Digital subscriber line access device management information base
 A digital subscriber line (DSL) access device management information base (MIB) allows the remote management of a DSL access device by using a constructed enterprise DSL MIB to define a plurality of objects that describe the operation of a DSL access device. These objects are used to monitor the performance of, and if desired, send commands to the DSL access device. The enterprise DSL MIB of the present invention contains a first child group which contains selected ones of the plurality of objects which describe information specific to digital subscriber line access devices, a second child group containing selected ones of the plurality of objects which describe statistics specific to a digital subscriber line access device link, and a third child group containing selected ones of the plurality of objects which define IP (Internet Protocol) and MAC (Media Access Control) layer filter addresses corresponding to a specific digital subscriber line access device interface on a specific digital subscriber line access device module within a digital subscriber line access device. The enterprise DSL MIB of the present invention also includes a trap child group which describes the DSL access device uptime and downtime.
