- Reported by Fred Baker/Cisco Systems
-
- Minutes of the DS1/DS3 MIB Working Group (TRUNKMIB)
-
- The working group mailing list has been changed to trunk-mib@cisco.com.
-
- It is a goal of the editor to generate a new draft by the end of October
- for discussion at the Dallas IETF meeting in December.
-
-
- Discussion
-
- The issues previously identified on the mailing list were discussed:
-
-
- 1. dsx1Fdl -- The item is a bit map, so the enumerated items will be
- moved into the description and the description clarified.
-
- 2. dsx1LineIndex, dsx1Index -- These items will be deprecated and
- examples of using the ifStackTable for accomplishing the same
- functionality will be added.
-
- 3 & 4. ds0 ifType and the dsx1FracTable -- James Watt will generate a
- proposal on how the ds0 ifType will be used. The ds0 type will
- have per circuit or per bundle configurations (see Item 8) and will
- be creatable. Examples of using the ifStackTable will be provided.
- The fracTable may no longer be necessary and may be deprecated in
- favour of new table(s) for ds0s.
-
- 5. Loopbacks -- Additional loopback types will be added for inward
- type loopbacks. Specific types will be put to the list.
-
- 6. UAS (Unavailable Seconds) -- Add the following rule to the
- description of UAS objects: When the unavailable seconds occur
- across intervals, the previous value of unavailable seconds will be
- updated. This rule is already in Section 3.3.3 and that section
- will also be clarified.
-
- 7. dsx1SendCode -- This object will be clarified that this is how
- sendCode is set. A new object will be created to indicate the
- current state of sendCode.
-
- 8. Per-Circuit (ds0) configuration -- Signaling is configurable on a
- per ds0 basis for T1s. A proposal will be put to the list by James
- Watt. (See Item 3.) Additional configuration items may also be
- required, and this is put to the list.
-
- 9. Invalid Intervals -- In the proxy case, there may be holes in the
- statistics data. numValidIntervals will be updated to mean the
- maximum interval number for which there is valid data. If a
- missing interval occurs, the agent will return noSuchName for all
- statistics for that interval. The treatment of the total table
- will be discussed on the list. Three possibilities were discussed:
- deprecate the total table, add a Boolean object that indicates
- whether or not data has been missed, or make totals the total of
- the all contiguous intervals with valid data beginning with one.
-
- 10. A reference will be added for T1M1.3/92-005R1.
-
- 11. Add references for performance parameters.
-
- 12. Row creation -- This will not be allowed for the dsx1ConfigTable.
- James Watt will put forward a proposal on how the Entity MIB may
- accomplish this.
-
- 13. Add transparent to the list of types for dsx1LineType.
-
- 14. Update the MIB to SNMPv2 format.
-
- 15. Add definitions for how objects in RFC 1573 will be used. See
- RFC 1595 for help.
-
- 16. DS2 additions -- New groups for DS2 support will be added. The
- proposal made to the list looks OK and James Watt has volunteered
- to double-check it.
-
- 17. dsx1LineStatus -- George Mouradian has asked for extra bits and
- will put the specifics to the list.
-
- 18. Clarification -- Say what T1 does with ES/UAS counters.
-
- 19. dsx1LineStatus -- Bit 4 and Bit 32 seem to have to occur at the
- same time. James Watt will check his notes regarding this. If
- they are both required, a clarification will be added.
-
- 20. Add an explanation as to why stats are gauges instead of counters.
-
- 21. Are linkUp/linkDown traps sufficient or is a trap required for
- dsxLineStatus changes? George Mouradian will investigate and reply
- to the list.
