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 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 Framework
The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of three
major components. They are:
o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [6] - the mechanisms used
for describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management.
o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [5] - the core set of
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 conformance
statements are defined in RFC 1904 [8].
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 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
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 the
objects contained in that MIB, plus several new ones which provide
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
for significant additional capabilities. Implementors are encouraged
to support all applicable conformance groups in order to make the
best use of the new functionality provided by this MIB. The new
objects provide support for:
o multiple repeaters
o 100BASE-T management
o port TopN capability
o address search and topology mapping
Certain objects have been deprecated; in particular, those scalar
objects used for managing a single repeater are now of minimal use
since they are duplicated in the new multiple- repeater definitions.
Additional objects have been deprecated based on implementation
experience with RFC 1516.
2.2. Repeater Management
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 [1], and Section 27, "Repeater for
100 Mb/s Baseband Networks" in the IEEE Standard 802.3u-1995 [2].
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 Section 30.4, "Layer
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] 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 [3], with the intention that the same instrumentation can
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 MIB
Objects in this MIB are arranged into packages, each of which
contains a set of related objects within a broad functional category.
Objects within a package are generally defined under the same OID
subtree. These packages are intended for organizational convenience
ONLY, and have no relation to the conformance groups defined later in
the document.
2.3.1. Basic Definitions
The basic definitions include objects which are applicable to all
repeaters: status, parameter and control objects for each repeater
within the managed system, for the port groups within the system, and
for the individual ports themselves.
2.3.2. Monitor Definitions
The monitor definitions include monitoring statistics for each
repeater within the system and for individual ports.
2.3.3. Address Tracking Definitions
This collection includes objects for tracking the MAC addresses of
the DTEs attached to the ports within the system and for mapping the
topology of a network.
Note: These definitions are based on a technology which has been
patented by Hewlett-Packard Company. HP has granted rights to this
technology to implementors of this MIB. See [12] and [13] for
details.
2.3.4. Top N Definitions
These objects may be used for tracking the ports with the most
activity within the system or within particular repeaters.
2.4. Relationship to Other MIBs
2.4.1. Relationship to MIB-II
It is assumed that a repeater implementing this MIB will also
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' 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
repeaters.
2.4.1.2. 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 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 a 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.)

DESCRIPTION
"Management information for 802.3 repeaters.
The following references are used throughout
this MIB module:
[IEEE 802.3 Std]
refers to IEEE 802.3/ISO 8802-3 Information
processing systems - Local area networks -
Part 3: Carrier sense multiple access with
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method
and physical layer specifications (1993).
[IEEE 802.3 Mgt]
refers to IEEE 802.3u-1995, '10 Mb/s &
100 Mb/s Management, Section 30,'
Supplement to ANSI/IEEE 802.3.
The following terms are used throughout this
MIB module. For complete formal definitions,
the IEEE 802.3 standards should be consulted
wherever possible:
System - A managed entity compliant with this
MIB, and incorporating at least one managed
802.3 repeater.
Chassis - An enclosure for one managed repeater,
part of a managed repeater, or several managed
repeaters. It typically contains an integral
power supply and a variable number of available
module slots.
Repeater-unit - The portion of the repeater set
that is inboard of the physical media interfaces.
The physical media interfaces (MAUs, AUIs) may be
physically separated from the repeater-unit, or
they may be integrated into the same physical
package.
Trivial repeater-unit - An isolated port that can
gather statistics.
Group - A recommended, but optional, entity
defined by the IEEE 802.3 management standard,
in order to support a modular numbering scheme.
The classical example allows an implementor to
represent field-replaceable units as groups of
ports, with the port numbering matching the
modular hardware implementation.
System interconnect segment - An internal
segment allowing interconnection of ports
belonging to different physical entities
into the same logical manageable repeater.
Examples of implementation might be
backplane busses in modular hubs, or
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 include
managed repeaters, in which modularity is
achieved by interconnecting a number of
different chassis.
