1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [16].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.
2. Conventions
The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, NOT RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when
they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described in
RFC 2119 [23].
3. Overview
This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for
monitoring and controlling a service interworking function (IWF) for
Permanent Virtual Connections (PVC) between Frame Relay and
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies. The agreements on
which this MIB is based were reached jointly by the Frame Relay Forum
and the ATM Forum and are documented in the Frame Relay Forum
Document FRF.8 [17].

RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
3.1. Frame Relay/ATM Service Interworking Background
Frame relay to ATM interworking is a function that exchanges Protocol
Data Units (PDU) between a frame relay service user and an ATM
service user. Two types of interworking functions are specified for
frame relay and ATM permanent virtual connection (PVC) service users:
network interworking and service interworking.
Network interworking provides PDU forwarding between frame relay
service users inter-connected by an ATM service. Both endpoints are
frame relay PVCs. Frame Relay to ATM PVC Network Interworking is
defined in [20].
Service interworking provides PDU forwarding so that the ATM service
user performs no frame relaying service-specific functions and the
frame relay service user performs no ATM service-specific functions.
Optionally, the service IWF translates particular higher layer
protocols to satisfy the requirements of end-systems. Frame Relay to
ATM PVC Service Interworking is defined in [17].
This MIB describes management objects used to provision, monitor, and
control a Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF.
FRF.8 [17] does not address point-to-multipoint applications of the
IWF. Implementations MAY provide support for point-to-multipoint
capability using this MIB.
Consult FRF.8 [17] for more details on the operation of a Frame
Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF.
3.2. Structure of the MIB
The Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF managed objects are organized as
follows:
(1) FR/ATM PVC Service IWF cross-connect table,
(2) Connection description table, and
(3) Notification object
The IWF cross-connect table contains one or more rows for each
inter-worked connection. Each inter-worked connection is uniquely
identified by the frAtmIwfConnIndex object. In the case of point-to-
point, a single row is present. In the case of point-to-multipoint,
one row exists for each multipoint destination. Index objects for
the ATM port, VPI, VCI, frame relay port, and frame relay DLCI
distinguish the constituent rows used in a point-to-multipoint case.
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
Each inter-worked connection has attributes governing behavior of the
IWF. These attributes describe how the IWF should transform a PDU
during the forwarding process and provide rules for:
(1) Mapping the ATM CLP bit to frame relay DE bit
(2) Mapping the ATM congestion notification bit to frame relay
congestion bits
(3) Mapping higher protocol encapsulations between ATM and frame
relay
(4) Performing fragmentation and reassembly
(5) Performing ARP translation between ATM and frame relay
Typically, most connections share the same attributes. The
attributes are represented in this MIB by the connection description
table. Each row of the connection description table contains the
attribute settings common to one or more inter-worked connections.
One example would be full mapping and translation. All cross-connect
table entries that require full mapping and translation services set
the frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor object to the index value for the
connection description table row that contains objects set to values
that provide full mapping and translation services.
A notification object provides cross-connect status change alerts.
3.3. Relationship to Other MIBs
The Frame Relay/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB describes the cross-
connections between frame relay and ATM service users. Each PVC
endpoint is provisioned and managed with a technology-specific MIB as
described below.
Each technology-specific MIB has a table of PVC endpoints (indexed by
ifIndex and logical link address such as the DLCI or VPI/VCI). In
the absence of interworking, two endpoints are cross-connected via a
technology-specific cross connect table (e.g., the
atmVcCrossConnectTable in the ATM MIB). However, a connection
between a frame relay endpoint and an ATM endpoint requires a cross-
connect in the ATM IWF MIB.
The following sections describe the relationship between the
technology-specific MIBs and the FR/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB.
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
3.3.1. Frame Relay Service MIB
Frame relay PVC endpoints are provisioned as rows in the Frame Relay
Services MIB [19] endpoint table.
Each frame relay PVC endpoint is described in the frPVCEndptTable. A
connection between two frame relay endpoints is described by an entry
in the frame relay PVC cross-connect table frPVCConnectTable. The
frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier object of each endpoint points to the
frPVCConnectTable cross-connect table row for the connection.
In the case of an inter-worked connection, the
frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier object is set to zero. Instead, the
frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex object is set to the index of the FR/ATM
IWF cross-connect table row.
The frame relay PVC cross-connect table (frPVCConnectTable) does not
contain an entry for the FR/ATM inter-worked connection.
Note that the frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier and
frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex objects are set by the system as a side-
effect of cross-connect establishment. Consequently, these objects
are read-only.
3.3.2. Frame Relay DTE MIB
The Frame Relay DTE MIB described in [24] has no relevance to the
FR/ATM PVC Service IWF MIB.
3.3.3. ATM MIB
ATM PVC endpoints are provisioned as rows in the ATM MIB [21] virtual
connection link table.
