This standard contains the Management Information Base (MIB) module specifications for IEEE Std 802.3, also known as Ethernet. It includes the Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2) MIB module specifications formerly produced and published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) MIB modules formerly specified within IEEE Std 802.3, as well as extensions resulting from recent amendments to IEEE Std 802.3. The… read more SMIv2 MIB modules are intended for use with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), commonly used to manage Ethernet. read less
This standard defines Ethernet local area, access and metropolitan area networks. Ethernet is specified at selected speeds of operation; and uses a common media access control (MAC) specification and management information base (MIB). The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) provide an architectural and optional… read more implementation interface to selected Physical Layer entities (PHY). The Physical Layer encodes frames for transmission and decodes received frames with the modulation specified for the speed of operation, transmission medium and supported link length. Other specified capabilities include: control and management protocols, and the provision of power over selected twisted pair PHY types. read less
The scope of this project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std 802.3 to add 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Physical Layer (PHY) specifications and management parameters for operation over backplanes consistent with current storage interconnect applications within a single rack.
Define Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) parameters, Physical Layer specifications, and management parameters for the transfer of Ethernet format frames at 50 Gb/s over copper and optical media. Define additional Physical Layer specifications and management parameters at 100 Gb/s over copper and optical media. Define additional Physical Layer specifications and management parameters at 200 Gb/s over copper and multimode fiber physical media.
