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 DS3 and E3
  interfaces.  This document is a companion document with Definitions
  of Managed Objects for the DS0 (RFC 2494 [25]), DS1/E1/DS2/E2 (RFC
  2495 [17]), 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:

   o   An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [1].

   o   Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
       purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
       Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
       STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
       second version, called SMIv2, is described in RFC 1902 [5], RFC
       1903 [6] and RFC 1904 [7].

   o   Message protocols for transferring management information. The
       first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
       described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
       message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
       protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and
       RFC 1906 [10].  The third version of the message protocol is
       called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2272 [11] and
       RFC 2274 [12].




Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


   o   Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
       first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
       described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
       operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
       [13].

   o   A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273 [14] and
       the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2275
       [15].  Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information
       store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects
       in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
       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.

1.1.  Changes from RFC1407

  This MIB obsoletes RFC1407.  The changes from RFC1407 are the
  following:

       (1)  The Fractional Table has been deprecated

       (2)  This document uses SMIv2

       (3)  Values are given for ifTable and ifXTable

       (4)  Example usage of ifStackTable is included

       (5)  dsx3IfIndex has been deprecated

       (6)  The definition of valid intervals has been clarified
            for the case where the agent proxied for other devices.  In
            particular, the treatment of missing intervals has been
            clarified.

       (7)  An inward loopback has been added.

       (8)  Additional lineStatus bits have been added for Near End
            in Unavailable Signal State, Carrier Equipment Out of
            Service, DS@ Payload AIS, and DS@ Performance Threshold




Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


       (9)  A read-write line Length object has been added.

       (10) Added a lineStatus last change, trap and enabler.

       (11) Textual Conventions for statistics objects have
            been used.

       (12) A new object, dsx3LoopbackStatus, has been introduced to
            reflect the loopbacks established on a DS3/E3 interface and
            the source to the requests.  dsx3LoopbackConfig continues
            to be the desired loopback state while dsx3LoopbackStatus
            reflects the actual state.

       (13) A dual loopback has been added to allow the setting of an
            inward loopback and a line loopback at the same time.

       (14) An object has been added to indicated whether or not this
            is a channelized DS3/E3.

       (15) A new object has been added to indicate which DS1 is to set
            for remote loopback.

2.  Overview

  These objects are used when the particular media being used to
  realize an interface is a DS3/E3 interface.  At present, this applies
  to these values of the ifType variable in the Internet-standard MIB:

       ds3 (30)

  The DS3 definitions contained herein are based on the DS3
  specifications in ANSI T1.102-1987, ANSI T1.107-1988, ANSI T1.107a-
  1990, and ANSI T1.404-1989 [8,9,9a,10].  The E3 definitions contained
  herein are based on the E3 specifications in CCITT G.751 [12].

2.1.  Use of ifTable for DS3 Layer

  Only the ifGeneralGroup needs to be supported.

          ifTable Object    Use for DS3 Layer
======================================================================
          ifIndex           Interface index.

          ifDescr           See interfaces MIB [5]

          ifType            ds3(30)

          ifSpeed           Speed of line rate
                            DS3 - 44736000
                            E3  - 34368000

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

          ifAdminStatus     See interfaces MIB [5]

          ifOperStatus      See interfaces MIB [5]

          ifLastChange      See interfaces MIB [5]

          ifHighSpeed       Speed of line in Mega-bits per second
                            (either 45 or 34)

          ifConnectorPresent Set to true(1) normally, except for
                             cases such as DS3/E3 over AAL1/ATM where
                             false(2) is appropriate

2.2.  Usage Guidelines

2.2.1.  Usage of ifStackTable

  The assignment of the index values could for example be:

          ifIndex  Description
          1        Ethernet
          2        Line#A Router
          3        Line#B Router



Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


          4        Line#C Router
          5        Line#D Router
          6        Line#A CSU Router
          7        Line#B CSU Router
          8        Line#C CSU Router
          9        Line#D CSU Router
          10       Line#A CSU Network
          11       Line#B CSU Network
          12       Line#C CSU Network
          13       Line#D CSU Network

