Definitions of Managed Objects
for Bridges
Status of this Memo
This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.

Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets.
In particular it defines objects for managing MAC bridges based on
the IEEE 802.1D-1990 standard between Local Area Network (LAN)
segments. Provisions are made for support of transparent bridging.
Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges
connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.

1. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
STD16/RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
STD16/RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which
is wholly consistent with the SMI.
RFC 1156 which defines MIB-I, the core set of managed objects for
the Internet suite of protocols. STD17/RFC 1213, defines MIB-II,
an evolution of MIB-I based on implementation experience and new
operational requirements.
STD15/RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for
network access to managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2. Objects
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) [7]
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object is named by an OBJECT
IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name, which specifies an
object type. 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.
Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 2]
RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993
2.1. Format of Definitions
Section 5 contains the specification of all object types contained in
this MIB module. The object types are defined using the conventions
defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions specified in [9,10].
3. Overview
A common device present in many networks is the Bridge. This device
is used to connect Local Area Network segments below the network
layer.
There are two major modes defined for this bridging; transparent and
source route. The transparent method of bridging is defined in the
draft IEEE 802.1d specification [11]. This memo defines those
objects needed for the management of a bridging entity operating in
the transparent mode, as well as some objects applicable to all types
of bridges.
To be consistent with IAB directives and good engineering practice,
an explicit attempt was made to keep this MIB as simple as possible.
This was accomplished by applying the following criteria to objects
proposed for inclusion:
(1) Start with a small set of essential objects and add only
as further objects are needed.
(2) Require objects be essential for either fault or
configuration management.
(3) Consider evidence of current use and/or utility.
(4) Limit the total of objects.
(5) Exclude objects which are simply derivable from others in
this or other MIBs.
(6) Avoid causing critical sections to be heavily
instrumented. The guideline that was followed is one
counter per critical section per layer.
3.1. Structure of MIB
Objects in this MIB are arranged into groups. Each group is
organized as a set of related objects. The overall structure and
assignment of objects to their groups is shown below. Where
appropriate the corresponding IEEE 802.1d [11] management object name
is also included.

RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993
3.1.1. The dot1dBase Group
This mandatory group contains the objects which are applicable to all
types of bridges.
3.1.2. The dot1dStp Group
This group contains the objects that denote the bridge's state with
respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not
implemented the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be
implemented.
3.1.3. The dot1dSr Group
This group contains the objects that describe the entity's state with
respect to source route bridging. If source routing is not supported
this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to
source route only, and SRT bridges. This group will be described in
a separate document applicable only to source route bridging.
3.1.4. The dot1dTp Group
This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with
respect to transparent bridging. If transparent bridging is not
supported this group will not be implemented. This group is
applicable to transparent only and SRT bridges.
3.1.5. The dot1dStatic Group
This group contains objects that describe the entity's state with
respect to destination-address filtering. If destination-address
filtering is not supported this group will not be implemented. This
group is applicable to any type of bridge which performs
destination-address filtering.
3.2. Relationship to Other MIBs
As described above, some IEEE 802.1d management objects have not been
included in this MIB because they overlap with objects in other MIBs
applicable to a bridge implementing this MIB. In particular, it is
assumed that a bridge implementing this MIB will also implement (at
least) the 'system' group and the 'interfaces' group defined in MIB-
II [6].
3.2.1. Relationship to the 'system' group
In MIB-II, the 'system' group is defined as being mandatory for all
systems such that each managed entity contains one instance of each
Decker, Langille, Rijsinghani & McCloghrie [Page 6]
RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993
object in the 'system' group. Thus, those objects apply to the
entity as a whole irrespective of whether the entity's sole
functionality is bridging, or whether bridging is only a subset of
the entity's functionality.
3.2.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' group
In MIB-II, the 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for
all systems and contains information on an entity's interfaces, where
each interface is thought of as being attached to a `subnetwork'.
(Note that this term is not to be confused with `subnet' which refers
to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of
protocols.) The term 'segment' is used in this memo to refer to such
a subnetwork, whether it be an Ethernet segment, a 'ring', a WAN
link, or even an X.25 virtual circuit.
Implicit in this Bridge MIB is the notion of ports on a bridge. Each
of these ports is associated with one interface of the 'interfaces'
group, and in most situations, each port is associated with a
different interface. However, there are situations in which multiple
ports are associated with the same interface. An example of such a
situation would be several ports each corresponding one-to-one with
several X.25 virtual circuits but all on the same interface.
Each port is uniquely identified by a port number. A port number has
no mandatory relationship to an interface number, but in the simple
case a port number will have the same value as the corresponding
interface's interface number. Port numbers are in the range
(1..dot1dBaseNumPorts).
Some entities perform other functionality as well as bridging through
the sending and receiving of data on their interfaces. In such
situations, only a subset of the data sent/received on an interface
is within the domain of the entity's bridging functionality. This
subset is considered to be delineated according to a set of
protocols, with some protocols being bridged, and other protocols not
being bridged. For example, in an entity which exclusively performed
bridging, all protocols would be considered as being bridged, whereas
in an entity which performed IP routing on IP datagrams and only
bridged other protocols, only the non-IP data would be considered as
being bridged.
Thus, this Bridge MIB (and in particular, its counters) are
applicable only to that subset of the data on an entity's interfaces
which is sent/received for a protocol being bridged. All such data
is sent/received via the ports of the bridge.

