1 CHAPTER 3 This chapter describes the individual MIB objects that comprise the PXM45-specific MIB files. The IF MIB resides in the IF-MIB.my file. This MIB is extracted from RFC 2233 and describes the generic network interface sub-layers. The IF MIB is an updated version of MIB-II s iftable and incorporates the extensions defined in RFC Contents of this chapter include: Interface Index Interface Table Extension to the Interface Table High Capacity Counters Interface-Related Traps IF MIB Conformance and Compliance Statements Interface Index The interface index contains the semantics of the ifindex and is used for any objects defined on other mib modules that need these semantics. The object identifier for each MIB object is listed in Table 3-1. Table 3-1 Interface Index Object Identifiers Name Object Identifier OwnerString InterfaceIndex InterfaceIndexOrZero ifnumber ::= { interfaces 1 } iftablelastchange ::= { ifmibobjects 5 } 3-1

2 Interface Index Chapter 3 The MIB objects are listed in Table 3-2. Table 3-2 Interface Index MIB Objects OwnerString OCTET STRING Uses a model as an administratively-assigned name (SIZE(0..255)) of the resource-owner for this data type. This information is taken from the NVT ASCII character set. It is suggested that this name contains one or more of the following: ASCII form of the manager station s transport address. Management station name (for example, domain name). Network management personnel s name, location, or phone number. In some cases, the agent itself is the owner of an entry. In these cases, start of the string can be the agent substring. InterfaceIndex contains the semantics of ifindex and is used for any syntax defined on other MIB modules that need these semantics. Display Hint: 255a InterfaceIndex Integer32 ( ) Specifies a unique value, greater than zero, for each interface or interface sub-layer in the managed system. It is recommended that values are assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each interface sub-layer must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity s network management system to the next re-initialization. Display Hint: d InterfaceIndexOrZero Integer32 ( ) Specifies an extension of the InterfaceIndex convention for this textual convention. The latter defines a greater than zero value used to identify an interface or interface sub-layer in the managed system. This extension permits the additional value of zero. The zero value is specific and must therefore be defined as part of the description of any object using this syntax. Examples of the usage of zero include situations when the interface was unknown, or when or all interfaces are referenced. Display Hint: d 3-2

3 Chapter 3 Interface Table Table 3-2 Interface Index MIB Objects (continued) ifnumber Integer32 Determines the number of network interfaces (regardless of their current state) present on this system. iftablelastchange TimeTicks Determines the value sysuptime at the last creation or deletion of an entry in the iftable. If the number of entries are unchanged since the last re-initialization of the local network management subsystem, this contains a zero value. Interface Table The interface table contains information on the entity s interfaces. Each sub-layer below the internetwork layer of a network interface is considered to be an interface. The object identifier for each MIB object is listed in Table 3-3. Table 3-3 Interface Table Object Identifiers Name Object Identifier iftable ::= { interfaces 2 } ifentry ::= { iftable 1 } ifindex ::= { ifentry 1 } ifdescr ::= { ifentry 2 } iftype ::= { ifentry 3 } ifmtu ::= { ifentry 4 } ifspeed ::= { ifentry 5 } ifphysaddress ::= { ifentry 6 } ifadminstatus ::= { ifentry 7 } ifoperstatus ::= { ifentry 8 } iflastchange ::= { ifentry 9 } ifinoctets ::= { ifentry 10 } ifinucastpkts ::= { ifentry 11 } ifinnucastpkts ::= { ifentry 12 } ifindiscards ::= { ifentry 13 } ifinerrors ::= { ifentry 14 } 3-3

4 Interface Table Chapter 3 Table 3-3 Interface Table Object Identifiers (continued) Name Object Identifier ifinunknownprotos ::= { ifentry 15 } ifoutoctets ::= { ifentry 16 } ifoutucastpkts ::= { ifentry 17 } ifoutnucastpkts ::= { ifentry 18 } ifoutdiscards ::= { ifentry 19 } ifouterrors ::= { ifentry 20 } ifoutqlen ::= { ifentry 21 } ifspecific ::= { ifentry 22 } The MIB objects are listed in Table 3-4. Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects iftable Sequence of IfEntry Provides a list of interface entries. The number of entries is given by the value of ifnumber. Max-Access: not-accessible ifentry IfEntry Contains an entry that is used for management information applicable to a particular interface. Max-Access: not-accessible The index contains ifindex. ifindex InterfaceIndex Specifies a unique value, greater than zero, for each interface. It is recommended that values be assigned contiguously starting from one. The value for each interface sub-layer must remain constant from one reinitialization of the entity s network management system to the next reinitialization. Note For the Cisco MGX 8850, the values may not be contiguous and cannot start from one. The ifindex association with a physical interface or a logical interface is found in ifname object. 3-4

