Definitions of Managed Objects for SNA Data Link Control (SDLC)

using SMIv2

Status of this Memo

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

This specification defines an extension to the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management. In particular, it defines objects for managing the configuration, monitoring and control of data link controls in an SNA environment. This draft identifies managed objects for SNA Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) links only.

1. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major components. They are:

  • RFC 1441 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

  • STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.

  • RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other architectural aspects of the framework.

  • RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to managed objects.

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

1.1. 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 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 refer to the object type.

2. Overview

This memo identifies the proposed set of objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling SDLC ports and link stations.

2.1. Tables Defined in the SNADLC SDLC MIB

The SNADLC MIB is composed of two managed entities with three tables each. The two managed entities for SDLC are:

  • Ports: the physical connection, and

  • Link Stations: the logical connections on the Port.

The three management tables are:

  • Adminstration: objects used for configuring and controlling the operation of a Port or Link Station,

  • Operational: objects that reflect the run-time state of the Port or Link Station, and

  • Statistics: objects that reflect the operating metrics of the Port or Link Station.

Considering the above combinations, the following are the actual tables found in this MIB:

     1)   Port Administration Table,

     2)   Port Operation Table,

     3)   Port Statistics Table,

     4)   Link Station Administration Table,

     5)   Link Station Operation Table,

     6)   Link Station Statistics Table.

All variables in this MIB relate to SDLC ports and link stations only. Any variable relating to higher-layer entities in SNA such as Physical Units (PU) and Logical Units (LU) are found in the SNA NAU MIB [4].

2.2. Row Creation Mechanism

Row creation mechanism for the sdlcLSAdminTable is based on the use of the RowStatus object. It follows the rules for the use in SNMPv1 context proposed in the memo "Row creation with SNMPv1" [5]. Before accepting the destroy value for an entry, an agent has to verify the operational state of the corresponding entry in the sdlcLSOperTable entry.


Page 4

2.3. Relationship to the Interfaces Group

This memo shall conform to the recommendations of [6].

The SDLC layer of each SDLC Port shall be modeled by a row in the ifTable with an ifType using the IANA assigned number for SDLC (17). Each SDLC port interface must comply with the following conformance groups in [6]:

     - ifGeneralGroup
     - ifStackGroup
     - ifPacketGroup

An implementation may optionally comply with the ifTestGroup defined in that memo to execute vendor specific tests. An example of this would be to perform LPDA test functions.

The SDLC port's relation with its physical, or lower-layer interface (i.e., RS-232, V.35, etc.) shall be modeled by a row in the ifStackTable with the ifStackHigherLayer pointing to the SDLC port ifTable instance and the ifStackLowerLayer pointing to the physical media-specific ifTable instance. The media-specific objects of these lower-layer interfaces will, of course, be described in their respective MIBs (i.e., [1]).

The following table provides specific implementation guidelines for all the interface group objects listed in the conformance tables above.

Object Use for an SDLC Port

ifIndex Each SDLC port is represented by an ifEntry. All
SDLC port tables shall be indexed by ifIndex.

ifDescr Description of the SDLC port.

ifType The IANA value reserved for SDLC - 17.

ifMtu Refer to [6].

ifSpeed This object shall reflect the value of the
corresponding object in the ifEntry of the associated lower-layer interface.

ifPhysAddress A string denoting the physical location of the SDLC
port within its node. This shall have unique significance within each implementing node.


Page 5

ifAdminStatus This object shall reflect the value of the
corresponding object in the ifEntry of the associated lower-layer interface.

ifOperStatus This object shall reflect the value of the
corresponding object in the ifEntry of the associated lower-layer interface.

ifLastChange Refer to [6].

ifInOctets Refer to [6].

ifInUcastPkts This object shall count packets received from a
specific SDLC poll address. Packets for the SDLC broadcast address of x'FF' are not counted.

ifInDiscards Refer to [6].

ifInErrors Refer to [6]. Specific counters for these errors
are kept in the sdlcPortStatsTable.

ifInUnknownProtos This counter shall return zero for SDLC ports.

ifOutOctets Refer to [6].

ifOutUcastPkts This object shall count packets transmitted to a
specific SDLC poll address (not x'FF').

ifOutDiscards Refer to [6].

ifOutErrors Refer to [6]. Specific counters for these errors
are kept in the sdlcPortStatsTable.

ifName The textual name of the SDLC port or an octet string
of zero length.

ifInMulticastPkts The value is 0 (not applicable to the SDLC layer).

ifInBroadcastPkts This object shall count packets received on this
interface addressed to the SDLC broadcast address (x'FF'). Only point-to-point ports supporting a secondary switched station should return non-zero values.

ifOutMulticastPkts The value is 0 (not applicable to the SDLC layer).

ifOutBroadcastPkts This object shall count packets transmitted on this
interface which were addressed to the SDLC broadcast


Page 6

address (x'FF'). Only point-to-point ports supporting a primary switched station should return non-zero values.

ifHC* Not part of the conformance group.

ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable
Refer to [6]. Default is disabled (2).

ifHighSpeed Refer to [6].

ifPromiscuousMode Should return false if this interface receives only
packets addressed to its SDLC poll address(es). However, in certain implementations, the lower-layer interface shall present all frames to the SDLC port regardless of the poll address. Such frames may be the result of a misconfigured peer or the secondary end of a multipoint connection. Such
implementations should return true for this object.

ifConnectorPresent Set to 'false'.

ifStackHigherLayer For each SDLC port there will be an ifStackEntry
with this object's value referring to the ifIndex of the SDLC port's ifEntry for the SDLC layer.

ifStackLowerLayer For each SDLC port there will be an ifStackEntry
with this object's value referring to the ifIndex of the physical layer interface's ifEntry for that SDLC port.

ifStackStatus Refer to [6].

6. Glossary

link station
A link station comprises procedures and control information that coordinate the transfer of data between two nodes joined by a link connection. All traffic over the link connection is from the primary link station to one or more secondary link stations, or from a secondary link station to the primary link station.

primary link station
The link station instance on a link connection that is responsible for the control of the data link. There must be only one primary link station on a link connection. The primary link station issues commands to one or more secondary link stations.

secondary link station
The link station instance on a link connection that receives commands from the primary link station and issues responses to it.

switched line
A telecommunications line in which the connection is established by dialing. For switched lines, the SDLC startup sequence typically begins with a null exchange identifier (null XID).

leased line
A telecommunications line on which connections do not have to be established by dialing. For leased lines, the SDLC startup sequence may or may not begin with an exchange identifer (XID). While there are interface (e.g., RS.232) differences between leased and switched lines, those interface differences do not map one-to-one with differences in the SDLC startup protocol (i.e., the interface and the SDLC protocol are independent from one another).

point-to-point link
A link that connects the single primary link station to single secondary link station. A point-to-point link may be either switched or leased.

multipoint link
A link that connects the single primary link station to several secondary link stations. A multipoint link may be either switched or leased. Note: The physical interface signals for a multipoint link are different than for a point-to-point link.
