RFC 2494: Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS0 and DS0 Bundle Interface Type πŸŽ€

okay bestie, this is Part 1 of 5 of RFC 2494, and it's a MIB spec πŸ’…. The header says it's from the Network Working Group, edited by D. Fowler of Newbridge Networks ✨. It's a Standards Track doc, dated January 1999. The header doesn't list anything it obsoletes or updates, so there's nothing to chase there πŸ¦‹.

Status of this Memo ✨

This doc is an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and it's asking for discussion and suggestions for improvements πŸ’œ. If you want to know where it stands in the standardization process, check the current edition of "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) πŸ“š. Distribution of this memo is unlimited 🌸.

Abstract πŸ¦‹

This memo defines a piece of the Management Information Base (MIB) for network management protocols used across the Internet community 🫢. Specifically, it covers the objects you need to manage DS0 and DS0 Bundle interfaces πŸ”₯. It's a companion to the DS1/E1/DS2/E2 doc (RFC 2495 [17]) and the DS3/E3 doc (RFC 2496 [18]), plus the work in progress on SONET/SDH Interface Types 🧚.

It's written as a MIB module that's compliant with the SNMPv2 SMI, and it's semantically identical to the SNMPv1 definitions πŸ’–.

1. The SNMP Management Framework ✨

The SNMP Management Framework is made up of five major components 🧩:

  • An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [1].
  • Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for management purposes. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and is 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].
  • Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and is 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 is described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and is described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2272 [11] and RFC 2274 [12].
  • 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].
  • 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. πŸ€“

2. Overview 🌸

These objects are used when the particular media being used to realize an interface is a DS0 interface. Right now, this applies to these values of the ifType variable in the Internet-standard MIB πŸ’…:

ds0 (81)
ds0Bundle (82)

2.1. BONDing Terminology πŸŽ€

For the definitions of the terms used to describe bonding modes, please reference The BONDing Spec [20] πŸ“–.

2.2. Use of ifTable for DS0 Layer πŸ’–

The following items are defined in RFC 2233 [16] πŸ¦‹.

Only the ifGeneralInformationGroup and ifCounterDiscontinuityGroup need to be supported 🫢.

          ifTable Object           Use for DS0 Layer
======================================================================
          ifIndex                  Interface index.

          ifDescr                  See interfaces MIB [16].

          ifType                   ds0(81) or ds0Bundle(82).

          ifSpeed                  64000 for ds0 (regardless of the
                                   setting of robbed bit signalling)
                                   or N*64000 for ds0Bundle.

          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 [16].

          ifOperStatus             See interfaces MIB [16].

          ifLastChange             See interfaces MIB [16].

          ifName                   See interfaces MIB [16].

          ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable   Set to disabled(2).
                                   Supports read-only access.

          ifHighSpeed              Set to rounded ifSpeed/1000000.

          ifConnectorPresent       Set to false(2).

2.3. Using ifStackTable 🧚

This section walks through, by example, how to use ifStackTable to show how ds0 and ds0Bundles relate to ds1 interfaces πŸ”₯. If you're implementing the stack table for ds0 and ds0Bundle interfaces, you should look at the appropriate RFC for whatever service is stacked on top of ds0s and ds0Bundles πŸ‘‘. The examples below are for illustration purposes only ✨.

Example: A Frame Relay Service is being carried on 4 ds0s of a ds1 🌈.

        +---------------------+
        | Frame Relay Service |
        +---------------------+
                   |
        +---------------------+
        | ds0Bundle           |
        +---------------------+
          |     |     |     |
        +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
        |ds0| |ds0| |ds0| |ds0|
        +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
          |     |     |     |
        +---------------------+
        | ds1                 |
        +---------------------+

The index values could, for example, be assigned like this πŸ“:

        ifIndex  Description
        1        FrameRelayService (type 44)
        2        ds0Bundle         (type 82)
        3        ds0 #1            (type 81)
        4        ds0 #2            (type 81)
        5        ds0 #3            (type 81)
        6        ds0 #4            (type 81)
        7        ds1               (type 18)

The ifStackTable is then used to show the relationships between the various interfaces πŸ’œ.

        ifStackTable Entries

        HigherLayer   LowerLayer
        0             1
        1             2
        2             3
        2             4
        2             5
        2             6
        3             7
        4             7
        5             7
        6             7
        7             0

In the case where the frameRelayService is using a single ds0, the ds0Bundle isn't required πŸ™ˆ.

