Abstract

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 objects used for managing DS0 and DS0 Bundle interfaces. This document is a companion document with Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS1/E1/DS2/E2 (RFC 2495 [17]), DS3/E3 (RFC 2496 [18]), and the work in progress, SONET/SDH Interface Types.

This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the peer SNMPv1 definitions.

1 The SNMP Management Framework

The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components:


Page 3

This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB.

2 Overview

These objects are used when the particular media being used to realize an interface is a DS0 interface. At present, this applies to these values of the ifType variable in the Internet-standard MIB:

ds0 (81)
ds0Bundle (82)

2.1 BONDing Terminology

Please reference The BONDing Spec [20] for definitions of terms used to describe bonding modes.

2.2 Use of ifTable for DS0 Layer

The following items are defined in RFC 2233 [16].

Only the ifGeneralInformationGroup and ifCounterDiscontinuityGroup need to be supported.

              ifTable Object           Use for DS0 Layer
   ======================================================================
              ifIndex                  Interface index.

              ifDescr                  See interfaces MIB [16].

              ifType                   ds0(81) or ds0Bundle(82).

              ifSpeed                  64000 for ds0 (regardless of the
                                       setting of robbed bit signalling)
                                       or N*64000 for ds0Bundle.

              ifPhysAddress            The value of the Circuit
                                       Identifier.  If no Circuit
                                       Identifier has been assigned
                                       this object should have an octet
                                       string with zero length.

              ifConnectorPresent       Set to false(2).

2.3 Using ifStackTable

This section describes by example how to use ifStackTable to represent the relationship of ds0 and ds0Bundles with ds1 interfaces. Implementors of the stack table for ds0 and ds0Bundle interfaces should look at the appropriate RFC for the service being stacked on ds0s and ds0Bundles. Examples given below are for illustration purposes only.

Example: A Frame Relay Service is being carried on 4 ds0s of a ds1.

           +---------------------+
           | Frame Relay Service |
           +---------------------+
                      |
           +---------------------+
           | ds0Bundle           |
           +---------------------+
             |     |     |     |
           +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
           |ds0| |ds0| |ds0| |ds0|
           +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
             |     |     |     |
           +---------------------+
           | ds1                 |
           +---------------------+

The assignment of the index values could for example be:

ifIndex Description

           1        FrameRelayService (type 44)
           2        ds0Bundle         (type 82)
           3        ds0 #1            (type 81)


Page 5

           4        ds0 #2            (type 81)
           5        ds0 #3            (type 81)
           6        ds0 #4            (type 81)
           7        ds1               (type 18)

The ifStackTable is then used to show the relationships between the various interfaces.

ifStackTable Entries

           HigherLayer   LowerLayer
           0             1
           1             2
           2             3
           2             4
           2             5
           2             6
           3             7
           4             7
           5             7
           6             7
           7             0

In the case where the frameRelayService is using a single ds0, then the ds0Bundle is not required.

           +---------------------+
           | Frame Relay Service |
           +---------------------+
             |
           +---+
           |ds0|
           +---+
             |
           +---------------------+
           | ds1                 |
           +---------------------+

The assignment of the index values could for example be:

ifIndex Description

           1        FrameRelayService (type 44)
           2        ds0               (type 81)
           3        ds1               (type 18)

The ifStackTable is then used to show the relationships between the various interfaces.

2.3.1 Usage of Channelization for DS3, DS1, DS0

An example is given here to explain the channelization objects in the DS3, DS1, and DS0 MIBs to help the implementor use the objects correctly. Treatment of E3 and E1 would be similar, with the number of DS0s being different depending on the framing of the E1. Timeslot 16 is not created for framing types that do not pass data over it.

Assume that a DS3 (with ifIndex 1) is channelized into DS1s (without DS2s). The object dsx3Channelization is set to enabledDs1. There will be 28 DS1s in the ifTable. Assume the entries in the ifTable for the DS1s are created in channel order and the ifIndex values are 2 through 29. In the DS1 MIB, there will be an entry in the dsx1ChanMappingTable for each ds1. The entries will be as follows:

dsx1ChanMappingTable Entries

           ifIndex  dsx1Ds1ChannelNumber   dsx1ChanMappedIfIndex
           1        1                      2
           1        2                      3
           1        28                     29

In addition, the DS1s are channelized into DS0s. The object dsx1Channelization is set to enabledDs0 for each DS1. When this object is set to this value, 24 DS0s are created by the agent. There will be 24 DS0s in the ifTable for each DS1. If the
dsx1Channelization is set to disabled, the 24 DS0s are destroyed.