  The ifStackTable is then used to show the relationships between the
  various DS3 interfaces.

          ifStackTable Entries

          HigherLayer   LowerLayer
          2             6
          3             7
          4             8
          5             9
          6             10
          7             11
          8             12
          9             13

  If the CSU shelf is managed by itself by a local SNMP Agent, the
  situation would be identical, except the Ethernet and the 4 router
  interfaces are deleted.  Interfaces would also be numbered from 1 to
  8.

          ifIndex  Description
          1        Line#A CSU Router
          2        Line#B CSU Router
          3        Line#C CSU Router
          4        Line#D CSU Router
          5        Line#A CSU Network
          6        Line#B CSU Network
          7        Line#C CSU Network
          8        Line#D CSU Network

          ifStackTable Entries

          HigherLayer   LowerLayer
          1             5
          2             6
          3             7
          4             8



Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


2.2.2.  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.

  Assume that a DS3 (with ifIndex 1) is Channelized into DS1s (without
  DS2s).  The object dsx3Channelization is set to enabledDs1.  When
  this object is set to enabledDS1, 28 ifEntries of type DS1 will be
  created by the agent. If dsx3Channelization is set to disabled, then
  the DS1s are destroyed.

  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.  There will be
  24 DS0s in the ifTable for each DS1.  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:

       dsx0ChanMappingTable Entries

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

2.2.3.  Usage of Channelization for DS3, DS2, DS1

  An example is given here to explain the channelization objects in the
  DS3 and DS1 MIBs to help the implementor use the objects correctly.




Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


  Assume that a DS3 (with ifIndex 1) is Channelized into DS2s.  The
  object dsx3Channelization is set to enabledDs2.  There will be 7 DS2s
  (ifType of DS1) in the ifTable.  Assume the entries in the ifTable
  for the DS2s are created in channel order and the ifIndex values are
  2 through 8. In the DS1 MIB, there will be an entry in the
  dsx1ChanMappingTable for each DS2.  The entries will be as follows:

       dsx1ChanMappingTable Entries

       ifIndex  dsx1Ds1ChannelNumber   dsx1ChanMappedIfIndex
       1        1                      2
       1        2                      3
       ......
       1        7                      8

  In addition, the DS2s are channelized into DS1s.  The object
  dsx1Channelization is set to enabledDS1 for each DS2.  There will be
  4 DS1s in the ifTable for each DS2.  Assume the entries in the
  ifTable are created in channel order and the ifIndex values for the
  DS1s in the first DS2 are 9 through 12, then 13 through 16 for the
  second DS2, and so on.  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
       2         1                     9
       2         2                     10
       2         3                     11
       2         4                     12
       3         1                     13
       3         2                     14
       ...
       8         4                     36

2.2.4.  Usage of Loopbacks

  This section discusses the behaviour of objects related to loopbacks.

  The object dsx3LoopbackConfig represents the desired state of
  loopbacks on this interface.  Using this object a Manager can
  request:
      LineLoopback
      PayloadLoopback (if ESF framing)
      InwardLoopback
      DualLoopback (Line + Inward)
      NoLoopback




Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


  The remote end can also request lookbacks either through the FDL
  channel if ESF or inband if D4.  The loopbacks that can be request
  this way are:
  LineLoopback
  PayloadLoopback (if ESF framing)
  NoLoopback

  To model the current state of loopbacks on a DS3 interface, the
  object dsx3LoopbackStatus defines which loopback is currently applies
  to an interface.  This objects, which is a bitmap, will have bits
  turned on which reflect the currently active loopbacks on the
  interface as well as the source of those loopbacks.

  The following restrictions/rules apply to loopbacks:

  The far end cannot undo loopbacks set by a manager.

  A manager can undo loopbacks set by the far end.

  Both a line loopback and an inward loopback can be set at the same
  time.  Only these two loopbacks can co-exist and either one may be
  set by the manager or the far end.  A LineLoopback request from the
  far end is incremental to an existing Inward loopback established by
  a manager.  When a NoLoopback is received from the far end in this
  case, the InwardLoopback remains in place.

