  RFC2358, in turn, is almost completely based on both the Standard Ethernet MIB, RFC1643 [21], and the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB using the SNMPv2 SMI, RFC1650 [22], both of which were edited by Frank Kastenholz of FTP Software and produced by the Interfaces MIB Working Group. RFC2358 extends those documents by providing support for 100 Mb/sec ethernet interfaces. RFC1643 and RFC1650, in turn, are based on the Draft Standard Ethernet MIB, RFC1398 [20], also edited by Frank Kastenholz and produced by the Ethernet MIB Working Group. RFC1398, in turn, is based on the Proposed Standard Ethernet MIB, RFC1284 [18], which was edited by John Cook of Chipcom and produced by the Transmission MIB Working Group. The Ethernet MIB Working Group gathered implementation experience of the variables specified in RFC1284, documented that experience in RFC1369 [19], and used that information to develop this revised MIB. RFC1284, in turn, is based on a document written by Frank Kastenholz, then of Interlan, entitled IEEE 802.3 Layer Management Draft M compatible MIB for TCP/IP Networks [17]. This document was modestly reworked, initially by the SNMP Working Group, and then by the Transmission Working Group, to reflect the current conventions for defining objects for MIB interfaces. James Davin, of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, and Keith McCloghrie of Hughes LAN Systems, contributed to later drafts of this memo. Marshall Rose of Performance Systems International, Inc. converted the document into RFC1212 [3] concise format. Anil Rijsinghani of DEC contributed text that more adequately describes the TDR test. Thanks to Frank Kastenholz of Interlan and Louis Steinberg of IBM for their experimentation. 7. References [1] Harrington, D., Presuhn, R. and B.

Security Considerations There are two management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may be considered to contain sensitive information. In particular, the dot3StatsEtherChipSet object may be considered sensitive in many environments, since it would allow an intruder to obtain information about which vendor's equipment is in use on the network. Note that this object has been deprecated. However, some implementors may still choose to implement it for backwards compatability. Therefore, it may be important in some environments to control read access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. Not all versions of SNMP provide features for such a secure environment. SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure environment. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET (read) the objects in this MIB. It is recommended that the implementors consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC2574 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model RFC2575 [15] is recommended. It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly configured to give access to those objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to access them. 9.

(6) The following object DESCRIPTION clauses have been updated to reflect behaviour on full-duplex and 1000 Mb/s interfaces: dot3StatsAlignmentErrors, dot3StatsFCSErrors, dot3StatsSQETestErrors, dot3StatsLateCollisions, dot3StatsSymbolErrors. (7) Two new tables, dot3ControlTable and dot3PauseTable, have been added. (8) A new object, dot3StatsDuplexStatus, has been added. (9) The object groups and compliances have been restructured. (10) The dot3StatsEtherChipSet object has been deprecated. (11) The dot3ChipSets have been moved to a separate document. A.2. Changes between RFC1650 and RFC2358 This section enumerates changes made to RFC1650 to produce RFC2358. (1) The MODULE-IDENTITY has been updated to reflect the changes in the MIB. (2) A new object, dot3StatsSymbolErrors, has been added. (3) The definition of the object dot3StatsIndex has been converted to use the SMIv2 OBJECT-TYPE macro. (4) A new conformance group, etherStats100MbsGroup, has been added. (5) A new compliance statement, ether100MbsCompliance, has been added. (6) The Acknowledgements were extended to provide a more complete history of the origin of this document. (7) The discussion of ifType has been expanded. (8) A section on mapping of Interfaces MIB objects has been added. (9) A section defining the relationship of this MIB to the MAU MIB has been added. (10) A section on the mapping of IEEE 802.3 managed objects to this MIB and the Interfaces MIB has been added. (11) Converted the dot3Tests, dot3Errors, and dot3ChipSets OIDs to use the OBJECT-IDENTITY macro. (12) Added to the list of registered dot3ChipSets. (13) An intellectual property notice and copyright notice were added, as required by RFC2026. B. Full Copyright Statement Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1999). All Rights Reserved.
