2.  Abstract

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-
based internets.  In particular, it defines objects for
managing Frame Relay.

This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet
community.


3.  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The major components of the SNMPv2 Network Management
framework are described in the documents listed below.

o    RFC 1902 [1] defines the Structure of Management
     Information (SMI), the mechanisms used for describing and
     naming objects for the purpose of management.

o    STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] defines MIB-II, the core set of
     managed objects (MO) for the Internet suite of protocols.

o    RFC 1905 [3] defines the protocol used for network access
     to managed objects.

The framework is adaptable/extensible by defining new MIBs to
suit  the requirements of specific
applications/protocols/situations.

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store,
the  MIB.  Objects  in  the  MIB  are  defined  using the
subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined in the
SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER, which is an administratively assigned name. The

object  type  together  with  an  object  instance  serves  to
uniquely  identify  a  specific  instantiation  of the object.
For human convenience, often a textual string, termed the
descriptor, is  used  to refer to the object type.

4.  Overview

4.1.  Frame Relay Operational Model

For the purposes of understanding this document, Frame Relay
is viewed as a multi-access media, not as a group of point-
to-point connections.  This model proposes that Frame Relay is
a single interface to the network (physical connection) with
many destinations or neighbors (virtual connections).  This
view enables a network manager the ability to group all
virtual connections with their corresponding physical
connection thereby allowing simpler diagnostics and trouble
shooting.

With the extention of the interfaces MIB, it is possible to
configure frame relay DLCs as individual interfaces and create
ifTable entries for each.  This is not recommended and is not
directly supported by this MIB.  Additionally, in the presence
of demand circuits creation of individual ifEntries for each
is not possible.

Should the user wish to group DLCs together to associate them
with a higher layer, or to associate a DLC with an unnumbered
point-to-point service, the frame relay DTE MIB provides an
entry in the frCircuitEntry record.  For example, suppose one
were to configure a company proprietary protocol to run above
several of the frame relay VCs.  The basic layering would look
something like the following:

A configuration which specified that DLCI 40, 41,and 42 were
associated with a proprietary protocol layer, while DLCI 20
and 30 were to run IP directly can now be expressed using a
combination of frCircuitIfIndex and frCircuitLogicalIfIndex.
In this particular case DLCIs 40, 41 and 42 would use
frCircuitIfIndex equal to the frame relay interface level (2)
while their frCircuitLogicalIfIndex would indicate the
propritary protocol (3).  DLCIs 20 and 30 would have both
instances set to the frame relay interface (2).

                  interface, e.g. in a fractional T1 case
                  the access rate could be 384 kbits/s (the
                  value reported in this object) whereas the
                  speed of the underlying interface would be
                  1.544 Mbits/s (the value reported in the
                  instance of ifSpeed for the ifEntry with
                  type ds1).

 ifPhysAddress    The primary address for this interface

                  includes not only the information field

                  format errors or because the VC was not
                  known.  Format errors, in this case, are
                  any errors which would prevent the system
                  from recognizing the DLCI and placing the
                  error in the frCircuitDiscard category.

 ifInErrors       The number of received frames that are
                  discarded, because of an error.
                  Possible errors can be the following: the
                  frame relay frames were too long or were
                  too short, the frames had an invalid or
                  unrecognized DLCI values, or incorrect

 ifLinkUpDownTrapEnble  As per DESCRIPTION in RFC 1573.

 ifHighSpeed      The access rate of the frame relay interface
                  measured in Mbits/s.  If the access rate is

4.2.  Textual Conventions

One new data type is introduced as a textual convention in
this MIB document.  This textual conventions enhances the
readability of the specification and can ease comparison with
other specifications if appropriate.  It should be noted that
the introduction of the this textual conventions has no effect
on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed objects.
The use of this is merely an artifact of the explanatory
method used.  Objects defined in terms of one of these methods
are always encoded by means of the rules that define the
primitive type.  Hence, no changes to the SMI or the SNMP are
necessary to accommodate this textual conventions which is
adopted merely for the convenience of readers and writers in
pursuit of the elusive goal of clear, concise, and unambiguous
MIB documents.

The new data types is DLCI.  DLCI refers to the range
0..DLCINumber, and is used to refer to the valid Data Link
Connection Indices.  DLCINumber is, by definition, the largest
possible DLCI value possible under the configured Q.922
Address Format.

4.3.  Structure of MIB

The MIB is composed of three groups, one defining the Data
Link Connection Management Interface (DLCMI), one describing
the Circuits, and a third describing errors.

During normal operation, Frame Relay virtual circuits will be
added, deleted and change availability.  The occurrence of
such changes is of interest to the network manager and
therefore, one trap is defined, intended to be corollary to
the SNMP "Link Up" and "Link Down" traps.
