Abstract

   This memo defines an experimental 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,
   DS1/E1/DS2/E2 and SONET/SDH Interface Types, rfcTBD [14], rfcTBD [6]
   and rfcTBD [7].

   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.

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

   This document entirely replaces RFC 1407.

1.  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework


   The SNMP Network Management Framework presently consists of three
   major components.  They are:

   o    the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [1] - the mechanisms used for
        describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

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

   o    the protocol, RFC 1157 [3] and/or RFC 1905 [4], - the protocol
        for accessing managed objects.

   The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
   experimentation and evaluation.

2.  Object Definitions

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or 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, 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, we
   often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to also refer to
   the object type.

2.1.  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

        (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.

INTERNET-DRAFT                 DS3/E3 MIB                  February 1998


3.  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].

3.2.  Usage Guidelines

3.2.1.  Usage of ifStackTable

   The objects dsx3IfIndex and dsx3LineIndex have been deprecated.
   These objects previously allowed a very special proxy situation to
   exist for Routers and CSUs. This section now describes how to use
   ifStackTable to represent this relationship.

   The paragraphs discussing dsx3IfIndex and dsx3LineIndex have been
   preserved in Appendix A for informational purposes.

   The ifStackTable is used in the proxy case to represent the
   assoication between pairs of interfaces, e.g. this DS3 is attached to
   that DS3.  This use is consistent with the use of the ifStackTable to
   show the assoication between various sub-layers of an interface.  In
   both cases entire PDUs are exchanged between the interface pairs - in
   the case of a DS3, entire DS3 frames are exchanged; in the case of
   PPP and HDLC, entire HDLC frames are exchanged.  This usage is not
   meant to suggest the use of the ifStackTable to represent Time
   Division Multiplexing (TDM) connections in general.

   External&Internal interface scenario: the SNMP Agent resides on a
   host external from the device supporting DS3/E3 interfaces (e.g., a
   router). The Agent represents both the host and the DS3/E3 device.

   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:

           1        Ethernet
           2        Line#A Router

           12       Line#C CSU Network
           13       Line#D CSU Network

   The ifStackTable is then used to show the relationships between the
   various DS3 interfaces.

3.2.2.  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.

Assume that a DS3 (with ifIndex 1) is Channelized into DS1s (without
DS2s).  The object dsx3Channelization is set to enabledDs1.  There will
be 28 DS1s in the ifTable.  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

        ......

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

3.2.3.  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.

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:

3.2.4.  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

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.


3.3.  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.

3.4.  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.

3.4.1.  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)

          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)


3.4.2.  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.

   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

     P-bit Severely Errored Seconds (PSES)
          A PSES is a second with 44 or more PCVs OR one or more Out of

     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)

     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.

          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.


3.4.3.  Performance Defects

     Failure States:
          The Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) failure, in SYNTRAN
          applications, is declared after detecting the Yellow Alarm
          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)

     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.

              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:

5.  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:


Expires August 1998                                            [Page 60]


INTERNET-DRAFT                 DS3/E3 MIB                  February 1998


      ifIndex=dsx3IfIndex=dsx3LineIndex for all interfaces.

   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:

   |     |     |
   |     +-----+

   The assignment of the index values could for example be:

           ifIndex (= dsx3IfIndex)                     dsx3LineIndex

                   1                   NA                  NA (Ethernet)

                   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

6.  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

It is an implementation-specific matter whether an agent assumes that
the initial state of the interface is available or unavailable.

9.  Security Considerations

   This MIB adds no security issues that are not raised by SNMP itself.
   As a Network Management Protocol, SNMP is capable of changing the
   configuration of a system, of denial of service attacks through
   requiring the agent to respond to its messages, and displaying values
   of system counters and configuration settings in the clear where an
   adversary might read them. This, however, is not in itself a threat:
   this is the function of the protocol, but could be misused. Such
   misuse can be avoided or minimized through SNMP Security.

   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.
      dsx3LineStatusChangeTrabEnable
