SNMP MIB Objects

Interface Group ± ªifAdminStatusº Object (ifEntry 7)

This object specifies the desired state (configuration) of the interface. This object is supported only for the MODEM port. It provides the ability to switch between using the MODEM port as the SNMP management link and ASCII operations (Dial-out, FPE). Refer to the 3100 Series device document for more information. The value of this object will not affect the state of any of the interfaces on the T1 DSU/CSU other than the MODEM port. Only the following values are supported by the DSU/CSU:

•up(1) ± The SNMP management link is active on the MODEM port (i.e., the Modem Use configuration option is set to SNMP).

•testing(3) ± The SNMP management link is inactive on the MODEM port and can be used for proprietary ASCII functions.

•Interface Group ± ªifOperStatusº Object (ifEntry 8)

This object specifies the current operational state of the interface. The value of this object for each interface is defined as follows:

Network T1:	The interface is up(1) when no
	alarm conditions exist.
	The interface is down(2) when an
	alarm condition is active.
DTE	The interface is up(1) when no
Drop/Insert T1:	alarm conditions exist and the I/F
	is enabled.
	The interface is down(2) when an
	alarm condition is active and the
	I/F is disabled.
	The interface is testing(3) when a
	test is active on the interface.
COM Port:	When configured as the SNMP
	management link, up and down are
	based on the current state of the
	link layer protocol. Otherwise, the
	interface is always up(1).
	The interface is never in the
	testing(3) state.

MODEM Port:	When configured as the SNMP
	management link, up and down are
	based on the current state of the
	link layer protocol. Otherwise, the
	interface is always up(1) when the
	MODEM is connected and
	down(2) when the MODEM is not
	connected.
	The interface is never in the
	testing(3) state.
Data Ports:	The interface is up(1) when the
	port is assigned to a T1 interface
	and both CTS and DSR are ON.
	The interface is down(2) when the
	port is unassigned or either CTS or
	DSR is OFF.
	The interface is testing(3) when a
	test is active on the interface.

Interface Group ± Input Counters (objects ifEntry 10 to ifEntry 15)

The objects used to collect statistics on the data received by an interface apply only to the COM port and the MODEM port when the port is configured as the SNMP management link. For interfaces that are not configured as the SNMP management link, these statistics are not provided and an error status is returned if access is attempted. The objects used to collect input statistics are listed below:

•ifInOctets (ifEntry 10)

•ifInUcastPkts (ifEntry 11)

•ifInNUcastPkts (ifEntry 12)

•ifInDiscards (ifEntry 13)

•ifInErrors (ifEntry 14)

•ifInUnknownProtos (ifEntry 15)
