International Standard ISO/IEC 15802-2: 1995
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized System for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members
of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC
JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national
bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national
bodies casting a vote.
In 1994, ANWIEEE Std 802.1B-1992 was adopted by ISOLEC JTC 1, as draft International Standard
ISO/IEC DIS 15802-2. A further revision was subsequently approved by ISO/IEC JTC 1 in the form of this
new edition, which is published as International Standard ISO/IEC 15802-2: 1995.

This family of International Standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the ISO
Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model (ISO 7498 : 1984). The access Standards define five
types of medium access technologies and associated physical media, each appropriate for particular applica-
tions or System objectives. Other types are under investigation.
The International Standards defining the access technologies are as follows:
ISO/IEC 8802-3 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.3, 1993 Edition], a bus utilizing CSMA/CD as the access
method.
b) ISO/IEC 8802-4 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.4-19901, a bus utilizing token passing as the access method.
ISO/IEC 8802-5 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.5-19921, a ring utilizing token passing as the access method.
C>
d) ISO/IEC 8802-6 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.6, 1994 Edition], a dual bus utilizing distributed queuing as
the access method.
ISO 8802-7, a ring utilizing slotted ring as the access method.
e>
ISO/IEC TR 8802-1 provides an overview of the LAN/MAN Standards, along with details of their document
numbering.
ISO/IEC 8802-2 [ANWIEEE Std 802.2, 1994 Edition], Logical Link Control, is used in conjunction with
the medium access Standards to provide the data link layer Service to network layer protocols.
ISO/IEC 10038 [ANWIEEE Std 802. lD, 1993 Edition], Media Access Control (MAC) bridges, specifies an
architecture and protocol for the interconnection of IEEE 802 LANs below the level of the logical link con-
trol protocol.
ISO/IEC 15802-2 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.1B, 1995 Edition], LAN/MAN Management, defines an Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) management-compatible architecture, and Services and protocol elements for
use in a LAN/MAN environment for performing remote management.
ISOAEC 15802-4 [ANSUIEEE Std 802.1E, 1994 Edition], System Load Protocol, specifies a set of Services
and protocol for those aspects of management concerned with the loading of Systems in ISO/IEC LAN/
MAN environments.
The main body of the International Standard serves for both the ISO/IEC 15802-2 : 1994 and IEEE Std
802. lB, 1995 Edition Standards. ISO and IEEE each have a unique foreword.

ANSIIIEEE Std 802.1 B, 1995 Edition
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the
IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards
Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation.
They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The Standards developed within
IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute
as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in partici-
pating in the development of the Standard.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existente of an IEEE Standard
does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, mar-
ket, or provide other goods and Services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard.
Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a Standard is approved and issued is
subject to Change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the Standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to
review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is
more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that
its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the
art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any
IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested Party,
regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in docu-
ments should be in the form of a proposed Change of text, together with appropriate
supporting comments.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions
of Standards as they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations
is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appro-
priate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned inter-
ests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence
of a balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its technical com-
mittees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
Comments on Standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

1 IEEE Standards documents may involve the use of patented technology. Their 1
approval by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers does not mean that
using such technology for the purpose of conforming to such Standards is authorized
by the patent owner. It is the Obligation of the user of such technology to obtain all
necessary permissions.

* Formerly IEEE Std 802.1A.
This family of Standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the International Organi-
zation for Standardization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model (ISO 7498 : 1984).
The access Standards define several types of medium access technologies and associated physical media,
each appropriate for particular applications or System objectives. Other types are under investigation.
The Standards defining the technologies noted above are as follows:
l IEEE Std 802l: Overview and Architecture. This Standard provides an over-
view to the family of IEEE 802 Standards. This document
forms part of the 802.1 scope of work.
l ANSUIEEE Std 802.1B LAN/MAN Management. Defines an Open Systems
[ISO/IEC 15802-21: Interconnection (OSI) management-compatible architecture,
and Services and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN
environment for performing remote management.
l ANWIEEE Std 802.1D MAC Bridging. Specifies an architecture and protocol for the
[ISO/IEC 100381: interconnection of IEEE 802 LANs below the MAC Service
boundary.
l ANWIEEE Std 802.1E System Load Protocol. Specifies a set of Services and protocol
[ISO/IEC 15802-41: for those aspects of management concerned with the loading of
Systems on IEEE 802 LANs.
‘The 802 Architecture and Overview Standard, originally known as IEEE Std 802.1 A, has been renumbered as IEEE Std 802. This has
been done to accommodate recognition of the base Standard in a family of Standards. References to IEEE Std 802.1A should be consid-
ered as references to IEEE Std 802.