5 Chapter 3 Interface Table Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifdescr DisplayString (SIZE (0..255)) Specifies a textual string that contains information about the interface. This string can include the name of the manufacturer, the product name, and the version of the interface hardware and software. An example can be the association of the interface with a physical or logical interface. iftype IANAifType Indicates the type of interface. Additional values for iftype are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), by updating the syntax of the IANAifType textual convention. ifmtu Integer32 Indicates the size of the largest packet that is sent and received on the interface, specified in octets. For interfaces that are used to transmit network datagrams, this is the largest network datagram sent on the interface. ifspeed Gauge32 Determines an estimate of the interface s current bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or no accurate estimation is made, ifspeed can indicate the nominal bandwidth. If the bandwidth of the interface is greater than the maximum value reportable, ifspeed can report its maximum value (4,294,967,295). For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, ifspeed is zero. ifphysaddress PhysAddress Indicates the address of the interface at the protocol sub-layer. For example, an interface can normally contain a Media Access Control (MAC) address. The interface s media-specific MIB must define the bit and byte ordering and the format of the value of this address. For interfaces which do not have such an address (for example, a serial line), ifphysaddress can contain an octet string of zero length. 3-5

6 Interface Table Chapter 3 Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifadminstatus Integer {up (1), ready to pass packets down; (2), testing; (3), in some test mode} Indicates the desired state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates no operational packets are passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with ifadminstatus in the down (2) state. As a result of either explicit management action or through configuration information retained by the managed system, ifadminstatus is then changed to either the up(1), testing(3), or remains in the down( 2) state. Max-Access: read-write ifoperstatus Integer {up (1), ready to pass packets; down (2); testing (3), in some test mode; unknown (4), status can not be determined; dormant (5); notpresent (6), some component is missing; lowerlayerdown (7), down due to state of lower-layer interface(s)} Indicates the current operational state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets are passed. If ifadminstatus is down(2), ifoperstatus is down(2). If ifadminstatus is changed to up(1), ifoperstatus can change to up(1). If the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic, it can change to dormant(5) when the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection). It can remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state. It can remain in the notpresent(6) state if the interface is missing hardware components. iflastchange TimeTicks Indicates the sysuptime value at the time the interface entered the current operational state. If the current state is entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, this contains a zero value. ifinoctets Counter32 Indicates the total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. 3-6

7 Chapter 3 Interface Table Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifinucastpkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-layer. The packets were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifinnucastpkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets that are delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-layer. They are addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. This is deprecated in favor of ifinmulticastpkts and ifinbroadcastpkts. Status: deprecated ifindiscards Counter32 Indicates the number of inbound packets that are chosen to be discarded even though no errors are detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet can be to free up buffer space. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifinerrors Counter32 Indicates the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol for packet-oriented interfaces. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units contained errors that prevented them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. 3-7

8 Interface Table Chapter 3 Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifinunknownprotos Counter32 Indicates the number of packets received through the interface, which are discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol for packet-oriented interfaces. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces that support protocol multiplexing, this object indicates the number of transmission units received through the interface. These units were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. For an interface that does not support protocol multiplexing, this counter is always zero. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system and at other times as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifoutoctets Counter32 Indicates the number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifoutucastpkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets that are requested for transmission by higher-level protocols. These packets are not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer. The number includes those that are discarded or not sent. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifoutnucastpkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets that are requested for transmission by higher-level protocols, which are addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer. The number includes those that are discarded or not sent. The discontinued counter value can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. This is deprecated in favor of ifoutmulticastpkts and ifoutbroadcastpkts. Status: deprecated 3-8

9 Chapter 3 Interface Table Table 3-4 Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifoutdiscards Counter32 Indicates the number of outbound packets chosen to be discarded, even though no errors have been detected to prevent their transmission. One possible reason for discarding such a packet can be to free up buffer space. The discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifouterrors Counter32 Indicates the number of outbound packets that cannot be transmitted because of errors for packet-oriented interfaces. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, this object indicates the number of outbound transmission units that can not be transmitted because of errors. The discontinued counter value can occur at re-nitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifoutqlen Gauge32 Indicates the length of the output packet queue (in packets). Status: deprecated ifspecific IDENTIFIER Refers to MIB definitions specific to the particular media being used to realize the interface. It is recommended that this value points to an instance of a MIB in the media-specific MIB. The pointer can have the semantics associated with the Instance Pointer textual convention defined in RFC In fact, it is recommended that the media-specific MIB specify what value ifspecific can take for values of iftype. If no MIB definitions specific to the particular media are available, the value is set to the IDENTIFIER { 0 0 }. Status: deprecated 3-9

