FDDI Applications

FDDI provides speed and reliability to a LAN and is often used as a backbone technology as well as a means of connecting high-speed computers in a local area. This section describes the views available for the FDDI application.

There are two FDDI Applications:

• FddiSMT Application • FDDI App (RFC 1512App) (Page 10)

FddiSMT ApplicationThere is one application-specific subview available for the FddiSMT application from the FddiSMT Icon Subviews menu, the FDDI Station List View. This view displays the configuration of the FDDI ring and basic information about the devices in the ring.

FDDI Station List ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the FddiSMTApp Application icon, select Station List.

The FDDI Station List View displays the configuration of the FDDI ring and basic information about the devices in the ring.

Station AddressThe address of the ring node. You select canonical or MAC presentation.

Node ClassThe type of FDDI ring device. Table 2 displays possible Node Class values.

F D D I A p p l i c a t i o n s F d d i S M T A p p l i c a t i o n


Ring TopologyThe current state of this FDDI node.

Master PortsThe number of master ports on this node. Values range from 0 to 255.

Upstream NeighborThe canonical or MAC address of the last node to receive the token before this node. SMT Rev 6.2 and earlier will specify an unknown address as 00.00.00.00.00.00. SMT revisions after 6.2 will specify an unknown address as 00.00.F8.00.00.00.

Click on this button to update the table.

Click on this button to toggle the display of station addresses between MAC (Physical) and Canonical (Ethernet). The button displays the format NOT currently selected.

Click on this button to set a filter affecting the stations displayed in the table. Choices are Set Filter and Clear Filter. Select an attribute to filter against by clicking one of the column heading buttons.

Click on this button to sort the stations displayed in the table. Values are Sort Up (default), Sort Down, and Un-Sort. To select an attribute to sort, click one of the column heading buttons.

FDDI App (RFC 1512App)There is one application-specific subview available for the FDDI App from the RFC1512App Icon Subviews menu, the SMT Device Configuration View.

SMT Device Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the FddiSMTApp Application icon, select Configuration, or double-click the bottom text label (c) of the icon.

This view provides two tables displaying FDDI information for the Station Table (below) and MAC Table (Page 14).

Station TableThis table provides a list of the SMT entries. Double-clicking on any entry in the Station Table accesses a Station Table View, which allows you to modify the selected entry. The Station Table and its corresponding entry-specific views provide the information described below. (Note that you must scroll the Station Table window in order to see all table entries.)

IndexA unique integer identifier for each SMT. The value for each SMT must remain constant at least

from one re-initialization of the entity’s network management system to the next re-initialization.

Station IdThe unique identifier for an FDDI station.

OpVersionIdThe SMT version that this station is using for its operation. The version number is included in the SMT frame so that a receiving station can determine whether or not its SMT version is able to communicate with the SMT version of another station. Knowing the version number allows the stations to handle version mismatches. Each FDDI station supports a range of SMT versions.

HiVersionIdThe highest version of SMT that this station supports. If a received frame has a version higher than the HiVersionId, the frame is discarded.

LoVersionIdThe lowest version of SMT that this station supports. If a received frame has a version lower than the LoVersionId, the frame is discarded.

MIB VersionIdThe SMT version of the FDDI MIB of this station.



MAC CtsThe number of Media Access Control (MAC) entities present in this station or concentrator, indicating the number of ring port pairs.

Non Master CtsThe number of A, B, or S ports on this station or concentrator.

Master CtsThe number of M Ports in a node. If the node is not a concentrator, the value of the variable is zero. An M port is a port that provides a connection for Single Attachment Station (SAS) devices to the FDDI framework.

NotifyThe timer, in seconds, used in the Neighbor Notification protocol. This value can range from 2 to 30 seconds, with a default value of 30 seconds. You can modify this field.

StatRptPolicyIndicates whether the node will generate Status Reporting Frames for its implemented events and conditions. Choices are True or False. If True, Status Reporting Frames will be generated. The initial value is True.

