<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   used for managing SONET linear Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
   architectures.  Two linear APS architectures are supported, the 1+1
   architecture and the 1:n architecture.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. The Internet-Standard Management Framework</span>

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to <a href="./rfc3410#section-7">section&nbsp;7 of
   RFC 3410</a> [<a href="./rfc3410" title="&quot;Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet- Standard Management Framework&quot;">RFC3410</a>].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   <a href="./rfc2578">RFC 2578</a> [<a href="./rfc2578" title="&quot;Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)&quot;">RFC2578</a>], STD 58, <a href="./rfc2579">RFC 2579</a> [<a href="./rfc2579" title="&quot;Textual Conventions for SMIv2&quot;">RFC2579</a>] and STD 58, <a href="./rfc2580">RFC 2580</a>
   [<a href="./rfc2580" title="&quot;Conformance Statements for SMIv2&quot;">RFC2580</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Overview</span>

   These objects are used to control and manage SONET linear APS
   architectures.  Ring APS groups are not currently supported by this
   MIB.

   The MIB includes three scalars, containing counts of APS groups and
   SONET LTEs, a notification enable object, and six tables.

   The apsMapTable contains entries for each SONET LTE interface
   available on the system.  The table serves two purposes.  It can be
   used to locate SONET LTE interfaces that are not currently included
   in APS groups.  It also provides a mapping from InterfaceIndex to
   group name and channel number for those SONET LTE interfaces that are
   included in APS groups.  Entries in apsMapTable cannot be added or
   deleted through operations defined in this MIB.  However, an
   apsMapEntry may be added or deleted through other system mechanisms,
   such as hot swap.  Also, existing entries cannot be directly modified
   and instead, such modifications occur as a result of side-effects of
   operations on the apsChanConfigTable.

   The apsChanConfigTable supports addition, modification and deletion
   of entries representing linear APS channels.  Entries are indexed by
   a text group name and integer channel number.  Each entry contains an
   InterfaceIndex value identifying the SONET LTE used for the channel
   and the priority of the channel.  A side effect of row creation or

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc3498">RFC 3498</a>                  SONET LINEAR APS MIB                March 2003</span>


   deletion is the setting of map entry fields.  Creation of two or more
   entries in this table with a common group name index and consecutive
   channel numbers is the first step in the creation and configuration
   of an APS group.  It is not necessary to create channel numbers in
   order; however, before an APS group is made active, the set of
   channels must begin with channel number 0 (for architectures other
   than onePlusOneOptimized) or channel number 1 (for the
   onePlusOneOptimized architecture) and must have consecutive channel
   numbers not exceeding 14.  Note that the term null channel, which is
   used throughout this document, refers to the protection line.

   The apsConfigTable supports addition, modification, and deletion of
   entries representing linear APS groups.  Entries are indexed by a
   text group name.  Each entry contains parameters that specify the
   configuration of a particular linear APS group.  Entries are created
   in this table after a set of channels are created in the
   apsChanConfigTable.  To successfully set an instance of
   apsConfigRowStatus to active the apsConfigEntry must contain valid
   values and all associated apsChanConfigEntry rows must be valid and
   produce a consecutive set of channels beginning with channel number 0
   or 1, depending on the selected architecture.

   The apsCommandTable provides linear APS commands that support
   protection switching and the ability to modify APS operation.
   Entries in this table are created as a side effect of setting the
   associated apsConfigRowStatus object to active.  Entries in this
   table are deleted if the associated apsConfigRowStatus object is set
   to any value except active.

   The apsChanStatusTable provides individual channel statistics.

   The apsStatusTable provides group level statistics.

   An APS group is created and configured with the following sequence of
   events:

   CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

   Create an entry in the apsChanConfigTable.  Set the
   apsChanConfigGroupName in an apsChanConfigEntry to a user-friendly
   text string which will serve as the APS group name.  The string must
   not be equal to the apsConfigName of an existing apsConfigEntry with
   apsConfigRowStatus set to active, since a channel cannot be added to
   an active group.  The string may be set equal to the apsConfigName of
   a row which is currently not set to active, or it may be set to a
   string which does not currently exist in any instance of
   apsConfigName.  A channel number is entered in apsChanConfigNumber.
   A channel priority is entered in apsChanConfigPriority, if the

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc3498">RFC 3498</a>                  SONET LINEAR APS MIB                March 2003</span>


   intended architecture is 1:n.  apsChanConfigPriority is ignored if
   the architecture is 1+1.  The InterfaceIndex value of a SONET LTE
   interface is entered in apsChanConfigIfIndex.

   This step is repeated for all apsChanConfigEntry instances which are
   to be included in the APS group.

   ACTIVATING THE GROUP

   If the apsChanConfigGroupName does not exist in an instance of
   apsConfigName, an apsConfigEntry is created with the
   apsChanConfigGroupName value used as the index for the row.  The
   apsConfigRowStatus value may be set to createAndGo.  The
   apsGroupConfigEntry and apsChanConfigEntry instances with matching
   name fields will be checked for consistency.  If any errors in the
   channel numbers, architecture or configuration are uncovered the
   apsConfigRowStatus set will return inconsistentValue, otherwise
   noError is returned.

   If the apsChanConfigGroupName value used in channel configuration
   exists in a previously created, inactive apsConfigEntry instance, the
   apsConfigRowStatus value may be set to active.

   An agent is not required to process SNMP Set Requests that affect
   multiple control objects within this MIB.  This is intended to
   simplify the processing of Set Requests for the various control
   tables by eliminating the possibility that a single Set PDU will
   contain multiple varbinds which are in conflict, such as a PDU which
   both activates a given apsConfigEntry while at the same time it
   deactivates an associated apsChanConfigEntry.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-9" href="#section-9">9</a>. Security Considerations</span>

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
   have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.  In particular, the APS command objects
   apsCommandSwitch and apsCommandControl and the APS configuration
   objects apsConfigRowStatus, apsConfigMode, apsConfigRevert,
   apsConfigDirection, apsConfigExtraTraffic, apsConfigSdBerThreshold,
   apsConfigSfBerThreshold, apsConfigWaitToRestore,
   apsConfigStorageType, apsChanConfigRowStatus, apsChanConfigIfIndex,
   apsChanConfigPriority, apsChanConfigStorageType and
   apsNotificationEnable have the potential of disrupting APS operations
   if set operations are performed with malicious intent.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
   there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to
   access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this
   MIB module.

   It is recommended that implementers consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see <a href="./rfc3410#section-8">[RFC3410], section&nbsp;8</a>),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is not
   recommended.  Instead, it is recommended to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that access to an instance of this MIB
   module is properly configured for only those principals (users) that
   have legitimate rights to GET or SET object instances.
