1.  The SNMP Management Framework

   The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
   components:

   o  An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571].

   o  Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
      purpose of management.  The first version of this Structure of
      Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
      16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC 1215
      [RFC1215].  The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD
      58: RFC 2578 [RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and RFC 2580 [RFC2580].

   o  Message protocols for transferring management information.  The
      first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
      described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157].  A second version of the
      SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
      protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901]
      and RFC 1906 [RFC1906].  The third version of the message protocol
      is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906], RFC 2572
      [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].

RFC 3020               MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR          December 2000


   o  Protocol operations for accessing management information.  The
      first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
      described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157].  A second set of protocol
      operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
      [RFC1905].

   o  A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC2573]
      and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
      [RFC2575].

   A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
   can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
   defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.

   This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.  A
   MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
   translations.  The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
   equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
   translation is possible (use of Counter64).  Some machine readable
   information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
   SMIv1 during the translation process.  However, this loss of machine
   readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
   MIB.

2.  Overview

   This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for
   monitoring and controlling the UNI/NNI Multilink Frame Relay
   function.  The agreement on which this MIB is based was defined and
   documented by the Frame Relay Forum in the Frame Relay Forum Document
   FRF.16 [FRF.16].

2.1.  Multilink Frame Relay Background

   Multilink Frame Relay (MFR) for the User-to-Network Interface (UNI)
   and the Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) provides physical
   interface emulation for frame relay devices.  The emulated physical
   interface consists of one or more physical links, called "bundle
   links", aggregated together into a single "bundle" of bandwidth.
   This service provides a frame-based inverse multiplexing function,
   sometimes referred to as an "IMUX".







Pate, et al.                Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 3020               MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR          December 2000


   The bundle provides the same order-preserving service as a physical
   layer for frames sent on a data link connection.  In addition, the
   bundle provides support for all Frame Relay services based on UNI and
   NNI standards.

2.1.1.  Terminology

   Physical Link --    A single physical interface that interconnects
                       two devices in a frame relay network (e.g., DS1,
                       DS0, Bearer channel, refer to FRF.14).

   Bundle --           A grouping of one or more physical links using
                       the formats and procedures of multilink frame
                       relay.  The bundle operates as a logical
                       interface function that emulates a single
                       physical interface to the Q.922 data link layer.

   Bundle Link --      A MFR sub-component that controls operation of
                       one of the bundle's physical links.

2.2.  Structure of the MIB

   The UNI/NNI MFR managed objects consist of two scalar objects and
   three tables.

2.2.1.  mfrBundleMaxNumBundles

   This scalar is used to inform the manager of the maximum number of
   bundles supported by this device.

2.2.2.  mfrBundleNextIndex

   This scalar is used to assist the manager in selecting a value for
   mfrBundleIndex during row creation.  It can also be used to avoid
   race conditions with multiple managers trying to create rows in the
   table (see RFC 2494 [RFC2494] for one such algorithm).

2.2.3.  mfrBundleTable

   This table provides a means to configure and monitor bundles.  It is
   indexed by mfrBundleIndex and contains these columns:

      -  mfrBundleIndex                    Integer32
      -  mfrBundleIfIndex                  InterfaceIndex

      -  mfrBundleTimerAck                 INTEGER
      -  mfrBundleCountMaxRetry            INTEGER
      -  mfrBundleActivationClass          INTEGER
      -  mfrBundleThreshold                Integer32

      -  mfrBundleLinksActive              Integer32
      -  mfrBundleBandwidth                Integer32
      -  mfrBundleFarEndName               SnmpAdminString
      -  mfrBundleResequencingErrors       Counter32

2.2.4.  Bundle-to-ifIndex Mapping Table

   This table provides a means to take an ifIndex and find the
   corresponding mfrBundleIndex.  It is indexed by ifIndex and contains
   these columns:

      -  mfrBundleIfIndexMapping           Integer32

2.2.5.  mfrBundleLinkTable

   This table provides a means to configure and monitor bundle links.
   It is indexed by ifIndex and contains these columns:

2.3.  Relationship With Other MIBS and Tables

2.3.1.  Relationship With Interface Table

2.3.1.1.  Bundle Links

   Each bundle link will appear as an interface in the ifTable.  The
   ifIndex that appears in the ifTable is used for indexing the bundle
   link tables in the UNI-NNI MFR MIB.