TraceMaxExpirationThe maximum propagation time, in milliseconds, for a Trace on an FDDI topology. You can modify this field.

Bypass Present Indicates whether the station has a bypass on its AB port pair. Possible values are True (bypassing) or False (not bypassing).

ECM StateIndicates the current state of the Entity Coordination Management (ECM), which controls the optical bypass switch and notifies physical connection management when an acceptable connection has been made and the transmission medium is available. The possible ECM states defined below are Out, In, Trace, Leave, Path_Test, Insert, Check, and Deinsert.

OutWhen Connection Management (CMT) is initialized, the ECM enters the Out state. In this state, the ECM waits for a connect request from SMT. A successful completion of a path test is required to proceed out of the Out state. In the Out state, if an optical bypass switch is present, it is in a bypassed state.

InThe normal state for a completed connection.



TraceUsed to localize a stuck Beacon condition.

LeaveUsed to allow sufficient time to break any existing connections.

Path_TestUsed upon the completion of the Trace function. In this state, the station or concentrator performs a test of its entities and data paths.

InsertAllows for the switching time of the optical bypass switch. In this state, an insert request is sent to the optical bypass switch. The ECM state remains as Insert until the optical bypass switch has completed switching.

CheckUsed to confirm that both the primary and secondary optical bypass switches have switched.

DeinsertAllows time for the optical bypass switch to deinsert.

CF StateThe attachment configuration for the station or concentrator. There are thirteen possible states. Table 3 describes the possible states and values.

Table 3: Possible Values for CF State

Value Definition

Isolated The port is not inserted into any path.

Local_a The A port is inserted into a local path and the B port is not.

Local_b The B port is inserted into a local path and the A port is not.

Local_ab Both the A and B ports are inserted into a local path.

Wrap_a The secondary path is wrapped to the A port.

Wrap_b The primary path is wrapped to the B port.

C_wrap_a The primary path and secondary paths are joined internal to the node and wrapped to the A port.

C_wrap_b The primary path and the secondary paths are joined internal to the node and wrapped to the B port.



Remote DisconnectIndicates whether the station was remotely disconnected from the network as a result of receiving a Station Action disconnect in a Parameter Management Frame. A station requires a Connect Action to rejoin and clear the flag. This field displays True when the station has been disconnected, and False when the station has not been disconnected.

Station StatusThe current status of the primary and secondary paths within this station. Options are Concatenated, Separated, or Thru.

Peer WrapA configuration management flag indicating that the port has peer wrapped. Options are True or False. Peer wrap is a condition which occurs when a dual-attachment node is wrapped with a Peer mode connection.

Time StampA time variable to allow rate calculations from counter values. This value may be reset to power change, station self-test, or path-test.

TransitionTime StampThis variable reflects the time of the most recent event occurrence, condition assertion, or condition deassertion in the station.

Station ActionWithin an entry-specific view, this button allows you to initiate action on the station. The action options are defined in Table 4.

Wrap_ab The primary path is wrapped to the B port and the secondary path is wrapped to the A port.

Thru The primary path enters the A port and emerges from the B port. The secondary path enters the B port and emerges from the A port.

Local_s The S port is inserted into a local path.

Wrap_s The primary path is wrapped to the S port.

C_wrap_s The primary path and secondary paths are joined internal to the node and wrapped to the S port.

Table 3: Possible Values for CF State

Value Definition



MAC TableThis table provides a list of the MAC entries. Double-clicking on any entry in the MAC Table accesses a MAC Table View, which allows you to modify the selected entry. The MAC Table and its corresponding entry-specific views provide the information described below. (Note that you must scroll the MAC Table window in order to see all entries.)

SMT IndexThe value of the SMT index associated with this MAC.

MAC IndexThe index variable for uniquely identifying this MAC.

MAC If IndexThe interface index number corresponding to this MAC. If none is applicable, the MAC If Index value is zero.

MAC PathIndicates which FDDI ring the device’s MAC is currently attached to. The MAC Path options are defined in Table 5.

