1. The SNMP Management

The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five
components

o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].

o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4].
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].

o Message protocols for transferring management information.
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].








Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


o Protocol operations for accessing management information.
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].

o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14]
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].

A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management
can be found in RFC 2570 [16].

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

This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of
MIB

The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, NOT RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL,
they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described
RFC 2119 [23].

This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB)
monitoring and controlling a service interworking function (IWF)
Permanent Virtual Connections (PVC) between Frame Relay
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies. The agreements
which this MIB is based were reached jointly by the Frame Relay
and the ATM Forum and are documented in the Frame Relay
Document FRF.8 [17].








Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


3.1. Frame Relay/ATM Service Interworking

Frame relay to ATM interworking is a function that exchanges
Data Units (PDU) between a frame relay service user and an
service user. Two types of interworking functions are specified
frame relay and ATM permanent virtual connection (PVC) service users
network interworking and service interworking

Network interworking provides PDU forwarding between frame
service users inter-connected by an ATM service. Both endpoints
frame relay PVCs. Frame Relay to ATM PVC Network Interworking
defined in [20].

Service interworking provides PDU forwarding so that the ATM
user performs no frame relaying service-specific functions and
frame relay service user performs no ATM service-specific functions
Optionally, the service IWF translates particular higher
protocols to satisfy the requirements of end-systems. Frame Relay
ATM PVC Service Interworking is defined in [17].

This MIB describes management objects used to provision, monitor,
control a Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF

FRF.8 [17] does not address point-to-multipoint applications of
IWF. Implementations MAY provide support for point-to-
capability using this MIB

Consult FRF.8 [17] for more details on the operation of a
Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF

3.2. Structure of the

The Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF managed objects are organized
follows

(1) FR/ATM PVC Service IWF cross-connect table

(2) Connection description table,

(3) Notification

The IWF cross-connect table contains one or more rows for
inter-worked connection. Each inter-worked connection is
identified by the frAtmIwfConnIndex object. In the case of point-to
point, a single row is present. In the case of point-to-multipoint
one row exists for each multipoint destination. Index objects
the ATM port, VPI, VCI, frame relay port, and frame relay
distinguish the constituent rows used in a point-to-multipoint case



Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


Each inter-worked connection has attributes governing behavior of
IWF. These attributes describe how the IWF should transform a
during the forwarding process and provide rules for

(1) Mapping the ATM CLP bit to frame relay DE

(2) Mapping the ATM congestion notification bit to frame
congestion

(3) Mapping higher protocol encapsulations between ATM and


(4) Performing fragmentation and

(5) Performing ARP translation between ATM and frame

Typically, most connections share the same attributes.
attributes are represented in this MIB by the connection
table. Each row of the connection description table contains
attribute settings common to one or more inter-worked connections
One example would be full mapping and translation. All cross-
table entries that require full mapping and translation services
the frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor object to the index value for
connection description table row that contains objects set to
that provide full mapping and translation services

A notification object provides cross-connect status change alerts

3.3. Relationship to Other

The Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB describes the cross
connections between frame relay and ATM service users. Each
endpoint is provisioned and managed with a technology-specific MIB
described below

Each technology-specific MIB has a table of PVC endpoints (indexed
ifIndex and logical link address such as the DLCI or VPI/VCI).
the absence of interworking, two endpoints are cross-connected via
technology-specific cross connect table (e.g.,
atmVcCrossConnectTable in the ATM MIB). However, a
between a frame relay endpoint and an ATM endpoint requires a cross
connect in the ATM IWF MIB

The following sections describe the relationship between
technology-specific MIBs and the FR/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB






Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


3.3.1. Frame Relay Service

Frame relay PVC endpoints are provisioned as rows in the Frame
Services MIB [19] endpoint table

Each frame relay PVC endpoint is described in the frPVCEndptTable.
connection between two frame relay endpoints is described by an
in the frame relay PVC cross-connect table frPVCConnectTable.
frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier object of each endpoint points to
frPVCConnectTable cross-connect table row for the connection

