CISCO-IF-LOOPBACK-MIB device MIB details by Cisco

CISCO-IF-LOOPBACK-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

    DESCRIPTION
       "This object specifies the type of loopback to be established.
       This object is required in order to complete the creation of a
       row in this table. It cannot be modified when the cifLRowStatus
       is active(1).

       Possible values are :
                
       farEndLineLoopback(1): This loopback occurs at the CPE upon
                receiving a special code from the
                device which initiates the loopback.
                Upon receiving the loop activation request
                code, CPE enters a Line loop mode in which it
                returns the entire line back to the initiator.
                The CPE will continue to return the data
                back to the initiator until it receives
                a loopback deactivation request code.

       farEndPayloadLoopback(2): This loopback occurs at the CPE
                upon receiving a special code from the
                device which initiates the loopback.
                Upon receiving the loop activation request
                code, CPE enters a Payload loop mode in which it
                returns the Payload of the received data back 
                to the initiator.
                The CPE will continue to return the data
                back to the initiator until it receives
                loopback deactivation request code. 
        
       remoteLineLoopback(3): This loopback is established at the 
                Near-end. In this loopback the entire line is looped 
                back to the Far-end with a) bit-sequence integrity 
                maintained,
                b) no change in framing, and c) no removal of bi-
                polar violations.    

       remotePayloadLoopback(4): This loopback is established at 
                the Near-end.  In this loopback the signal that is 
                returned to the Far-end consists of the payload of 
                the received signal (with bit sequence integrity 
                retained) and newly generated framing information.                             
        
       localLoopback(5): This is also known as metallic loopback.
                This loopback is used for checking the
                internal circuitry of the T3/E3, T1/E1 
                device.  Only for physical lines.  "

    DESCRIPTION
       "This object specifies the type of the end device and
       the type of mechanism used to establish the loopback.
       Loopback type may not be modified once the farend loopback
       is established. 

       Latching Loopback: Latching Loopback is appropriate with
       64 kbit/s DS0-A rate.  Once invoked by a specific activation
       sequence, it typically remains in effect until released by
       another specific code sequence.

       non-latching loopback:  Non latching activation involves
       continuous transmission of loopback command codes, followed
       by test data interspersed with command codes.
        
       nonLatchOCUwithOneDevice(1): Non-latching OCU with 
                one device.

       nonLatchOCUwithChainDevices(2): Non-latching OCU 
                with chain of devices.

       nonLatchCSU(3): Non-latching CSU.

       nonLatchDSU(4): Non-latching DSU.

       latchDS0Drop(5): Latching DS0-DP Drop device.

       latchDS0Line(6): Latching DS0-DP line device.

       latchOCU(7): Latching OCU.

       latchCSU(8): Latching CSU.

       latchDSU(9): Latching DSU.

       latchDSU(9): Latching DSU .

       latchHL96(10): Latching HL96 device.

       v54PN127Polynomial(8): For fractional T1.
                This loopback is based on 
                CCITT-ITU V.54 and is 
                used to place either a single 
                DS0 or a DS0 Bundle(N*DS0) in 
                loopback mode.

       lineInband(12): This is used to loop back the
                entire T1 line at the far end.
                This is a repeating 5-bit
                pattern(00001), i.e. 00001000010001....
                                      
       lineLoopbackESF(13): This loopback results in a full
                1.544Mbit/s loopback of the 
                incoming signal at the far end.
                The loopback is activated (latched) and
                deactivated by a bit sequence defined in
                ANSI T1.403 - 1995.
                This corresponds to Facility Data Link
                (FDL) loopbacks on a T1 channel.
                This causes a repeating, 16-bit ESF data
                link code word (00001110 11111111) to be
                sent to the remote end requesting that it 
                enter into a network line loopback.

       payloadLoopbackESF(14): This loopback results in 
                1.536 Mbit/s
                loopback of the payload of the incoming
                signal at the far end. The loopback
                is activated(latched) and deactivated
                by a bit sequence defined in
                ANSI T1.403 - 1995.
                This corresponds to Facility Data Link
                (FDL) loopbacks on a T1 channel.
                This causes a repeating, 16-bit ESF data
                link code word (00010100 11111111) to be
                sent to the remote end requesting that it 
                enter into a network payload loopback.

       noCode (15): LoopBack is on this device - NearEnd.

       lineLoopbackFEAC(16): The FEAC channel is used to request 
                a line loopback
                at the Far-end. Loopback activate and 
                de-activate are specified using the 
                code-words specified in ANSI T1.404-1994. 

       smartJackInband(17): Inband loop code for SmartJack (a Telco owned
                device that represents the demarcation point of T1 service),
                Ref: TR-TSY-000312"