Table 4: Action Options

Option Action

Other Results in an appropriate error.

Connect Generates a Connect signal to ECM to begin a connection sequence.

Disconnect Generates a Disconnect signal to ECM.

Path-Test Initiates a station Path_Test.

Self-Test Initiates a station Self_Test.

Disable-a Disables the A port if the A port mode is peer

Disable-b .Disables the B port if the B port mode is peer.

Disable-m Disables all M ports.



Downstream Port TypeThe type of the first port that is downstream from this MAC (the exit port). Possible types are A, B, S, M, or None.

T-Max ValueThe maximum supported value of Token Rotation Timer (TRT), displayed in nanoseconds. T_Max is the length of time that an unsuccessful claim process persists before a MAC on the ring begins to beacon.

TVX ValueThe Valid Transmission Timer (TVX) passed to the MAC, displayed in nanoseconds. This is reset whenever a valid transmission is received. In the event that TVX expires on a particular station, that station will start the ring recovery process.

Frames ReceivedThe number of frames received by this MAC.

Frames CopiedThe number of frames addressed to and successfully copied into the station’s receive buffers by this MAC. Note that this count does not include MAC frames.

Frames TransmittedThe number of frames transmitted by this MAC. Note that this count does not include MAC frames.

Table 5: MAC Path

Option Action

Isolated The MAC has no connection to the ring or other concentrator ports.

Local The MAC is connected to one or more nodes but is not connected to the dual ring.

Secondary Indicates that the secondary FDDI ring is being used.Primary

Primary Indicates that the primary FDDI ring is being used.Concatenated

Concatenated Indicates the port is inserted in both the primary and secondary paths in a concatenated wrap configuration.

Thru Indicates that the port is inserted in both the primary path and secondary paths in a thru configuration.



ErrorsThe number of frames that were detected in error by this MAC that had not been detected in error by another MAC.

Format ErrorsThe number of instances in which this MAC detected a format error during frame reception such that the frame was stripped.

ThresholdA threshold which, when exceeded, causes the generation of a MAC Condition report. Stations not supporting variable thresholds will have a value of 0. This field can be modified.

RMT StateThe current state of the Ring Management (RMT) State Machine. The possible states are defined in Table 6.

Table 6: RMT States

State Definition

Ring-Op The ring is functioning normally

Isolated The device is not attached to the main ring through its A and B ports.

Non-Op The device is attempting to enter the ring.

Detect The claim (beacon) process of the FDDI ring protocol has exceeded one second; there may be a problem on the ring. In this state, the ring is still alive, but no data is being transmitted.

Non-Op-Dup

The ring is not operational; a duplicate MAC address may have been discovered during the ring initialization process. This state is unlikely to occur unless you are using locally administered addresses, as factory-set MAC addresses are guaranteed to be unique.

Ring-Op-Dup

The ring is operational; however, a duplicate address has been detected. Like Non-Op-Dup, this state is unlikely to occur unless you are using locally-administered addresses.

Directed The beacon process did not complete within 7 seconds. The device is sending directed beacons to notify the other stations that a serious problem exists on the ring, and a Trace state is soon to follow.

Trace A problem exists on the ring that could not be corrected during the beaconing process, and a Trace has been initiated. During a Trace, the device sends a signal that forces its nearest upstream neighbor to remove from the ring and conduct a self-test.

Table 6: RMT States (Continued)

State Definition



Dup AddressIndicates the current status of the duplicate address detection function. Possible states are defined in Table 7.

Hardware PresentThis variable indicates the presence of underlying hardware support for this MAC object. Possible entries are True or False.

Table 7: Current Status

Status Definition

None Indicates the duplicate address test has not been completed.

Pass Indicates the duplicate address test has completed and has not detected a duplicate address.

Fail Indicates the duplicate address test has completed and has detected a duplicate address. This complements the duplicate address detection function of RMT, which operates when the logical ring is not operational.


Point-To-Point Application

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Application provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. This section provides access information for the PPP Application Views and describes the view fields available for the PPP application.

