Abstract This memo 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 10 Mb/second baseband repeaters, sometimes referred to as "hubs." 2. Status of this Memo This document is an Internet Draft.

Management Framework The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three components. They are: RFC 1155 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. 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. RFC 1213 [4] defines MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new operational requirements. 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. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 2] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 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 [7,8]. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 3] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 5. 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 [9]. These Repeater MIB objects may be used to manage non-standard repeater-like devices, but defining objects to describe implementation-specific properties of non-standard repeater- like devices is outside the scope of this memo. The definitions presented here are based on the IEEE draft standard P802.3K, "Layer Management for 10 Mb/s Baseband Repeaters." [10] Implementors of these MIB objects should note that [10] explicitly describes when, where, and how various repeater attributes are measured. The IEEE document also describes the effects of repeater actions that may be invoked by manipulating instances of the MIB objects defined here. The counters in this document are defined to be the same as those counters in the IEEE 802.3 Repeater Management draft, with the intention that a single instrumentation can be used to implement both the IEEE and IETF management standards. 5.1. Terminology 5.1.1. Repeaters, Hubs and Concentrators In late 1988, the IEEE 802.3 Hub Management task force was chartered to define managed objects for both 802.3 repeaters and the proposed 10BASE-FA synchronous active stars. The term "hub" was used to cover both repeaters and active stars. In March, 1991, the active star proposal was dropped from the 10BASE-F draft. Subsequently the 802.3 group changed the name of the task force to be the IEEE 802.3 Repeater Management Task Force, and likewise renamed their draft. The use of the term "hub" has led to some confusion, as the terms "hub," "intelligent hub," and "concentrator" are often used to indicate a modular chassis with plug-in modules that provide generalized LAN/WAN connectivity, often with a mix of 802.3 repeater, token ring, and FDDI connectivity, internetworked by bridges, routers, and terminal servers. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 4] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 To be clear that this work covers the management of IEEE 802.3 repeaters only, the editors of this MIB definitions document chose to call this a "Repeater MIB" instead of a "Hub MIB." 5.1.2. Repeaters, Ports, and MAUs The following text roughly defines the terms "repeater," "port," and "MAU" as used in the context of this memo. This text is imprecise and omits many technical details. For a more complete and precise definition of these terms, refer to Section 9 of [9]. An IEEE 802.3 repeater connects "Ethernet-like" media segments together to extend the network length and topology beyond what can be achieved with a single coax segment. It can be pictured as a star structure with two or more input/output ports. The diagram below illustrates a 6-port repeater: ^ ^ | | \ \ / / \ \ / / _____\ v /_____ -> ______ ______ -> / ^ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ | | v v Figure 1. Repeater Unit All the stations on the media segments connected to a given repeater's ports participate in a single collision domain. A packet transmitted by any of these stations is seen by all of these stations. Data coming in on any port in the repeater is transmitted out through each of the remaining n-1 ports. If data comes in to the repeater on two or more ports simultaneously or the repeater detects a collision on the incoming port, the repeater transmits a jamming signal out on all ports for the duration of the collision. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 5] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 A repeater is a bit-wise store-and-forward device. It is differentiated from a bridge (a frame store-and-forward device) in that it is primarily concerned with carrier sense and data bits, and does not make data-handling decisions based on the legality or contents of a packet. A repeater retransmits data bits as they are received. Its data FIFO holds only enough bits to make sure that the FIFO does not underflow when the data rate of incoming bits is slightly slower than the repeater's transmission rate. A repeater is not an end-station on the network, and does not count toward the overall limit of 1024 stations. A repeater has no MAC address associated with it, and therefore packets may not be addressed to the repeater or to its ports. (Packets may be addressed to the MAC address of a management entity that is monitoring a repeater. This management entity may or may not be connected to the network through one of the repeater's ports. How the management entity obtains information about the activity on the repeater is an implementation issue, and is not discussed in this memo.) A repeater is connected to the network with Medium Attachment Units (MAUs), and sometimes through Attachment Unit Interfaces (AUIs) as well. ("MAUs" are also known as transceivers, and an "AUI" is the same as a 15-pin Ethernet or DIX connector.) The 802.3 standard defines a "repeater set" as the "repeater unit" plus its associated MAUs (and AUIs if present). The "repeater unit" is defined as the portion of the repeater set that is inboard of the physical media interfaces. The MAUs may be physically separate from the repeater unit, or they may be integrated into the same physical package. (MAU) (MAU) \ \ / / \ \ / / _____\ v /_____ (MAU) ______ ______ (MAU) / ^ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ (MAU) (MAU) Figure 2. Repeater Set McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 6] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 The most commonly-used MAUs are the 10BASE-5 (AUI to thick "yellow" coax), 10BASE-2 (BNC to thin coax), 10BASE-T (unshielded twisted-pair), and FOIRL (asynchronous fiber optic inter-repeater link, which is being combined into the 10BASE-F standard as 10BASE-FL). The draft 10BASE-F standard also includes the definition for a new synchronous fiber optic attachment, known as 10BASE-FB. It should be stressed that the repeater MIB being defined by the IEEE covers only the repeater unit management - it does not include management of the MAUs that form the repeater set. The IEEE recognizes that MAU management should be the same for MAUs connected to end-stations (DTEs) as it is for MAUs connected to repeaters. This memo follows the same strategy; the definition of management information for MAUs is being addressed in a separate memo. 5.1.3. Ports and Groups Repeaters are often implemented in modular "concentrators," where a card cage holds several field-replaceable cards. Several cards may form a single repeater unit, with each card containing one or more of the repeater's ports. Because of this modular architecture, users typically identify these repeater ports with a card number plus the port number relative to the card, e.g., Card 3, Port 11. To support this modular numbering scheme, this document follows the example of the IEEE Repeater Management draft [10], allowing an implementor to separate the ports in a repeater into "groups", if desired. For example, an implementor might choose to represent field-replaceable units as groups of ports so that the port numbering would match the modular hardware implementation. This group mapping is recommended but optional. An implementor may choose to put all of a modular repeater's ports into a single group, or to divide the ports into groups that do not match physical divisions. The object rptrGroupCapacity, which has a maximum value of 1024, indicates the maximum number of groups that a given repeater may contain. The value of rptrGroupCapacity must remain constant from one management restart to the next. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 7] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 Each group within the repeater is uniquely identified by a group number in the range 1..rptrGroupCapacity. Groups may come and go without causing a management reset, and may be sparsely numbered within the repeater. For example, in a 12- card cage, cards 3, 5, 6, and 7 may together form a single repeater, and the implementor may choose to number them as groups 3, 5, 6, and 7, respectively. The object rptrGroupPortCapacity, which also has a maximum value of 1024, indicates the maximum number of ports that a given group may contain. The value of rptrGroupPortCapacity must not change for a given group. However, a group may be deleted from the repeater and replaced with a group containing a different number of ports. The value of rptrGroupLastOperStatusChange will indicate that a change took place. Each port within the repeater is uniquely identified by a combination of group number and port number, where port number is an integer in the range 1..rptrGroupPortCapacity. As with groups within a repeater, ports within a group may be sparsely numbered. Likewise, ports may come and go within a group without causing a management reset. 5.2. Supporting Functions The IEEE 802.3 Hub Management draft [10] defines the following seven functions and seven signals used to describe precisely when port counters are incremented. The relationship between the functions and signals is shown in Figure 3. The CollisionEvent, ActivityDuration, CarrierEvent, FramingError, OctetCount, FCSError, and SourceAddress output signals defined here are not retrievable MIB objects, but rather are concepts used in defining the MIB objects. The inputs are defined in Section 9 of the IEEE 802.3 standard [9]. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 8] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 +---------+ |Collision|--------------------->CollisionEvent CollIn(X)+>|Event | | |Funct | +--------+ | +---------+ |Activity| | +-------+ |Timing |->ActivityDuration +>|Carrier| +---->|Funct | |Event | | +--------+ DataIn(X)->|Funct |+-----+---------------->CarrierEvent +-------+| | +-------+ +>|Framing|------------>FramingError |Funct | +-------+ decodedData---------->| |+>|Octet | +-------+| |Count |->OctetCount | |Funct | | +-------+ | +-------+ Octet | |Cyclic | Stream +>|Redund.