ENTERASYS-VIRTUAL-SWITCH-BONDING-MIB

2012-03-13

This MIB module defines a portion of the SNMP MIB under Enterasys Networks' enterprise OID pertaining to Virtual Switch Bonding (VSB). VSB is meant to accomplish two similar goals: to allow the aggregation of two or more chassis-type products into a single, virtual network device; and similarly to support building a stack of two or more stand-alone-type products. The key operational benefit behind this (and similar) technologies is the ability to provide transparent Layer 2 physical redundancy (redundancy of both links and network devices) all the way to the edge of the network.

Table details

etsysVsbChassisTable

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1

Index: etsysVsbChassisIndex

This table contains the configuration information for the physical chassis of a virtual switch. Adding a chassis to a virtual switch is initiated by assigning a virtual switch system ID to an entry. The entry index is also the chassis ID in the virtual switch. A virtual switch ID can only be administratively assigned to one entry in the table because a chassis cannot simultaneously be a member of multiple virtual switches, or have multiple chassis IDs in the same virtual switch. A value of 'inconsistentValue' will be returned if attempts are made to assign the same virtual switch ID to more than one entry. Chassis ID is also used to indicate relative position in the virtual switch, where chassis 1 is assigned slot 1 through n, chassis 2 is assigned slots n+1 through n+m, where n and m are the max number of slots for chassis 1 and 2 respectively.

etsysVsbChassisIndex

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.1

Unsigned32

The identifier of this chassis in the virtual switch. This value is in the range between 1..etsysVsbSystemMaxChassis.

etsysVsbChassisSystemId

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.2

VsbIdAn octet string value that uniquely identifies a virtual switch. A string of zero length means no ID is configured for this device. SIZE (0 | 8) · OCTET STRING

The virtual switch ID for this switch.

etsysVsbChassisSerialNum

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.3

SnmpAdminStringAn octet string containing administrative information, preferably in human-readable form. To facilitate internationalization, this information is represented using the ISO/IEC IS 10646-1 character set, encoded as an octet string using the UTF-8 transformation format described in [RFC2279]. Since additional code points are added by amendments to the 10646 standard from time to time, implementations must be prepared to encounter any code point from 0x00000000 to 0x7fffffff. Byte sequences that do not correspond to the valid UTF-8 encoding of a code point or are outside this range are prohibited. The use of control codes should be avoided. When it is necessary to represent a newline, the control code sequence CR LF should be used. The use of leading or trailing white space should be avoided. For code points not directly supported by user interface hardware or software, an alternative means of entry and display, such as hexadecimal, may be provided. For information encoded in 7-bit US-ASCII, the UTF-8 encoding is identical to the US-ASCII encoding. UTF-8 may require multiple bytes to represent a single character / code point; thus the length of this object in octets may be different from the number of characters encoded. Similarly, size constraints refer to the number of encoded octets, not the number of characters represented by an encoding. Note that when this TC is used for an object that is used or envisioned to be used as an index, then a SIZE restriction MUST be specified so that the number of sub-identifiers for any object instance does not exceed the limit of 128, as defined by [RFC3416]. Note that the size of an SnmpAdminString object is measured in octets, not characters. SIZE (0..32) · OCTET STRING · hint 255t

The serial number string for the physical chassis or standalone device in a bonded setup.

etsysVsbChassisFirstSlotNumber

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.4

Unsigned32

The administratively assigned first slot position in the virtual switch. Manually initializing chassis position will override automatic positioning by the VSB system. In the event another chassis already occupies the position, this chassis will not be added to the bond. This value is in the range of 0|1..etsysVsbSystemMaxSlotNumber.

etsysVsbChassisLocalSlotList

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.5

VsbSlotListEach octet within this value specifies a set of eight slots, with the first octet specifying slots 1 through 8, the second octet specifying slots 9 through 16, etc. Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the lowest numbered slot, and the least significant bit represents the highest numbered slot. Thus, each slot of the virtual switch is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. If that bit has a value of '1' then that slot is included in the set of slots; the slot is not included if its bit has a value of '0'. · OCTET STRING

The set of slots local to this chassis that are present.

etsysVsbChassisSystemSlotList

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.6

VsbSlotListEach octet within this value specifies a set of eight slots, with the first octet specifying slots 1 through 8, the second octet specifying slots 9 through 16, etc. Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the lowest numbered slot, and the least significant bit represents the highest numbered slot. Thus, each slot of the virtual switch is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. If that bit has a value of '1' then that slot is included in the set of slots; the slot is not included if its bit has a value of '0'. · OCTET STRING

