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.

1. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework presently consists of three
major components. They are:
o the SMI, described in RFC1902 [1] - the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o the MIB-II, STD 17, RFC1213 [2] - the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
o the protocol, STD 15, RFC1157 [3] and/or RFC1905 [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)
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.
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].
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.
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)
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
+-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ +-+

+------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +------+
Basic/Primary Rate Interface
+-------------------------------------------------------+
Mapping of IP interfaces to Called Peers to B Channels
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.

3.3. 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

DESCRIPTION
"The MIB module to describe the
management of ISDN interfaces."
::= { transmission 20 }
-- The ISDN hardware interface (BRI or PRI) is represented
-- by a media specific ifEntry.
--
-- For basic rate lines, the media specifics for the physical interface
-- is defined in the physical interface group of the ISDN MIB.
-- The ifType for physical basic rate interfaces is isdns(75)
-- or isdnu(76), whichever is appropriate.
--
-- For primary rate, the media specifics are defined in the Trunk
-- MIB and the ifType has a value of ds1(18).
-- Each signaling channel is represented by an entry
-- in the isdnSignalingTable.
-- The signaling channel has an ifType value of isdn(63).
-- Each B channel is also represented as an entry
-- in the ifTable. The B channels have an ifType value
-- of ds0(81).
-- This model is used while defining objects and tables
-- for management.
-- The ISDN MIB allows sub-layers. For example, the data transfer
-- over a B channel may take place with PPP encapsulation. While the
-- ISDN MIB describes the D and B channels, a media specific MIB
-- for PPP can be used on a layered basis. This is as per
-- the interfaces MIB.

"The recommended procedure for selecting a new index for
isdnEndpointTable row creation is to GET the value of
this object, and then to SET the object with the same
value. If the SET operation succeeds, the manager can use
this value as an index to create a new row in this table."

the TEI value is selected by the switch. In
case of static(2), a valid TEI value has to be
entered in the isdnEndpointTeiValue object.
The default value for this object depends on the

the detailed format of this information is not
specified and is implementation dependent.
If possible, the agent should implement this information
using the E.164 number format. In this case, the number
must start with '+'. Otherwise, IA5 number digits must
be used."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This trap/inform is sent to the manager under the
following condidions:
- on incoming calls for each call which is rejected for
policy reasons (e.g. unknown neighbor or access
violation)
- on outgoing calls whenever a call attempt is determined
to have ultimately failed. 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."