| | |Check |->FCSError | |Funct | | +-------+ | +-------+ | |Source | +>|Address|->SourceAddress |Funct | +-------+ Figure 3. Port Functions Relationship Collision Event Function: The collision event function asserts the CollisionEvent signal when the CollIn(X) variable has the value SQE. The CollisionEvent signal remains asserted until the assertion of any CarrierEvent signal due to the reception of the following event. Carrier Event Function: The carrier event function asserts the CarrierEvent signal when the repeater exits the IDLE state, Fig 9-2 [9], and the port has been determined to be port N. It deasserts the CarrierEvent signal when, for a duration of at least Carrier Recovery Time (Ref: 9.5.6.5 [9]), both the DataIn(N) variable has the value II and the CollIn(N) variable has the value -SQE. The value N is the port assigned at the time of transition from the IDLE state. McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 9] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 Framing Function: The framing function recognizes the boundaries of an incoming frame by monitoring the CarrierEvent signal and the decoded data stream. Data bits are accepted while the CarrierEvent signal is asserted. The framing function strips preamble and start of frame delimiter from the received data stream. The remaining bits are aligned along octet boundaries. If there is not an integral number of octets, then FramingError shall be asserted. The FramingError signal is cleared upon the assertion of the CarrierEvent signal due to the reception of the following event. Activity Timing Function: The activity timing function measures the duration of the assertion of the CarrierEvent signal. This duration value must be adjusted by removing the value of Carrier Recovery Time (Ref: 9.5.6.5 [9]) to obtain the true duration of activity on the network. The output of the Activity Timing function is the ActivityDuration value, which represents the duration of the CarrierEvent signal as expressed in units of bit times. Octet Counting Function: The octet counting function counts the number of complete octets received from the output of the framing function. The output of the octet counting function is the OctetCount value. The OctetCount value is reset to zero upon the assertion of the CarrierEvent signal due to the reception of the following event. Cyclic Redundancy Check Function: The cyclic redundancy check function verifies that the sequence of octets output by the framing function contains a valid frame check sequence field. The frame check sequence field is the last four octets received from the output of the framing function. The algorithm for generating an FCS from the octet stream is specified in 3.2.8 [9]. If the FCS generated according to this algorithm is not the same as the last four octets received from the framing function then the FCSError signal is asserted. The FCSError signal is cleared upon the assertion of the CarrierEvent signal due to the reception of the following event. Source Address Function: The source address function extracts octets from the stream output by the framing function. The seventh through twelfth octets shall be extracted from the octet stream and output as the SourceAddress variable. The SourceAddress variable is set to an invalid state upon the McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 10] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 assertion of the CarrierEvent signal due to the reception of the following event. 5.3. Structure of MIB Objects in this MIB are arranged into MIB groups. Each MIB group is organized as a set of related objects. 5.3.1. The Basic Group Definitions This mandatory group contains the objects which are applicable to all repeaters. It contains status, parameter and control objects for the repeater as a whole, the port groups within the repeater, as well as for the individual ports themselves. 5.3.2. The Monitor Group Definitions This optional group contains monitoring statistics for the repeater as a whole and for individual ports. 5.3.3. The Address Tracking Group Definitions This optional group contains objects for tracking the MAC addresses of the DTEs attached to the ports of the repeater. 5.4. Relationship to Other MIBs It is assumed that a repeater implementing this MIB will also implement (at least) the 'system' group defined in MIB-II [4]. 5.4.1. 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 repeater. 5.4.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where each interface is thought of as being attached to a 'subnetwork'. (Note that this term is not to be confused with 'subnet' which refers to an addressing McMaster/McCloghrie [Page 11] Expires 22 Dec 1992 Internet Draft 802.3 Repeater MIB June 1992 partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of protocols.) This Repeater MIB uses the notion of ports on a repeater. The concept of a MIB-II interface has NO specific relationship to a repeater's port. Therefore, the 'interfaces' group applies only to the one (or more) network interfaces on which the entity managing the repeater sends and receives management protocol operations, and does not apply to the repeater's ports. This is consistent with the physical-layer nature of a repeater. A repeater is a bitwise store-and-forward device. It recognizes activity and bits, but does not process incoming data based on any packet-related information (such as checksum or addresses). A repeater has no MAC address, no MAC implementation, and does not pass packets up to higher-level protocol entities for processing. (When a network management entity is observing the repeater, it may appear as though the repeater is passing packets to a higher-level protocol entity. However, this is only a means of implementing management, and this passing of management information is not part of the repeater functionality.) 5.5. Textual Conventions The datatype MacAddress is used as a textual convention in this document. This textual convention has NO effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed object. Objects defined using this convention are always encoded by means of the rules that define their primitive type. Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate this textual convention which is adopted merely for the convenience of readers.
