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].

                            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

         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.

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

   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.

               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

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:

Fowler, Ed. Standards Track [Page 52] RFC 2496 DS3/E3 MIB January 1999

 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
                 4      Line#C   Router Side            10
                 4      Line#C   Network Side           11
                 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
                 2      Line#A     RouterSide              2
                 3      Line#B     Network Side            3
                 4      Line#B     RouterSide              4
                 5      Line#C     Network Side            5
                 6      Line#C     Router Side             6
                 7      Line#D     Network Side            7
                 8      Line#D     Router Side             8

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.
