Definitions of Managed Objects for
IEEE 802.3 Medium Attachment Units (MAUs)
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 2239, "Definitions of Managed Objects for
IEEE 802.3 Medium Attachment Units (MAUs) using SMIv2". This memo
extends that specification by including management information useful
for the management of 1000 Mb/s MAUs.
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, reflects a certain stage in the evolution of
Ethernet technology. In the future, this document might be revised,
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
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 IEEE 802.3 Medium
Attachment Units (MAUs).
This memo also includes a MIB module. This MIB module extends the
list of managed objects specified in the earlier version of this MIB:
RFC 2239 [21].
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 [20].
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
2. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
3. Overview
3.1. Relationship to RFC 2239
This MIB is intended to be a superset of that defined by RFC 2239
[21], which will go to historic status. This MIB includes all of the
objects contained in that MIB, plus several new ones which provide
additional capabilities. Implementors are encouraged to support all
applicable conformance groups in order to make the best use of the
new functionality provided by this MIB. The new objects provide
management support for:
o management of 1000 Mb/s devices
o management of PAUSE negotiation
o management of remote fault status
3.2. Relationship to RFC 1515
RFC 2239 was a replacement for RFC 1515 [22], which is now historic.
RFC 2239 defined a superset of RFC 1515 which contained all of the
objects defined in RFC 1515, plus several new ones which provided
additional capabilities. The new objects in RFC 2239 provided
management support for:
o management of 100 Mb/s devices
o auto-negotiation on interface MAUs
o jack management
3.3. MAU Management
Instances of these object types represent attributes of an IEEE 802.3
MAU. Several types of MAUs are defined in the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD
standard [16]. These MAUs may be connected to IEEE 802.3 repeaters
or to 802.3 (Ethernet-like) interfaces. For convenience this document
refers to these devices as "repeater MAUs" and "interface MAUs."
The definitions presented here are based on Section 30.5, "Layer
Management for 10, 100 & 1000 Mb/s Medium Attachment Units (MAUs)",
and Annex 30A, "GDMO Specifications for 802.3 managed object classes"
of IEEE Std. 802.3, 1998 edition [16]. That specification includes
definitions for 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s and 1000Mb/s devices. This
specification is intended to serve the same purpose: to provide for
management of all types of Ethernet/802.3 MAUs.
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
3.4. Relationship to Other MIBs
It is assumed that an agent implementing this MIB will also implement
(at least) the 'system' group defined in MIB-II [18]. The following
sections identify other MIBs that such an agent should implement.
3.4.1. Relationship to the Interfaces MIB.
The sections of this document that define interface MAU-related
objects specify an extension to the Interfaces MIB [19]. An agent
implementing these interface-MAU related objects MUST also implement
the relevant groups of Interface MIB. The value of the object
ifMauIfIndex is the same as the value of 'ifIndex' used to
instantiate the interface to which the given MAU is connected.
It is expected that an agent implementing the interface-MAU related
objects in this MIB will also implement the Ethernet-like Interfaces
MIB, [23].
(Note that repeater ports are not represented as interfaces in the
Interface MIB.)
3.4.2. Relationship to the 802.3 Repeater MIB
The section of this document that defines repeater MAU-related
objects specifies an extension to the 802.3 Repeater MIB defined in
[17]. An agent implementing these repeater-MAU related objects MUST
also implement the 802.3 Repeater MIB.
The values of 'rpMauGroupIndex' and 'rpMauPortIndex' used to
instantiate a repeater MAU variable SHALL be the same as the values
of 'rptrPortGroupIndex' and 'rptrPortIndex' used to instantiate the
port to which the given MAU is connected.
3.5. Management of Internal MAUs
In some situations, a MAU can be "internal" -- i.e., its
functionality is implemented entirely within a device. For example,
a managed repeater may contain an internal repeater-MAU and/or an
internal interface-MAU through which management communications
originating on one of the repeater's external ports pass in order to
reach the management agent associated with the repeater. Such
internal MAUs may or may not be managed. If they are managed,
objects describing their attributes should appear in the appropriate
MIB subtree: dot3RpMauBasicGroup for internal repeater-MAUs and
dot3IfMauBasicGroup for internal interface-MAUs.

Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
The value unknown(2) is returned when the MAU's
true state is unknown; for example, when it is
being initialized.
A MAU in the operational(3) state is fully
functional, operates, and passes signals to its
attached DTE or repeater port in accordance to
its specification.
A MAU in standby(4) state forces DI and CI to
idle and the media transmitter to idle or fault,
if supported. Standby(4) mode only applies to
link type MAUs. The state of
rpMauMediaAvailable is unaffected.
A MAU in shutdown(5) state assumes the same
condition on DI, CI, and the media transmitter
as though it were powered down or not connected.
The MAU MAY return other(1) value for the
rpMauJabberState and rpMauMediaAvailable objects
when it is in this state. For an AUI, this
state will remove power from the AUI.
Setting this variable to the value reset(6)
resets the MAU in the same manner as a
power-off, power-on cycle of at least one-half
second would. The agent is not required to
return the value reset (6).
Setting this variable to the value
operational(3), standby(4), or shutdown(5)
causes the MAU to assume the respective state
except that setting a mixing-type MAU or an AUI
to standby(4) will cause the MAU to enter the
shutdown state."

true state is unknown; for example, when it is
being initialized. At power-up or following a
reset, the value of this attribute will be
unknown for AUI, coax, and 10BASE-FP MAUs. For
these MAUs loopback will be tested on each
transmission during which no collision is
detected. If DI is receiving input when DO
returns to IDL after a transmission and there
has been no collision during the transmission
then loopback will be detected. The value of
this attribute will only change during
non-collided transmissions for AUI, coax, and
10BASE-FP MAUs.
For 100Mbps and 1000Mbps MAUs, the enumerations
match the states within the respective link
integrity state diagrams, fig 32-16, 23-12 and
24-15 of sections 32, 23 and 24 of [16]. Any
MAU which implements management of
auto-negotiation will map remote fault
indication to remote fault.
The value available(3) indicates that the link,
light, or loopback is normal. The value
notAvailable(4) indicates link loss, low light,
or no loopback.
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
The value remoteFault(5) indicates that a fault
has been detected at the remote end of the link.
This value applies to 10BASE-FB, 100BASE-T4 Far
End Fault Indication and non-specified remote
faults from a system running auto-negotiation.
The values remoteJabber(7), remoteLinkLoss(8),
and remoteTest(9) SHOULD be used instead of
remoteFault(5) where the reason for remote fault
is identified in the remote signaling protocol.
The value invalidSignal(6) indicates that an
invalid signal has been received from the other
end of the link. InvalidSignal(6) applies only
to MAUs of type 10BASE-FB.
Where an IEEE Std 802.3u-1995 clause 22 MII
is present, a logic one in the remote fault bit
(reference section 22.2.4.2.8 of that document)
maps to the value remoteFault(5), and a logic
zero in the link status bit (reference section
22.2.4.2.10 of that document) maps to the value
notAvailable(4). The value notAvailable(4)
takes precedence over the value remoteFault(5).
Any MAU that implements management of clause 37
Auto-Negotiation will map the received Remote
Fault (RF1 and RF2) bit values for Offline to
offline(10), Link Failure to remoteFault(5) and
Auto-Negotiation Error to autoNegError(11)."

conditions, an IEEE 802.3 MAU will immediately
be forced to the state indicated by the value of
the object ifMauDefaultType.
NOTE TO IMPLEMENTORS: When
ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus transitions from enabled
to disabled, the agent implementation MUST
ensure that the operational type of the MAU (as
reported by ifMauType) correctly transitions to
the value specified by the ifMauDefaultType
object, rather than continuing to operate at the
value earlier determined by the auto-negotiation
function."

DESCRIPTION "********* THIS OBJECT IS DEPRECATED **********
A value that uniquely identifies the set of
capabilities of the local auto-negotiation
entity. The value is a sum which initially
takes the value zero. Then, for each capability
of this interface, 2 raised to the power noted
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
below is added to the sum. For example, an
interface which has the capability to support
only 100Base-TX half duplex would have a value
of 32768 (2**15). In contrast, an interface
which supports both 100Base-TX half duplex and
and 100Base-TX full duplex would have a value of
98304 ((2**15) + (2**16)).
The powers of 2 assigned to the capabilities are
these:

10 10BASE-T half duplex mode
11 10BASE-T full duplex mode

8. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. Setting these objects can
have a serious effect on the operation of the network, including:
enabling or disabling a MAU
changing a MAU's default type
enabling, disabling or restarting autonegotiation
modifying the capabilities that a MAU advertizes during
autonegotiation.
Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some
network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations.
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/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this
MIB.
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended.
Smith, et al. Standards Track [Page 51]
RFC 2668 802.3 MAU MIB August 1999
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.
