1.  Introduction

   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 ethernet-like objects.

   This memo also includes a MIB module.  This MIB module corrects minor
   errors in the earlier version of this MIB: RFC 1398 [15] and also
   re-specifies that MIB in a manner which is both compliant to the
   SNMPv2 SMI and semantically-identical to the existing SNMPv1-based
   definitions.