10 Extension to the Interface Table Chapter 3 Extension to the Interface Table The object identifier for each MIB object is listed in Table 3-5. Note This table replaces the ifextnstable table. Table 3-5 Extension to the Interface Table Object Identifiers Name Object Identifier ifxtable ::= { ifmibobjects 1 } ifxentry ::= { ifxtable 1 } ifname ::= { ifxentry 1 } ifinmulticastpkts ::= { ifxentry 2 } ifinbroadcastpkts ::= { ifxentry 3 } ifoutmulticastpkts ::= { ifxentry 4 } ifoutbroadcastpkts ::= { ifxentry 5 } The MIB objects are listed in Table 3-6. Table 3-6 Extension to the Interface Table MIB Objects ifxtable SEQUENCE Lists the interface entries. The number of entries given by the value of OF IfXEntry ifnumber. This table contains additional entries for the interface table. Max-Access: not-accessible ifxentry IfXEntry Contains additional management information applicable to a particular interface for this entry. Max-Access: not-accessible The index contains ifentry. 3-10

11 Chapter 3 Extension to the Interface Table Table 3-6 Extension to the Interface Table MIB Objects (continued) ifname DisplayString Specifies the textual name of the interface. The ifname value is the name of the interface assigned by the local device and is suitable for use in commands entered at the device console. Depending on the interface naming syntax of the device, ifname is a text name such as le0 or a simple port number such as 1. If several entries in the iftable together represent a single interface as named by the device, each has the same value of ifname. Note For an agent that responds to SNMP queries concerning an interface on some other (proxy) device, the ifname value for such an interface is the proxy device local name. If there is no local name, or if ifname is not applicable, this object contains a zero length string. Note For the Cisco MGX 8850, ifname contains the physical or logical association of a name. The actual values depend on the implementation. The following is an example that illustrates the value(s) for the ifname object: ifdescr ifname Remark <string> rs232mp Association of RS232 Maintenance Port Logical Slot 7, Bay 1, Port 1 <string> ethernet Association of Ethernet Port Logical Slot 1, Bay 1, Port 1 <string> slip Association of slip Logical Slot 7, Bay 1 rs232port 2, Interface 1 Physical lines, ATM physical lines, and ATM virtual interfaces are the three conventions used for the ifname object. Physical Lines This format is used for Physical Lines such as SONET, DS3, DS1, and so on forth. The following is an example: <linetype>.<logical-slot>.<bay>.<linenumber> The following are the values for the physical lines: linetype logical-slot Refers to SONET, DS3, DS1, Ethernet, and RS232 Determines the logical slot number of the module. 3-11

For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both groups and functional addresses. The discontinued counter value can occur at re-nitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifinbroadcast Pkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub-layer. These packets are addressed to a broadcast address.the discontinued counter value can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifoutmulticast Pkts Counter32 Indicates the number of packets that higher-level protocols request be transmitted.

14 High Capacity Counters Chapter 3 High Capacity Counters The high capacity counters are 64 bit versions of the basic iftable counters. They have the same basic semantics as their 32-bit counterparts; their syntax is extended to 64 bits. The object identifier for each MIB object is listed in Table 3-7. Table 3-7 High Capacity Counters Object Identifiers Name Object Identifier ifhcinoctets ::= { ifxentry 6 } ifhcinucastpkts ::= { ifxentry 7 } ifhcinmulticastpkts ::= { ifxentry 8 } ifhcinbroadcastpkts ::= { ifxentry 9 } ifhcoutoctets ::= { ifxentry 10 } ifhcoutucastpkts ::= { ifxentry 11 } ifhcoutmulticastpkts ::= { ifxentry 12 } ifhcoutbroadcastpkts ::= { ifxentry 13 } iflinkupdowntrapenable ::= { ifxentry 14 } ifhighspeed ::= { ifxentry 15 } ifpromiscuousmode ::= { ifxentry 16 } ifconnectorpresent ::= { ifxentry 17 } ifalias ::= { ifxentry 18 } ifcounterdiscontinuitytime ::= { ifxentry 19 } 3-14

