DESCRIPTION "A count of frames for which transmission on a
particular interface fails due to an internal
MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is only
counted by an instance of this object if it is
not counted by the corresponding instance of
either the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the
dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by
an instance of this object is implementation-
specific. In particular, an instance of this
object may represent a count of transmission
errors on a particular interface that are not
otherwise counted.
For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this
counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if
it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since
that amount of time could be less than a
management station’s poll cycle time, in order
to avoid a loss of information, a management
station is advised to poll the
dot3HCStatsInternalMacTransmitErrors object for
10 Gb/s or faster interfaces.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can
occur at re-initialization of the management
system, and at other times as indicated by the
value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime."

DESCRIPTION "A count of frames received on a particular
interface that exceed the maximum permitted
frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this
object is incremented when the frameTooLong
status is returned by the MAC service to the
LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for
which multiple error conditions pertain are,
according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3
Layer Management, counted exclusively according
to the error status presented to the LLC.
For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this
counter can roll over in less than 80 minutes if
it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since
that amount of time could be less than a
management station’s poll cycle time, in order
to avoid a loss of information, a management

dot3StatsEtherChipSet OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OBJECT IDENTIFIER
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS deprecated
DESCRIPTION "******** THIS OBJECT IS DEPRECATED ********
This object contains an OBJECT IDENTIFIER
which identifies the chipset used to
realize the interface. Ethernet-like
interfaces are typically built out of
several different chips. The MIB implementor
is presented with a decision of which chip
to identify via this object. The implementor
should identify the chip which is usually
called the Medium Access Control chip.
If no such chip is easily identifiable,
the implementor should identify the chip
which actually gathers the transmit
and receive statistics and error
indications. This would allow a
manager station to correlate the
statistics and the chip generating
them, giving it the ability to take
into account any known anomalies
in the chip.
This object has been deprecated. Implementation
feedback indicates that it is of limited use for
debugging network problems in the field, and
the administrative overhead involved in
maintaining a registry of chipset OIDs is not
justified."

MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "For an interface operating at 100 Mb/s, the
number of times there was an invalid data symbol
when a valid carrier was present.
For an interface operating in half-duplex mode
at 1000 Mb/s, the number of times the receiving
media is non-idle (a carrier event) for a period
of time equal to or greater than slotTime, and
during which there was at least one occurrence
of an event that causes the PHY to indicate
’Data reception error’ or ’carrier extend error’
on the GMII.
For an interface operating in full-duplex mode
at 1000 Mb/s, the number of times the receiving
media is non-idle (a carrier event) for a period
of time equal to or greater than minFrameSize,
and during which there was at least one
occurrence of an event that causes the PHY to
indicate ’Data reception error’ on the GMII.
For an interface operating at 10 Gb/s, the
number of times the receiving media is non-idle
(a carrier event) for a period of time equal to
or greater than minFrameSize, and during which
there was at least one occurrence of an event
that causes the PHY to indicate ’Receive Error’
on the XGMII.
The count represented by an instance of this
object is incremented at most once per carrier
event, even if multiple symbol errors occur
during the carrier event. This count does
not increment if a collision is present.
This counter does not increment when the
interface is operating at 10 Mb/s.
For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this
counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if
it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since
that amount of time could be less than a

}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "The current mode of operation of the MAC
entity. ’unknown’ indicates that the current
duplex mode could not be determined.
Management control of the duplex mode is
accomplished through the MAU MIB. When
an interface does not support autonegotiation,
or when autonegotiation is not enabled, the
duplex mode is controlled using
ifMauDefaultType. When autonegotiation is
supported and enabled, duplex mode is controlled
using ifMauAutoNegAdvertisedBits. In either
case, the currently operating duplex mode is
reflected both in this object and in ifMauType.
Note that this object provides redundant
information with ifMauType. Normally, redundant
objects are discouraged. However, in this
instance, it allows a management application to
determine the duplex status of an interface
without having to know every possible value of
ifMauType. This was felt to be sufficiently
valuable to justify the redundancy."
