1. Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
STD 16/RFC 1155 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD
16/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. STD 17/RFC 1213 [4] defines
MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience
and new operational requirements.
STD 15/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.
2. 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
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 2]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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.
2.1. Format of Definitions
Section 4 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].
3. 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.
3.1. Terminology
3.1.1. 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
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 3]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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.
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."
3.1.2. 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:

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
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 4]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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.
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.

Figure 2. Repeater Set
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 5]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 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.
3.1.3. 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.
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.
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 6]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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.
3.2. 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].

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.
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
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 8]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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 assertion of the CarrierEvent signal due to
the reception of the following event.
3.3. Structure of MIB
Objects in this MIB are arranged into MIB groups. Each MIB group is
organized as a set of related objects.
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 9]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
3.3.1. 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.
3.3.2. The Monitor Group Definitions
This optional group contains monitoring statistics for the repeater
as a whole and for individual ports.
3.3.3. 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.
3.4. 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].
3.4.1. 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.
3.4.2. 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 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
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 10]
RFC 1368 802.3 Repeater MIB October 1992
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

3.5. 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.

rptrGroupCapacity OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (1..1024)
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The rptrGroupCapacity is the number of groups
that can be contained within the repeater. Within
each managed repeater, the groups are uniquely
numbered in the range from 1 to rptrGroupCapacity.
Some groups may not be present in the repeater, in
which case the actual number of groups present
will be less than rptrGroupCapacity. The number
of groups present will never be greater than
rptrGroupCapacity.
Note: In practice, this will generally be the
number of field-replaceable units (i.e., modules,
cards, or boards) that can fit in the physical
repeater enclosure, and the group numbers will
correspond to numbers marked on the physical
enclosure."

Setting this object to enabled(1) enables the port

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

ShortEventMaxTime and less than ValidPacketMinTime
and the CollisionEvent signal is deasserted. b)
The OctetCount is less than 64, the
ActivityDuration is greater than ShortEventMaxTime
and the CollisionEvent signal is deasserted.
ValidPacketMinTime is greater than or equal to 552
bit times and less than 565 bit times.
An event whose length is greater than 74 bit times
but less than 82 bit times shall increment either
the shortEvents counter or the runts counter but
not both. A CarrierEvent greater than or equal to
552 bit times but less than 565 bit times may or
may not be counted as a runt.
ValidPacketMinTime has tolerances included to
provide for circuit losses between a conformance
test point at the AUI and the measurement point
within the state machine.
Runts usually indicate collision fragments, a
normal network event. In certain situations
associated with large diameter networks a

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

This counter is redundant in the sense that it is
the summation of information already available
through other objects. However, it is included
specifically because the regular retrieval of this
object as a means of tracking the health of a port
provides a considerable optimization of network
management traffic over the otherwise necessary
retrieval of the summed counters."

DESCRIPTION
"The rptrResetEvent trap conveys information
McMaster & McCloghrie [Page 36]

related to the operational status of the repeater.
This trap is sent on completion of a repeater
reset action. A repeater reset action is defined
as an a transition to the START state of Fig 9-2
in section 9 [IEEE 802.3 Std], when triggered by a
management command (e.g., an SNMP Set on the
rptrReset object).
The agent must throttle the generation of
consecutive rptrResetEvent traps so that there is
at least a five-second gap between them.
The rptrResetEvent trap is not sent when the agent
restarts and sends an SNMP coldStart or warmStart
trap. However, it is recommended that a repeater
agent send the rptrOperStatus object as an
optional object with its coldStart and warmStart
trap PDUs.
The rptrOperStatus object must be included in the
varbind list sent with this trap. The agent may
optionally include the rptrHealthText object as
well."