l ANSIAEEE Std 802.2 [ISO/IEC 8802-21: Logical Link Control
l ANSUIEEE Std 802.3 [ISO/IEC 8802-31: CSMA/CD Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications
l ANSUIEEE Std 802.4 [ISO/IEC 8802-41: Token Bus Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications
l ANSUIEEE Std 802.5 [ISO/IEC 8802-5 : Token Ring Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications
l ANSUIEEE Std 802.6 [ISO/IEC 8802-6 : Distributed Queue Dual Bus Access Method and Physical
Layer Specifications
l IEEE Std 802.9: Integrated Services (1s) LAN Interface at the Medium Access
Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) Layers
l IEEE Std 802.10: Interoperable LAN/MAN Security, Currently approved.
Secure Data Exchange (SDE)
In addition to the family of Standards, the following is a recommended practice for a common Physical
Layer technology:
l IEEE Std 802.7: IEEE Recommended Practice for Broadband Local Area
Networks
The following additional working groups have authorized Standards projects under development:
l IEEE 802.11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) Sublayer and
Physical Layer Specifications
l IEEE 802.12: Demand Priority Access Method/Physical Layer Specifications
Conformance test methodology
An additional Standards series, identified by the number 1802, has been established to identify the
conformance test methodology documents for the 802 family of Standards. Thus the conformance test
documents for 802.3 are numbered 1802.3, the conformance test documents for 802.5 will be 1802.5, and so
on. Similarly, ISO will use 18802 to number conformance test Standards for 8802 Standards.
ANWIEEE Std 15802-2 : 1995 Edition
This document defines Services and protocol elements that permit the exchange of management information
between stations attached to IEEE 802 local and metropolitan area networks. The Standard includes the spec-
ification of managed objects that permit the Operation of the protocol elements to be remotely managed.
The reader of this Standard is urged to become familiar with the compl ete family of Standards.

This Standard contains state-of-the-art material. The area covered by this Standard is undergoing evolution.
Revisions are anticipated within the next few years to clarify existing material, to correct possible errors, and
to incorporate new related material. Information on the current revision state of this and other IEEE 802
Standards may be obtained from

Part 2: LAN/MAN management
1. Scope
This International Standard defines an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management-compatible archi-
tecture, and Service and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN environment for the purpose of perform-
ing remote management of LAN-based or MAN-based devices. The protocol described is a connectionless-
mode management protocol that makes use of Logical Link Control (LLC) Type 1 procedures as a means of
conveying management information between stations in a LAN/MAN environment, thus providing for inter-
working of ISO/IEC Standard LAN/MAN devices for management purposes. The management information
is conveyed using the protocol data unit (PDU) formats defined in ISO/IEC 9596-1 : 199 1 .l To this end, this
International Standard
Describes the Services required for the transfer of management information between management
a>
processes in LANIMAN stations.
Defines the protocol and PDUs for conducting management information exchanges that support the
b)
Provision of those Services. This protocol is defined as an (N)-layer management protocol specific
to the management of layers 1 and 2 in a LAN/MAN environment.
Defines a convergence protocol and PDUs used for the exchange of management PDUs.
C>
Describes the underlying Services required for transfer of management PDUs between peer-man-
d)
agement entities by means of the convergence protocol.
Defines an access control mechanism and an event report forwarding mechanism that operate in
e>
conjunction with the management protocol.
Defines managed Object classes that relate to the Operation of the management protocol and the
convergence protocol.
This International Standard provides the PICS proforma for the System Load Protocol in compliance with
the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-2 : 1991.
NOTES
1This International Standard provides only a set of management tools. The management operations that are specified
by this International Standard are only meaningful in conjunction with the managed Object definitions contained in the
appropriate layer Standards.
2-This International Standard defines an (N)-layer management protocol for the management of stations attached to
ISO/IEC Standard LAN or MAN subnetworks, in accordance with the terminology contained in the OS1 Management
Framework, ISO/IEC 7498-4 : 1989 and the OS1 Systems Management Overview, ISO/IEC 10040 : 1992. The Service
and protocol described in this International Standard are based upon the OS1 Common Management Information Service
and Protocol Standards (ISO/IEC 9595 : 1991 and ISO/IEC 9596-1 : 1991), and are therefore designed to be used in con-
junction with managed objects defined in accordance with the Guidelines for the definition of managed objects (ISO/IEC
101654 : 1992). As such, this International Standard is intended to be complementary to the functionality of the OS1
Management Standards being developed in ISO/IEC JTCl SC2UWG4.

3-To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a Statement of which capabilities and
Options have been implemented for a given protocol. Such a Statement is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance
Statement (PICS). Annex A to this International Standard contains the PICS proforma for the LAN/MAN Management
Protocol.
