This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing Network
Interfaces.  This memo discusses the \'interfaces' group of MIB-II
[17], especially the experience gained from the definition of numerous
media-specific MIB modules for use in conjunction with the
'interfaces' group for managing various sub-layers beneath the
internetwork-layer.  It specifies clarifications to, and extensions
of, the architectural issues within the MIB-II model of the
'interfaces' group.  This memo obsoletes RFC 2233, the previous
version of the Interfaces Group MIB.

This document is a product of the Interfaces MIB Working Group of the
IETF.

This is now a Draft Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