Four PPP application-specific views exist within SPECTRUM. These views can be obtained from the PPP_LCPApp1471 App Icon Subviews menu:

• PPP LCP Application Configuration View (Page 18)

• PPP Link Status Configuration View - Local to Remote Configuration Table (Page 19)

• PPP Link Status Configuration Table View - Remote to Local Configuration View (Page 20)

• PPP Link Status Table View (Page 21)

PPP LCP Application Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the PPP_LCPApp1471 Application icon, select Configuration.

Double-clicking an entry in the PPP Link Configuration Table (within the PPP LCP

Application Configuration View) displays the PPP LCP Configuration View (Page 19).

Interface Index A unique value assigned to identify the interface on that WAN connection. Not available in the ETWMIM.

Initial MRUThe initial Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) that the local PPP device advertises to the remote device.

Receive ACC MapThe Asynchronous-Control-Character-Map (ACC) a local PPP device requires for use on its receive side.

Transmit ACC MapThe Asynchronous-Control-Character-Map (ACC) a local PPP device requires on its transmit side.

P o i n t - T o - P o i n t A p p l i c a t i o n P P P L i n k S t a t u s C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w - L o c a l t o R e m o t e


Magic NumberIndicates whether the local PPP Entity will attempt to perform Magic Number Negotiation with the remote node. Possible entries are true (attempts negotiation), and false (negotiation is not attempted).

FCS SizeIndicates the size of the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) in bits. The local device attempts to negotiate usage with the remote device.

PPP LCP Configuration ViewThis View identifies the LCP (Link Control Protocol) configuration parameters for this PPP Link. These variables represent the initial configuration of the PPP Link. The actual values of the parameters change when the link is brought up via the LCP options negotiation mechanism.

PPP Link Status Configuration View - Local to Remote Configuration Table Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the PPP_LCPApp1471 Application icon, select Local to Remote Configuration.

Physical Index The unique value assigned to identify the low-level interface over which this PPP Link is operating. This interface would usually be an HDLC or RS-232 type of interface. If there is no other element that can be identified, then the value of this field is 0. For example, if PPP operates over a serial port there will be two entries in the Table. The PPP could be running over ‘interface’ number 123 and the serial port could be running over ‘interface’ number 987. Therefore, ifSpecific.123 would contain the object ID PPP. ETWMIM - refers to this field as PPP Link.

IF Index A unique value for each PPP Link. The value must remain constant from one re-initialization of the system to the next. ETWMIM refers to this field as PPP Link.

P o i n t - T o - P o i n t A p p l i c a t i o n P P P L i n k S t a t u s C o n f i g u r a t i o n T a b l e V i e w - R e m o t e t o L o c a l


Local MRUThe initial Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) that the remote PPP entity will advertise to the local entity. If this value is set to 0, no MRU is advertised and the default MRU is assumed. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

ACC MapThe Asynchronous Control Character (ACC) Map that the remote PPP entity requires for use on the receive side of the link. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

ACCThe Asynchronous Control Character (ACC) Map that the remote PPP entity requires for use on the transmit side of the link. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

Protocol CompressionIndicates if the remote PPP entity will use Address and Control Compression when transmitting packets to the remote PPP entity.

FCS SizeThis field displays size, in bits, of FCS (Frame Check Sequence) the remote node will generate when sending packets to the local entity.

The PPP protocol indicates whether the remote PPP entity will use Protocol Compression when transmitting packets to the local PPP entity. The

value of this field is meaningful only when the link reaches the open state. Figure shows the PPP Link Status Configuration View, with remote to local configuration information.

PPP Link Status Configuration Table View - Remote to Local Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the PPP_LCPApp1471 Application icon, select Remote to Local Configuration.

Physical Index The unique value assigned to identify the low-level interface over which this PPP Link is operating. This interface would usually be an HDLC or Rs-232 type of interface. If there is no other element that can be identified, then the value of this field is 0. For example, if PPP operates over a serial port there will be two entries in the Table. The PPP could be running over ‘interface’ number 123 and the serial port could be running over ‘interface’ number 987. Therefore, ifSpecific.123 would contain the object ID PPP. ETWMIM refers to this field as PPP Link.

