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].
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.

-- means for a manager to test any interface corresponding to
Kastenholz [Page 12]
RFC 1398 Ethernet-Like MIB January 1993
-- a value of ifIndex.
-- At this time, one well known test (testFullDuplexLoopBack) is
-- defined in RFC 1229. For ethernet-like interfaces, this test
-- configures the MAC chip and executes an internal loopback
-- test of memory and the MAC chip logic. This loopback test can
-- only be executed if the interface is offline. Once the test
-- has completed, the MAC chip should be reinitialized for network
-- operation, but it should remain offline.
-- If an error occurs during a test, the object ifExtnsTestResult
-- (defined in RFC 1229) will be set to failed(7). The following
-- two OBJECT IDENTIFIERs may be used to provided more
-- information as values for the object ifExtnsTestCode in
-- RFC 1229:
dot3Errors OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot3 7 }
-- couldn't initialize MAC chip for test
dot3ErrorInitError OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot3Errors 1 }
-- expected data not received (or not
-- received correctly) in loopback test

-- Tests
-- TDR Test
-- Another test, specific to ethernet-like interfaces with the
-- exception of 10BaseT and 10BaseF, is Time-domain Reflectometry
(TDR).
-- The TDR value may be useful in determining the approximate
distance
-- to a cable fault. It is advisable to repeat this test to
check for
-- a consistent resulting TDR value, to verify that there is a
fault.

-- A TDR test returns as its result the time interval, measured
-- in 10 MHz ticks or 100 nsec units, between the start of
-- TDR test transmission and the subsequent detection of a
-- collision or deassertion of carrier. On successful completion
-- of a TDR test, the appropriate instance of ifExtnsTestResult
-- contains the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of the MIB object which
-- contains the value of this time interval.

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.

6. Acknowledgements
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 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.
