MIB Descriptions

Interface Stack Group

The Interface Stack Group is used by the unit to show the relationship between a logical interface and a physical interface. The following table provides clarification for objects contained in the Interface Stack group when it is not clear how the object definition in RFC 1573 is supported by the unit.

Table C-4. Interface Stack Group Objects

Object

Description

Setting/Contents

ifStackHigher- Provides the index that

Layercorresponds to the higher (ifStackEntry1) sublevel specified by

ifStackLowerLayer.

When the In-band Management Channel is enabled, this object for the DDS network interface is set to the ifIndex of the In-band Management Channel. All other ifStackHigherLayer objects will have a value of zero.

ifStackLower- Provides the index that

Layercorresponds to the lower (ifStackEntry2) sublevel specified by

ifStackHigherLayer.

When the In-band Management Channel is enabled, this object for the In-band Management Channel is set to the ifIndex of the DDS network interface. All other ifStackLowerLayer objects will have a value of zero.

ifStackStatus	Specifies the stack group's	H When ifStackStatus set to active ±
(ifStackEntry3)	status compared to the	maps to ifOperStatus set to up(1) or
	interface's ifOperStatus.	testing(3).
	Supported as a read-only	H When ifStackStatus set to not in
	variable.	service ± maps to ifOperStatus set to
		down(2).

Interface Test Table

The unit uses the Interface Test table to provide access to additional tests such as loopbacks and pattern tests, which are not included in the Interfaces Group of

MIB II.

Table C-5. Interface Test Group Objects (1 of 2)

Object	Description	Setting/Contents
ifTestID	Provides a unique identifier	Set by an SNMP Manager before the
(ifTestEntry 1)	for the current request of	test is started. The unit then increments
	the interface's test. Ensures	the previous value. The value is then
	that the results of the test	checked after the test has completed.
	are for that request. This
	handles the rare condition
	where another SNMP
	Manager starts a test
	immediately after
	completion of a previous
	test, but before the
	previous test results are
	received by the first SNMP
	manager.