2.3.  Objectives of this MIB Module

  There are numerous things that could be included in a MIB for DS3/E3
  signals:  the management of multiplexors, CSUs, DSUs, and the like.
  The intent of this document is to facilitate the common management of
  all devices with DS3/E3 interfaces.  As such, a design decision was
  made up front to very closely align the MIB with the set of objects
  that can generally be read from DS3/E3 devices that are currently
  deployed.

2.4.  DS3/E3 Terminology

  The terminology used in this document to describe error conditions on
  a DS3 interface as monitored by a DS3 device are based on the late
  but not final draft of what became the ANSI T1.231 standard [11].  If
  the definition in this document does not match the definition in the
  ANSI T1.231 document, the implementer should follow the definition
  described in this document.







Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                     [Page 9]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


2.4.1.  Error Events

    Bipolar Violation (BPV) Error Event
         A bipolar violation error event, for B3ZS(HDB3)-coded signals,
         is the occurrence of a pulse of the same polarity as the
         previous pulse without being part of the zero substitution
         code, B3ZS(HDB3).  For B3ZS(HDB3)-coded signals, a bipolar
         violation error event may also include other error patterns
         such as:  three(four) or more consecutive zeros and incorrect
         polarity. (See T1.231 section 7.1.1.1.1)

    Excessive Zeros (EXZ) Error Event
         An EXZ is the occurrence of any zero string length equal to or
         greater than 3 for B3ZS, or greater than 4 for HDB3.  (See
         T1.231 section 7.1.1.1.2)

    Line Coding Violation (LCV) Error Event
         This parameter is a count of both BPVs and EXZs occurring over
         the accumulation period.  An EXZ increments the LCV by one
         regardless of the length of the zero string. (Also known as
         CV-L.  See T1.231 section 7.4.1.1)

    P-bit Coding Violation (PCV) Error Event
         For all DS3 applications, a coding violation error event is a
         P-bit Parity Error event.  A P-bit Parity Error event is the
         occurrence of a received P-bit code on the DS3 M-frame that is
         not identical to the corresponding locally- calculated code.
         (See T1.231 section 7.1.1.2.1)

    C-bit Coding Violation (CCV) Error Event
         For C-bit Parity and SYNTRAN DS3 applications, this is the
         count of coding violations reported via the C-bits.  For C-bit
         Parity, it is a count of CP-bit parity errors occurring in the
         accumulation interval.  For SYNTRAN, it is a count of CRC-9
         errors occurring in the accumulation interval. (See T1.231
         section 7.1.1.2.2)

2.4.2.  Performance Parameters

  All performance parameters are accumulated in fifteen minute
  intervals and up to 96 intervals (24 hours worth) are kept by an
  agent.  Fewer than 96 intervals of data will be available if the
  agent has been restarted within the last 24 hours.  In addition,
  there is a rolling 24-hour total of each performance parameter.







Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                    [Page 10]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


  There is no requirement for an agent to ensure fixed relationship
  between the start of a fifteen minute interval and any wall clock;
  however some agents may align the fifteen minute intervals with
  quarter hours.

  Performance parameters are of types PerfCurrentCount,
  PerfIntervalCount and PerfTotalCount.  These textual conventions are
  all Gauge32, and they are used because it is possible for these
  objects to decrease.  Objects may decrease when Unavailable Seconds
  occurs across a fifteen minutes interval boundary. See Unavailable
  Seconds discussion later in this section.

