CSA序言信息技术部门内的标准制定与国际标准制定相协调。通过CSA信息技术技术委员会（TCIT），加拿大人担任加拿大标准委员会（SCC）ISO/IEC信息技术联合技术委员会（ISO/IEC JTC1）的SCC镜像委员会（SMC），该委员会是加拿大的ISO成员机构，也是IEC加拿大国家委员会的发起人。此外，作为国际电信联盟（ITU）的成员，加拿大还参加了国际电报和电话咨询委员会（ITU-T）。为简洁起见，本标准通篇称为“CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3-1”。出版时，ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3-1: ISO和IEC仅提供英文版2015。CSA集团将在ISO和IEC发布法文版。范围本标准包含IEEE Std 802.3（也称为以太网）的管理信息库（MIB）模块规范。它包括以前由互联网工程任务组（IETF）编制和发布的管理信息版本2（SMIv2）MIB模块规范的结构，以及IEEE标准802.3中以前规定的管理对象（GDMO）MIB模块定义指南中提供的管理对象分支和叶分配，以及最近对IEEE标准802.3的修订所产生的扩展。SMIv2 MIB模块旨在与通常用于管理以太网的简单网络管理协议（SNMP）一起使用。

CSA PrefaceStandards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3-1" throughout. At the time of publication, ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3-1:2015 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.ScopeThis standard contains the Management Information Base (MIB) module specifications for IEEE Std 802.3, also known as Ethernet. It includes the Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2) MIB module specifications formerly produced and published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the managed object branch and leaf assignments provided in the Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) MIB modules formerly specified within IEEE Std 802.3, as well as extensions resulting from recent amendments to IEEE Std 802.3. The SMIv2 MIB modules are intended for use with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), commonly used to manage Ethernet.