For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses. This object is a 64-bit version of ifinmulticastpkts. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifhcinbroadcastpkts Counter64 Indicates the number of packets that are delivered by a lower sub-layer to a higher sub-layer, which are addressed to a broadcast address at the lower sub-layer. This is a 64-bit version of ifinbroadcastpkts. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. 3-15

16 High Capacity Counters Chapter 3 Table 3-8 High Capacity Counters MIB Objects (continued) ifhcoutoctets Counter64 Indicates the number of octets transmitted out of the interface that includes framing characters. This is a 64-bit version of ifoutoctets. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifhcoutucastpkts Counter64 Indicates the number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, which are not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer. This includes those packets that are discarded or not sent. This is a 64-bit version of ifoutucastpkts. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. ifhcoutmulticastpkts Counter64 Indicates the total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, which are addressed to a multicast address at this sub-layer. This includes the packets that are discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses. This is a 64-bit version of ifoutmulticastpkts.

This includes those packets that are discarded or not sent. This is a 64-bit version of ifoutbroadcastpkts. The discontinued counter values can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times, as indicated by the ifcounterdiscontinuitytime value. 3-16

17 Chapter 3 High Capacity Counters Table 3-8 High Capacity Counters MIB Objects (continued) iflinkupdowntrapenable Integer { enabled (1), disabled (2) } Indicates whether linkup or linkdown traps can be generated for this interface. By default, this can have the value enabled(1) for interfaces, which do not operate on top of any other interface (as defined in the ifstacktable) and disabled(2) otherwise. Max-Access: read-write ifhighspeed Gauge32 Provides an estimate of the interface current bandwidth in units of 1,000,000 bits per second. If this reports a value of n, the speed of the interface is from n-500,000 to n+499,999. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, ifhighspeed can contain the nominal bandwidth. For a sub-layer having a defined bandwidth, the value is zero. ifpromiscuousmode Truth Specifies a value of false(2) if the interface accepts only packets or frames that are addressed to this station. It has a value of true(1) when the station accepts all packets or frames transmitted on the media. The value true(1) is valid only on certain types of media. If valid, setting ifpromiscuousmode to a value of true(1) can require the interface to be reset before becoming effective. The value of ifpromiscuousmode does not effect the reception of broadcast and multicast packets or frames by the interface. Max-Access: read-write ifconnectorpresent Truth Specifies the value true(1) if the interface sublayer has a physical connector and the value false(2). 3-17

18 High Capacity Counters Chapter 3 Table 3-8 High Capacity Counters MIB Objects (continued) ifalias DisplayString (SIZE(0..64)) Describes an alias for the interface as specified by a network manager. It provides a non-volatile handle for the interface. On the first instance of an interface, the value of ifalias associated with that interface is the zero-length string. When a value is written into ifalias through a network management set operation, the agent must retain the supplied value in the ifalias instance associated with the same interface. The agent must retain this supplied value for as long as that interface remains instantiated. The duration that the interface remains instantiated includes all reinitializations and reboots of the network management system. It also includes those which result in a change of the interface s ifindex value. An example of the value that a network manager can store in ifalias for a WAN interface is the Telco s circuit number or identifier of the interface. Some agents can support write-access only for interfaces having particular values of iftype. An agent that supports write access to this is required to keep the value in non-volatile storage, but it can limit the length of new values depending on how much storage is occupied by the current values for other interfaces. Max-Access: read-write ifcounterdiscontinuitytime TimeStamp Indicates the sysuptime value on the most recent occasion one or more of this interface s counters suffered a discontinuity. The relevant counters are the specific instances associated with this interface of any Counter32 or Counter64 contained in the iftable or ifxtable. If no such discontinuities have occurred since the last reinitialization of the local management subsystem, this object contains a zero value. 3-18

19 Chapter 3 Interface-Related Traps Interface-Related Traps The object identifier for each trap is listed in Table 3-9. Table 3-9 Interface-Related Traps Object Identifiers Name Object Identifier linkdown ::= { snmptraps 3 } linkup ::= { snmptraps 4 } The traps are listed n in Table Table 3-10 Interface-Related Traps MIB Objects linkdown {ifindex, ifadminstatus, ifoperstatus} Signifies that the SNMPv2 entity, acting in an agent role, has detected that the ifoperstatus for one of its communication links is about to enter the down state. This can be from any other state except the notpresent state. This previous state is indicated by the included value of ifoperstatus. linkup {ifindex, ifadminstatus, ifoperstatus} Signifies that the SNMPv2 entity, acting in an agent role, has detected that the ifoperstatus for one of its communication links left the down state and transitioned into some other state. This includes any previous state except the notpresent state. This previous state is indicated by the included value of ifoperstatus.
