                   SNMP MIB Extension for X.25 LAPB

Status of this Memo

  This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
  community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
  Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
  Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

  This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
  for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
  In particular, it defines objects for managing the Link Layer of
  X.25, LAPB.  The objects defined here, along with the objects in the
  "SNMP MIB Extension for the Packet Layer of X.25" [9] and the
  "Definitions of Managed Objects for RS-232-like Hardware Devices"
  [8], combine to allow management of an X.25 protocol stack.

1.  The Network Management Framework

  The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
  components.  These components give the rules for defining objects,
  the definitions of objects, and the protocol for manipulating
  objects.

  The network management framework structures objects in an abstract
  information tree. The branches of the tree name objects and the
  leaves of the tree contain the values manipulated to effect
  management. This tree is called the Management Information Base or
  MIB. The concepts of this tree are given in STD 16/RFC 1155 "The
  Structure of Management Information" or SMI [1]. The SMI defines the
  trunk of the tree and the types of objects used when defining the
  leaves. STD 16/RFC 1212, "Towards Concise MIB Definitions" [4],
  defines a more concise description mechanism that preserves all the
  principals of the SMI.

  The core MIB definitions for the Internet suite of protocols can be
  found in RFC 1156 [2] "Management Information Base for Network
  Management of TCP/IP-based internets". STD 17/RFC 1213 [5] defines
  MIB-II, an evolution of MIB-I with changes to incorporate
  implementation experience and new operational requirements.

  STD 15/RFC 1157 [3] defines the SNMP protocol itself. The protocol
  defines how to manipulate the objects in a remote MIB.

  The tree structure of the MIB allows new objects to be defined for
  the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.

2.  Objects

  The definition of an object in the MIB requires an object name and
  type.  Object names and types are defined using the subset of the
  Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [6] defined in the SMI [1].
  Objects are named using ASN.1 object identifiers, administratively
  assigned names, to specify object types. The object name, together
  with an optional object instance, uniquely identifies a specific
  instance of an object. For human convenience, we often use a textual
  string, termed the OBJECT DESCRIPTOR, to also refer to objects.

  Objects also have a syntax that defines the abstract data structure
  corresponding to that object type.  The ASN.1 language [6] provides



Throop & Baker                                                  [Page 2]

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


  the primitives used for this purpose.  The SMI [1] purposely
  restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used for simplicity and
  ease of implementation.  The encoding of an object type simply
  describes how to represent an object using ASN.1 encoding rules [7],
  for purposes of dealing with the SNMP protocol.

2.1.  Format of Definitions

  Section 4 contains the specification of all object types defined in
  this MIB module. The object definitions use the conventions given in
  the SMI [1] as amended by the concise MIB definitions [4].

3.  Overview

3.1.  Informal overview

  This section describes how the objects defined below relate with
  other MIBs.  This section is only informational to help understand
  how the pieces fit together.

  The objects defined below are to be used in conjunction with MIB-II
  and other MIBs such as the X.25 packet level MIB [9].  A system with
  a complete X.25 stack running over a synchronous line will have at
  least two interfaces in the ifTable defined in MIB-II.  There will be
  an interface for LAPB and another interface for the packet layer of
  X.25. There will also be objects defined in the RS-232-like MIB for
  the physical sync line.

  Each software interface identifies the layer below it used to send
  and receive packets. The X.25 MIB object, x25InfoDataLinkId,
  specifies an instance of lapbAdmnIndex for the LAPB interface under
  that X.25. The LAPB object, lapbOperPortId, defined below, identifies
  an instance of the rs232PortIndex for the the Sync line used by LAPB.

  For X.25 running over LAPB over Ethernet, the lapbAdmnPortId would
  identify the instance of ifIndex for the Ethernet interface.

  Each X.25 subnetwork will have separate entries in the ifTable.  Thus
  a system with two X.25 lines would have two ifTable entries for the
  two X.25 packet layers and two other entries for the two LAPB
  interfaces. Each X.25 Packet Layer MIB would identify the instance of
  the LAPB MIB below it. Each LAPB MIB would identify the Sync line
  below it. The system would also have two entries for rs232PortTable
  and rs232SyncPortTable for the two physical lines.

  Since the ifTable as defined in MIB-II is device independent, it
  doesn't have anything specific for any type of interface.  The
  objects below define the LAPB specific information for an interface



Throop & Baker                                                  [Page 3]

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


  of type LAPB. Different LAPB interfaces can also be differentiated by
  matching the values of ifIndex with lapbAdmnIndex.