Module - A building block in a modular
chassis. It typically maps into one 'slot';
however, the range of configurations may be
very large, with several modules entering
one slot, or one module covering several
slots.

"********* THIS OBJECT IS DEPRECATED **********
Setting this object to reset(2) causes a
transition to the START state of Fig 9-2 in
section 9 [IEEE 802.3 Std] for a 10Mb/s repeater,
and the START state of Fig 27-2 in section 27
of that standard for a 100Mb/s repeater.
Setting this object to noReset(1) has no effect.
The agent will always return the value noReset(1)
when this object is read.
After receiving a request to set this variable to
reset(2), the agent is allowed to delay the reset
for a short period. For example, the implementor
may choose to delay the reset long enough to allow
the SNMP response to be transmitted. In any
event, the SNMP response must be transmitted.
This action does not reset the management counters
defined in this document nor does it affect the
portAdminStatus parameters. Included in this
action is the execution of a disruptive Self-Test
with the following characteristics: a) The nature
of the tests is not specified. b) The test resets
the repeater but without affecting management
information about the repeater. c) The test does
not inject packets onto any segment. d) Packets
received during the test may or may not be
transferred. e) The test does not interfere with
management functions.
After performing this self-test, the agent will
update the repeater health information (including
rptrOperStatus and rptrHealthText), and send a
rptrHealth trap."

DESCRIPTION
"Setting this object to disabled(2) disables the
port. A disabled port neither transmits nor
receives. Once disabled, a port must be
explicitly enabled to restore operation. A port
which is disabled when power is lost or when a
reset is exerted shall remain disabled when normal
operation resumes.
The admin status takes precedence over auto-
partition and functionally operates between the
auto-partition mechanism and the AUI/PMA.
Setting this object to enabled(1) enables the port
and exerts a BEGIN on the port's auto-partition
state machine.
(In effect, when a port is disabled, the value of
rptrPortAutoPartitionState for that port is frozen
until the port is next enabled. When the port
becomes enabled, the rptrPortAutoPartitionState
becomes notAutoPartitioned(1), regardless of its
pre-disabling state.)"

DESCRIPTION
"This counter is incremented by one for each
frame received by this port that meets all
of the conditions required by only one of the
following two measurement methods:
Measurement method A: 1) The CollisionEvent
signal is not asserted (10Mb/s operation) or
the Collision Count Increment state of the
partition state diagram (fig 27-8 of
[IEEE 802.3 Std]) has not been entered
(100Mb/s operation). 2) The ActivityDuration
is greater than ValidPacketMinTime. 3) The
frequency (data rate) is detectably mismatched
from the local transmit frequency.
Measurement method B: 1) The CollisionEvent
signal is not asserted (10Mb/s operation)
or the Collision Count Increment state of the
partition state diagram (fig 27-8 of
[IEEE 802.3 Std]) has not been entered
(100Mb/s operation). 2) The OctetCount is
greater than 63. 3) The frequency (data
rate) is detectably mismatched from the local
transmit frequency. The exact degree of
mismatch is vendor specific and is to be
defined by the vendor for conformance testing.
When this event occurs, other counters whose
increment conditions were satisfied may or may not
also be incremented, at the implementor's
discretion. Whether or not the repeater was able
to maintain data integrity is beyond the scope of
this standard.
A discontinuity may occur in the value
when the value of object
rptrMonitorPortLastChange changes."