2.3.1.2.  Bundles

   Each bundle will appear as an interface in the ifTable.  There will
   be corresponding mfrBundleIndex which may be different than the
   ifIndex of the bundle.

   The reason is best summarized in RFC 2494 [RFC2494], which describes
   frame relay bundle of DS0.  It says:

      This table is not indexed by ifIndex because the manager has to
      choose the index in a createable row and the agent must be allowed
      to select ifIndex values.

   The rows in the ifEntry table are not createable as they do not have
   row status.  RFC 2863 [RFC2863] suggests that the ifIndex should be
   chosen by the agent.  Here is its statement regarding row creation
   and deletion:

      While some interfaces, for example, most physical interfaces,
      cannot be created via network management, other interfaces such as
      logical interfaces sometimes can be.  The ifTable contains only
      generic information about an interface.  Almost all 'create-able'
      interfaces have other, media-specific, information through which



Pate, et al.                Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 3020               MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR          December 2000


      configuration parameters may be supplied prior to creating such an
      interface.  Thus, the ifTable does not itself support the creation
      or deletion of an interface (specifically, it has no RowStatus
      column).  Rather, if a particular interface type supports the
      dynamic creation and/or deletion of an interface of that type,
      then that media-specific MIB should include an appropriate
      RowStatus object (see the ATM LAN-Emulation Client MIB [ATMLANE]
      for an example of a MIB which does this).  Typically, when such a
      RowStatus object is created/deleted, then the conceptual row in
      the ifTable appears/disappears as a by-product, and an ifIndex
      value (chosen by the agent) is stored in an appropriate object in
      the media-specific MIB.

   The ATM LAN-Emulation Client MIB [ATMLANE] uses different indices and
   so does the IMA MIB [ATMIMA].  Looking at the examples we have, and
   the statements from RFC, it seems better to have two indices.  This
   gives the SNMP agent implementor the freedom to manage their ifIndex
   in the way they like.

2.3.1.3.  Mapping Between ifIndex and mfrBundleIndex

   The mfrBundleIfIndexMappingTable is indexed by ifIndex and provides
   the means to map a given ifIndex into the corresponding
   mfrBundleIndex.  The mfrBundleIfIndexMapping object in the
   mfrBundleTable (indexed by mfrBundleIndex) provides the reverse
   mapping of a mfrBundleIndex to the corresponding ifIndex in the
   ifTable.

2.3.1.4.  ifTable Objects

   The bundle configuration and status table.  There is a one-to-one
   correspondence between a bundle and an interface represented in the
   ifTable.

   The following objects of the ifTable have specific meaning for an MFR
   bundle:

      ifAdminStatus  -  the bundle admin status
      ifOperStatus   -  the bundle operational status
      ifSpeed        -  the current bandwidth of the bundle
      ifInUcastPkts  -  the number of frames received on the bundle
      ifOutUcastPkts -  the number of frames transmitted on the bundle
      ifInErrors     -  frame (not fragment) errors
      ifOutErrors    -  frame (not fragment) errors

   The following objects of the ifTable have specific meaning for an MFR
   bundle link:

RFC 3020               MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR          December 2000


      ifAdminStatus  -  the bundle link admin status
      ifOperStatus   -  the bundle link operational status
      ifSpeed        -  the bandwidth of the bundle link interface
      ifInUcastPkts  -  the number of frames received on the bundle link
      ifOutUcastPkts -  the number of frames transmitted on the bundle
                        link
      ifInErrors     -  frame and fragment errors
      ifOutErrors    -  frame and fragment errors

2.3.2.  Relationship With Interface Stack Table

   The bundles and bundle links will appear in the ifStackTable defined
   in RFC 2863 [RFC2863].  Each bundle link will appear a lower layer to
   its owner bundle.  The bundle will appear as a higher layer to the
   bundle links and as a lower layer to a frame relay service or UNI.

