IEEE 802.4 Token Bus MIB
 Status of this Memo
This memo defines a MIB for the IEEE 802.4 Token Bus for use with the
SNMP protocol. This memo is a product of the Transmission Working
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This RFC
specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet community,
and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please
refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards"
for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1. Abstract
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, this memo defines managed
objects used for managing subnetworks which use the IEEE 802.4 Token
Bus technology described in 802.4 Token-Passing Bus Access Method and
Physical Layer Specifications, IEEE Standard 802.4.
Transmission Working Group PAGE 1 
RFC 1230 IEEE 802.4 MIB May 1991
2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management. RFC 1212
defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly
consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
the Internet suite of protocols. RFC 1213, defines MIB-II, an
evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
operational requirements.
RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network
access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
3. Objects
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [7]
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object has a name, a syntax,
and an encoding. The name is an object identifier, an
administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the OBJECT
DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.
The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language is used for
this purpose. However, the SMI [3] purposely restricts the ASN.1
constructs which may be used. These restrictions are explicitly made
for simplicity.
The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is
represented using the object type's syntax. Implicitly tied to the
notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type
is represented when being transmitted on the network.
The SMI specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8],
subject to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.
Transmission Working Group PAGE 2
RFC 1230 IEEE 802.4 MIB May 1991
3.1. Format of Definitions
Section 5 contains contains the specification of all object types
contained in this MIB module. The object types are defined using the
conventions defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions
specified in [9,10].
4. Overview
This memo defines three tables:
- the 802.4 Operational Table containing state and
operational parameter information which is specific to
802.4 interfaces;
- the 802.4 Initialization Table containing the parameter
information used by an 802.4 interface as the values to
be assigned to its operational parameters upon
initialization; and
- the 802.4 Statistics Table containing 802.4 interface
statistics.
A managed system will have one entry in each of these tables for each
of its 802.4 interfaces.
This memo also defines OBJECT IDENTIFIERs, some to identify 802.4
tests, for use with the ifExtnsTestTable defined in [11], and some to
identify Token Bus interface Chip Sets, for use with the
ifExtnsChipSet object defined in [11].
4.1. Scope of Definitions
All objects defined in this memo are registered in a single subtree
within the experimental namespace [3], and are for use with every
interface which conforms to the IEEE 802.4 Token Bus Access Method
[10]. At present, this applies to interfaces for which the ifType
variable in the Internet-standard MIB [4,6] has the value:
iso88024-tokenBus(8)
For these interfaces, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the
MIB-II [6] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value:
dot4 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { experimental 7 }
as defined below.
Transmission Working Group PAGE 3
RFC 1230 IEEE 802.4 MIB May 1991
4.2. Textual Conventions
Two new datatypes, MacAddress and OctetTime, are introduced as
textual conventions in this document. These textual conventions have
NO effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed
object. Objects defined using these conventions are always encoded by
means of the rules that define their primitive type. Hence, no
changes to the SMI or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these
textual conventions which are adopted merely for the convenience of
readers and writers in pursuit of the elusive goal of a concise and
unambiguous specification.
4.3. Optional Objects
A few objects are defined in this memo with "optional" status for the
purpose of allowing experimentation to determine whether they are
useful or not. If sufficient consensus is reached in the Internet
community to result in a subsequent revision of this memo being
placed in the Internet-standard MIB, then these optional objects will
either be removed or become mandatory.

-- interface to check the path from memory through the chip
-- set's serial interface back to memory, thus checking the
-- proper functioning of the transmit and receive machines
-- of the token bus hardware.
-- This test may only be invoked when the interface is
-- the Offline state.
-- The FIFO Path test is defined by:
testFifoPath OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot4Tests 1 }
-- Invoking this test causes the interface to check the path
-- from memory to the chip set's FIFO and back to memory.
-- This test checks the hosts interface to the token bus
-- hardware. This test may only be invoked when the
-- interface is the Offline state.
-- The External Loopback test is defined by:
testExternalLoopback OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot4Tests 2 }
-- Invoking this test causes the interface to check the path
-- from memory through the chip set and out onto the network
-- for external (e.g., at the head-end) loopback through the
-- chip set to memory. This test checks the host's interface
-- to the 802.4 network. This test is liable to cause
-- serious disruption if invoked on an operational network.
-- 802.4 Hardware Chip Sets
dot4ChipSets OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { dot4 6 }
-- The extensions to the interfaces table proposed in [11]
-- define an object, ifExtnsChipSet, with the syntax of
-- OBJECT IDENTIFIER, to identify the hardware chip set in
-- use by an interface. That definition specifies just
-- one applicable object identifier:
--
-- unknownChipSet
--
-- for use as the value of ifExtnsChipSet when the specific
-- chip set is unknown.
