        DESCRIPTION
          "The MIB module for managing the new Ethernet OAM features
          introduced by the Ethernet in the First Mile taskforce (IEEE
          802.3ah).  The functionality presented here is based on IEEE
          802.3ah [802.3ah], released in October, 2004.  [802.3ah] was
          prepared as an addendum to the standing version of IEEE 802.3
          [802.3-2002].  Since then, [802.3ah] has been
          merged into the base IEEE 802.3 specification in [802.3-2005].

          In particular, this MIB focuses on the new OAM functions
          introduced in Clause 57 of [802.3ah].  The OAM functionality
          of Clause 57 is controlled by new management attributes
          introduced in Clause 30 of [802.3ah].  The OAM functions are
          not specific to any particular Ethernet physical layer, and
          can be generically applied to any Ethernet interface of
          [802.3-2002].

          An Ethernet OAM protocol data unit is a valid Ethernet frame
          with a destination MAC address equal to the reserved MAC
          address for Slow Protocols (See 43B of [802.3ah]), a
          lengthOrType field equal to the reserved type for Slow
          Protocols, and a Slow Protocols subtype equal to that of the
          subtype reserved for Ethernet OAM.  OAMPDU is used throughout
          this document as an abbreviation for Ethernet OAM protocol
          data unit.

          The following reference is used throughout this MIB module:

        DESCRIPTION
          "At initialization and failure conditions, two OAM entities on
Top   ToC   RFC4878 - Page 13
          the same full-duplex Ethernet link begin a discovery phase to
          determine what OAM capabilities may be used on that link.  The
          progress of this initialization is controlled by the OA
          sublayer.

          This value is always disabled(1) if OAM is disabled on this
          interface via the dot3OamAdminState.

          If the link has detected a fault and is transmitting OAMPDUs
          with a link fault indication, the value is linkFault(2).
          Also, if the interface is not operational (ifOperStatus is
          not up(1)), linkFault(2) is returned.  Note that the object
          ifOperStatus may not be up(1) as a result of link failure or
          administrative action (ifAdminState being down(2) or
          testing(3)).

          The passiveWait(3) state is returned only by OAM entities in
          passive mode (dot3OamMode) and reflects the state in which the
          OAM entity is waiting to see if the peer device is OA
          capable.  The activeSendLocal(4) value is used by active mode
          devices (dot3OamMode) and reflects the OAM entity actively
          trying to discover whether the peer has OAM capability but has
          not yet made that determination.

          The state sendLocalAndRemote(5) reflects that the local OA
          entity has discovered the peer but has not yet accepted or
          rejected the configuration of the peer.  The local device can,
          for whatever reason, decide that the peer device is
          unacceptable and decline OAM peering.  If the local OAM entity
          rejects the peer OAM entity, the state becomes
          oamPeeringLocallyRejected(7).  If the OAM peering is allowed
          by the local device, the state moves to
          sendLocalAndRemoteOk(6).  Note that both the
          sendLocalAndRemote(5) and oamPeeringLocallyRejected(7) states
          fall within the state SEND_LOCAL_REMOTE of the Discovery state
          diagram [802.3ah, Figure 57-5], with the difference being
          whether the local OAM client has actively rejected the peering
          or has just not indicated any decision yet.  Whether a peering
          decision has been made is indicated via the local flags field
          in the OAMPDU (reflected in the aOAMLocalFlagsField of
          30.3.6.1.10).

          If the remote OAM entity rejects the peering, the state
          becomes oamPeeringRemotelyRejected(8).  Note that both the
          sendLocalAndRemoteOk(6) and oamPeeringRemotelyRejected(8)
          states fall within the state SEND_LOCAL_REMOTE_OK of the
          Discovery state diagram [802.3ah, Figure 57-5], with the
          difference being whether the remote OAM client has rejected
Top   ToC   RFC4878 - Page 14
          the peering or has just not yet decided.  This is indicated
          via the remote flags field in the OAMPDU (reflected in the
          aOAMRemoteFlagsField of 30.3.6.1.11).

          When the local OAM entity learns that both it and the remote
          OAM entity have accepted the peering, the state moves to
          operational(9) corresponding to the SEND_ANY state of the
          Discovery state diagram [802.3ah, Figure 57-5].