    Line Errored Seconds (LES)
         A Line Errored Second is a second in which one or more CV
         occurred OR one or more LOS defects.  (Also known as ES-L. See
         T1.231 section 7.4.1.2)

    P-bit Errored Seconds (PES)
         An PES is a second with one or more PCVs OR one or more Out of
         Frame defects OR a detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not
         incremented when UASs are counted.  (Also known as ESP-P. See
         T1.231 section 7.4.2.2)

    P-bit Severely Errored Seconds (PSES)
         A PSES is a second with 44 or more PCVs OR one or more Out of
         Frame defects OR a detected incoming AIS. This gauge is not
         incremented when UASs are counted.  (Also known as SESP-P. See
         T1.231 section 7.4.2.5)

    C-bit Errored Seconds (CES)
         An CES is a second with one or more CCVs OR one or more Out of
         Frame defects OR a detected incoming AIS.  This count is only
         for the SYNTRAN and C-bit Parity DS3 applications. This gauge
         is not incremented when UASs are counted. (Also known as
         ESCP-P. See T1.231 section 7.4.2.2)

    C-bit Severely Errored Seconds (CSES)
         A CSES is a second with 44 or more CCVs OR one or more Out of
         Frame defects OR a detected incoming AIS.  This count is only
         for the SYNTRAN and C-bit Parity DS3 applications.  This gauge
         is not incremented when UASs are counted. (Also known as
         SESCP-P. See T1.231 section 7.4.2.5)

    Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS)
         A SEFS is a second with one or more Out of Frame defects OR a
         detected incoming AIS. This item is not incremented during
         unavailable seconds.  (Also known as SAS-P. See T1.231 section

    Unavailable Seconds (UAS)
         UAS are calculated by counting the number of seconds that the
         interface is unavailable.  The DS3 interface is said to be
         unavailable from the onset of 10 contiguous PSESs, or the
         onset of the condition leading to a failure (see Failure
         States).  If the condition leading to the failure was
         immediately preceded by one or more contiguous PSESs, then the
         DS3 interface unavailability starts from the onset of these
         PSESs.  Once unavailable, and if no failure is present, the
         DS3 interface becomes available at the onset of 10 contiguous
         seconds with no PSESs.  Once unavailable, and if a failure is
         present, the DS3 interface becomes available at the onset of
         10 contiguous seconds with no PSESs, if the failure clearing
         time is less than or equal to 10 seconds.  If the failure
         clearing time is more than 10 seconds, the DS3 interface
         becomes available at the onset of 10 contiguous seconds with
         no PSESs, or the onset period leading to the successful
         clearing condition, whichever occurs later. With respect to
         the DS3 error counts, all counters are incremented while the
         DS3 interface is deemed available.  While the interface is
         deemed unavailable, the only count that is incremented is
         UASs.

         Note that this definition implies that the agent cannot
         determine until after a ten second interval has passed whether
         a given one-second interval belongs to available or
         unavailable time.  If the agent chooses to update the various
         performance statistics in real time then it must be prepared
         to retroactively reduce the PES, PSES, CES, and CSES counts by
         10 and increase the UAS count by 10 when it determines that
         available time has been entered.  It must also be prepared to
         adjust the PCV, CCV, and SEFS count as necessary since these
         parameters are not accumulated during unavailable time.  It
         must be similarly prepared to retroactively decrease the UAS
         count by 10 and increase the PES, CES, PCV, and CCV counts as
         necessary upon entering available time.  A special case exists
         when the 10 second period leading to available or unavailable
         time crosses a 900 second statistics window boundary, as the
         foregoing description implies that the PCV, CCV, PES, CES,
         PSES, CSEC, SEFS, and UAS counts for the PREVIOUS interval
         must be adjusted.  In this case successive GETs of the
         affected dsx3IntervalPSESs and dsx3IntervalUASs objects will
         return differing values if the first GET occurs during the
         first few seconds of the window.







Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                    [Page 12]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


         The agent may instead choose to delay updates to the various
         statistics by 10 seconds in order to avoid retroactive
         adjustments to the counters.  A way to do this is sketched in
         Appendix B.

         In any case, a linkDown trap shall be sent only after the
         agent has determined for certain that the unavailable state
         has been entered, but the time on the trap will be that of the
         first UAS (i.e., 10 seconds earlier).  A linkUp trap shall be
         handled similarly.

