A table of descriptive and status information about the MAC Control PAUSE function on the ethernet-like interfaces attached to a particular system. There will be one row in this table for each ethernet-like interface in the system which supports the MAC Control PAUSE function (i.e., the 'pause' bit in the corresponding instance of dot3ControlFunctionsSupported is set). If some, but not all, of the ethernet-like interfaces in the system implement the MAC Control PAUSE function (for example, if some interfaces only support half-duplex), there will be fewer rows in this table than in the dot3StatsTable.
The index of the table is dot3StatsIndex.

INTEGER{disabled(1),enabledXmit(2),enabledRcv(3),enabledXmitAndRcv(4)} |
read-write |
This object is used to configure the default administrative PAUSE mode for this interface. This object represents the administratively-configured PAUSE mode for this interface. If auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, the value of this object determines the operational PAUSE mode of the interface whenever it is operating in full-duplex mode. In this case, a set to this object will force the interface into the specified mode. If auto-negotiation is implemented and enabled for the MAU attached to this interface, the PAUSE mode for this interface is determined by auto-negotiation, and the value of this object denotes the mode to which the interface will automatically revert if/when auto-negotiation is later disabled. Note that when auto-negotiation is running, administrative control of the PAUSE mode may be accomplished using the ifMauAutoNegCapAdvertisedBits object in the MAU-MIB. Note that the value of this object is ignored when the interface is not operating in full-duplex mode. An attempt to set this object to 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)' will fail on interfaces that do not support operation at greater than 100 Mb/s. |
The actually supported access is read-only. |

dot3PauseOperMode |
INTEGER{disabled(1),enabledXmit(2),enabledRcv(3),enabledXmitAndRcv(4)} |
read-only |
This object reflects the PAUSE mode currently in use on this interface, as determined by either (1) the result of the auto-negotiation function or (2) if auto-negotiation is not enabled or is not implemented for the active MAU attached to this interface, by the value of dot3PauseAdminMode. Interfaces operating at 100 Mb/s or less will never return 'enabledXmit(2)' or 'enabledRcv(3)'. Interfaces operating in half-duplex mode will always return 'disabled(1)'. Interfaces on which auto-negotiation is enabled but not yet completed should return the value 'disabled(1)'. |
This object is implemented as defined in the corresponding MIB files. |
1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.3 |
dot3InPauseFrames |
Counter32 |
read-only |
A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode. For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since that amount of time could be less than a management station's poll cycle time, in order to avoid a loss of information, a management station is advised to poll the dot3HCInPauseFrames object for 10 Gb/s or faster interfaces. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. |
This object is implemented as defined in the corresponding MIB files. |
1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.4 |
dot3OutPauseFrames |
Counter32 |
read-only |
A count of MAC Control frames transmitted on this interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode. For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since that amount of time could be less than a management station's poll cycle time, in order to avoid a loss of information, a management station is advised to poll the dot3HCOutPauseFrames object for 10 Gb/s or faster interfaces. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. |

dot3HCInPauseFrames |
Counter64 |
read-only |
A count of MAC Control frames received on this interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode. This counter is a 64 bit version of dot3InPauseFrames. It should be used on interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s or faster. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. |
This object is implemented as defined in the corresponding MIB files. |

A count of MAC Control frames transmitted on this interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode. This counter is a 64 bit version of dot3OutPauseFrames. It should be used on interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s or faster. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. |
