Network Working Group D. McMaster Request for Comments: 1516 SynOptics Communications, Inc. Obsoletes: 1368 K. McCloghrie Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. September 1993 Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices Status of this Memo This RFC 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" 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. In particular, it defines objects for managing IEEE 802.3 10 Mb/second baseband repeaters, sometimes referred to as "hubs." Table of Contents 1.

The Network Management Framework The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are: o STD 16, RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD 16, RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI. o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. o STD 15, RFC 1157 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. 1.1. Object Definitions 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) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. 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 descriptor, to refer to the object type. 2. Overview Instances of the object types defined in this memo represent attributes of an IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet-like) repeater, as defined by Section 9, "Repeater Unit for 10 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE 802.3/ISO 8802-3 CSMA/CD standard [7]. These Repeater MIB objects may be used to manage non-standard repeater-like devices, but defining objects to describe McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 2] RFC 1516 802.3 Repeater MIB September 1993Show full document text
