ISDN Management Information Base 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 memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a minimal set of managed objects for SNMP-
based management of ISDN terminal interfaces. ISDN interfaces are
supported on a variety of equipment (for data and voice) including
terminal adapters, bridges, hosts, and routers.
This document specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant to
the SNMPv2 SMI. The set of objects is consistent with the SNMP
framework and existing SNMP standards.
This document is a product of the ISDN MIB working group within the
Internet Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and should
be addressed to the working group's mailing list at isdn-
mib@cisco.com and/or the author.
The current version of this document reflects changes made during the
last call period and the IESG review.

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework presently consists of three major components. They are: o the SMI, described in RFC 1902 [1] - the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] - the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols. o the protocol, STD 15, RFC 1157 [3] and/or RFC 1905 [4], - the protocol for accessing managed objects. The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. 2. 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) Roeck Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 defined in the SMI. In particular, each 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. 3. Overview 3.1. Structure of the MIB For managing ISDN interfaces, the following information is necessary: o Information for managing physical interfaces. In case of ISDN primary rate, this are usually T1 or E1 lines, being managed in the DS1/E1 MIB [12]. For Basic Rate lines, physical interfaces are managed by this MIB. o Information for managing B channels. o Information for managing signaling channels. o Optionally, information for managing Terminal Endpoints (TE). A Terminal Endpoint is a link layer connection to a switch. o Optionally, information for managing a list of directory numbers. In order to manage connections over ISDN lines, the management of peer information and call history information is required as well. This information is defined in the Dial Control MIB [15]. The purpose for splitting the required information in two MIBs is to be able to use parts of this information for non-ISDN interfaces as well. In particular, the Dial Control MIB might also be used for other types of interfaces, e.g. modems or X.25 virtual connections. Within this document, information has been structured into five groups, which are described in the following chapters. 3.1.1. General Description This MIB controls all aspects of ISDN interfaces. It consists of five groups. o The isdnMibBasicRateGroup is used to provide information regarding physical Basic Rate interfaces. o The isdnMibBearerGroup is used to control B (bearer) channels. Roeck Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 It supports configuration parameters as well as statistical information related to B channels. o The isdnMibSignalingGroup is used to control D (delta) channels. There are three tables in this group. The isdnSignalingTable and isdnSignalingStatsTable support ISDN Network Layer configuration and statistics. The isdnLapdTable supports ISDN Data Link Layer (LAPD) configuration and statistics. o The optional isdnMibEndpointGroup can be used to specify Terminal Endpoints. It is required only if there are non-ISDN endpoints defined for a given D channel, or if additional information like Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) values or Service Profile IDentifiers (SPID) is required to identify a given ISDN user. o The optional isdnMibDirectoryGroup can be used to specify a list of directory numbers for each signaling channel. It is required only if the directory numbers to be accepted differ from the isdnSignalingCallingAddress as specified in the isdnSignalingTable. 3.2. Relationship to the Interfaces MIB This section clarifies the relationship of this MIB to the Interfaces MIB [11]. Several areas of correlation are addressed in the following subsections. The implementor is referred to the Interfaces MIB document in order to understand the general intent of these areas. 