The set of local and bonded slots that are present.

etsysVsbChassisStatus

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.7

VsbChassisStatus1 = up2 = down3 = incomplete4 = inactiveThis textual convention describes chassis bonding status. up(1) indicates chassis is present and bonded to all virtual switch members. down(2) indicates chassis is not present. incomplete(3) indicates chassis is present but not bonded to all virtual switch members. inactive(4) indicates chassis is present but not active in the bond. · Integer32

The bonding status of this chassis.

etsysVsbChassisLastBondTime

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.8

TimeStampThe value of the sysUpTime object at which a specific occurrence happened. The specific occurrence must be defined in the description of any object defined using this type. If sysUpTime is reset to zero as a result of a re- initialization of the network management (sub)system, then the values of all TimeStamp objects are also reset. However, after approximately 497 days without a re- initialization, the sysUpTime object will reach 2^^32-1 and then increment around to zero; in this case, existing values of TimeStamp objects do not change. This can lead to ambiguities in the value of TimeStamp objects. · TimeTicks

Last sysUpTime at which this chassis was connected to all other members of the virtual switch.

etsysVsbChassisSharedSecret

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.9

SnmpAdminStringAn octet string containing administrative information, preferably in human-readable form. To facilitate internationalization, this information is represented using the ISO/IEC IS 10646-1 character set, encoded as an octet string using the UTF-8 transformation format described in [RFC2279]. Since additional code points are added by amendments to the 10646 standard from time to time, implementations must be prepared to encounter any code point from 0x00000000 to 0x7fffffff. Byte sequences that do not correspond to the valid UTF-8 encoding of a code point or are outside this range are prohibited. The use of control codes should be avoided. When it is necessary to represent a newline, the control code sequence CR LF should be used. The use of leading or trailing white space should be avoided. For code points not directly supported by user interface hardware or software, an alternative means of entry and display, such as hexadecimal, may be provided. For information encoded in 7-bit US-ASCII, the UTF-8 encoding is identical to the US-ASCII encoding. UTF-8 may require multiple bytes to represent a single character / code point; thus the length of this object in octets may be different from the number of characters encoded.

Note that when this TC is used for an object that is used or envisioned to be used as an index, then a SIZE restriction MUST be specified so that the number of sub-identifiers for any object instance does not exceed the limit of 128, as defined by [RFC3416]. Note that the size of an SnmpAdminString object is measured in octets, not characters. SIZE (0..32) · OCTET STRING · hint 255t

The secret shared between the chassis in a virtual switch used to authenticate the bonding protocol data being transmitted between chassis. On a read operation this object MUST return a zero length string. Writing this object with a zero length string clears the secret.

etsysVsbChassisSecretEntered

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.10

TruthValue1 = true2 = falseRepresents a boolean value. · Integer32

true(1) - Indicates that etsysVsbChassisSharedSecret was last set with some value other than the empty string. false(2) - Indicates that etsysVsbChassisSharedSecret has never been set, or was last set to the empty string.

etsysVsbChassisLfrOperPriority

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.2.1.1.11

Unsigned32

Operational priority assigned to the associated chassis identifier. When responding to a VSB link failure, the currently operational chassis with the highest priority is allowed to remain operational. This value is in the range between 1..255.

etsysVsbPortTable

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.3.1

Index: ifIndex

A table of configuration and status objects for each port that supports Bonding Port mode.

from IF-MIB

ifIndex

InterfaceIndexA unique value, greater than zero, for each interface or interface sub-layer in the managed system. It is recommended that values are assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each interface sub-layer must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's network management system to the next re-initialization. (1..2147483647) · Integer32 · hint d

A unique value, greater than zero, for each interface. It is recommended that values are assigned contiguously starting from 1. The value for each interface sub-layer must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the entity's network management system to the next re- initialization.

etsysVsbPortAdminStatus

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.3.1.1.1

INTEGER1 = up2 = down · Integer32

The desired state of the bonding port for this ifIndex.

etsysVsbPortOperStatus

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.83.1.3.1.1.2

INTEGER1 = up2 = down3 = highLatency4 = probeLoop5 = probeTimeout6 = portInstability · Integer32

The operational status of the bonding port for this ifIndex. If the state is NOT up, then it is down for the stated reason, if known. If etsysVsbPortAdminStatus is down(2), then etsysVsbPortOperStatus should be down(2). If etsysVsbPortAdminStatus is changed to up(1) the etsysVsbPortOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive bonding traffic. It should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state.