3.2.  Textual Conventions

  Two new data types are introduced as a textual conventions in this
  MIB document.  These textual conventions enhance the readability of
  the specification and can ease comparison with other specifications
  if appropriate.  It should be noted that the introduction of these
  textual conventions has no effect on either the syntax nor the
  semantics of any managed objects.  The use of these is merely an
  artifact of the explanatory method used.  Objects defined in terms of
  one of these methods are always encoded by means of the rules that
  define the primitive type.  Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP
  are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions which are
  adopted merely for the convenience of readers and writers in pursuit
  of the elusive goal of clear, concise, and unambiguous MIB documents.

  This MIB introduces the data types of:

                   PositiveInteger
                   ifIndexType

3.3.  Formal overview

  Instances of the objects defined below represent attributes of a LAPB
  interface.  LAPB interfaces are identified by an ifType object in the
  Internet-standard MIB [5] of

               lapb(16).

  For these interfaces, the value of the ifSpecific variable in the
  MIB-II [5] has the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value:

               lapb    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission 16 }

  The relationship between a LAPB interface and an interface in the
  context of the Internet-standard MIB [5] is one-to-one.  As such, the
  value of an ifIndex object instance can be directly used to identify
  corresponding instances of the objects defined below.

  The objects defined below are defined in the context of ISO 7776 [10]
  and ISO 8885 [11]. Access to those documents maybe useful (but isn't
  essential) to understand the names and semantics of some objects.
  Where possible the object descriptions use the terminology of ISO
  7776; for example, one commonly used term refers to the peer LAPB as
  the DCE/remote DTE.  This terminology does not restrict the
  instrumented LAPB to function only as a DTE.  This MIB maybe applied



Throop & Baker                                                  [Page 4]

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


  to a LAPB configured as either a DCE or a DTE.

  To the extent that some attributes defined in the Internet standard
  MIB [5] are applicable to LAPB, those objects have not been
  duplicated here.  In some instances some clarification of how to
  apply those objects to LAPB has been given.

  Some objects defined below include a DEFVAL clause. This clause
  provides reasonable (but not mandatory) default values to use when
  creating these objects.  This does not imply this MIB defines any
  mechanism for creating or deleting LAPB interfaces.  The creation and
  deletion of the objects of this MIB depend on the implementation
  method for creating and deleting LAPB interfaces.  The DEFVAL clause
  provides reasonable defaults to allow further extension of the MIB to
  define methods for creating and deleting LAPB interfaces without
  having to deprecate these objects for the lack of a DEFVAL clause.

3.4.  Tables

  This extension adds four tables to the MIB.  These tables are:

                      lapbAdmnTable,
                      lapbOperTable,
                      lapbFlowTable, and
                      lapbXidTable.

  The lapbAdmnTable provides objects for common parameters used by LAPB
  such as the T1 retransmission timer or the N2 retransmission counter.
  Changes to objects in this table need not affect a running interface
  but provides access to the values used to initialize an interface.
  These values are read-write.

  The lapbOperTable provides objects to determine the parameters
  actually in use by an interface.  These objects are read only.  The
  values currently in use maybe different from the lapbAdmnTable values
  if the lapbAdmnTable was changed after interface initialization or if
  XID negotiation selected different values.

  The lapbFlowTable provides objects that report how the LAPB interface
  performs.  These are read-only objects used to monitor operation.

  The lapbXidTable is not required for systems that do not transmit XID
  frames. For systems that do transmit XID frames, this table provides
  the values for the fields of the XID frame that are not already
  present in the lapbAdmnTable.  The objects in this table are read-
  write.

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


3.5.  Traps

  Since all LAPB interfaces have entries in the ifTable, significant
  changes in the state of the interface should send a linkUp or
  linkDown trap. Thus an interface that receives or sends a Frame
  Reject frame should send a linkDown trap.  If the interface later
  comes back up, it should then send a linkUP trap.

5.  Appendix: Revision History

July 30, 1992

The July revision of this document (Editor's Internal Reference 2.10)
incorporated the comments of the SNMP directorate.

     The ifIndexType textual convention was added and used as the type
     for all index objects.

     The enumeration xidDetection of the lapbAdmnStationType was
     changed to dxe to be consistent with other similar enumerations.

     Conformance statements were added at before every table as ASN.1
     comments.

June 12, 1992

  The June 12, 1992 revision of this document (Editor's Internal
  Reference 2.9) incorporated some clarifications and updated the
  status.

     The range on PositiveInteger was changed to start at 0 rather than
     1.

     The syntax of lapbXidIndex was changed to PositiveInteger.

