          1.  Abstract

          This document defines an experimental 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 IEEE 802.3 Medium
          Attachment Units (MAUs).

          3.  Management Framework

          The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of
          three components.  They are:

               STD 16/RFC 1155 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms
               used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of
               management.  STD 16/RFC 1212 [7] defines a more concise
               description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with
               the SMI.

               RFC 1156 [2] which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed
               objects for the Internet suite of protocols.  STD 17/RFC
               1213 [4] defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on
               implementation experience and new operational
               requirements.

               STD 15/RFC 1157 [3] 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.

          4.  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) [5] 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 [1]
          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
          [6], subject to the additional requirements imposed by the
          SNMP.

          4.1.  Format of Definitions

          Section 6 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 [9,10].

          Internet Draft          802.3 MAU MIB            22 March 1993

          5.  Overview

          Instances of the object types defined in this document
          represent attributes of an IEEE 802.3 MAU.  Several types of
          MAUs are defined in the IEEE 802.3/ISO 8802-3 CSMA/CD standard
          [9].

          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 Draft 5 of Section
          20 of IEEE P802.3p, "Layer Management for 10 Mb/s Medium
          Attachment Units (MAUs), Section 20" [10] dated 11 July 1992.

          5.1.  Terminology

          Refer to Section 3.1.2 of [13] for simple definitions of the
          terms "repeater," "port," and "MAU" as used in the context of
          this document.  For a more complete and precise definition of
          these terms, refer to Section 9 of [9].

          5.2.  Structure of MIB

          Objects in this MIB are arranged into MIB groups.  Each MIB
          group is organized as a set of related objects.

          5.2.1.  The Repeater MAU Basic Group Definitions

          This group contains all repeater MAU-related configuration,
          status, and control objects.  Implementation of the
          dot3RpMauBasicGroup is mandatory for MAUs attached to
          repeaters.

          5.2.2.  The Interface MAU Basic Group Definitions

          This group contains all interface MAU-related configuration,
          status, and control objects.  Implementation of the
          dot3IfMauBasicGroup is mandatory for MAUs attached to

                                     [Page 5]  Expires 22 September 1993

          Internet Draft          802.3 MAU MIB            22 March 1993

          interfaces.

          5.2.3.  The Broadband MAU Basic Group Definitions

          This group contains all broadband-specific MAU-related
          configuration objects.  Implementation of the
          dot3BroadMauBasicGroup is mandatory for 10BROAD36 MAUs, and is
          not appropriate for other types of MAUs.

          5.3.  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 [4].
          The following sections identify other MIBs that such an agent
          should implement.

          5.3.1.  Relationship to the 'system' group

          In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory
          for all systems such that each managed entity contains one
          instance of each object in the 'system' group.  Thus, those
          objects apply to the entity even if the entity's sole
          functionality is management of a MAU.

          5.3.2.  Relationship to the 'interfaces' group

          The sections of this document that define interface MAU-
          related objects specify an extension to the 'interfaces' group
          of MIB-II [4].  An agent implementing these interface-MAU
          related objects must also implement the 'interfaces' group of
          MIB-II.  The value of 'ifMauIfIndex' used to instantiate an
          interface-MAU variable shall be 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 Extensions
          to the Generic Interface MIB [11] and the Ethernet-like
          Interfaces MIB [12].

          (Note that repeater ports are not represented as interfaces in
          the sense of MIB-II's 'interfaces' group.  See section 3.4.2

          of the repeater MIB [13] for more details.)

          5.3.3.  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 [13].  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.

          Internet Draft          802.3 MAU MIB            22 March 1993

                      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 and the
                      media transmitter to idle.  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.  The MAU may return
                      other(1) value for the mauJabber 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."

              STATUS    mandatory
              DESCRIPTION
                      "If the MAU is a link or fiber type (FOIRL,
                      10BASE-T, 10BASE-F) then this is equivalent to the
                      link test fail state/low light function.  For an
                      AUI or a coax (including broadband) MAU this
                      indicates whether or not loopback is detected on
                      the DI circuit.  The value of this attribute
                      persists between packets for MAU types AUI,
                      10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BROAD36, and 10BASE-FP.

                      The value other(1) is returned if the
                      mediaAvailable state is not one of 2 through 6.

                      The value unknown(2) is returned when the MAU's
                      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.

                      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.

                      The value remoteFault(5) indicates that a fault
                      has been detected at the remote end of the link.
                      The value invalidSignal(6) indicates that an
                      invalid signal has been received from the other
                      end of the link.  Both remoteFault(5) and
                      invalidSignal(6) apply only to MAUs of type
                      10BASE-FB."

                      setting the value of this object to some of the
                      enumerated values.

                      The value other(1) is returned if the MAU is in a
                      state other than one of the states 2 through 6.

                      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 and the
                      media transmitter to idle.  Standby(4) mode only
                      applies to link type MAUs.  The state of
                      ifMauMediaAvailable is unaffected.

                      A MAU in shutdown(5) state assumes the same

                      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

                      mediaAvailable state is not one of 2 through 6.

                      The value unknown(2) is returned when the MAU's
                      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.

                      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.

                      The value remoteFault(5) indicates that a fault
                      has been detected at the remote end of the link.
                      The value invalidSignal(6) indicates that an
                      invalid signal has been received from the other
                      end of the link.  Both remoteFault(5) and
                      invalidSignal(6) apply only to MAUs of type