In the case of an inter-worked connection,
frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier object is set to zero. Instead,
frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex object is set to the index of the FR/
IWF cross-connect table row

The frame relay PVC cross-connect table (frPVCConnectTable) does
contain an entry for the FR/ATM inter-worked connection

Note that the frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier
frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex objects are set by the system as a side
effect of cross-connect establishment. Consequently, these
are read-only

3.3.2. Frame Relay DTE

The Frame Relay DTE MIB described in [24] has no relevance to
FR/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB

3.3.3. ATM

ATM PVC endpoints are provisioned as rows in the ATM MIB [21]
connection link table

Each ATM connection endpoint is described in the atmVclTable.
connection between two ATM endpoints is described by an entry in
ATM VCL cross-connect table atmVcCrossConnectTable.
atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier object of each endpoint points to
atmVcCrossConnectTable row for the connection

In the case of an inter-worked connection,
atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier object is set to zero. Instead,
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier object in the frAtmIwfVclEntry
set to the index of the applicable FR/ATM IWF cross-connect
row






Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


Note that the frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier object is defined
in the ATM MIB but in Section 5 of this MIB. Specifically,
object is defined as a column object in a table that AUGMENTs the
MIB VCL table

The ATM VCL cross-connect table (atmVcCrossConnectTable) does
contain an entry for the inter-worked connection

Note that the atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier objects are set by the system as
side-effect of cross-connect establishment. Consequently,
objects are read-only

3.3.4. IF

The ifIndex defined in the IF MIB [22] identifies the specific
relay and ATM endpoint interfaces. The values
and frAtmIwfConnFrPort are used in this MIB as components in
index list for the frAtmIwfConnectionTable rows

3.4. Point to Multipoint

This MIB supports IWF implementations providing point-to-
functionality. All rows of the cross-connect table indexed by
same frAtmIwfConnIndex MUST utilize the
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor value

A group of cross-connect table entries indexed by the
frAtmIwfConnIndex value MUST agree on which service the
operation is offered. Two cases are possible

(1) Many frame relay PVCs cross-connected to one ATM PVC,

(2) One frame relay PVC cross-connected to many ATM

3.5. Theory of

3.5.1. Creation

Multiple steps are required to create a frame relay to ATM cross
connection. First, rows must be created in the following tables

(1) The Frame Relay Service MIB

(2) The ATM MIB

(3) The FR/ATM Service IWF MIB




Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


(4) The FR/ATM Service IWF MIB

Second, the newly created rows are cross-linked

Finally, the administrative and operational status objects are set
'up(1)'.

A step-by-step example is provided to illustrate the
process. In this example, the term "Manager" refers to a
management system that issues SNMP protocol actions to an "Agent".
The agent is integrated with the system that implements the
relay to ATM service IWF. In this example, the following cross
connection is created

+-----------------------------------+
+---------+ | FR/ATM PVC Service IWF |
| Frame | | ------------------------------ | +-----------+
| Relay | +--------> frAtmIwfConnIndex K <--------+ | ATM |
|Endpoint | | | V | | | Endpoint |
| ------- | | | | | | | --------- |
| DLCI X | | | +------------+ | | |VPI.VCI Q.R
| on |<-+ | | | +->| on |
|ifIndex Y| | V | | ifIndex S |
+---------+ |frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndex L| +-----------+
+-----------------------------------+

Step 1 - Create the frame relay PVC

a) Manager requests creation of a new row in the

b) Agent receives management request to create a row
frPVCEndptTable for the frame relay

c) A new row is created in frPVCEndptTable as follows

- frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier initialized to

- frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex initialized to

- remaining row objects initialized as needed for DLCI X
ifIndex

Step 2 - Create the ATM PVC

a) Agent receives management request to create a row in
for the ATM





Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


b) A new row is created in atmVclTable and frAtmIwfVclTable (
AUGMENT to the atmVclTable) as follows

- atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier initialized to

- frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier initialized to

- atmVclConnKind initialized to pvc(1)

- remaining row objects initialized as needed for VPI.VCI Q.R
ifIndex

Step 3 - Create the FR/ATM connection

a) If an existing connection descriptor is appropriate for the
connection, go to Step 4 using the selected connection
index value

b) Manager requests a new connection descriptor index value
reading frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndexNext from the

c) Agent receives GET request
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndexNext and responds with the
available value

d) Manager requests a new connection descriptor row entry using
value L as the

e) Agent receives SET request to create
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorTable row entry causes the system
create a row in the table

Step 4 - Create the FR/ATM cross-

a) Manager requests a new cross-connect index value by
frAtmIwfConnIndexNext from the

b) Agent receives GET request for frAtmIwfConnIndexNext and
with the next available value

c) Manager requests a new cross-connect row entry using the value
as the

d) Agent receives SET request to create the
row entry (note: the frame relay and ATM PVC endpoints MUST
and be specified as part of the index fields for the
'K.S.Q.R.Y.X')




Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


e) System creates a row in frAtmIwfConnectionTable for the
indices

- frAtmIwfConnIndex of

- frAtmIwfConnAtmPort of

- frAtmIwfConnVpi of

- frAtmIwfConnVci of

- frAtmIwfConnFrPort of

- frAtmIwfConnDlci of

- frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor of

Step 5 - The system sets the frame relay PVC endpoint and ATM
endpoint to point to the FR/ATM cross-connect row (as a side-
of Step 4).

a) System sets frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex to

b) System sets frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier to

Step 6 - Manager signals activation by issuing a SET for
frAtmIwfConnAdminStatus object using the value of 'up(1)'

Step 7 - Agent receives SET request for frAtmIwfConnAdminStatus
executes internal system mechanisms to activate each PVC segment
the IWF cross-connect. The successful activation permits the agent
respond with 'up(1)' when a GET request is received for the
fields

- frAtmIwfConnAtm2

- frAtmIwfConnFr2

- atmVclOperStatus (Note: there is no comparable FRS MIB object

3.5.2. Destruction

Destruction of the frame relay to ATM cross-connection is
by the network management system. The agent's processing of
request stimulates implementation-specific system clean-up actions
Following removal of the row in the cross-connection table,
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier in the frAtmIwfVclTable (AUGMENT




Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000


the ATM MIB endpoint table) and frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex in
Frame Relay Service MIB endpoint table are both re-initialized
zero

A step-by-step example is provided to illustrate the
process

Step 1 - Manager requests destruction of an existing row in
frAtmIwfConnectionTable by setting frAtmIwfConnRowStatus
destroy(6)

Step 2 - Agent receives the SET request and performs implementation
specific system clean-up actions for the cross-connection

Step 3 - System updates the relevant cross connect information
the frame relay PVC endpoint by setting frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex
0

Step 4 - System updates the relevant cross connect information
the ATM PVC endpoint as follows

a) System sets frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier to 0

b) System sets atmVclOperStatus to 'down(2)' (Note: there is
comparable FRS MIB object

Following the destruction of the FR/ATM cross-connection entry,
manager MAY set the frPVCConnectRowStatus and/or atmVclRowStatus
destroy(6) the associated endpoint entries

3.5.3. Modification

At the discretion of the agent, a FR/ATM cross-connect may
reconfigured by adding and/or deleting leafs to/from the IWF
as per the FR/ATM IWF cross-connect creation/destruction procedures
Reconfiguration of traffic/service category parameter values
release of the FR/ATM IWF cross-connect before those parameter
may be changed for individual frame relay or ATM endpoint segments

10. Security

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

No managed objects in this MIB contain sensitive information

SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is
control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access
GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB

It is recommended that the implementers consider the
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended

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