     A value of dxe was added to lapbOperStationType.

     The range of lapbAdmnN2RxmitCount was change to (0..65535).

     The definition of ifInOctets, ifInUcastPkts, ifInErrors,
     ifInUnknownProtos, ifOutOctets, and ifoutUcastPkts was clarified.

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


May 18, 1992

  The May 18, 1992 revision of this document (Editor's Internal
  Reference  2.8) incorporated the following changes:

     The states of lapbFlowCurrentMode were redefined.

     The default value for lapbAdmnControlField was changed from
     module8 to modulo8.

April 8, 1992

  The April 8, 1992 revision of this document (Editor's Internal
  Reference 2.4) incorporated the following changes:

     All reference comments in the MIB were moved to the REFERENCE
     field of the OBJECT-TYPE macro.

     A type of PositiveInteger was introduced and used for common
     integer values including all timers.  This effectively made the
     maximum value for timers 2147483646 milliseconds.  The type of the
     frame size was changed to positiveInteger.

     The reference to ISO 7776 has been broadened to say the MIB
     descriptions use the terminology of ISO 7776.

     A comment was added to the overview section discussing creation
     and deletion of tables.

     The objects in the lapbParmTable and lapbDefTable were
     redistributed to create a lapbOperTable, a lapbAdmnTable, and a
     lapbXidTable.  The lapbParmTable and lapbDefTable were deleted.
     Objects were included in the Admn table for t3 and t4.

     An object identifier was added to identify the protocol version.

     A DEFVAL clause was added for all writable objects.

     Some more overview text was included.

February 1992

  The February 1992 revision of this document (Editor's Internal
  Reference 1.17) incorporated the following changes:

     The name was changed from HDLC to LAPB. This change was made
     because other flavors of HDLC such as LAPD, SDLC, and raw HDLC
     framing, are different enough that this MIB will not adequately



Throop & Baker                                                 [Page 28]

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


     manage them.

     The Historical Perspective section at the beginning of the
     document has been replaced with a more concise Network Management
     Framework section.

     The name lapbParmKWindowSize was changed to
     lapbParmTransmitKWindowSize and the object
     lapbParmReceiveKWindowSize was added. This change was made because
     section 5.7.4 of ISO 7776 and Table 3 of ISO 8885 have provisions
     for different values for the transmit and receive window size.

     The name lapbParmN1FrameSize was changed to
     lapbParmTransmitN1FrameSize and the object
     lapbParmReceiveN1FrameSize was added. This change was made because
     section 5.7.3 of ISO 7776 and Table 3 of ISO 8886 have provisions
     for different values for the transmit and receive maximum frame
     size.

     The object lapbParmPortIndex was deleted and the description of
     lapbParmPortId was changed.  The object lapbParmPortId now
     identifies an instance of the index object for the MIB of the
     physical device or interface below LAPB.

     The units for the timers were changed to Milliseconds to be
     consistent with ISO 8885; see table 3.

     The objects lapbParamT2AckDelayTimer and
     lapbParamT3DisconnectTimer both allow values of 0 to indicate the
     timer is not being used.

     The object lapbParamT4IdleTimer has a value to indicate timer not
     in use.

     The object lapbFlowXidReceived was added to the flow table.

     The lapbDefTable was added.

     Ranges and sizes were added for all INTEGERs and OCTET STRINGs
     that didn't have them.

October 1991

  The October 1991 revision of this document basically changed the name
  from LAPB to HDLC to make the objects more appropriate for a broader
  range of uses.  A number of minor changes were made to bring the
  objects in line with established conventions.  These changes are as
  follows.



Throop & Baker                                                 [Page 29]

RFC 1381                     X.25 LAPB MIB                 November 1992


     The enumerated values of hdlcParmStationType were renumbered from
     0 and 1 to 1 and 2.

     The object hdlcFlowBusyDefer was renamed hdlcFlowBusyDefers.

     The object hdlcFlowRejSent was rename hdlcFlowRejOutPkts.

     The object hdlcFlowRejReceived was renamed hdlcFlowRejInPkts.

June 1991

  The June revision of this document incorporated much of the E-mail
  discussion of the first draft. In particular it replaced the
  lapbStatTable (and all contents) with the lapbFlowTable.

April 1991

  The April 24 version of this document was the first release.  At that
  time this document was basically a bunch of objects synthesized from
  various vendor MIBs and a quick reading of ISO 7776 [10].  On first
  reading it appeared to instrument too many LAPB normal functions and
  too few exceptional conditions.  The lapbStatTable was too long and
  needed to be redone.
