The number of network interfaces (regardless of their current state) present on this system. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

A list of interface entries. The number of entries is given by the value of ifNumber. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES TABLESIZE: DEP ifNumber.

An entry containing management information applicable to a particular interface. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES

A unique value, greater than zero, for each interface. It is recommended that values are assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each interface sub-layer must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's network management system to the next re-initialization. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

A textual string containing information about the interface. This string should include the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the version of the interface hardware/software. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

The type of interface. Additional values for ifType are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), through updating the syntax of the IANAifType textual convention. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

The size of the largest packet which can be sent/received on the interface, specified in octets. For interfaces that are used for transmitting network datagrams, this is the size of the largest network datagram that can be sent on the interface. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: octets

An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. If the bandwidth of the interface is greater than the maximum value reportable by this object then this object should report its maximum value (4,294,967,295) and ifHighSpeed must be used to report the interace's speed. For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, this object should be zero. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: bits/second

The interface's address at its protocol sub-layer. The interface's media-specific MIB must define the bit and byte ordering and format of the value contained by this object. For interfaces which do not have such an address (e.g., a serial line), this object should contain an octet string of zero length. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

The desired state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with ifAdminStatus in the down(2) state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, ifAdminStatus is then changed to either the up(1) or testing(3) states (or remains in the down(2) state). ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: YES RANGE: 'testing' not supported PERSIST: YES DEFVALUE: down UNITS: - Enumeration: 'down': 2, 'testing': 3, 'up': 1.

The current operational state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If ifAdminStatus is down(2) then ifOperStatus should be down(2). If ifAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then ifOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to dormant(5) if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incomming connection); it should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents if from going to the up(1) state. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: 'unknown', 'dormant' not supported PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: - Enumeration: 'down': 2, 'unknown': 4, 'testing': 3, 'up': 1, 'dormant': 5.

The value of sysUpTime at the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last re-initialization of the local network management subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.

A reference to MIB definitions specific to the particular media being used to realize the interface. It is recommended that this value point to an instance of a MIB object in the media-specific MIB, i.e., that this object have the semantics associated with the InstancePointer textual convention defined in RFC 1443. In fact, it is recommended that the media- specific MIB specify what value ifSpecific should/can take for values of ifType. If no MIB definitions specific to the particular media are available, the value should be set to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER { 0 0 }.

A list of interface entries. The number of entries is given by the value of ifNumber. This table contains additional objects for the interface table. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES TABLESIZE: DEP ifNumber.

An entry containing additional management information applicable to a particular interface. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES

The textual name of the interface. The value of this object should be the name of the interface as assigned by the local device and should be suitable for use in commands entered at the device's `console'. This might be a text name, such as `le0' or a simple port number, such as `1', depending on the interface naming syntax of the device. If several entries in the ifTable together represent a single interface as named by the device, then each will have the same value of ifName. If there is no local name, or this object is otherwise not applicable, then this object contains a 0-length string.

Indicates whether linkUp/linkDown traps should be generated for this interface. By default, this object should have the value enabled(1) for interfaces which do not operate on 'top' of any other interface (as defined in the ifStackTable), and disabled(2) otherwise. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: YES RANGE: See above PERSIST: YES DEFVALUE: See above UNITS: - Enumeration: 'disabled': 2, 'enabled': 1.

An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in units of 1,000,000 bits per second. If this object reports a value of `n' then the speed of the interface is somewhere in the range of `n-500,000' to `n+499,999'. For interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, this object should be zero. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: Mbit/second

This object has a value of false(2) if this interface only accepts packets/frames that are addressed to this station. This object has a value of true(1) when the station accepts all packets/frames transmitted on the media. The value true(1) is only legal on certain types of media. If legal, setting this object to a value of true(1) may require the interface to be reset before becoming effective. The value of ifPromiscuousMode does not affect the reception of broadcast and multicast packets/frames by the interface. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NO RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

This object has the value 'true(1)' if the interface sublayer has a physical connector and the value 'false(2)' otherwise. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

This object is an 'alias' name for the interface as specified by a network manager, and provides a non- volatile 'handle' for the interface. On the first instantiation of an interface, the value of ifAlias associated with that interface is the zero-length string. As and when a value is written into an instance of ifAlias through a network management set operation, then the agent must retain the supplied value in the ifAlias instance associated with the same interface for as long as that interface remains instantiated, including across all re- initializations/reboots of the network management system, including those which result in a change of the interface's ifIndex value. An example of the value which a network manager might store in this object for a WAN interface is the (Telco's) circuit number/identifier of the interface. Some agents may support write-access only for interfaces having particular values of ifType. An agent which supports write access to this object is required to keep the value in non-volatile storage, but it may limit the length of new values depending on how much storage is already occupied by the current values for other interfaces.

The value of sysUpTime on the most recent occasion at which any one or more of this interface's counters suffered a discontinuity. The relevant counters are the specific instances associated with this interface of any Counter32 or Counter64 object contained in the ifTable or ifXTable. If no such discontinuities have occurred since the last re-initialization of the local management subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.

The table containing information on the relationships between the multiple sub-layers of network interfaces. In particular, it contains information on which sub-layers run 'on top of' which other sub-layers. Each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES TABLESIZE: DEP.

