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:
o RFC 1441 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o 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.
Hilgeman, Nix, Bartky & Clark [Page 2]
RFC 1747 SNADLC SDLC MIB using SMIv2 January 1995
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:
o Ports: the physical connection, and
o Link Stations: the logical connections on the Port.
The three management tables are:
o Adminstration: objects used for configuring and controlling
the operation of a Port or Link Station,
o Operational: objects that reflect the run-time state of the
Port or Link Station, and
o 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.
Hilgeman, Nix, Bartky & Clark [Page 3]
RFC 1747 SNADLC SDLC MIB using SMIv2 January 1995
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.
Hilgeman, Nix, Bartky & Clark [Page 4]
RFC 1747 SNADLC SDLC MIB using SMIv2 January 1995
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
Hilgeman, Nix, Bartky & Clark [Page 5]
RFC 1747 SNADLC SDLC MIB using SMIv2 January 1995
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.