3.2.1. Layering Model An ISDN interface usually consists of a D channel and a number of B channels, all of which are layered on top of a physical interface. Furthermore, there are multiple interface layers for each D channel. There are Data Link Layer (LAPD) as well as Network Layer entities. This is accomplished in this MIB by creating a logical interface (ifEntry) for each of the D channel entities and a logical interface (ifEntry) for each of the B channels. These are then correlated to each other and to the physical interface using the ifStack table of the Interfaces MIB [11]. Roeck Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 The basic model, therefore, looks something like this: | | +--+ +--+ | D ch. | |Layer 3| +--+ +--+ | | | | | | <== interface to upper +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ layers, to be provided | D ch. | | B | | B | by ifStack table |Layer 2| |channel| .... |channel| +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ | | | | | | <== attachment to physical +--+ +--------+ +------------+ +----+ interfaces, to be provided | physical interface | by ifStack table | (S/T, U or T1/E1) | +-----------------------------------+ Mapping of B/D channels to physical interfaces Each D channel can support multiple Terminal Endpoints. Terminal Endpoints can either be one or multiple ISDN signaling channels, or channels supporting X.25 based packet mode services. To accomplish this, there can be multiple Network Layer entities on top of each ISDN Data Link Layer (LAPD) interface. The detailed model therefore looks something like this, including interface types as examples: +------+ +----+ +----+ |x25ple| |isdn| |isdn| Terminal Endpoints (X.25 or ISDN) +--+---+ +-+--+ +-+--+ | | | | +------+ | | | <== Interface to upper layers, | | +------------+ | | to be provided by ifStack | | | | | table ++-+-++ +-+-+ +-+-+ |lapd | D channel |ds0| |ds0| B channels +--+--+ Data Link Layer +-+-+ +-+-+ | | | +--+----------------------+------+--------------------+ | ds1 or isdns/isdnu | +-----------------------------------------------------+ Detailed interface mapping IfEntries are maintained for each D channel Network Layer entity (Terminal Endpoint), for LAPD and for each B channel. Roeck Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 The ifType for a Terminal Endpoint can be isdn(63) for ISDN signaling channels or x25ple(40) for X.25 based packet mode services. The ifType for D channel Data Link Layer (LAPD) interfaces is lapd(77). The ifType for B channels is ds0(81). The ifType for physical interfaces is the matching IANA ifType, usually ds1(18) for Primary Rate interfaces or isdns(75)/isdnu(76) for Basic Rate interfaces. The ifStackTable is used to map B channels and LAPD interfaces to physical interfaces and to map D channel Network Layer interfaces (Terminal Endpoints) to LAPD. In the example given above, the assignment of index values could for example be as follows: ifIndex ifType ISDN MIB tables Description indexed by ifIndex 1 isdns(75) isdnBasicRateTable Basic Rate physical interface 2 lapd(77) isdnLapdTable LAPD interface 3 x25ple(40) isdnEndpointTable X.25 Packet Layer 4 isdn(63) isdnSignalingTable ISDN signaling channel #1 isdnEndpointTable 5 isdn(63) isdnSignalingTable ISDN signaling channel #2 isdnEndpointTable 6 ds0(81) isdnBearerTable B channel #1 7 ds0(81) isdnBearerTable B channel #2 8 ppp(23) peer entry #1 (see below) 9 ppp(23) peer entry #2 (see below) Roeck Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 The corresponding ifStack table entries would then be: ifStackTable Entries HigherLayer LowerLayer 0 3 0 4 0 5 0 8 0 9 1 0 2 1 3 2 4 2 5 2 6 1 7 1 8 6 9 7 Mapping of B channels to upper interface layers is usually done using the Dial Control MIB. For example, mapping on top of B channels might look as follows: +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Network Layer Protocol | +------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +------+ | | | | | | | | | | <== appears active +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ | PPP | | PPP | | F/R | | PPP | | F/R | | for | | for | | for | | for | | for | ifEntry with |Peer1| |Peer2| |switch |Peer3| |switch shadow PeerEntry | | | | | A | | | | B | +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ | | | | <== some actually are +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ | B | | B | | B | | B | | B | |channel| |channel| |channel| |channel| |channel| +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ +--+ | | | | | | | | | | +------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +------+ | Basic/Primary Rate Interface | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Mapping of IP interfaces to Called Peers to B Channels Roeck Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 In this model, ifEntries are maintained for each peer. Each peer is required to have an associated ifEntry. This interface can be of any kind, e.g. PPP or LAPB. The Dial Control MIB can be used for all types of demand-access interfaces, e.g., ISDN, modems or X.25 virtual connections. 3.2.2. ifTestTable The ifTestTable is not supported by this MIB. 3.2.3. ifRcvAddressTable The ifRcvAddressTable is not supported by this MIB. 3.2.4. ifEntry 3.2.4.1. ifEntry for a Basic Rate hardware interface The ifGeneralGroup is supported for Basic Rate hardware interfaces. ifTable Comments ============== =========================================== ifIndex Each ISDN Basic Rate hardware interface is represented by an ifEntry. ifDescr Textual port description. ifType The IANA value of isdns(75) or isdnu(76), whichever is appropriate. ifSpeed The overall bandwidth of this interface. ifPhysAddress Return an empty string. ifAdminStatus The administrative status of the ISDN interface. ifOperStatus The current operational status of this interface.