Information on a particular relationship between two sub-layers, specifying that one sub-layer runs on 'top' of the other sub-layer. Each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES

The value of ifIndex corresponding to the higher sub-layer of the relationship, i.e., the sub-layer which runs on 'top' of the sub-layer identified by the corresponding instance of ifStackLowerLayer. If there is no higher sub-layer (below the internetwork layer), then this object has the value 0. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

The value of ifIndex corresponding to the lower sub- layer of the relationship, i.e., the sub-layer which runs 'below' the sub-layer identified by the corresponding instance of ifStackHigherLayer. If there is no lower sub-layer, then this object has the value 0. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

The status of the relationship between two sub-layers. Changing the value of this object from 'active' to 'notInService' or 'destroy' will likely have consequences up and down the interface stack. Thus, write access to this object is likely to be inappropriate for some types of interfaces, and many implementations will choose not to support write- access for any type of interface. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: NA RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

This table contains one entry per interface. It defines objects which allow a network manager to instruct an agent to test an interface for various faults. Tests for an interface are defined in the media-specific MIB for that interface. After invoking a test, the object ifTestResult can be read to determine the outcome. If an agent can not perform the test, ifTestResult is set to so indicate. The object ifTestCode can be used to provide further test-specific or interface-specific (or even enterprise-specific) information concerning the outcome of the test. Only one test can be in progress on each interface at any one time. If one test is in progress when another test is invoked, the second test is rejected. Some agents may reject a test when a prior test is active on another interface. Before starting a test, a manager-station must first obtain 'ownership' of the entry in the ifTestTable for the interface to be tested. This is accomplished with the ifTestId and ifTestStatus objects as follows: try_again: get (ifTestId, ifTestStatus) while (ifTestStatus != notInUse) /* * Loop while a test is running or some other * manager is configuring a test. */ short delay get (ifTestId, ifTestStatus) } /* * Is not being used right now -- let's compete * to see who gets it. */ lock_value = ifTestId if ( set(ifTestId = lock_value, ifTestStatus = inUse, ifTestOwner = 'my-IP-address') == FAILURE) /* * Another manager got the ifTestEntry -- go * try again */ goto try_again; /* * I have the lock */ set up any test parameters. /* * This starts the test */ set(ifTestType = test_to_run); wait for test completion by polling ifTestResult when test completes, agent sets ifTestResult agent also sets ifTestStatus = 'notInUse' retrieve any additional test results, and ifTestId if (ifTestId == lock_value+1) results are valid A manager station first retrieves the value of the appropriate ifTestId and ifTestStatus objects, periodically repeating the retrieval if necessary, until the value of ifTestStatus is 'notInUse'. The manager station then tries to set the same ifTestId object to the value it just retrieved, the same ifTestStatus object to 'inUse', and the corresponding ifTestOwner object to a value indicating itself. If the set operation succeeds then the manager has obtained ownership of the ifTestEntry, and the value of the ifTestId object is incremented by the agent (per the semantics of TestAndIncr). Failure of the set operation indicates that some other manager has obtained ownership of the ifTestEntry. Once ownership is obtained, any test parameters can be setup, and then the test is initiated by setting ifTestType. On completion of the test, the agent sets ifTestStatus to 'notInUse'. Once this occurs, the manager can retrieve the results. In the (rare) event that the invocation of tests by two network managers were to overlap, then there would be a possibility that the first test's results might be overwritten by the second test's results prior to the first results being read. This unlikely circumstance can be detected by a network manager retrieving ifTestId at the same time as retrieving the test results, and ensuring that the results are for the desired request. If ifTestType is not set within an abnormally long period of time after ownership is obtained, the agent should time-out the manager, and reset the value of the ifTestStatus object back to 'notInUse'. It is suggested that this time-out period be 5 minutes. In general, a management station must not retransmit a request to invoke a test for which it does not receive a response; instead, it properly inspects an agent's MIB to determine if the invocation was successful. Only if the invocation was unsuccessful, is the invocation request retransmitted. Some tests may require the interface to be taken off- line in order to execute them, or may even require the agent to reboot after completion of the test. In these circumstances, communication with the management station invoking the test may be lost until after completion of the test. An agent is not required to support such tests. However, if such tests are supported, then the agent should make every effort to transmit a response to the request which invoked the test prior to losing communication. When the agent is restored to normal service, the results of the test are properly made available in the appropriate objects. Note that this requires that the ifIndex value assigned to an interface must be unchanged even if the test causes a reboot. An agent must reject any test for which it cannot, perhaps due to resource constraints, make available at least the minimum amount of information after that test completes.

This object indicates whether or not some manager currently has the necessary 'ownership' required to invoke a test on this interface. A write to this object is only successful when it changes its value from 'notInUse(1)' to 'inUse(2)'. After completion of a test, the agent resets the value back to 'notInUse(1)'. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: YES RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: - Enumeration: 'inUse': 2, 'notInUse': 1.

A control variable used to start and stop operator- initiated interface tests. Most OBJECT IDENTIFIER values assigned to tests are defined elsewhere, in association with specific types of interface. However, this document assigns a value for a full- duplex loopback test, and defines the special meanings of the subject identifier: noTest OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 0 0 } When the value noTest is written to this object, no action is taken unless a test is in progress, in which case the test is aborted. Writing any other value to this object is only valid when no test is currently in progress, in which case the indicated test is initiated. When read, this object always returns the most recent value that ifTestType was set to. If it has not been set since the last initialization of the network management subsystem on the agent, a value of noTest is returned. ALCATEL NOTE: SUPPORT: YES INSRVMOD: YES RANGE: See above PERSIST: NO DEFVALUE: NA UNITS: -

This object contains the result of the most recently requested test, or the value none(1) if no tests have been requested since the last reset.