IF IndexA unique value for each PPP Link. The value remains constant from one re-initialization of the network management system to the next. ETWMIM refers to this field as PPP Link.

Remote MRUThe initial Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) that the local PPP entity will advertise to the remote entity. If this value is set to 0, no MRU is advertised and the default MRU is assumed. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

ACC MapThe Asynchronous Control Character (ACC) Map that the local PPP entity requires for use on the receive side of the link. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

ACCThe Asynchronous Control Character (ACC) Map that the local PPP entity requires for use on the transmit side of the link. Changes are enabled upon the next link restart.

Protocol CompressionThis field indicates whether the local PPP entity will use Address and Control Compression when transmitting packets to the remote PPP entity.

FCS SizeThis field displays the size, in bits, of FCS (Frame Check Sequence) that the local node will generate when sending packets to the remote entity.

Double-clicking a table entry brings up the PPP Link Status Performance View, which shows a single pie chart. Refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation for more information on pie chart statistics.

PPP Link Status Table ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the PPP_LCPApp1471 Application icon, select Link Status Table.

IF IndexThe unique identifier as it relates to the port (interface); n/a for the ETWMIM.

Physical IndexThe unique value assigned to identify the low-level interface over which this PPP Link is operating. This interface would usually be an HDLC or Rs-232 type of interface. If there is no other element that can be identified, then the value of this field is 0. For example, if PPP operates over a serial port there will be two entries in the table. The PPP could be running over ‘interface’ number 123 and the serial port

P o i n t - T o - P o i n t A p p l i c a t i o n P P P L i n k S t a t u s T a b l e V i e w


could be running over ‘interface’ number 987. Therefore, ifSpecific.123 would contain the object ID PPP.

Table 9: Zero Codes

Code Description

JBZS Jammed Bit Zero Suppression, in which the AT&T specification of at least one pulse every 8 bit periods is literally implemented by forcing a pulse in bit 8 of each channel. Thus, only seven bits per channel, or 1.3444 Mbps, are available for data.

B8ZS Refers to the use of a specified pattern of normal bits and bipolar violations that are used to replace a sequence of eight zero bits.

ZBTSI May use dsx1ZBTSI, or Zero Byte Time Slot Interchange.

HDB3 With or without CRC, use dsx1HDB3 or dsx1AMI.

AMI Refers to a mode wherein no zero code suppression is present and the line encoding does not solve the problem directly. In this application, the higher layer must provide data that meets or exceeds the pulse density requirements, such as inverting HDLC data.

rfc1315 Frame Relay Application

This section describes the rfc1315 Frame Relay Application.

This application provides access to the following device-specific tables:

• rfc1315App Error Table (Page 69)• rfc1315App Data Link Connection

Management Table (Page 69)• rfc1315App Circuit Table (Page 71).

rfc1315App Error TableAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the rfc1315App Application icon, select Error Table.

This table provides information about errors encountered on each frame relay interface. The table contains the following fields.

IndexA value that identifies a table entry.

Last ErrorThe type of error that was last seen on the interface. The possible values are unknownError, receiveShort, receiveLong, illegalDLCI,

unknownDLCI, dlcmiProtoErr, dlcmiUnknownIE, dlcmiSequenceErr, dlcmiUnknownRpt, and noErrorSinceReset.

Error PacketAn octet string containing as much of the error packet as possible (at least up to the PDU). As a minimum, it contains the Q922 address or as much as was delivered.

Time DetectedThe value of sysUpTime when the error was detected.

rfc1315App Data Link Connection Management TableAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the rfc1315App Application icon, select DLCMI Table.

IndexA value that identifies a table entry.

StateDefines which DLCM scheme is active (and by implication, what DLCI it uses) on the Frame Relay interface. The possible values are noLmiConfigured, lmiRev1, ansiT1-617-D, and ansiT1-617-B.

