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].
Fowler, Ed. Standards Track [Page 4]RFC 2496 DS3/E3 MIB January 1999
2.1. Use of ifTable for DS3 Layer
Only the ifGeneralGroup needs to be supported.
ifTable Object Use for DS3 Layer
======================================================================
ifIndex Interface index.
ifDescr See interfaces MIB [5]
ifType ds3(30)
ifSpeed Speed of line rate
DS3 - 44736000
E3 - 34368000
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 [5]
ifOperStatus See interfaces MIB [5]

(either 45 or 34)
ifConnectorPresent Set to true(1) normally, except for
cases such as DS3/E3 over AAL1/ATM where
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.

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

2.2.4. 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
is not incremented when UASs are counted. (Also known as
ESCP-P. See T1.231 section 7.4.2.2)
C-bit Severely Errored Seconds (CSES)
A CSES is a second with 44 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
is not incremented when UASs are counted. (Also known as
SESCP-P. See T1.231 section 7.4.2.5)
Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS)
A SEFS is a second with one or more Out of Frame defects OR a
detected incoming AIS. This item is not incremented during
unavailable seconds. (Also known as SAS-P. See T1.231 section
7.4.2.6)
Fowler, Ed. Standards Track [Page 11]RFC 2496 DS3/E3 MIB January 1999
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

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.

DESCRIPTION
"This table is deprecated in favour of using

ifStackTable.
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
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 2 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.16 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 3 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.17 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 4 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.18 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 5 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.19 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 6 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.20 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 7 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.21 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 8 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.22 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 9 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.23 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.10 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.24 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.11 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.25 = 6

dsx3FracIfIndex.2.13 = 5 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.27 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.14 = 5 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.28 = 6
For dsx3M23, dsx3 SYNTRAN, dsx3CbitParity, and
dsx3ClearChannel there are 28 legal channels,
numbered 1 throug h 28.
For e3Framed there are 16 legal channels, numbered

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.

dsx3LineType
dsx3LineCoding
dsx3SendCode
dsx3LoopbackConfig
dsx3TransmitClockSource
dsx3LineLength
dsx3Channelization
Setting the following object is mischevious, but not harmful to
traffic
dsx3CircuitIdentifier
Setting the following object can cause an increase in the number of
traps received by the network management station.