Each ATM connection endpoint is described in the atmVclTable. A
connection between two ATM endpoints is described by an entry in the
ATM VCL cross-connect table atmVcCrossConnectTable. The
atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier object of each endpoint points to the
atmVcCrossConnectTable row for the connection.
In the case of an inter-worked connection, the
atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier object is set to zero. Instead, the
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier object in the frAtmIwfVclEntry is
set to the index of the applicable FR/ATM IWF cross-connect table
row.
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
Note that the frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier object is defined not
in the ATM MIB but in Section 5 of this MIB. Specifically, the
object is defined as a column object in a table that AUGMENTs the ATM
MIB VCL table.
The ATM VCL cross-connect table (atmVcCrossConnectTable) does not
contain an entry for the inter-worked connection.
Note that the atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier and
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier objects are set by the system as a
side-effect of cross-connect establishment. Consequently, these
objects are read-only.
3.3.4. IF MIB
The ifIndex defined in the IF MIB [22] identifies the specific frame
relay and ATM endpoint interfaces. The values frAtmIwfConnAtmPort
and frAtmIwfConnFrPort are used in this MIB as components in the
index list for the frAtmIwfConnectionTable rows.
3.4. Point to Multipoint Considerations
This MIB supports IWF implementations providing point-to-multipoint
functionality. All rows of the cross-connect table indexed by the
same frAtmIwfConnIndex MUST utilize the same
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor value.
A group of cross-connect table entries indexed by the same
frAtmIwfConnIndex value MUST agree on which service the multipoint
operation is offered. Two cases are possible:
(1) Many frame relay PVCs cross-connected to one ATM PVC, or
(2) One frame relay PVC cross-connected to many ATM PVCs
3.5. Theory of Operation
3.5.1. Creation Process
Multiple steps are required to create a frame relay to ATM cross-
connection. First, rows must be created in the following tables:
(1) The Frame Relay Service MIB frPVCEndptTable
(2) The ATM MIB atmVclTable
(3) The FR/ATM Service IWF MIB frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorTable
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
(4) The FR/ATM Service IWF MIB frAtmIwfConnectionTable
Second, the newly created rows are cross-linked.
Finally, the administrative and operational status objects are set to
'up(1)'.
A step-by-step example is provided to illustrate the creation
process. In this example, the term "Manager" refers to a network
management system that issues SNMP protocol actions to an "Agent".
The agent is integrated with the system that implements the frame
relay to ATM service IWF. In this example, the following cross-
connection is created:
+-----------------------------------+
+---------+ | FR/ATM PVC Service IWF |
| Frame | | ------------------------------ | +-----------+
| Relay | +--------> frAtmIwfConnIndex K <--------+ | ATM |
|Endpoint | | | V | | | Endpoint |
| ------- | | | | | | | --------- |
| DLCI X | | | +------------+ | | |VPI.VCI Q.R|
| on |<-+ | | | +->| on |
|ifIndex Y| | V | | ifIndex S |
+---------+ |frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndex L| +-----------+
+-----------------------------------+
Step 1 - Create the frame relay PVC endpoint
a) Manager requests creation of a new row in the frPVCEndptTable
b) Agent receives management request to create a row in
frPVCEndptTable for the frame relay side
c) A new row is created in frPVCEndptTable as follows:
- frPVCEndptConnectIdentifier initialized to zero
- frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex initialized to zero
- remaining row objects initialized as needed for DLCI X on
ifIndex Y
Step 2 - Create the ATM PVC endpoint
a) Agent receives management request to create a row in atmVclTable
for the ATM side
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
b) A new row is created in atmVclTable and frAtmIwfVclTable (the
AUGMENT to the atmVclTable) as follows:
- atmVclCrossConnectIdentifier initialized to zero
- frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier initialized to zero
- atmVclConnKind initialized to pvc(1)
- remaining row objects initialized as needed for VPI.VCI Q.R on
ifIndex S
Step 3 - Create the FR/ATM connection descriptor
a) If an existing connection descriptor is appropriate for the new
connection, go to Step 4 using the selected connection descriptor
index value L
b) Manager requests a new connection descriptor index value by
reading frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndexNext from the agent
c) Agent receives GET request for
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorIndexNext and responds with the next
available value L
d) Manager requests a new connection descriptor row entry using the
value L as the index
e) Agent receives SET request to create the
frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptorTable row entry causes the system to
create a row in the table.
