This document records the transfer of responsibility for the
Ethernet-related MIB modules DOT3-OAM-MIB, SNMP-REPEATER-MIB,
POWER-ETHERNET-MIB, DOT3-EPON-MIB, EtherLike-MIB, EFM-CU-MIB,
ETHER-WIS, and MAU-MIB from the IETF to the IEEE 802.3 Working
Group (WG). This document also describes the procedures
associated with the transfer in a similar way to how RFC 4663
records the transfer of the IETF Bridge MIB work to the IEEE
802.1 WG.
, published in September 2006, described a plan
for transferring responsibility for four MIB modules related to bridges from
the IETF to IEEE 802.1. Some years later, responsibility for eight more MIB
modules was transferred from the IETF Ethernet Interfaces and Hub MIB
(hubmib) WG to the IEEE 802.3 WG. The MIB modules
concerned are tabulated below (). clearly enunciates the motivation for both transfers and
also provides an introduction to IEEE standardization procedures. The
discussions of those topics will not be repeated here.
The IEEE version of this second lot of transferred MIB modules was
published as 802.3.1-2011 in February 2011. The IEEE 802.3.1 specification
was subsequently updated. The latest version, IEEE 802.3.1-2013 , is the basis for this document.
This section tabulates the MIB modules that were transferred to IEEE 802.3,
identifying the IETF source document, the corresponding clause of
, and the location of the MIB itself
in ASCII format.

The content of Section 2.2 of is also
accurate for this document.
The IEEE 802.3 WG adopted the approach recommended in Section 2.3 of of developing an IEEE MIB module and
defining new compliance clauses under the IEEE OID branch. Information
about the IEEE 802.3 Management Registration Arcs can be found at
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/arcs/index.html>.
The Ethernet Interfaces and Hub MIB WG has completed its documents, and
the WG was closed in September 2007. The mailing list stayed open for a
while and was closed a few years later. The appropriate mailing list for
IEEE 802.3 MIB modules discussion is STDS-802-3-MIB@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG.
To see general information about 802.3, including how they work and
how to participate, go to <http://www.ieee802.org/3/>.
The content of Section 5 of is also accurate for this
document, noting that from the point of view of the present document,
802.3 should replace 802.1 wherever it occurs in the text.
This document records the transfer of ownership of Ethernet-related
MIB modules to IEEE 802.3.1 several years ago. The transfer has no security
implications.

Thanks to Juergen Schoenwaelder and Howard Frazier for their reviews
and comments on both the initial and the present versions of this
document. During WG Last Call, Warren Kumari caught a
nit, and Thomas Petch raised the point of ownership versus
responsibility that resulted in some wording changes in the Abstract
and Introduction.
