Definitions of Managed
for IEEE 802.3 Repeater
using SMIv

Status of this

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited



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 10 and 100
Mb/second baseband repeaters based on IEEE Std 802.3 Section 30, "10
& 100 Mb/s Management," October 26, 1995.

1. The SNMP Network Management

The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of
major components. They are

o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [6] - the mechanisms
for describing and naming objects for the purpose
management

o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [5] - the core set
managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols

o the protocol, STD 15, RFC 1157 [10] and/or RFC 1905
[9] - the protocol used for accessing managed information

Textual conventions are defined in RFC 1903 [7], and
statements are defined in RFC 1904 [8].

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose
experimentation and evaluation

1.1. Object

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation one (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by
OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The
type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify
specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience,
often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to
object type

2.

2.1. Relationship to RFC 1516

This MIB is intended as a superset of that defined by RFC 1516 [11],
which will go to historic status. This MIB includes all of
objects contained in that MIB, plus several new ones which





de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997


for significant additional capabilities. Implementors are
to support all applicable conformance groups in order to make
best use of the new functionality provided by this MIB. The
objects provide support for

o multiple

o 100BASE-T

o port TopN

o address search and topology

Certain objects have been deprecated; in particular, those
objects used for managing a single repeater are now of minimal
since they are duplicated in the new multiple- repeater definitions
Additional objects have been deprecated based on
experience with RFC 1516.

2.2. Repeater

Instances of the object types defined in this memo
attributes of an IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet-like) repeater, as defined
Section 9, "Repeater Unit for 10 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the
802.3/ISO 8802-3 CSMA/CD standard [1], and Section 27, "Repeater
100 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE Standard 802.3u-1995 [2].

These Repeater MIB objects may be used to manage non-
repeater-like devices, but defining objects to
implementation-specific properties of non-standard repeater-
devices is outside the scope of this memo


The definitions presented here are based on Section 30.4, "
Management for 10 and 100 Mb/s Baseband Repeaters" and Annex 30A
"GDMO Specificataions for 802.3 managed objects" of [3].

Implementors of these MIB objects should note that [3]
describes when, where, and how various repeater attributes
measured. The IEEE document also describes the effects of
actions that may be invoked by manipulating instances of the
objects defined here

The counters in this document are defined to be the same as
counters in [3], with the intention that the same instrumentation
be used to implement both the IEEE and IETF management standards





de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997


2.3. Structure of the

Objects in this MIB are arranged into packages, each of
contains a set of related objects within a broad functional category
Objects within a package are generally defined under the same
subtree. These packages are intended for organizational
ONLY, and have no relation to the conformance groups defined later
the document

2.3.1. Basic

The basic definitions include objects which are applicable to
repeaters: status, parameter and control objects for each
within the managed system, for the port groups within the system,
for the individual ports themselves

2.3.2. Monitor

The monitor definitions include monitoring statistics for
repeater within the system and for individual ports

2.3.3. Address Tracking

This collection includes objects for tracking the MAC addresses
the DTEs attached to the ports within the system and for mapping
topology of a network

Note: These definitions are based on a technology which has
patented by Hewlett-Packard Company. HP has granted rights to
technology to implementors of this MIB. See [12] and [13]
details

2.3.4. Top N

These objects may be used for tracking the ports with the
activity within the system or within particular repeaters

2.4. Relationship to Other

2.4.1. Relationship to MIB-

It is assumed that a repeater implementing this MIB will
implement (at least) the 'system' group defined in MIB-II [5].








de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997


2.4.1.1. Relationship to the 'system'

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

2.4.1.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces'

In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory
all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces,
each interface is thought of as being attached to a 'subnetwork'.
(Note that this term is not to be confused with 'subnet' which
to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite
protocols.)

This Repeater MIB uses the notion of ports on a repeater.
concept of a MIB-II interface has NO specific relationship to
repeater's port. Therefore, the 'interfaces' group applies only
the one (or more) network interfaces on which the entity managing
repeater sends and receives management protocol operations, and
not apply to the repeater's ports

This is consistent with the physical-layer nature of a repeater.
repeater is a bitwise store-and-forward device. It
activity and bits, but does not process incoming data based on
packet-related information (such as checksum or addresses).
repeater has no MAC address, no MAC implementation, and does not
packets up to higher-level protocol entities for processing

(When a network management entity is observing a repeater, it
appear as though the repeater is passing packets to a higher-
protocol entity. However, this is only a means of
management, and this passing of management information is not part
the repeater functionality.)

refers to IEEE 802.3u-1995, '10 Mb/s &

Supplement to ANSI/IEEE 802.3.

The following terms are used throughout
MIB module. For complete formal definitions
the IEEE 802.3 standards should be
wherever possible

System - A managed entity compliant with
MIB, and incorporating at least one
802.3 repeater

Chassis - An enclosure for one managed repeater
part of a managed repeater, or several
repeaters. It typically contains an
power supply and a variable number of
module slots

Repeater-unit - The portion of the repeater
that is inboard of the physical media interfaces
The physical media interfaces (MAUs, AUIs) may
physically separated from the repeater-unit,
they may be integrated into the same
package

Trivial repeater-unit - An isolated port that
gather statistics

Group - A recommended, but optional,
defined by the IEEE 802.3 management standard
in order to support a modular numbering scheme
The classical example allows an implementor
represent field-replaceable units as groups
ports, with the port numbering matching
modular hardware implementation

System interconnect segment - An
segment allowing interconnection of
belonging to different physical
into the same logical manageable repeater
Examples of implementation might
backplane busses in modular hubs,
chaining cables in stacks of hubs



de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7]

RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997


Stack - A scalable system that may
managed repeaters, in which modularity
achieved by interconnecting a number
different chassis

Module - A building block in a
chassis. It typically maps into one 'slot';
however, the range of configurations may
very large, with several modules
one slot, or one module covering
slots