         According to ANSI T1.231 unavailable time begins at the
         _onset_ of 10 contiguous severely errored seconds -- that is,
         unavailable time starts with the _first_ of the 10 contiguous
         SESs.  Also, while an interface is deemed unavailable all
         counters for that interface are frozen except for the UAS
         count.  It follows that an implementation which strictly
         complies with this standard must _not_ increment any counters
         other than the UAS count -- even temporarily -- as a result of
         anything that happens during those 10 seconds.  Since changes
         in the signal state lag the data to which they apply by 10
         seconds, an ANSI-compliant implementation must pass the the
         one-second statistics through a 10-second delay line prior to
         updating any counters.  That can be done by performing the
         following steps at the end of each one second interval.

  i)   Read near/far end CV counter and alarm status flags from the
       hardware.

  ii)  Accumulate the CV counts for the preceding second and compare
       them to the ES and SES threshold for the layer in question.
       Update the signal state and shift the one-second CV counts and
       ES/SES flags into the 10-element delay line.  Note that far-end
       one-second statistics are to be flagged as "absent" during any
       second in which there is an incoming defect at the layer in
       question or at any lower layer.

  iii) Update the current interval statistics using the signal state
       from the _previous_ update cycle and the one-second CV counts
       and ES/SES flags shifted out of the 10-element delay line.

  This approach is further described in Appendix B.

2.4.3.  Performance Defects

    Failure States:
         The Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) failure, in SYNTRAN
         applications, is declared after detecting the Yellow Alarm



Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                    [Page 13]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


         Signal on the alarm channel.  See ANSI T1.107a-1990 [9a]. The
         Remote Alarm Indication failure, in C-bit Parity DS3
         applications, is declared as soon as the presence of either
         one or two alarm signals are detected on the Far End Alarm
         Channel.  See [9].  The Remote Alarm Indication failure may
         also be declared after detecting the far-end SEF/AIS defect
         (aka yellow).  The Remote Alarm Indication failure is cleared
         as soon as the presence of the any of the above alarms are
         removed.

         Also, the incoming failure state is declared when a defect
         persists for at least 2-10 seconds.  The defects are the
         following:  Loss of Signal (LOS), an Out of Frame (OOF) or an
         incoming Alarm Indication Signal (AIS).  The Failure State is
         cleared when the defect is absent for less than or equal to 20
         seconds.

    Far End SEF/AIS defect (aka yellow)
         A Far End SEF/AIS defect is the occurrence of the two X-bits
         in a M-frame set to zero.  The Far End SEF/AIS defect is
         terminated when the two X-bits in a M-frame are set to one.
         (Also known as SASCP-PFE. See T1.231 section 7.4.4.2.6)

    Out of Frame (OOF) defect
         A DS3 OOF defect is detected when any three or more errors in
         sixteen or fewer consecutive F-bits occur within a DS3 M-
         frame.  An OOF defect may also be called a Severely Errored
         Frame (SEF) defect.  An OOF defect is cleared when reframe
         occurs.  A DS3 Loss of Frame (LOF) failure is declared when
         the DS3 OOF defect is consistent for 2 to 10 seconds.  The DS3
         OOF defect ends when reframe occurs.  The DS3 LOF failure is
         cleared when the DS3 OOF defect is absent for 10 to 20
         seconds. (See T1.231 section 7.1.2.2.1)

         An E3 OOF defect is detected when four consecutive frame
         alignment signals have been incorrectly received in there
         predicted positions in an E3 signal. E3 frame alignment occurs
         when the presence of three consecutive frame alignment signals
         have been detected.

    Loss of Signal (LOS) defect
         The DS3 LOS defect is declared upon observing 175 +/- 75
         contiguous pulse positions with no pulses of either positive
         or negative polarity.  The DS3 LOS defect is terminated upon
         observing an average pulse density of at least 33% over a
         period of 175 +/- 75 contiguous pulse positions starting with
         the receipt of a pulse. (See T1.231 section 7.1.2.1.1)




Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                    [Page 14]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


    Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) defect
         The DS3 AIS is framed with "stuck stuffing."  This implies
         that it has a valid M-subframe alignments bits, M-frame
         alignment bits, and P bits.  The information bits are set to a
         1010... sequence, starting with a one (1) after each M-
         subframe alignment bit, M-frame alignment bit, X bit, P bit,
         and C bit.  The C bits are all set to zero giving what is
         called "stuck stuffing."  The X bits are set to one. The DS3
         AIS defect is declared after DS3 AIS is present in contiguous
         M-frames for a time equal to or greater than T, where 0.2 ms
         <= T <= 100 ms.  The DS3 AIS defect is terminated after AIS is
         absent in contiguous M-frames for a time equal to or greater
         than T.  (See T1.231 section 7.1.2.2.3)

         The E3 binary content of the AIS is nominally a continuous
         stream of ones.  AIS detection and the application of
         consequent actions, should be completed within a time limit of
         1 ms.

2.4.4.  Other Terms

    Circuit Identifier
         This is a character string specified by the circuit vendor,
         and is useful when communicating with the vendor during the
         troubleshooting process.

    Proxy
         In this document, the word proxy is meant to indicate an
         application which receives SNMP messages and replies to them
         on behalf of the devices which implement the actual DS3/E3
         interfaces.  The proxy may have already collected the
         information about the DS3/E3 interfaces into its local
         database and may not necessarily forward the requests to the
         actual DS3/E3 interface.  It is expected in such an
         application that there are periods of time where the proxy is
         not communicating with the DS3/E3 interfaces.  In these
         instances the proxy will not necessarily have up-to-date
         configuration information and will most likely have missed the
         collection of some statistics data.  Missed statistics data
         collection will result in invalid data in the interval table.

                ifStackTable.

                Implementation of this table was optional.  It was
                designed for those systems dividing a DS3/E3 into
                channels containing different data streams that
                are of local interest.

                The DS3/E3 fractional table identifies which
                DS3/E3 channels associated with a CSU are being
                used to support a logical interface, i.e., an
                entry in the interfaces table from the Internet-
                standard MIB.

                For example, consider a DS3 device with 4 high
                speed links carrying router traffic, a feed for
                voice, a feed for video, and a synchronous channel
                for a non-routed protocol.  We might describe the
                allocation of channels, in the dsx3FracTable, as
                follows:
                dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 1 = 3  dsx3FracIfIndex.2.15 = 4
                dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 2 = 3  dsx3FracIfIndex.2.16 = 6
                dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 3 = 3  dsx3FracIfIndex.2.17 = 6
                dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 4 = 3  dsx3FracIfIndex.2.18 = 6
                dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 5 = 3  dsx3FracIfIndex.2.19 = 6

                For dsx3M23, dsx3 SYNTRAN, dsx3CbitParity, and

4.  Appendix A - Use of dsx3IfIndex and dsx3LineIndex

  This Appendix exists to document the previous use if dsx3IfIndex and
  dsx3LineIndex and to clarify the relationship of dsx3LineIndex as
  defined in rfc1407 with the dsx3LineIndex as defined in this
  document.

  The following shows the old and new definitions and the relationship:

  [New Definition]: "This object should be made equal to ifIndex.  The
  next paragraph describes its previous usage.  Making the object equal
  to ifIndex allows proper use of ifStackTable.

  [Old Definition]: "this object is the identifier of a DS3/E3
  Interface on a managed device.  If there is an ifEntry that is
  directly associated with this and only this DS3/E3 interface, it
  should have the same value as ifIndex.  Otherwise, number the
  dsx3LineIndices with an unique identifier following the rules of
  choosing a number that is greater than ifNumber and numbering the
  inside interfaces (e.g., equipment side) with even numbers and
  outside interfaces (e.g, network side) with odd numbers."

  When the "Old Definition" was created, my understanding was that it
  was described this way to allow a manager to treat the value _as if_
  it were and ifIndex, i.e. the value would either be:  1) an ifIndex
  value or 2) a value that was guaranteed to be different from all
  valid ifIndex values.

  The new definition is a subset of that definition, i.e. the value is
  always an ifIndex value.

  The following is Section 3.1 from rfc1407:

  Different physical configurations for the support of SNMP with DS3/E3
  equipment exist. To accommodate these scenarios, two different
  indices for DS3/E3 interfaces are introduced in this MIB.  These
  indices are dsx3IfIndex and dsx3LineIndex.