rptrAddrSearchTable OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF RptrAddrSearchEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This table contains one entry per repeater in the
system. It defines objects which allow a network
management application to instruct an agent to watch
for a given MAC address and report which port it
was seen on. Only one address search can be in
progress on each repeater at any one time. Before
starting an address search, a management application
should obtain 'ownership' of the entry in
rptrAddrSearchTable for the repeater that is to
perform the search. This is accomplished with the
rptrAddrSearchLock and rptrAddrSearchStatus as
follows:
try_again:
get(rptrAddrSearchLock, rptrAddrSearchStatus)
while (rptrAddrSearchStatus != notInUse)
{
/* Loop waiting for objects to be available*/
short delay
get(rptrAddrSearchLock, rptrAddrSearchStatus)
}
/* Try to claim map objects */
lock_value = rptrAddrSearchLock
if ( set(rptrAddrSearchLock = lock_value,
rptrAddrSearchStatus = inUse,
rptrAddrSearchOwner = 'my-IP-address)
== FAILURE)
/* Another manager got the lock */
goto try_again
/* I have the lock */
set (rptrAddrSearchAddress = )
wait for rptrAddrSearchState to change from none
if (rptrAddrSearchState == single)
get (rptrAddrSearchGroup, rptrAddrSearchPort)
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 47]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
/* release the lock, making sure not to overwrite
anyone else's lock */
set (rptrAddrSearchLock = lock_value+1,
rptrAddrSearchStatus = notInUse,
rptrAddrSearchOwner = '')
A management station first retrieves the values of
the appropriate instances of the rptrAddrSearchLock
and rptrAddrSearchStatus objects, periodically
repeating the retrieval if necessary, until the value
of rptrAddrSearchStatus is 'notInUse'. The
management station then tries to set the same
instance of the rptrAddrSearchLock object to the
value it just retrieved, the same instance of the
rptrAddrSearchStatus object to 'inUse', and the
corresponding instance of rptrAddrSearchOwner to a
value indicating itself. If the set operation
succeeds, then the management station has obtained
ownership of the rptrAddrSearchEntry, and the value
of rptrAddrSearchLock is incremented by the agent (as
per the semantics of TestAndIncr). Failure of the
set operation indicates that some other manager has
obtained ownership of the rptrAddrSearchEntry.
Once ownership is obtained, the management station
can proceed with the search operation. Note that the
agent will reset rptrAddrSearchStatus to 'notInUse'
if it has been in the 'inUse' state for an abnormally
long period of time, to prevent a misbehaving manager
from permanently locking the entry. It is suggested
that this timeout period be between one and five
minutes.
When the management station has completed its search
operation, it should free the entry by setting
the instance of the rptrAddrSearchLock object to the
previous value + 1, the instance of the
rptrAddrSearchStatus to 'notInUse', and the instance
of rptrAddrSearchOwner to a zero length string. This
is done to prevent overwriting another station's
lock."

4. Topology Mapping
The network mapping algorithm presented below takes information
available from network devices such as repeaters, bridges, and
switches, and creates a representation of the physical topology of
the network.
Networking devices connect to the network via one or more ports.
Through these ports, the device is capable of hearing network packets
sent by other devices. By looking the source address in the packet,
and identifying which port the packet was heard on, the device can
provide information to a Network Management System about the location
of an address in the network, relative to that device. For devices
such as bridges and switches, the association of address to port can
be retrieved via the forwarding data base part of the Bridge MIB.
For repeaters, the rptrAddrSearchTable may be used to perform the
association.
Given this information, it would be possible for the NMS to create a
topology of the network which represents the physical relationships
of the devices in the networks. The following is an example of how
this might be done:
Assume the network:
=============================
| | |
| | |
d1 d4 d7
/ \ |
/ \ |
d2 d3 d5
|
|
d6
The discovery process would first determine the existence of the
network devices and nodes in the network. In the above example, the
network devices discovered would be:
d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7
From this list of discovered devices, select (arbitrarily or via some
heuristic) a device as the starting point. From that device,
determine where all other devices are located in the network with
respect to the selected device.
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 75]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
For example, if d1 is the selected device, the network in relation to
d1 would look like:
d1
/ | \
/ | \
d2 d3 d4,d5,d6,d7
So d1 sees d2 on one port, d3 on another port, and d4, d5, and d6 on
the third port. In other words, using the rptrAddrSearchTable (if d1
is a repeater) or the Forwarding Database (if it is a bridge or a
switch), d1 has located d2 on one port, d1 has located d3 on another
port, and finally, d1 has located d4, d5, d6, and d7 on yet another
port.
