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].