Step 4 - Create the FR/ATM cross-connect
a) Manager requests a new cross-connect index value by reading
frAtmIwfConnIndexNext from the agent
b) Agent receives GET request for frAtmIwfConnIndexNext and responds
with the next available value K
c) Manager requests a new cross-connect row entry using the value K
as the index
d) Agent receives SET request to create the frAtmIwfConnectionTable
row entry (note: the frame relay and ATM PVC endpoints MUST exist
and be specified as part of the index fields for the row
'K.S.Q.R.Y.X')
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
e) System creates a row in frAtmIwfConnectionTable for the following
indices:
- frAtmIwfConnIndex of K
- frAtmIwfConnAtmPort of S
- frAtmIwfConnVpi of Q
- frAtmIwfConnVci of R
- frAtmIwfConnFrPort of Y
- frAtmIwfConnDlci of X
- frAtmIwfConnectionDescriptor of L
Step 5 - The system sets the frame relay PVC endpoint and ATM VCL
endpoint to point to the FR/ATM cross-connect row (as a side-effect
of Step 4).
a) System sets frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex to K
b) System sets frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier to K
Step 6 - Manager signals activation by issuing a SET for the
frAtmIwfConnAdminStatus object using the value of 'up(1)'
Step 7 - Agent receives SET request for frAtmIwfConnAdminStatus and
executes internal system mechanisms to activate each PVC segment and
the IWF cross-connect. The successful activation permits the agent to
respond with 'up(1)' when a GET request is received for the following
fields:
- frAtmIwfConnAtm2FrOperStatus
- frAtmIwfConnFr2AtmOperStatus
- atmVclOperStatus (Note: there is no comparable FRS MIB object)
3.5.2. Destruction Process
Destruction of the frame relay to ATM cross-connection is initiated
by the network management system. The agent's processing of the
request stimulates implementation-specific system clean-up actions.
Following removal of the row in the cross-connection table, the
frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier in the frAtmIwfVclTable (AUGMENT of
Rehbehn, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
^L
RFC 2955 FR to ATM Service Interworking MIB October 2000
the ATM MIB endpoint table) and frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex in the
Frame Relay Service MIB endpoint table are both re-initialized to
zero.
A step-by-step example is provided to illustrate the destruction
process.
Step 1 - Manager requests destruction of an existing row in the
frAtmIwfConnectionTable by setting frAtmIwfConnRowStatus to
destroy(6)
Step 2 - Agent receives the SET request and performs implementation-
specific system clean-up actions for the cross-connection row
Step 3 - System updates the relevant cross connect information for
the frame relay PVC endpoint by setting frPVCEndptAtmIwfConnIndex to
0
Step 4 - System updates the relevant cross connect information for
the ATM PVC endpoint as follows:
a) System sets frAtmIwfVclCrossConnectIdentifier to 0
b) System sets atmVclOperStatus to 'down(2)' (Note: there is no
comparable FRS MIB object)
Following the destruction of the FR/ATM cross-connection entry, the
manager MAY set the frPVCConnectRowStatus and/or atmVclRowStatus to
destroy(6) the associated endpoint entries.
3.5.3. Modification Process
At the discretion of the agent, a FR/ATM cross-connect may be
reconfigured by adding and/or deleting leafs to/from the IWF topology
as per the FR/ATM IWF cross-connect creation/destruction procedures.
Reconfiguration of traffic/service category parameter values requires
release of the FR/ATM IWF cross-connect before those parameter values
may be changed for individual frame relay or ATM endpoint segments.

MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The FrAtmIwfConnectionEntry provides an entry for
an interworking connection between a frame relay
PVC and one or more ATM PVCs, or an ATM PVC and
one or more frame relay PVCs. A single frame
relay PVC connected to a single ATM PVC is
referred to as a `point-to-point' connection and
is represented by a single row in the FR/ATM IWF
Connection Table. The case of a single frame
relay PVC connected to multiple ATM PVCs (or
single ATM PVC connected to multiple frame relay
PVCs) is referred to as a `point-to-multipoint'
connection and is represented by multiple rows in
the FR/ATM IWF Connection Table.
The object frAtmIwfConnIndex uniquely identifies
each point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
connection. The manager obtains the
frAtmIwfConnIndex value by reading the
frAtmIwfConnIndexNext object.
After a frAtmIwfConnIndex is assigned for the
connection, the manager creates one or more rows
in the Cross Connect Table; one for each cross-
connection between the frame relay PVC and an ATM
PVC. In the case of `point-to-multipoint'
connections, all rows are indexed by the same
frAtmIwfConnIndex value and MUST refer to the same
frame relay PVC or ATM PVC respectively. An entry
can be created only when at least one pair of
frame relay and ATM PVCs exist.
A row can be established by one-step set-request
with all required parameter values and
frAtmIwfConnRowStatus set to createAndGo(4). The

Agent should perform all error checking as needed.
A pair of cross-connected PVCs, as identified by a
particular value of the indexes, is released by
setting frAtmIwfConnRowStatus to destroy(6). The
Agent may release all associated resources. The
manager may remove the related PVCs thereafter.
Indexes are persistent across reboots of the
system."

10. 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.
No managed objects in this MIB contain sensitive information.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, 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.
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
(change/create/delete) them.