        +---------------------+
        | Frame Relay Service |
        +---------------------+
          |
        +---+
        |ds0|
        +---+
          |
        +---------------------+
        | ds1                 |
        +---------------------+

The index values could, for example, be assigned like this πŸ¦‹:

        ifIndex  Description
        1        FrameRelayService (type 44)
        2        ds0               (type 81)
        3        ds1               (type 18)

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

        ifStackTable Entries

        HigherLayer   LowerLayer
        0             1
        1             2
        2             3
        3             0

That's Part 1 of 5 done! πŸ’– Section 2.3.1 and onward are coming up in the next part, so stay tuned πŸ§šπŸ’…

2.3.1. Usage of Channelization for DS3, DS1, DS0 πŸŽ€

okay bestie, let's walk through an example so you can see how the channelization objects in the DS3, DS1, and DS0 MIBs actually work together 🧚 treatment of E3 and E1 is basically the same, the only real difference is that the number of DS0s depends on the framing of the E1 πŸ’… and timeslot 16 isn't created for framing types that don't pass data over it πŸ™ˆ

say a DS3 (with ifIndex 1) gets channelized straight into DS1s, no DS2s in between πŸ“ the object dsx3Channelization is set to enabledDs1, and that gives you 28 DS1s in the ifTable 🌈 assume the DS1 entries get created in channel order with ifIndex values 2 through 29 ✨ then the DS1 MIB gets one entry in the dsx1ChanMappingTable for each ds1, and it looks like this πŸ¦‹

dsx1ChanMappingTable Entries

ifIndex  dsx1Ds1ChannelNumber   dsx1ChanMappedIfIndex
1        1                      2
1        2                      3
......
1        28                     29

the DS1s also get channelized into DS0s πŸ”₯ the object dsx1Channelization is set to enabledDs0 for each DS1, and when it's set to that value the agent creates 24 DS0s πŸ’– that means 24 DS0s show up in the ifTable for each DS1 πŸ’œ and if dsx1Channelization gets set to disabled, those 24 DS0s get destroyed πŸ’€

assume the ifTable entries are created in channel order again, so the DS0s in the first DS1 have ifIndex values 30 through 53 🫢 in the DS0 MIB there's an entry in the dsx0ChanMappingTable for each DS0, like so πŸ‘‘

dsx0ChanMappingTable Entries

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

2.3.2. Usage of ifIndex Mapping for DS0Bundle 🫧

this one's about the ifIndex mapping objects in the DS0Bundle MIB, and it's giving very "put it together and it clicks" energy ✨ an example here helps the implementor use the objects correctly 🌸

assume a DS1 (with ifIndex 1) is channelized into DS0s πŸ’… there are 24 DS0s in the ifTable, created in channel order with ifIndex values 2 through 25 🧚 now let's say the DS1 has two bundles on it ✨ the first uses channels 1 and 2, and the second uses channels 3 and 4 πŸŽ€ each bundle gets an ifTable entry, with ifIndex values 26 and 27 πŸ¦‹ there's an entry in the dsx0BundleTable for each bundle, and they look like this πŸ’œ

dsx0BundleTable Entries

dsx0BundleIndex    dsx0BundleIfIndex
1                  26
2                  27

there's also an entry in the dsx0ConfigTable for each DS0 πŸ“ those entries look like this 🌈

dsx0ConfigTable Entries

ifIndex  dsx0Ds0ChannelNumber   dsx0Ds0BundleMappedIfIndex
2        1                      26
3        2                      26
4        3                      27
5        4                      27
6        5                      0
7        6                      0
......
25       24                     0