  External interface scenario: the SNMP Agent represents all managed
  DS3/E3 lines as external interfaces (for example, an Agent residing
  on the device supporting DS3/E3 interfaces directly):

  For this scenario, all interfaces are assigned an integer value equal
  to ifIndex, and the following applies:

     ifIndex=dsx3IfIndex=dsx3LineIndex for all interfaces.





Fowler, Ed.                 Standards Track                    [Page 51]

RFC 2496                      DS3/E3 MIB                    January 1999


  The dsx3IfIndex column of the DS3/E3 Configuration table relates each
  DS3/E3 interface to its corresponding interface (ifIndex) in the
  Internet-standard MIB (MIB-II STD 17, RFC1213).

  External&Internal interface scenario: the SNMP Agents resides on an
  host external from the device supporting DS3/E3 interfaces (e.g., a
  router). The Agent represents both the host and the DS3/E3 device.
  The index dsx3LineIndex is used to not only represent the DS3/E3
  interfaces external from the host/DS3/E3-device combination, but also
  the DS3/E3 interfaces connecting the host and the DS3/E3 device.  The
  index dsx3IfIndex is always equal to ifIndex.

  Example:

  A shelf full of CSUs connected to a Router. An SNMP Agent residing on
  the router proxies for itself and the CSU. The router has also an
  Ethernet interface:

  The assignment of the index values could for example be:

          ifIndex (= dsx3IfIndex)                     dsx3LineIndex

                  1                   NA                  NA (Ethernet)
                  2      Line#A   Router Side             6
                  2      Line#A   Network Side            7
                  3      Line#B   Router Side             8
                  3      Line#B   Network Side            9

                  5      Line#D   Router Side            12
                  5      Line#D   Network Side           13

  For this example, ifNumber is equal to 5.  Note the following
  description of dsx3LineIndex:  the dsx3LineIndex identifies a DS3/E3
  Interface on a managed device.  If there is an ifEntry that is
  directly associated with this and only this DS3/E3 interface, it
  should have the same value as ifIndex.  Otherwise, number the
  dsx3LineIndices with an unique identifier following the rules of
  choosing a number greater than ifNumber and numbering inside
  interfaces (e.g., equipment side) with even numbers and outside
  interfaces (e.g, network side) with odd numbers.

  If the CSU shelf is managed by itself by a local SNMP Agent, the
  situation would be:

          ifIndex (= dsx3IfIndex)                      dsx3LineIndex

                  1      Line#A     Network Side            1

5.  Appendix B - The delay approach to Unavialable Seconds.

  This procedure is illustrated below for a DS3 C-Bit parity
  application.  Similar rules would apply for other interfaces covered
  by this MIB.  The procedure guarantees that the statistical counters
  are correctly updated at all times, although they lag real time by 10
  seconds.  At the end of each 15 minutes interval the current interval
  counts are transferred to the  most recent interval entry and each
  interval is shifted up by one position, with the oldest being
  discarded if necessary in order to make room.  The current interval
  counts then start over from zero.  Note, however, that the signal
  state calculation does not start afresh at each interval boundary;
  rather, signal state information is retained across interval
  boundaries.

  Note that if such a procedure is adopted there is no current interval
  data for the first ten seconds after a system comes up.
  noSuchInstance must be returned if a management station attempts to
  access the current interval counters during this time.

  It is an implementation-specific matter whether an agent assumes that
  the initial state of the interface is available or unavailable.

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.

  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 any of the following objects to an inappropriate value can
  cause loss of traffic.  The definition of inappropriate varies for
  each object.  In the case of dsx3LineType, for example, both ends of
  a ds3/e3 must have the same value in order for traffic to flow.  In
  the case of dsx3SendCode and dsx3LoopbackConfig, for another example,
  traffic may stop transmitting when particular loopbacks are applied.

  Setting the following object is mischevious, but not harmful to
  traffic
     dsx3CircuitIdentifier

  Setting the following object can cause an increase in the number of
  traps received by the network management station.
