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 IEEE 802.3 Medium
Attachment Units (MAUs).
This memo also includes a MIB module. This MIB module extends the
list of managed objects specified in the earlier version of this MIB
module, RFC 2668 [RFC 2668].
Ethernet technology, as defined by the 802.3 Working Group of the
IEEE, continues to evolve, with scalable increases in speed, new
types of cabling and interfaces, and new features. This evolution
may require changes in the managed objects in order to reflect this
new functionality. This document, as with other documents issued by
this working group, reflects a certain stage in the evolution of
Ethernet technology. In the future, this document might be revised,
or new documents might be issued by the Ethernet Interfaces and Hub
MIB Working Group, in order to reflect the evolution of Ethernet
technology.
