SNMP MIB extension for Multiprotocol Interconnect over X.25
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.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
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 Multiprotocol
Interconnect (including IP) traffic carried over X.25. The objects
defined here, along with the objects in the "SNMP MIB extension for
the Packet Layer of X.25"[8], "SNMP MIB extension for LAPB"[7], and
the "Definitions of Managed Objects for RS-232-like Hardware Devices"
[6], combine to allow management of the traffic over an X.25 protocol
stack.

1. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. These components give the rules for defining objects,
the definitions of objects, and the protocol for manipulating
objects.
Throop [Page 1]
RFC 1461 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 MIB May 1993
The network management framework structures objects in an abstract
information tree. The branches of the tree name objects and the
leaves of the tree contain the values manipulated to effect
management. This tree is called the Management Information Base or
MIB. The concepts of this tree are given in STD 16, RFC 1155, "The
Structure of Management Information" or SMI [1]. The SMI defines the
trunk of the tree and the types of objects used when defining the
leaves. STD 16, RFC 1212, "Towards Concise MIB Definitions" [3],
defines a more concise description mechanism that preserves all the
principals of the SMI.
The core MIB definitions for the Internet suite of protocols can be
found in STD 17, RFC 1213 [4], "Management Information Base for
Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets".
STD 15, RFC 1157 [2] defines the SNMP protocol itself. The protocol
defines how to manipulate the objects in a remote MIB.
The tree structure of the MIB allows new objects to be defined for
the purpose of experimentation and evaluation.
2. Objects
The definition of an object in the MIB requires an object name and
type. Object names and types are defined using the subset of
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [5] defined in the SMI [1].
Objects are named using ASN.1 object identifiers, administratively
assigned names, to specify object types. The object name, together
with an optional object instance, uniquely identifies a specific
instance of an object. For human convenience, we often use a textual
string, termed the descriptor, to refer to objects.
Objects also have a syntax that defines the abstract data structure
corresponding to that object type. The ASN.1 language [5] provides
the primitives used for this purpose. The SMI [1] purposely
restricts the ASN.1 constructs which may be used for simplicity and
ease of implementation.
2.1. Format of Definitions
Section 4 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
"Towards Concise MIB Definitions" [3].
Throop [Page 2]
RFC 1461 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 MIB May 1993
3. Overview
3.1. Scope
Instances of the objects defined below provide management information
for Multiprotocol Interconnect traffic on X.25 as defined in RFC 1356
[9]. That RFC describes how X.25 can be used to exchange IP or
network level protocols. The multiprotocol packets (IP, CLNP, ES-IS,
or SNAP) are encapsulated in X.25 frames for transmission between
nodes. All nodes that implement RFC 1356 must implement this MIB.
The objects in this MIB apply to the software in the node that
manages X.25 connections and performs the protocol encapsulation. A
node in this usage maybe the end node source or destination host for
the packet, or it may be a router or bridge responsible for
forwarding the packet. Since RFC 1356 requires X.25, nodes that
implement RFC 1356 must also implement the X.25 MIB, RFC 1382.
This MIB only applies to Multiprotocol Interconnect over X.25
service. It does not apply to other software that may also use X.25
(for example PAD). Thus the presence, absence, or operation of such
software will not directly affect any of these objects. (However
connections in use by that software will appear in the X.25 MIB).
3.2. Structure of MIB objects
The objects of this MIB are organized into three tables: the
mioxPleTable, the mioxPeerTable, and the mioxPeerEncTable. All
objects in all tables are mandatory for conformance with this MIB.
The mioxPleTable defines information relative to an interface used to
carry Multiprotocol Interconnect traffic over X.25. Such interfaces
are identified by an ifType object in the Internet-standard MIB [4]
of ddn-x25 or rfc877-x25. Interfaces of type ddn-x25 have a self
contained algorithm for translating between IP addresses and X.121
addresses. Interfaces of type rfc877-x25 do not have such an
algorithm. Note that not all X.25 Interfaces will be used to carry
Multiprotocol Interconnect traffic. Those interfaces not carrying
such traffic will not have entries in the mioxPleTable. The entries
in the mioxPleTable are only for interfaces that do carry
Multiprotocol Interconnect traffic over X.25. Entries in the
mioxPleTable are indexed by ifIndex to make it easy to find the
mioxPleTable entry for an interface.
The mioxPeerTable contains information needed to contact an X.25 Peer
to exchange packets. This includes information such as the X.121
address of the peer and a pointer to the X.25 call parameters needed
to place the call. The instance identifiers used for the objects in
Throop [Page 3]
RFC 1461 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 MIB May 1993
this table are independent of any interface or other tables defined
outside this MIB. This table contains the ifIndex value of the X.25
interface to use to call a peer.
The mioxPeerEncTable contains information about the encapsulation
type used to communicate with a peer. This table is an extension of
the mioxPeerTable in its instance identification. Each entry in the
mioxPeerTable may have zero or more entries in this table. This
table will not have any entries that do not have correspondent
entries in mioxPeerTable.

