RFC 3498 SONET LINEAR APS MIB March 2003
1. Introduction
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.
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
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, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
3. Overview
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 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.
Kuhfeld, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 3498 SONET LINEAR APS MIB March 2003
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 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.
Kuhfeld, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3498 SONET LINEAR APS MIB March 2003
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.

"The status of this APS channel entry.
An entry may not exist in the active state unless all objects in the entry have an appropriate value.
A row in the apsChanConfigTable may not be created, deleted, set to notInService or otherwise modified if the apsChanConfigGroupName value is equal to an apsConfigName value and the associated apsConfigRowStatus object is equal to active. However, if the apsConfigRowStatus object is equal to notInService, a row may be created, deleted or modified. In other words, a channel may not be added, deleted or modified if the group is active. A row may be created with an apsChanConfigGroupName value that is not equal to any existing instance of apsConfigName. This action is the initial step in adding a SONET LTE to a new APS group.
Kuhfeld, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 3498 SONET LINEAR APS MIB March 2003
If this object is set to destroy, the associated instance of apsMapGroupName will be set to a string of size 0 and the apsMapChanNumber will be set to -1. The channel status entry will also be deleted by this action.
apsChanConfigNumber must be set to a unique channel number within the APS group. The value 0 indicates the null channel. The values 1-14 define a working channel. When an attempt is made to set the corresponding apsConfigRowStatus field to active the apsChanConfigNumber values of all entries with equal apsChanConfigGroupName fields must represent a set of consecutive integer values beginning with 0 or 1, depending on the architecture of the group, and ending with n, where n is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 14.

"Allows the initiation of an APS switch command on the

When read this object returns the last command written or noCmd if no command has been written to this channel since initialization. The return of the last command written does not imply that this command is currently in effect. This request may have been preempted by a higher priority local or remote request. In order to determine the current state of the APS group it is necessary to read the objects apsStatusK1K2Rcv and apsStatusK1K2Trans.
The value lockoutOfProtection should only be applied to the protection line channel since that switch command prevents any of the working channels from switching to the protection line. Following the same logic, forcedSwitchProtectToWork and manualSwitchProtectToWork should only be applied to the protection line channel.
forcedSwitchWorkToProtect and manualSwitchWorkToProtect should only be applied to a working channel."

Kuhfeld, et al. Standards Track [Page 28]
RFC 3498 SONET LINEAR APS MIB March 2003
When queried with index value apsChanConfigNumber set to 0, which is the protection line, this object will return the value of sysUpTime the last time that a working channel was switched back to the working line from this protection line. If no working channel has ever switched back to the working line from this protection line, the value 0 will be returned."
::= { apsChanStatusEntry 5 }
apsChanStatusSwitchoverSeconds OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION
"The cumulative Protection Switching Duration (PSD) time in
seconds. For a working channel, this is the cumulative number of seconds that service was carried on the protection line. For the protection line, this is the cumulative number of seconds that the protection line has been used to carry any working channel traffic. This information is only valid if revertive switching is enabled. The value 0 will be returned otherwise.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of apsChanStatusDiscontinuityTime. For example, if the value of an instance of apsChanStatusSwitchoverSeconds changes from a non-zero value to zero due to revertive switching being disabled, it is expected that the corresponding value of apsChanStatusDiscontinuityTime will be updated to reflect the time of the configuration change. "

9. Security Considerations
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 [RFC3410], section 8), 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.