After the first step of the algorithm is accomplished, the next and
final step is a recursive one. Go to each of these temporary
'segments' (e.g., the segment connecting d1 and d2, or the segment
connecting d1 and d3, or the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6, and
d7) and determine which of these devices really belongs in that
segment.
As new segments are created due to this process, the recursive
algorithm visits them, and performs the exact same process.
In the example, the segments connecting d1 and d2, and connecting d1
and d3, require no further scrutiny, since there are only two nodes
in those segments. However, the segment connecting d1, d4, d5, d6,
and d7 may prove to be one or more segments, so we will investigate
it.
The purpose of this step is to determine which devices are really
connected to this segment, and which are actually connected
downstream. This is done by giving each of the child devices in the
segment (d4, d5, d6, and d7) a chance to eliminate each of the others
from the segment.
A device eliminates another device by showing that it hears the
parent device (in this case, d1) on one port, and the other device on
another port (different from the port on which it heard the parent).
If this is true, then it must mean that that device is _between_ the
parent device and the device which is being eliminated.
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 76]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
In the example, we can see that device d4 can eliminate both d5 and
d6, , but nobody can eliminate d4 and d7, because everybody hears
them on the same port that they hear the parent device (d1). So the
resulting topology looks like:
d1
/ | \
/ | \
d2 d3 d4,d7
|
|
d5,d6
Next the algorithm visits the next segment, which is the one
connecting d4, d5, and d6. Using the process stated above, d5 can
eliminate d6, since it hears d4 on a different port from where it
hears d6. Finally, the topology looks like:
d1
/ | \
/ | \
d2 d3 d4,d7
|
|
d5
|
|
d6
This is actually the topology shown at the beginning of the
description.
With this information about how the network devices are connected, it
is a relatively simple extension to then place nodes such as
workstations and PCs in the network. This can be done by placing the
node into a segment, then allowing the network devices to show that
the node is really not part of that segment.
This elimination can be done because the devices know what port
connects them to the segment on which the node is temporarily placed.
If they actually hear the node on a different port than that which
connects the device to the segment, then the node must be downstream,
and so it is moved onto the downstream segment. Then that segment is
evaluated, and so forth. Eventually, no device can show that the
node is connected downstream, and so it must be attached to that
segment.
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 77]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
For example, assume the network:
=============================
| | |
| | |
d1 d4 d7
/ \ |
/ \ |
d2 d3 d5
| |
| |
e1 d6
In this network, we are trying to place e1 where it belongs. We
begin by placing it arbitrarily into a segment:
==================================
| | | |
| | | |
e1 d1 d4 d7
/ \ |
/ \ |
d2 d3 d5
|
|
d6
In the above case, we would give d1, d4, and d7 a chance to show that
e1 is not really on that segment. d4 and d7 hear e1 on the same port
which connects them to that segment, so they cannot eliminate e1 from
the segment. However, d1 will hear e1 on a different port, so we
move e1 down onto the segment which is connected by that port. This
yields the following:
=============================
| | |
| | |
d1 d4 d7
/ \ |
/ \ |
d2 d3,e1 d5
|
|
d6
de Graaf, et. al. Standards Track [Page 78]
RFC 2108 802.3 Repeater MIB using SMIv2 February 1997
Now we give everyone in that segment (besides that parent device, d1)
a chance to eliminate e1. Only d3 can try, and it succeeds, so we
place e1 on segment which is connected by the port on which d3 heard
e1. There is no segment there (yet), so we create one, and end up
with the following:
=============================
| | |
| | |
d1 d4 d7
/ \ |
/ \ |
d2 d3 d5
| |
| |
e1 d6
which is the correct position.