3. Overview of the MIB ✨

this document contains 2 MIB modules: the DS0 MIB and the DS0Bundle MIB πŸ¦‹

3.1. DS0 MIB πŸŽ€

the DS0 MIB is used to represent individual DS0s in a DS1 or E1 πŸ’… variables in this MIB get created for each DS0 in the ifTable 🫢 this MIB contains the following group:

The DS0 Config Group - this group holds configuration information about a particular DS0 πŸ’–

3.2. DS0Bundle MIB 🧚

the DS0Bundle MIB is used to represent collections of DS0s that work together to carry data within a DS1/E1 at speeds faster than a single DS0 πŸš€ DS0Bundles are created on top of DS0s and get represented that way in the ifStackTable 🌸 this MIB contains the following groups:

The DS0 Bundle Group - this group has the objects used for creating new ds0Bundles, and it is mandatory πŸ‘‘

The DS0 Bonding Group - this group has information about bonding for a ds0Bundle, if bonding is enabled, and it is optional 🫧

4. Object Definitions for DS0 ✨

okay bestie, this is the real deal 🧚 the actual MIB module, DS0-MIB, written out in full. it's a big block of code, so don't skim it, every line matters πŸ’… it defines the DS0 interface objects, and the module's identity lives under transmission 81 πŸ¦‹

the vibe is basically two tables for the DS0 config group, the Configuration Table and the Channel Mapping Table, plus the conformance stuff at the bottom. the comments inside the code are part of the spec too, so they stay right where they are 🫢

the compliance bit is a big deal πŸ‘€ the MANDATORY-GROUPS line says ds0ConfigGroup has to be there, but a bunch of the writable objects can be read-only as the minimum, so check each MIN-ACCESS line carefully πŸŽ€

and the ds0ConfigGroup bundles up all the config objects, from dsx0Ds0ChannelNumber all the way to dsx0ChanMappedIfIndex 🌸

that's the whole MIB module, so we're now in the DS0Bundle config and bonding territory πŸ¦‹ the stuff in here is exactly what the spec says, no cap πŸ’–

6. Intellectual Property ✨

okay so the IETF is not picking a side here 🫢 they take no position on whether any intellectual property or other rights might be claimed over the tech in this doc, or whether any license under those rights is even available. they also aren't saying they checked for any of that stuff πŸ’…. if you want the IETF's procedures for rights in standards-track and standards-related docs, that's in BCP-11 πŸŽ€. copies of rights claims that were made available for publication, plus any assurances of licenses, or the result of trying to get a general license or permission for implementors or users of this spec, can all be requested from the IETF Secretariat πŸ“¬.

the IETF also invites anyone who's interested to flag any copyrights, patents, patent applications, or other proprietary rights that might cover technology required to practice this standard. send that info to the IETF Executive Director 🧚

9. Security Considerations ✨

⚠️ this section is SERIOUS, bestie. please read every word 😭

SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure environment πŸ’€. even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), there is still no control over who on that secure network is allowed to access and GET (read) the objects in this MIB πŸ™ˆ.

it is recommended that implementors consider the security features provided by the SNMPv3 framework πŸ”. specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC 2274 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model RFC 2275 [15] is recommended πŸ‘‘.

it is then a customer/user responsibility to make sure the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB is properly configured, so those objects are only accessible to principals (users) who have legitimate rights to them 🫢.

🚨 setting the following objects to an inappropriate value can cause loss of traffic 🚨. for example, with dsx0RobbedBitSignalling, the nature of the traffic flowing on the DS0 can be affected 😱.
dsx0RobbedBitSignalling
dsx0IdleCode
dsx0SeizedCode
dsx0TransmitCodesEnable
dsx0BundleRowStatus
dsx0BondMode
dsx0BondRowStatus

setting the following objects is mischievous, but not harmful to traffic 😏.

dsx0CircuitIdentifier
dsx0BundleNextIndex