          Since Ethernet OAM functions are not designed to work
          completely over half-duplex interfaces, the value
          nonOperHalfDuplex(10) is returned whenever Ethernet OAM is
          enabled (dot3OamAdminState is enabled(1)), but the interface
          is in half-duplex operation.

          'active' mode or 'passive' mode.  These two modes differ in
          that active mode provides additional capabilities to initiate
          monitoring activities with the remote OAM peer entity, while
          passive mode generally waits for the peer to initiate OA
          actions with it.  As an example, an active OAM entity can put
          the remote OAM entity in a loopback state, where a passive OA
          entity cannot.

          The default value of dot3OamMode is dependent on the type of
          system on which this Ethernet-like interface resides.  The
          default value should be 'active(2)' unless it is known that
          this system should take on a subservient role to the other
          device connected over this interface.

          Changing this value results in incrementing the configuration
          revision field of locally generated OAMPDUs (30.3.6.1.12) and
          potentially re-doing the OAM discovery process if the
          dot3OamOperStatus was already operational(9).

          as well as by the actions of the local OAM client.  When
          operating in normal mode with no loopback in progress, the
          status reads noLoopback(1).

          The values initiatingLoopback(2) and terminatingLoopback(4)
          can be read or written.  The other values can only be read -
          they can never be written.  Writing initiatingLoopback causes
          the local OAM entity to start the loopback process with its
          peer.  This value can only be written when the status is
          noLoopback(1).  Writing the value initiatingLoopback(2) in any
          other state has no effect.  When in remoteLoopback(3), writing
          terminatingLoopback(4) causes the local OAM entity to initiate
          the termination of the loopback state.  Writing
          terminatingLoopack(4) in any other state has no effect.

          If the OAM client initiates a loopback and has sent a
          Loopback OAMPDU and is waiting for a response, where the local
          parser and multiplexer states are DISCARD (see [802.3ah,
          57.2.11.1]), the status is 'initiatingLoopback'.  In this
          case, the local OAM entity has yet to receive any
          acknowledgment that the remote OAM entity has received its
          loopback command request.
Top   ToC   RFC4878 - Page 22
          If the local OAM client knows that the remote OAM entity is in
          loopback mode (via the remote state information as described
          in [802.3ah, 57.2.11.1, 30.3.6.1.15]), the status is
          remoteLoopback(3).  If the local OAM client is in the process
          of terminating the remote loopback [802.3ah, 57.2.11.3,
          30.3.6.1.14] with its local multiplexer and parser states in
          DISCARD, the status is terminatingLoopback(4).  If the remote
          OAM client has put the local OAM entity in loopback mode as
          indicated by its local parser state, the status is
          localLoopback(5).

          The unknown(6) status indicates that the parser and
          multiplexer combination is unexpected.  This status may be
          returned if the OAM loopback is in a transition state but
          should not persist.

Top   ToC   RFC4878 - Page 31
          Notifications and configure the thresholds to generate the
          standard Ethernet OAM events.  There is one entry in the table
          for every entry in dot3OamTable that supports OAM events
          (where dot3OamFunctionsSupported includes the eventSupport
          bit set).  The values in the table are maintained across
          changes to dot3OamOperStatus.

          The standard threshold crossing events are:
            - Errored Symbol Period Event.  Generated when the number of
              symbol errors exceeds a threshold within a given window
              defined by a number of symbols (for example, 1,000 symbols
              out of 1,000,000 had errors).
            - Errored Frame Period Event.  Generated when the number of
              frame errors exceeds a threshold within a given window
              defined by a number of frames (for example, 10 frames out
              of 1000 had errors).
            - Errored Frame Event.  Generated when the number of frame
              errors exceeds a threshold within a given window defined
              by a period of time (for example, 10 frames in 1 second
              had errors).
            - Errored Frame Seconds Summary Event.  Generated when the
              number of errored frame seconds exceeds a threshold within
              a given time period (for example, 10 errored frame seconds
              within the last 100 seconds).  An errored frame second is
              defined as a 1 second interval which had >0 frame errors.
          There are other events (dying gasp, critical events) that are
          not threshold crossing events but which can be
          enabled/disabled via this table.