Relationship to other MIBs 3.3.1. Relationship to the DS1/E1 MIB Implementation of the DS1/E1 MIB [12] is not required for supporting this MIB. It is however recommended to implement the DS1/E1 MIB on entities supporting Primary Rate interfaces. 3.3.2. Relationship to the DS0 and DS0Bundle MIBs Implementation of the DS0 MIB [13] is optional. Implementation of the DS0Bundle MIB [13] may be required only if hyperchannels are to be supported, depending on the multiplexing scheme used in a given implementation. See chapter 3.4.2 for details on how to implement hyperchannels. 3.3.3. Relationship to the Dial Control MIB Implementation of the Dial Control MIB [15] is required. 3.4. ISDN interface specific information and implementation hints 3.4.1. ISDN leased lines ISDN leased lines can be specified on a per-B-channel basis. To do so, the value of isdnBearerChannelType has to be set to leased(2). There is no signaling protocol support for leased line B channels, since there is no signaling protocol action for these kinds of interfaces. Roeck Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 If there is no signaling support available for an ISDN interface, this must be specified in the appropriate interface specific table. For Basic Rate interfaces, isdnBasicRateSignalMode of isdnBasicRateTable must be set to inactive(2). For Primary Rate interfaces, dsx1SignalMode of dsx1ConfigTable in DS1/E1 MIB [12] must be set to none(1). There are no isdnLapdTable or isdnSignalingTable entries for such interfaces. Depending on the leased line type and the service provider, the D channel can be used for data transfer. If this is the case the D channel interface type is ds0(81) instead of lapd(77) and its usage is identical to B channel usage if there is no signaling channel available. For a Primary Rate interface which is entirely used as a leased line, there is no ISDN specific information available or required. Such leased lines can entirely be handled by the DS1/E1 MIB. 3.4.2. Hyperchannels The active switch protocol defines if hyperchannels are supported, and the actual support is implementation dependent. Hyperchannel connections will be requested by the interface user at call setup time, e.g. by the peer connection handling procedures. In the ISDN MIB, the isdnBearerMultirate object of isdnBearerTable can be used to check if hyperchannels are being used for an active call. If hyperchannels are being used, multiplexing between the encapsulation layer and the B channels is required, since there is one encapsulation layer interface connected to several B channel interfaces. This can be accomplished in two ways. o The DS0Bundle MIB [13] can be used to provide the multiplexing. See the DS0Bundle MIB document for details. o The ifStackTable can be used to provide the multiplexing. In this case, there are several ifStackTable entries with the same value of HigherLayer, and different values of LowerLayer. It is up to the implementor to decide which multiplexing scheme to use. Each hyperchannel call is treated as one call in the isdnSignalingStatsTable, independent of the number of B channels involved. Roeck Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 For a hyperchannel call, all objects in the isdnBearerTable entries related to this call (i.e., all isdnBearerTable entries associated to B channels used by the hyperchannel) have identical values. The related objects in the isdnBearerTable are: isdnBearerPeerAddress isdnBearerPeerSubAddress isdnBearerCallOrigin isdnBearerInfoType isdnBearerMultirate isdnBearerCallSetupTime isdnBearerCallConnectTime isdnBearerChargedUnits 3.4.3. D channel backup and NFAS trunks D channel backup is defined in Q.931 [8], Annex F. It describes Non- Associated signaling and its use and functionality is basically identical to Non Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) trunks. Non Facility Accociated Signaling (NFAS) basically means that a D channel on a PRI interface is used to manage calls on other PRI trunks. This is required in North America for H11 channels, since all 24 time slots are being used for B channels. According to Q.931, Annex F, the D channel backup feature can be provided on a subscription basis and is network dependent. The D channel backup procedure is described in detail in Q.931. For D channel backup, the controlling isdnSignalingTable entry is layered on top of all attached LAPD interfaces. This layering is done using the ifStack table. There is only one active LAPD interface, however. Inactive LAPD interfaces have an ifOperStatus of dormant(5). NFAS trunks are also handled using the ifStack table. In this case, a signaling channel is layered on top of a LAPD interface as well as on top of all physical interfaces which are controlled by the signaling channel, but do not supply a D channel. 