Therefore this object will be set to the value of 127.

4.Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 2863)

The interfaces group consists of an object indicating the number of interfaces supported by the unit and an interface table containing an entry for each interface in the GranDSLAM R3.2. Since RFC 2863 is an SNMPv2 MIB it will be converted to SNMPv1 for support by the GranDSLAM R3.2. There will be entries for WAN interfaces, ATM cell interfaces, an AAL5 interface, management interfaces and DSL interfaces.

4.1“ifNumber” Object (interfaces 1)

ifNumber will be supported as specified in the Evolution MIB and will specify the number of rows in the ifTable for this particular device.

4.1.1“ifIndex” Object (ifEntry 1)

This object provides the index into the ifTable and typically into tables in other MIBs also. A unique value, greater than zero, for each interface or interface sublayer in the managed system. It is recommended that values be assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each interface sublayer must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity’s network management system to the next re-initialization.

4.1.1.1ifIndex scheme

This section introduces the ifIndex scheme to be used in the GranDSLAM R3.2 product. It describes the interfaces to be managed as specified in the system requirements along with their corresponding ifIndex assigned. The assignment of the values to the ifIndex in the product is static and maintained across power cycles and software upgrades. The first column in Table 1-6, GranDSLAM R3.2 Interface List, is the Interface description. The second column corresponds to the layer in the stack where this interface fits (It does not necessary match the layer in the OSI model). The third column is the number of this interface supported in the current software release. The forth column is the maximum number of this interface that is envisioned in this product. The fifth column is the name associated with that instance of the interface.

The ‘x’ suffix in some ifName values corresponds to the interface/port number within the same chassis.

Paradyne 8820, 8620 Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II RFC, IfNumber Object interfaces, IfIndex Object ifEntry

8620, 8820 specifications

The Paradyne 8620 and Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM are advanced DSLAM devices designed to provide high-speed broadband access over existing copper lines. This installation guide will outline the main features, technologies, and characteristics of these powerful units.

The Paradyne 8620 is engineered to support various DSL technologies, including ADSL, ADSL2+, and VDSL. This versatility allows operators to deploy services tailored to the needs of their customers, enabling data rates of up to 50 Mbps downstream, making it an ideal choice for meeting increasing bandwidth demands. The Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM shares many similarities, focusing on providing enhanced service delivery for both residential and business users.

One of the key features of the GranDSLAM series is its modular architecture. Both models support up to 48 subscriber line interfaces in a single chassis, which provides significant scalability. Operators can seamlessly increase capacity by adding additional cards to accommodate growth. The devices are designed for easy deployment and management, equipped with an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies configuration and monitoring tasks.

Both units also feature advanced management capabilities, including support for SNMP and TR-069 protocols. This allows service providers to manage and provision devices remotely, significantly reducing operational costs and improving service reliability. The GranDSLAM models can also provide detailed diagnostic information, helping operators quickly identify and troubleshoot issues.

The Paradyne and Hotwire series ensure interoperability with various customer premises equipment, enabling service providers to offer bundled services such as voice, video, and data over the same connection. This capability is enhanced by the units’ ability to support VLANs and QoS features, ensuring that high-priority traffic receives the necessary bandwidth.

In addition to performance, the 8620 series is built with energy efficiency in mind. By utilizing power-saving features, these units help reduce overall operational costs while still providing reliable service.

Overall, the Paradyne 8620 and Hotwire 8620 GranDSLAM are robust solutions for service providers looking to deliver high-speed broadband services. Their modular design, advanced management capabilities, and support for multiple DSL technologies make them an excellent choice for today’s demanding telecommunications environment. With these advantages, operators can effectively meet customer needs while preparing for future growth and technology advancements.