SYNTAX INTEGER {

}
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"This reports the status of a peer entry.
A value of valid indicates a normal entry
that is in use by the agent. A value of
underCreation indicates a newly created
entry which isn't yet in use because the
creating management station is still setting
values.
The value of invalid indicates the entry is
no longer in use and the agent is free to
delete the entry at any time. A management
station is also free to use an entry in the
invalid state.
Entries are created by setting a value of
createRequest. Only non-existent or invalid
entries can be set to createRequest. Upon
receiving a valid createRequest, the agent
will create an entry in the underCreation
state. This object can not be set to a
value of underCreation directly, entries can
Throop [Page 12]
RFC 1461 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 MIB May 1993
only be created by setting a value of
createRequest. Entries that exist in other
than the invalid state can not be set to
createRequest.
Entries with a value of underCreation are
not used by the system and the management
station can change the values of other
objects in the table entry. Management
stations should also remember to configure
values in the mioxPeerEncTable with the same
peer index value as this peer entry.
An entry in the underCreation state can be
set to valid or invalid. Entries in the
underCreation state will stay in that state
until 1) the agent times them out, 2) they
are set to valid, 3) they are set to
invalid. If an agent notices an entry has
been in the underCreation state for an
abnormally long time, it may decide the
management station has failed and invalidate
the entry. A prudent agent will understand
that the management station may need to wait
for human input and will allow for that
possibility in its determination of this
abnormally long period.
Once a management station has completed all
fields of an entry, it will set a value of
valid. This causes the entry to be
activated.
Entries in the valid state may also be set
to makeCall or clearCall to make or clear
X.25 calls to the peer. After such a set
request the entry will still be in the valid
state. Setting a value of makeCall causes
the agent to initiate an X.25 call request
to the peer specified by the entry. Setting
a value of clearCall causes the agent to
initiate clearing one X.25 call present to
the peer. Each set request will initiate
another call or clear request (up to the
maximum allowed); this means that management
stations that fail to get a response to a
set request should query to see if a call
was in fact placed or cleared before
Throop [Page 13]
RFC 1461 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 MIB May 1993
retrying the request. Entries not in the
valid state can not be set to makeCall or
clearCall.
The values of makeCall and clearCall provide
for circuit control on devices which perform
Ethernet Bridging using static circuit
assignment without address recognition;
other devices which dynamically place calls
based on destination addresses may reject
such requests.
An agent that (re)creates a new entry
because of a set with createRequest, should
also (re)create a mioxPeerEncTable entry
with a mioxPeerEncIndex of 1, and a
mioxPeerEncType of 204 (hex CC)."

DESCRIPTION
"This table contains the list of

The first index identifies the corresponding

The encapsulation types are ordered in
priority order. For calling a peer, the
first entry (mioxPeerEncIndex of 1) is tried
first. If the call doesn't succeed because
the remote host clears the call due to
incompatible call user data, the next entry
in the list is tried. Each entry is tried
until the list is exhausted.
For answering a call, the encapsulation type
requested by the peer must be found the list
or the call will be refused. If there are
no entries in this table for a peer, all
call requests from the peer will be refused.
Objects in this table can only be set when
