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.

Throop & Baker [Page 5] 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.

Throop & Baker [Page 27] 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.
