-- the DS3/E3 Fractional Table
-- This table is deprecated.
dsx3FracTable OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF Dsx3FracEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS deprecated
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:
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 1 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.15 = 4
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 2 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.16 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 3 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.17 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 4 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.18 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 5 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.19 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 6 = 3 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.20 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 7 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.21 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 8 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.22 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2. 9 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.23 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.10 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.24 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.11 = 4 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.25 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.12 = 5 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.26 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.13 = 5 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.27 = 6
dsx3FracIfIndex.2.14 = 5 dsx3FracIfIndex.2.28 = 6
For dsx3M23, dsx3 SYNTRAN, dsx3CbitParity, and
dsx3ClearChannel there are 28 legal channels,
numbered 1 through 28.
For e3Framed there are 16 legal channels, numbered
1 through 16. The channels (1..16) correspond
directly to the equivalently numbered time-slots."

4. 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 RFC 1407 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, it was described this way to allow a manager to treat the value _as if_ it were an 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:
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:

| | |---------------+ - - - - -- - - - - +------>
| | R | |_____________________|
| | |
| +-----+
The assignment of the index values could for example be:
ifIndex (= dsx3IfIndex) dsx3LineIndex
1 NA NA (Ethernet)
2 Line#A Router Side 6
2 Line#A Network Side 7
3 Line#B Router Side 8
3 Line#B Network Side 9
4 Line#C Router Side 10
4 Line#C Network Side 11
5 Line#D Router Side 12
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
8 Line#D Router Side 8
5. 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 interval boundary;
rather, signal state information is retained across interval
boundaries.

Note that if such a procedure is adopted there is no current interval
data for the first ten seconds after a system comes up.
noSuchInstance must be returned if a management station attempts to access the current interval counters during this time. It is an implementation-specific matter whether an agent assumes that the initial state of the interface is available or unavailable.6. Acknowledgments

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. The specific the objects and their sensitivities/vulnerabilities are as follows. Setting the following objects to incorrect values may result in traffic interruptions: dsx3LineType dsx3LineCoding dsx3SendCode dsx3LoopbackConfig dsx3TransmitClockSource dsx3LineLength dsx3Channelization dsx3Ds1ForRemoteLoop 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. Setting the following objects to an incorrect value will result in the remote end receiving an incorrect Path Identification message, which may result in a connectivity inconsistency: dsx3FarEndEquipCode dsx3FarEndLocationIDCode dsx3FarEndFrameIDCode dsx3FarEndUnitCode dsx3FarEndFacilityIDCode
Setting the following object to an incorrect value will not harm the
traffic, but it may cause a circuit to be mis-identified and thereby
create difficulties for service personnel when attempting to
troubleshoot a problem:
dsx3CircuitIdentifier
Setting the following object can cause an increase in the number of
traps received by the network management station:
dsx3LineStatusChangeTrapEnable
The readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., the objects with a
MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive in
some environments since, collectively, they provide extensive
information about the performance of interfaces in DS3/E3 equipment
or networks and can reveal some aspects of their configuration. In
such environments it is important to control even GET and NOTIFY
access to these objects and possibly to encrypt the values of these
objects when sending them over the network via SNMP.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