Address FormatThe address format, either q921 or q922.

Address LengthThe address length in octets. The possible values are two, three, and four. In the case of Q922 format, the length indicates the entire length of the address including the control portion.

Polling IntervalA read-write value giving the number of seconds between successive status enquiry messages. The default value is 10.

Enquiry IntervalA read-write value for the number of status enquiry intervals that pass before a full status enquiry message is issued. The default value is 6.

Error ThresholdA read-write value for the maximum number of unanswered status enquiries the equipment will accept before declaring the interface down. The default value is 3.

Monitored EventsA read-write value for the number of status polling intervals over which the error threshold is counted. For example, if within this value the station receives the Error Threshold number of errors, the interface is marked as down. The default value is 4.

Max Supported VCsA read-write value for the maximum number of VCs allowed for this interface. This is usually dictated by the Frame Relay network. In response to a SET, if a value less than zero or higher than the agent’s maximum capability is configured, the agent should respond with “bad Value.”

MulticastIndicates whether the Frame Relay interface is using a multicast service. The possible values are nonBroadcast and broadcast.


rfc1315App Circuit TableAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the rfc1315App Application icon, select Circuit Table.

This table provides information about Data Link Connection Identifiers and corresponding virtual circuits. It contains the following fields.

IndexA value identifying a table (virtual circuit) entry.

DLCIThe Data Link Connection Identifier for this virtual circuit.

StateSet to indicate whether the particular virtual circuit is operational. The possible values are invalid, inactive, and active (default). In the absence of a Data Link Connection Management Interface, virtual circuit entries (rows) may be created by setting the state to active or deleted by setting the state to invalid. Whether the row actually disappears is left to the implementation, so this field may actually read as invalid for some arbitrary length of time. It is also possible to set the state of a virtual circuit to inactive to temporarily disable a given circuit.

Received FECNsThe number of frames received from the network indicating forward congestion since the virtual circuit was created.

Received BECNsThe number of frames received from the network indicating backward congestion since the virtual circuit was created.

FDDI SMT InformationAccess: From the Icon Subviews for the rfc1285 Application icon, select SMT Information.

IndexA unique value for each SMT.

Station IdA unique identifier for an FDDI station.

Operation Version IdThe version that this station is using for its operation.

High Version IdThe highest version of SMT that this station supports.

Low Version IdThe lowest version of SMT that this station supports.

SMT MAC CountThe number of MACs in the station or concentrator.

Configuration PolicyA value that indicates the configuration policies currently enforced in the node. The "configurationhold" policy refers to the Hold flag, and should not be present only if the Hold function is supported. The “CF-Wrap-AB” policy refers to the CF_Wrap_AB flag.

Connection PolicyA value that indicates the connection policies enforced at the station. A station sets the corresponding policy for each of the connection types that it rejects. The letter designations, X and Y, in the "reject X-Y", have the following significance: X represents the PC-Type of the local port and Y represents a PC-neighbor in the evaluation of Connection-Policy (PC-Type, PC-Neighbor) that is done to determine the setting of T-Val in the PC-Signaling sequence.

The value is a sum. This value initially takes the value zero, then for each of the connection

policies currently enforced on the node, 2 raised to a power is added to the sum. The powers are according to the following table:

must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity’s network management system to the next re-initialization.

SMT IndexThe value of the SMT index associated with this MAC.

IndexA unique value for each MAC on the managed entity. The MAC identified by a particular value of this index is that identified by the same value of an ifindex object instance. That is, if a MAC is associated with the interface whose value of ifIndex in the Internet-Standard MIB is equal to 5, then the value of this MAC Index shall also equal 5. The value for each MAC must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity’s network management system to the next re-initialization.

MAC TvxThe value of TvxValue.

Max TMinThe value of T-Min.

Current Frame StatusA value that indicates the MAC’s operational frame status setting functionality.