2.3.3.  Relationship With Frame Relay DTE MIB

   The bundle will have a one-to-one correspondence with a DLCMI or UNI
   that appear in the DTE MIB tables [RFC2115].

2.3.4.  Relationship With Frame Relay Service MIB

   There is a one-to-one relationship between the MFR bundle and the
   frame relay service logical port defined in RFC1604 [RFC1604].

2.3.5.  Example

   Figure two shows an example of how the various tables are related.
   This example shows two bundles composed of 2 T1s each.  The bundles
   have a mfrBundleIndex of 10 and 20 respectively.

2.4.  Creation Of Bundles and Bundle Links

2.4.1.  Creation Of Bundles

   A new bundle is created by setting a createAndGo(4) value in the
   mfrBundleRowStatus RowStatus object.  Optionally, an agent could also
   support setting a value of createAndWait(5) followed by a set to the
   value active(1).

   When a bundle is created, the agent must create a new interface in
   the ifTable.  The ifIndex for this new interface is used for the
   value of mfrBundleIfIndex.

2.4.2.  Creation Of Bundle Links

   A new bundle link is created by setting a createAndGo(4) value in the
   mfrBundleLinkRowStatus RowStatus object.

   The bundle link is associated with a specific physical interface and
   uses the ifIndex of the physical interface.  The mfrBundleLinkEntry
   row objects may be created after or during creation of the physical
   interface's ifEntry row objects.

   The bundle identified in the object mfrBundleIndex must exist at time
   of bundle link creation.

2.5.  Notifications

   The linkUp and linkDown traps are defined in RFC 2223 [RFC2223].

2.5.1.  Bundle

   The following SNMP traps are defined for MFR bundles.

RFC 3020               MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR          December 2000


2.5.1.1.  linkUp

   This trap is sent when the ifOperStatus of a bundle transitions from
   down to up.  This occurs when a sufficient number of links
   (determined by mfrBundleActivationClass and mfrBundleThreshold) are
   in the operationally up state.

2.5.1.2.  linkDown

   This trap is sent when the ifOperStatus of a bundle transitions from
   up to down.  This occurs when a insufficient number of links
   (determined by mfrBundleActivationClass and mfrBundleThreshold) are
   in the operationally up state.

2.5.2.  Bundle Link

   The following SNMP traps are defined for MFR bundle links.

2.5.2.1.  linkUp

   This trap is sent when a mfrBundleLinkState object transitions to the
   value mfrBundleLinkStateUp.

2.5.2.2.  linkDown

   This trap is sent when a mfrBundleLinkState object transitions from
   the value mfrBundleLinkStateUp.

2.5.2.3.  mfrMibTrapBundleLinkMismatch

   This trap indicates that a bundle link mismatch has been detected.
   The following objects are reported:

   -  mfrBundleNearEndName:          configured name of near end bundle
   -  mfrBundleFarEndName:           previously reported name of far
                                     end bundle
   -  mfrBundleLinkNearEndName:      configured name of near end bundle
   -  mfrBundleLinkFarEndName:       reported name of far end bundle
   -  mfrBundleLinkFarEndBundleName: currently reported name of far
                                     end bundle

   Note that the configured items may have been configured
   automatically.  Note also that the mfrBundleLinkMismatch counter is
   incremented when the trap is sent.

3.  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 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.

6.  Security Considerations

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
   have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.

   No managed objects in this MIB contain sensitive information.

   SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment.  Even if the network
   itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no
   control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and
   GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.

   It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
   features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework.  Specifically, the use
   of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View-
   based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.

   It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
   entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
   configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
   (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
   (change/create/delete) them.