RFC 1493 Bridge MIB July 1993
3.3. Textual Conventions
The datatypes, MacAddress, BridgeId and Timeout, are used as textual
conventions in this document. These textual conventions have NO
effect on either the syntax nor the semantics of any managed object.
Objects defined using these conventions are always encoded by means
of the rules that define their primitive type. Hence, no changes to
the SMI or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual
conventions which are adopted merely for the convenience of readers.
4. Changes from RFC 1286
(1) Updated all text to remove references to source route
bridging where not applicable. SR MIB will be a separate
document.
(2) Removed dot1dSrPortTable. Retained OID definition of
dot1dSr.
(3) Updated all references of "draft P802.1d/D9" to "IEEE
802.1D-1990".
(4) Updated bibliography.
(5) Added clarification to description of dot1dPortPathCost.
(6) Put recommended default in description of
dot1dStaticAllowedToGoTo.
(7) Put recommended default in description of
dot1dStaticStatus.
(8) Put recommended default in description of
dot1dTpAgingTime. Specified range of (10..1000000).
(9) Updated all port number syntaxes, when used as index, to
use the range (1..65535).
(10) Updated definition of dot1dTpPortInFrames and
dot1dTpPortOutFrames.
(11) Added text to the traps indicating that they are
optional.
(12) Clarified definition of dot1dStpForwardDelay.

-- Several objects in this MIB module represent values of
-- timers used by the Spanning Tree Protocol. In this
-- MIB, these timers have values in units of hundreths of
-- a second (i.e. 1/100 secs).
-- These timers, when stored in a Spanning Tree Protocol's

-- that 802.1D-1990 specifies a settable granularity of
-- no more than 1 second for these timers. To avoid

-- convention and all representation of these timers
-- in this MIB module are defined using this data type. An
-- algorithm is also defined for converting between the
-- different units, to ensure a timer's value is not
-- distorted by multiple conversions.
-- The data type is:
Timeout ::= INTEGER -- a STP timer in units of 1/100 seconds
-- To convert a Timeout value into a value in units of
-- 1/256 seconds, the following algorithm should be used:
--
-- b = floor( (n * 256) / 100)
--
-- where:
-- floor = quotient [ignore remainder]
-- n is the value in 1/100 second units
-- b is the value in 1/256 second units
--
-- To convert the value from 1/256 second units back to
-- 1/100 seconds, the following algorithm should be used:
--
-- n = ceiling( (b * 100) / 256)
--
-- where:
-- ceiling = quotient [if remainder is 0], or
-- quotient + 1 [if remainder is non-zero]
-- n is the value in 1/100 second units
-- b is the value in 1/256 second units

6. Acknowledgments
This document was produced on behalf of the Bridge Sub-Working Group
of the SNMP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
Over the course of its deliberations, the working group received four
separate documents for consideration as the basis for its work. The
first was submitted by Stan Froyd of Advanced Computer
Communications; the second by Richard Fox of SynOptics; the third by
Eric Decker of cisco Inc. and Keith McCloghrie of Hughes LAN Systems;
and the fourth by Paul Langille and Anil Rijsinghani of Digital
Equipment Corp. After considering the submissions, the working group
chose to proceed with a document formed as a conjunction of the
latter two submissions. This document is the result.
