E. SNMP MIB Objects
E-4
February 2001 3160-A2-GB21-90
System Group sysServices Object (system 7)
This object provides a value which indicates the set of services that are potentially
offered by the DSU/CSU. Only the following values are supported.
physical(1) Layer 1 functionality for all interfaces.
datalink/subnetwork(2) Layer 2 functionality (SLIP, PPP) for the COM, AUX,
and MODEM ports.
internet(4) Layer 3 functionality (IP) for all management links.
end-to-end(8) Layer 4 functionality (UDP) for all management links.
Therefore, set this object to 15 (the sum of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8).
Interface Group, MIB II
The Interfaces Group consists of an object indicating the number of interfaces
supported by the unit and an interface table containing an entry for each interface.
The DSU/CSU provides an entry in the interface table for the network interface, the
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, each of the synchronous data ports (1, 2, or 4
depending on the model), the COM port, the AUX port, and the MODEM port, if
they apply. The following sections provide clarification for objects contained in the
Interface Group where it is not clear how the object definition in MIB II is related to
the DSU/CSU.
Interface Group ifNumber Object (interfaces 1)
This variable contains the maximum number of MIB II supported interfaces
possible across the 31xx Series product line (9). This is different from the MIB
description, which is defined as the number of interfaces on the particular device.
This change allows the use of the same ifIndexes across all 31xx Series models.
Interface Group ifIndex Object (ifEntry 1)
This object provides the index into the ifTable and typically into tables in other
MIBs also. The values of the ifIndex object do not vary between models even
though not all indexes are supported for a particular model. When an unsupported
index is accessed, noSuchName is returned.
The following are the values of the ifIndexes for all DSU/CSU models:
1 Net T1
2 DTE T1
3 COM port
4 Modem port
5 Auxiliary RS-232 port
6 DCE port 1
7 DCE port 2
8 DCE port 3
9 DCE port 4
