifHCInUcastPkts 64-bit versions of packet counters.
ifHCInMulticastPkts Support for these counters is not
ifHCInBroadcastPkts required for the interface types
ifHCOutUcastPkts supported by this MIB. They are only
ifHCOutMulticastPkts required for interfaces capable of
ifHCOutBroadcastPkts operating at 640Mbit/sec or faster.
Note that a future revision of this
document may support faster interfaces,
and therefore may require support for
these counters.
ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable Refer to [12]. Default is 'enabled'
ifHighSpeed The current operational speed of the
interface in millions of bits per
second. For current ethernet-like
interfaces, this will be equal to 1, 10,
or 100. If the interface implements
auto-negotiation, auto-negotiation is
enabled for this interface, and the
interface has not yet negotiated to an
operational speed, this object SHOULD
reflect the maximum speed supported by
the interface. Note that this object
MUST NOT indicate a doubled value when
operating in full-duplex mode. It MUST
indicate the correct line speed
regardless of the current duplex mode.
The correct object to use to determine
the duplex mode of the interface is the
ifMauType object in the 802.3 MAU MIB.
ifPromiscuousMode Refer to [12].
ifConnectorPresent This will normally be 'true'.
ifAlias Refer to [12].
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime Refer to [12].
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 9]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
ifStackHigherLayer Refer to section 3.2.1.
ifStackLowerLayer
ifStackStatus
ifRcvAddressAddress Refer to section 3.2.4.
ifRcvAddressStatus
ifRcvAddressType
3.3. Relation to the 802.3 MAU MIB
Support for the mauModIfCompl compliance statement of the MAU-MIB
[14] is REQUIRED for Ethernet-like interfaces. This MIB is needed in
order to allow applications to determine the current MAU type in use
by the interface. The MAU type indicates not only the media type in
use, but also indicates whether the interface is operating in half-
duplex or full-duplex mode. Implementing this MIB module without
implementing the MAU-MIB would leave applications with no standard
way to determine the duplex mode of the interface.

6. Acknowledgements
This document was produced by the 802.3 Hub MIB Working Group.
This document is almost completely based on both the Standard
Ethernet MIB, RFC 1643 [10], and the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB
using the SNMPv2 SMI, RFC 1650 [11], both of which were edited by
Frank Kastenholz of FTP Software and produced by the Ethernet MIB
Working Group. This document extends those documents by providing
support for 100 Mb/sec ethernet interfaces as outlined in [6].
RFC 1643 and RFC 1650, in turn, are based on the Draft Standard
Ethernet MIB, RFC 1398 [9], also edited by Frank Kastenholz and
produced by the Ethernet MIB Working Group.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 34]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
RFC 1398, in turn, is based on the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB,
RFC 1284 [8], which was edited by John Cook of Chipcom and produced
by the Transmission MIB Working Group. 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, then of Interlan, entitled IEEE 802.3 Layer Management
Draft M compatible MIB for TCP/IP Networks [7]. 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.

8. Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-
ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB is
implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can
alter or create any management objects of this MIB via direct SNMP
SET operations.
Flick & Johnson Standards Track [Page 36]
^L
RFC 2358 MIB for Ethernet-like Interface Types June 1998
There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may be
considered to contain sensitive information. In particular, the
dot3StatsEtherChipSet object may be considered sensitive in many
environments, since it would allow an intruder to obtain information
about which vendor's equipment is in use on the network.
Therefore, it may be important in some environments to control read
access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of
these object when sending them over the network via SNMP. Not all
versions of SNMP provide features for such a secure environment.
SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure environment. Even if the
network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then,
there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to
access and GET (read) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that the implementors consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2274 [17] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2275 [18] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to those objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to access them.