3.4.4. X.25 based packet-mode service in B and D channels X.25 based packet mode service over B channels can be handled using the Dial Control MIB by creating an appropriate peer entry. The peer entry ifType can then be x25(5), thus providing access to X.25 service. Roeck Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 X.25 based packet mode service over D channels can be handled by creating an ifEndpointTable entry with an isdnEndpointIfType of x25ple(40). The upper protocol layers can then be attached to this interface using the ifStack table. 3.4.5. SPID handling Service Profile IDentifiers (SPIDs) are defined for BRI interfaces only, and being used in North America. SPIDs are required for DMS- 100, NI-1 and NI-2, and are optional for 5ESS. A switch can define up to 8 SPIDs per BRI. Each Terminal Endpoint has a SPID assigned. It is normally built from the party number (calling address for outgoing calls) with a number of digits prepended and appended. Since each network appears to be different, both the calling address and the SPID have to be stored. The SPID identifies the particular services that have been provisioned for a terminal. If there are two B channels on a BRI, there can be two SPIDs, one for each of the two B channels. There can also be a single SPID, providing access to both B channels. The SPID gets registered with the switch after link establishment. There is one data link for each SPID. As part of terminal registration, an EID (Endpoint IDentifier) is defined by the switch. On incoming calls, the switch may provide the EID, a called party number, or both, depending on the ISDN code implemented in the switch. The EID has two bytes: USID (User Service IDentifier) and TID (Terminal IDentifier). These are later used by some of the software versions running on the switch side (e.g. compliant with NI-1, 5ESS custom) to broadcast SETUP messages with these included, so the correct endpoint would accept the call. Other switch software versions identify the endpoint with the Called Party Number. In the ISDN MIB, the SPID can be entered using the isdnEndpointSpid object of isdnEndpointTable. The isdnSignalingCallingAddress, already being used to specify the calling number, cannot be used to record the SPID since the values of the SPID and the Calling Address may differ and both may be required to be present. 3.4.6. Closed User Groups Closed User Groups (CUG), as defined in I.255.1 [14], are supported for circuit mode calls by ETSI (ETS 300 138) and 1TR6. In these networks, an ISDN address can have one or more Closed User Groups Roeck Standards Track [Page 17]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 assigned. If there is more than one Closed User Group assigned to a given address, one of those is the preferred Closed User Group. For such addresses, only calls from assigned Closed User Groups are accepted by the network. Thus, Closed User Groups are a parameter for peer entries and are defined in the Dial Control MIB. A peer entry attached to a Closed User Group has to point to an ISDN interface which is attached to the Closed User Group in question. 3.4.7. Provision of point-to-point line topology In the ISDN standards, there are two different meanings for the term "point-to-point". In ISDN standards, the term point-to-point are usually used for data link connections, i.e. layer 2 connections, where each layer 2 connection from the TE to the network is a single point-to-point connection. Multiple connections of this kind may exist on one physical (layer 1) connection, however, and in case of Basic Rate interfaces there may be several TE's connected to one physical line to the network. The second meaning of "point-to-point" refers to the line topology, i.e. to layer 1 connections. For Primary Rate interfaces, the line topology is always point-to-point. For Basic Rate interfaces, layer 1 point-to- point connections do exist in several countries, usually being used for connecting PBX systems to the network. The second meaning (layer 1 connections) is what will be referred to as "point-to-point" connection throughout this document. For Basic Rate interfaces, the isdnBasicRateTable object isdnBasicRateLineTopology can be used to select the line topology. 3.4.8. Speech and audio bearer capability information elements The objects speech(2), audio31(6) and audio7(7), as being used in isdnBearerInfoType, refer to the Speech, 3.1 kHz Audio and old 7 kHz Audio (now Multi-use) bearer capabilities for ISDN, as defined in Q.931 [8], chapter 4.5.5, octet 3 of bearer capability information element. These capabilities are signaling artifices that allow networks to do certain things with the call. It is up to the network to decide what to do. Roeck Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 The Speech Bearer Capability means that speech is being carried over the channel, as in two people talking. This would be POTS-type speech. The network may compress this, encrypt it or whatever it wants with it as long as it delivers POTS quality speech to the other end. In other words, a modem is not guaranteed to work over this connection. The 3.1 kHz Audio capability indicates that the network carries the 3.1 kHz bandwidth across the network. This would (theoretically) allow modem signals