- 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 objects.
-
- This memo also includes a MIB module. This MIB module corrects minor
- errors in the earlier version of this MIB: RFC 1398 [15].

-
-
- 1. The SNMP Network Management Framework
-
- The SNMP Network Management Framework consists of three major
- components. They are:
-
- o 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.
-
- o 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.
-
- o 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.
-
- 1.1. 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) [7]
- defined in the SMI [16]. 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.
-
- 2. Change Log
-
- This section enumerates changes made to RFC 1398 to produce this
- document.
-
- (1) A section describing the applicability of various parts
- of RFC 1573 to ethernet-like interfaces has been added.
-
- (2) A minor error in the description of the TDR test was
- fixed.
-
- (3) A loopback test was defined to replace the standard
- loopback test that was defined in RFC 1229.
-
-
-
- Kastenholz [Page 2]
-
- RFC 1623 Ethernet-Like MIB May 1994
-
-
- (4) The description of dot3CollFrequencies was made a bit
- clearer.
-
- (5) A new object, EtherChipset, has been added. This object
- replaces the ifExtnsChipSet object, which has been
- removed per the Interface MIB Evolution effort.
-
- (6) Several minor editorial changes, spelling corrections,
- grammar and punctuation corrections, and so forth, were
- made.
-
- 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 ::= { experimental 3 }
-
- The definitions presented here are based on the IEEE 802.3 Layer
- Management Specification [9], as originally interpreted by Frank
- Kastenholz then 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.

-
- RFC 1623 Ethernet-Like MIB May 1994
-
-
- 3.1. 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 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.
-
- 3.2. 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 were intentionally left vague in RFC 1573
- to avoid over constraining the MIB, thereby precluding management of
- certain media-types.
-
- Section 3.3 of RFC 1573 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 RFC 1573 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:
-
- I could forsee 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.
-
- 3.2.3. ifTestTable
-
- This MIB defines two tests for media which are instumented 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.
-
-
-
-
- Kastenholz [Page 4]
-
- RFC 1623 Ethernet-Like MIB May 1994
-
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.

- RFC 1623 Ethernet-Like MIB May 1994
-
-
- 3.2.6. ifType
-
- This MIB applies to interfaces which have any of the following three
- ifType values:
-
- ethernet-csmacd(6)
- iso88023-csmacd(7)
- starLan(11)
-
- Interfaces with any of these ifType values map to the EtherLike-MIB
- in the same manner. The EtherLike-MIB applies equally to all three
- types; there are no implementation differences.

-
- This document was produced by the Ethernet MIB Working Group.
-
- This document is based on the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB, RFC
- 1284 [14], of which Jihn 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
-
-
-
- Kastenholz [Page 16]
-
- RFC 1623 Ethernet-Like MIB May 1994
-
-
- 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.