Assume the entries in the ifTable are created in channel order and the ifIndex values for the DS0s in the first DS1 are 30 through 53. In the DS0 MIB, there will be an entry in the dsx0ChanMappingTable for each DS0. The entries will be as follows:


Page 7

dsx0ChanMappingTable Entries

           ifIndex   dsx0Ds0ChannelNumber  dsx0ChanMappedIfIndex
           2         1                     30
           2         2                     31
           2         24                    53

2.3.2 Usage of ifIndex Mapping for DS0Bundle

An example is given here to explain the ifIndex mapping objects in the DS0Bundle MIB to help the implementor use the objects correctly.

Assume that a DS1 (with ifIndex 1) is channelized into DS0s. There will be 24 DS0s in the ifTable. Assume the entries in the ifTable for the DS0s are created in channel order and the ifIndex values are 2 through 25. Now, assume that there are two bundles on the DS1. The first one uses channels 1 and 2. The second uses channels 3 and 4. There will be two ifTable entries for these bundles, with values of 26 and 27 for ifIndex. There will be an entry in the
dsx0BundleTable for each bundle. The entries will be as follows:

dsx0BundleTable Entries

           dsx0BundleIndex    dsx0BundleIfIndex
           1                  26
           2                  27

There will be an entry in the dsx0ConfigTable for each DS0. The entries will be as follows:

dsx0ConfigTable Entries

           ifIndex  dsx0Ds0ChannelNumber   dsx0Ds0BundleMappedIfIndex
           2        1                      26
           3        2                      26
           4        3                      27
           5        4                      27
           6        5                      0
           7        6                      0
           25       24                     0

3 Overview of the MIB

This document contains 2 MIB modules, the DS0 MIB and the DS0Bundle MIB.


Page 8

3.1 DS0 MIB

The DS0 MIB is used to represent individual DS0s in a DS1 or E1. Variables in this MIB would be created for each DS0 in the ifTable. This MIB contains the following group:

The DS0 Config Group - This group contains configuration information about a particular DS0.

3.2 DS0Bundle MIB

The DS0Bundle MIB is used to represent collections of DS0s that are used together to carry data within a DS1/E1 at speeds greater than that of a single DS0. DS0Bundles are created on top of DS0s and are represented that way in the ifStackTable. This MIB contains the following groups:

The DS0 Bundle Group - This group contains objects used for creating new ds0Bundles. This group is mandatory.

The DS0 Bonding Group - This group contains information about bonding for a ds0Bundle, if bonding is enabled. This group is optional.

dsx0BundleNextIndex OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TestAndIncr
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object is used to assist the manager in selecting a value for dsx0BundleIndex. Because this object is of syntax TestAndIncr (see the SNMPv2-TC document, RFC 1903) it can also be used to avoid race conditions with multiple managers trying to create rows in the table.

If the result of the SET for dsx0BundleNextIndex is not success, this means the value has been changed from index (i.e. another manager used the value), so a new value is required.

The algorithm is:

               done = false
               while done == false
                   index = GET (dsx0BundleNextIndex.0)
                   SET (dsx0BundleNextIndex.0=index)
                   if (set failed)
                     done = false
                   else
                     SET(dsx0BundleRowStatus.index=createAndGo)
                     if (set failed)
                       done = false
                     else
                       done = true
                       other error handling"

DESCRIPTION
"This object indicates which BONDing mode is used, if any, for a ds0Bundle. Mode0 provides parameter and number exchange with no synchronization. Mode 1 provides parameter and number exchange. Mode 1 also provides synchronization during
initialization but does not include inband
monitoring. Mode 2 provides all of the above plus inband monitoring. Mode 2 also steals 1/64th of the bandwidth of each channel (thus not supporting n x 56/64 kbit/s data channels for most values of n). Mode 3 provides all of the above, but also provides n x 56/64 kbit/s data channels. Most common implementations of Mode 3 add an extra channel to support the inband monitoring overhead. ModeNone should be used when the interface is not performing bandwidth-on-demand."

9 Security Considerations

SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure environment. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET (read) the objects in this MIB.

It is recommended that the implementors consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC 2274 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model RFC 2275 [15] is recommended.


Page 24

It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly configured to give access to those objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to access them.

Setting the following objects to an inappropriate value can cause loss of traffic. In the case of dsx0RobbedBitSignalling, for example, the nature of the traffic flowing on the DS0 can be affected.
dsx0RobbedBitSignalling
dsx0IdleCode
dsx0SeizedCode
dsx0TransmitCodesEnable
dsx0BundleRowStatus
dsx0BondMode
dsx0BondRowStatus

Setting the following objects is mischievous, but not harmful to traffic.
dsx0CircuitIdentifier
dsx0BundleNextIndex