Frame Error ThresholdA threshold for determining when a MAC Condition report should be generated. The condition is true when the ratio exceeds the threshold. It is used to determine when a station has an unacceptable frame error threshold. The sampling algorithm is implementation dependent. Any attempt to set this variable to a value of less than one shall result in a badValue error. Those who are familiar with the SNMP management framework will recognize that thresholds are not in keeping with the SNMP philosophy. However, this variable is supported by underlying SMT implementations already, and maintaining this threshold should not pose an additional burden on SNMP agent implementors.

Frame Error RatioThis attribute is the actual ratio.

RFC2667App

This section describes the IP Tunnel MIB application (RFC2667App).

RFC2667AppThis section describes the views available for the RFC2667App application. There are two application-specific subviews available from the Icon Subviews menu:

• Tunnel Interface Table• Tunnel Configuration Table (Page 105)

Tunnel Interface TableAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the RFC2667App icon, select Tunnel Interface Table.

This table contains information on configured IP tunnels. Double-clicking an entry in this table opens a Tunnel Interface Entry view for that entry. The following information is provided.

Local AddressThe address of the local endpoint of the tunnel (i.e., the source address used in the outer IP header), or 0.0.0.0 if unknown.

Remote AddressThe address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel (i.e., the destination address used in the outer IP header), or 0.0.0.0 if unknown.

Hop LimitThe TTL to use in the outer IP header. A value of 0 indicates that the value is copied from the payload's header.

R F C 2 6 6 7 A p p R F C 2 6 6 7 A p p


Encapsulation Method The encapsulation method used by the tunnel. The value direct indicates that the packet is encapsulated directly within a normal IPv4 header, with no intermediate header, and unicast to the remote tunnel endpoint (e.g., an RFC 2003 IP-in-IP tunnel, or an RFC 1933 IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel). The value minimal indicates that a Minimal Forwarding Header (RFC 2004) is inserted between the outer header and the payload packet. The value UDP indicates that the payload packet is encapsulated within a normal UDP packet (e.g., RFC 1234). The remaining protocol-specific values (Table 32) indicate that a header of the protocol of that name is inserted between the outer header and the payload header.

SecurityThe method used by the tunnel to secure the outer IP header. The value ipsec indicates that IPsec is used between the tunnel endpoints for authentication or encryption or both. More specific security-related information may be available in a MIB for the security protocol in use. Possible values are none (no security), ipsec (IPSEC security), and other.

Table 32: Encapsulation Method

Encapsulation Method Description

other none of the following

direct no intermediate header

gre GRE encapsulation

minimal Minimal encapsulation

l2tp L2TP encapsulation

pptp PPTP encapsulation

l2f L2F encapsulation

udp UDP encapsulation

atmp ATMP encapsulation


TOSThe method used to set the high 6 bits of the TOS in the outer IP header. A value of -1 indicates that the bits are copied from the payload's header. A value of -2 indicates that a traffic conditioner is invoked and more information may be available in a traffic conditioner MIB. A value between 0 and 63 inclusive indicates that the bit field is set to the indicated value.

Tunnel Configuration TableAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the RFC2667App icon, select Tunnel Configuration Table.

This table can be used to map a set of tunnel endpoints to the associated ifIndex value. It can also be used for row creation. Note that every row in the Tunnel Interface Table (Page 103) with a fixed destination address should have a corresponding row in this table, regardless of whether it was created via SNMP. This table provides the following information.

Local AddressThe address of the local endpoint of the tunnel, or 0.0.0.0 if the device is free to choose any of its addresses at tunnel establishment time.

Remote AddressThe address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel.

Encapsulation MethodThe encapsulation method used by the tunnel. See Encapsulation Method and Table 32 (Page 104).

IDAn identifier used to distinguish between multiple tunnels of the same encapsulation method, with the same endpoints.

IF IndexIf the value of Status for this row is active, then this contains the value of ifIndex corresponding to the tunnel interface. A value of 0 is not legal in the active state, and means that the interface index has not yet been assigned.

StatusThe status of this row, by which new entries may be created, or old entries deleted from this table.
