1.  Abstract

  This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management
  Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
  TCP/IP-based internets.  In particular, this memo defines MIB objects
  for representing DS3 physical interfaces.  Implementors should
  consult in addition to this memo the companion document that



SNMP & Transmission MIB Working Groups                          [Page 1]

RFC 1233                 DS3 Interface Objects                  May 1991


  describes that DS1 managed objects.

2.  The Network Management Framework

  The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
  components.  They are:

     RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
     and naming objects for the purpose of management.  RFC 1212
     defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly
     consistent with the SMI.

     RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
     the Internet suite of protocols.  RFC 1213, defines MIB-II, an
     evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
     operational requirements.

     RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for network
     access to managed objects.

  The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
  experimentation and evaluation.

3.  Objects

  Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
  the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
  defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [7]
  defined in the SMI.  In particular, each object has a name, a syntax,
  and an encoding.  The name is an object identifier, an
  administratively assigned name, which specifies an object type.  The
  object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
  identify a specific instantiation of the object.  For human
  convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the OBJECT
  DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to the object type.

  The syntax of an object type defines the abstract data structure
  corresponding to that object type.  The ASN.1 language is used for
  this purpose.  However, the SMI [3] purposely restricts the ASN.1
  constructs which may be used.  These restrictions are explicitly made
  for simplicity.

  The encoding of an object type is simply how that object type is
  represented using the object type's syntax.  Implicitly tied to the
  notion of an object type's syntax and encoding is how the object type
  is represented when being transmitted on the network.  The SMI
  specifies the use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 [8], subject
  to the additional requirements imposed by the SNMP.

3.1.  Format of Definitions

  Section 5 contains contains the specification of all object types
  contained in this MIB module.  The object types are defined using the
  conventions defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions
  specified in [13].

4.  Overview

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

              ds3 (30)

  The definitions contained herein are based on the DS3 specifications
  in ANSI T1.102-1987, ANSI T1.107-1988, and ANSI T1.404-1989
  [9,10,11].

4.1.  Binding between Interfaces and CSUs

  Each agent which resides on a host which uses DS3 interfaces is
  required to assign a small, positive integer uniquely to each CSU.
  This is known as the "CSUIndex", and is used to distinguish between
  different CSUs attached to a node.  The CSUIndex is also used as the
  "key" when accessing tabular information about DS3 interfaces.

  The ds3Index column of the DS3 Configuration table relates each CSU
  to its corresponding interface in the Internet-standard MIB.

4.2.  Objectives of this MIB Module

  There are numerous things that could be included in a MIB for DS3
  signals: the management of multiplexors, CSUs, DSUs, and the like.
  The intent of this document is to facilitate the common management of
  CSUs, both in-chassis and external via proxy.  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 CSUs that are currently
  deployed.

4.3.  DS3 Terminology

  The terminology used in this document to describe error conditions on
  a DS3 circuit as monitored by a DS3 CSU are from the ANSI T1M1.3/90
  draft standard [12].

         Out of Frame (OOF) event
              An OOF event is detected when any three or more errors in



SNMP & Transmission MIB Working Groups                          [Page 3]

RFC 1233                 DS3 Interface Objects                  May 1991


              sixteen or fewer consecutive F-bits occur within a DS3
              M-frame.  An OOF event is cleared when reframe occurs.

         Loss of Signal (LOS)
              This state is declared upon observing 175 +/- 75
              contiguous pulse positions with no pulses of either
              positive or negative polarity.

         Coding Violation (CV)
              For all DS3 applications, a coding violation 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.  For C-Bit Parity applications, it is
              also the occurrence of a received CP-Bit parity
              violation.  For SYNTRAN applications, it is also the
              occurrence of a received CRC-9 code that is not identical
              to the corresponding locally calculated code.

         Bipolar Violation (BPV)
              A bipolar violation, for B3ZS-coded signals, is the
              occurrence of a received bipolar violation that is not
              part of a zero-substitution code.  For B3ZS-coded
              signals, a bipolar violation may also include other error
              patterns such as:  three or more consecutive zeros and
              incorrect parity.

         Errored Seconds (ES)
              An ES is a second with one or more Coding Violation OR
              one or more Out of Frame events OR an AIS.

         Severely Errored Seconds (SES)
              A SES is a second with 44 or more Coding Violations OR
              one or more Out of Frame events OR an AIS.

         Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS)
              A SEFS is a second with one or more Out of Frame events.

         Unavailable Seconds (UAS)
              UAS are calculated by counting the number of seconds that
              the CSU is in the Unavailable signal state (i.e.,
              declared a Red Alarm or a Yellow Alarm), including the
              initial 10 seconds to enter the state but not including
              the 10 seconds to exit the state.

              Note that any second that may be counted as an UAS may
              not be counted as an ES or a SES.  Since the 10 SESs that
              comprise the transition from the available to unavailable



SNMP & Transmission MIB Working Groups                          [Page 4]

RFC 1233                 DS3 Interface Objects                  May 1991


              signal state may also be counted as ESs and SESs previous
              to entering the state, these three counters are adjusted
              so that any second counted during this transition is then
              subtracted.  The 10 seconds in the transition from
              unavailable to available may be counted as ESs.

              A special case exists when the 10 or more second period
              crosses the 900 second statistics window boundary, as the
              foregoing description implies that the SES and UAS
              counters must be adjusted when the Unavailable Signal
              State is entered. Clearly, successive GETs of the
              affected ds3IntervalSES and ds3IntervalUAS objects will
              return differing values if the first GET occurs during
              the first few seconds of the window.  This is viewed as
              an unavoidable side-effect of selecting the presently
              defined managed objects as a basis for this memo.

         Yellow Alarm
              The Yellow Alarm is declared after detecting the Yellow
              Signal.  See ANSI T1.107-1989 [10].

         Red Alarm
              The Red Alarm is declared after detecting a Loss of
              Signal, a Loss of Frame (a persistent OOF event), or an
              Alarm Indication Signal, see [10] for at least 2-10
              seconds.  The Red Alarm is cleared at the onset of 10
              consecutive seconds with no SES.

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