to be carried across the network. In the US, the network automatically enters a capability of 3.1 kHz Audio on calls coming into the ISDN from a POTS network. This capability restricts the network from interfering with the data channel in a way that would corrupt the 3.1 kHz VoiceBand data. 7 kHz Audio was meant to signal the use of a higher quality audio connection (e.g., music from radio). It was changed to Multi-Use capability to allow it to be used for video-conferencing with fall back to audio. In some cases, the Speech or 3.1 kHz Bearer Capability provides a 56 kbit/s data path through the network. Therefore, some people are setting up calls with the Speech or 3.1 kHz BC and transmitting 56 kbit/s data over the connection. This is usually to take advantage of favorable tariffs for Speech as opposed to Data. On the incoming side, the equipment is usually configured to ignore the Bearer Capability and either answer all Speech calls as 56 kbit/s data or to use one Directory Number for real speech and another for data. 3.4.9. Attaching incoming calls to router ports In ISDN, there are several ways to identify an incoming call and to attach a router port to this call. o The call can be identified and attached to a router port using the ISDN Calling Address, that is, the peer ISDN address. Since the peer address is defined in a Dial Control MIB configuration entry for this peer, this would be the most natural way to attach an incoming call to a router port. In this configuration, only a single isdnSignalingTable entry is required for each physical ISDN interface. Unfortunately, the ISDN Calling Address is not available in all countries and/or switch protocols. Therefore, other means for attaching incoming calls to router ports must be provided. Roeck Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 2127 ISDN MIB March 1997 o The call can also be identified and attached to a router port using the ISDN Called Address. In this case, a distinct ISDN address or subaddress must be specified for each of the router ports. This can be accomplished in the ISDN MIB by creating a isdnSignalingTable entry for each of the router ports, and by connecting Dial Control MIB peer entries to the thereby created interface using the dialCtlPeerCfgLowerIf object of dialCtlPeerCfgTable. If this type of router port identification is used in an implementation, it is up to the implementor to decide if there should be distinct TEI values assigned for each of the isdnSignalingTable entries. For this reason, the isdnEndpointTable permits specifying the same TEI value in multiple entries. It is recommended to use dynamic TEI assignment whenever possible. The implementor should be aware that this type of configuration requires a lot of configuration work for the customer, since an entry in isdnSignalingTable must be created for each of the router ports. o Incoming calls can also be identified and attached to router ports using a higher layer functionality, such as PPP authentication. Defining this functionality is outside the scope of this document. 3.4.10. Usage of isdnMibDirectoryGroup and isdnDirectoryTable In some switch protocol or PBX implementations, the Called Number Information Element on incoming calls can differ from the Calling Number on outgoing calls. Sometimes, the Called Number can be different for incoming Local Calls, Long Distance Calls and International Calls. For Hunt Groups, the Called Number can be any of the numbers in the Hunt Group. The isdnDirectoryTable can be used to specify all these numbers. Entries in the isdnDirectoryTable are always connected to specific isdnSignalingTable entries. No ifEntry is created for isdnDirectoryTable entries. Therefore, the isdnDirectoryTable can not be used to attach incoming calls to router ports. For router port identification, isdnSignalingTable entries should be created instead. Roeck Standards Track [Page 20]

In the event that call retry is active, then this will be after all retry attempts have failed. - whenever a call connects. In this case, the object isdnBearerCallConnectTime should be included in the trap. Only one such trap is sent in between successful or unsuccessful call attempts from or to a single neighbor; subsequent call attempts result in no trap. If the Dial Control MIB objects dialCtlNbrCfgId and dialCtlNbrCfgIndex are known by the entity generating this trap, both objects should be included in the trap as well. The receipt of this trap with no dial neighbor information indicates that the manager must poll the callHistoryTable of the Dial Control MIB to see what changed." ::= { isdnMibTraps 1 } -- -- conformance information -- isdnMibConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { isdnMib 2 } isdnMibCompliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { isdnMibConformance 1 } isdnMibGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { isdnMibConformance 2 } -- compliance statements isdnMibCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE STATUS current Roeck Standards Track [Page 43]
