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 defines objects for managing Ethernet-like
   interfaces.  This memo obsoletes RFC 2665.  It updates that
   specification by including management information useful for the
   management of 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Ethernet interfaces.
