Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are
working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), its Areas, and its Working Groups. Note that other
groups may also distribute working documents as Internet
Drafts.
Internet Drafts are valid for a maximum of six months and may
be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as a "work in progress".
Internet Draft Source Routing Bridge MIB June 1993
1. Introduction
This memo defines an experimental 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 source routing bridges.
The MIB was originally published in RFC 1286 section 4.1.3 as
"The dot1dSr Group." IEEE 802.5 revised its addendum to RFC
802.1(d) several times since the original MIB was published,
and in the process also changed its MIB. For procedural
reasons, the group was split apart from the main MIB, allowing
the major portion of the Bridge MIB to advance in the
standards process largely unchanged, while the Source Routing
Group iterated at the Proposed Standard step. Implementors
are advised to consider the two documents together.

2. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of
three components. They are:
o RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of
management. RFC 1212 defines a more concise description
mechanism, which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
o RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
for the Internet suite of protocols.
o 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.
2.1. 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
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.

Internet Draft Source Routing Bridge MIB June 1993
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 IEEE 802.1d MAC Bridge
specification [11]. Source route bridging has been defined by
I.B.M. and is described in the Token Ring Architecture
Reference[12], as well as the IEEE 802.5M SRT Bridge
Operations Addendum [14] to 802.1d. This memo defines objects
needed for management of a source routing bridge, and is an
extension to the SNMP Bridge MIB [7].
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] and IEEE
802.5M [14] management object name is also included.

Internet Draft Source Routing Bridge MIB June 1993
3.1.1. 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.
3.1.2. The dot1dPortPair Group
Implementation of this group is optional. This group is
implemented by those bridges that support the port-pair
multiport model of the source route bridging mode as defined
in the IEEE 802.5M SRT Addendum to 802.1d.
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 Bridge MIB and the
'system' group and the 'interfaces' group defined in MIB-II
[6].
3.2.1. Relationship to the Bridge MIB
The Bridge MIB [7] must be implemented by all bridges,
including transparent, SR and SRT bridges. The SR bridge MIB
is an extension to the Bridge MIB.
3.2.2. 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 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.
Decker/McCloghrie/Langille/Rijsinghani [Page 6]
Internet Draft Source Routing Bridge MIB June 1993
3.2.3. 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.
Implicit in this 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.
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 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.

4. Changes from RFC 1286
In addition to being separated from the Bridge MIB into a
separate document, the following changes were implemented as a
result of feedback from IEEE 802.5M:
(1) Changed syntax of dot1dSrPortLargestFrame to INTEGER in
order to allow for having 64 possible values as described
in draft 7 of the SR Addendum. Listed all legal values
in description.
(2) Updated syntax of dot1dSrPort, used to index into
dot1dSrPortTable, to use the range (1..65535).
(3) Added a counter to dot1dSrPortTable to count occurences
of duplicate LAN IDs or Tree errors.
(4) Added a counter to dot1dSrPortTable to count LAN ID
mismatches.
(5) Added text to dot1dSrPortSpecInFrames and
dot1dSrPortSpecOutFrames clarifying that they are also
referred to as Source Routed Frames.
(6) Added text to dot1dSrPortApeInFrames and
dot1dSrPortApeOutFrames clarifying that they are also
referred to as All Routes Explorer frames.
(7) Added a scalar variable to the dot1dSr group to indicate
whether the bridge uses 3 bit or 6 bit length ngotiation
fields.
(8) Added dot1dPortPairGroup to allow representation of port
pairs as defined in the IEEE 802.5M SRT Addendum.

Spanning Tree for this class of packet to be
configured. Note that unlike transparent bridging
this is not catastrophic to the network if there
are loops. The value 'auto-span(1)' can only be
returned by a bridge that both implements the
Spanning Tree Protocol and has use of the protocol
enabled on this port. The behavior of the port for
Spanning Tree Explorer frames is determined by the
state of dot1dStpPortState. If the port is in the
'forwarding' state, the frame will be accepted or
propagated. Otherwise it will be silently
discarded."
