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 describes objects used for managing DS3 and E3
   interfaces.  This document is a companion document with Definitions
   of Managed Objects for the DS0 (RFC 2494 [25]), DS1/E1/DS2/E2 (RFC
   2495 [17]), and the work in progress SONET/SDH Interface Types.

   This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant
   to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the peer SNMPv1
   definitions.
