CISCO-MGX82XX-DSX3-BERT-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.

    STATUS     current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This variable determines BERT pattern to be transmitted
        on the interface identified by dsx3bertLine or dsx3bertPort.

	Bit error measurements are widely used to assess the 
	performance of a digital transmission equipment.  Precise 
	error measurement requires that the bit pattern transmitted 
	is known before hand.  During BER testing a known pattern is 
	transmitted on a interface.  The pattern received on the 
	receive side is checked for bit errors.  In order to measure 
	the performance of digital line under real condition 
	this patterns should also simulate real traffic as closely 
	as possible.  There are two categories of test patterns that 
	can be generated by a BERT equipment: repetitive and 
	pseudo-random.  The former test patterns are zeroes or ones 
	or alternating zeroes and ones; the latter patterns are 
	exponential numbers and conform to CCITT/ITU O.151, O.153.

	There are different patterns for different interface speeds.
	This object allows the user to configure this BERT patterns.

	The supported values are :

	  Repetitive Patterns

	allOnes(1): All Ones(Continuous Marks).  This is repeating
		pattern of ones(...1111...).  This provides 
		testing of maximum power level requirements.
		The all one pattern test causes the repeater 
		to consume the maximum amount of power. 
		If there is insufficient DC span power then the
		repeater may begin to fail.
		Typically this pattern is used for a simple
		continuity check.  It may also be used to detect
		the presence of unwanted loop in the network.

	allZeros(2): All Zeroes(Continuous spaces).  This is 
		repeating pattern of zeros(...000...). 
		The use of this pattern is to test and verify 
		that the ones density policing mechanism is 
		functioning properly.  This pattern must be 
		used in circuits optioned for B8ZS.

	alternateOneZero(3): Alternate one/zero pattern(..1010..).
                This pattern produces a 50% ones density. It is
		used to stress the repeater's DC power
		consumption.

	doubleOneZero(4): Double alternate one/zero(..10101010..).

	threeInTwentyFour(5): This is a 24 bit pattern which 
                contains 3 ones. The largest string of consecutive 
                zeros is fifteen.
		This pattern is used primarily to test timing(clock)
		recovery and may be used framed or unframed for that
		purpose.  This pattern covers both the minimum ones
		density and the maximum number of consecutive zeros.

	oneInSixteen(6): N repetitive pattern, 1 in 16.

	oneInEight(7): This is an eight bit pattern which contains
		single one.
                This pattern is used primarily to test timing(clock)
		recovery and may be used framed or unframed for that
		purpose.
		This pattern is used to verify frame synchronization
		by providing the minimum acceptable pulse density.


	oneInFour(8): This pattern is standard loop up remote code.
		Typically it is used when the loop up remote test 
		fails to place the remote system into loopback.

        sfLoopUp  (9):  D4/SF Loopback activate/up
		        Valid only for T1 line.
        sfLoopDown(10): D4/SF Loopback deactivate/down
		        Valid only for T1 line.
        threeBit   (11): Repetitive patterns of 3 bits in length.
        fourBit    (12): Repetitive patterns of 4 bits in length.
        fiveBit    (13): Repetitive patterns of 5 bits in length.
        sixBit     (14): Repetitive patterns of 6 bits in length.
        sevenBit   (15): Repetitive patterns of 7 bits in length.
        fracT1LoopUp(16): Fractional T1 Loopback activate/up.
        fracT1LoopDown(17): Fractional T1 Loopback deactivate/down.

        nineBit      (18): Repetitive patterns of 9 bits in length.
        tenBit       (19): Repetitive patterns of 10 bits in length.
        elevenBit    (20): Repetitive patterns of 11 bits in length.
        fifteenBit   (21): Repetitive patterns of 15 bits in length.
        seventeenBit (22): Repetitive patterns of 17 bits in length.
        eighteenBit  (23): Repetitive patterns of 18 bits in length.
        twentyBit    (24): Repetitive patterns of 20 bits in length.
        twentyBitQRSS(25): 20 bits of Quasi Random Signal Source.
        twentyOneBit (26): Repetitive patterns of 21 bits in length.
        twentyTwoBit (27): Repetitive patterns of 22 bits in length.
        twentyThreeBit (28): Repetitive patterns of 23 bits in length.
        twentyFiveBit  (29): Repetitive patterns of 25 bits in length.
        twentyEightBit (30): Repetitive patterns of 28 bits in length.
        twentyNineBit  (31): Repetitive patterns of 29 bits in length.
        thirtyOneBit   (32): Repetitive patterns of 32 bits in length.

    DESCRIPTION 
       "This object is used for injecting continuous errors into 
	transmitted BERT pattern.  The errors are inserted in a BERT 
        pattern sent, in order to do sanity check on receive interface 
        in the event that no bit errors are detected.  Injecting errors 
        allows users to stress communication links and to check the 
	functionality of error monitoring equipment along the path.
        Once set to send continuous errors, errors will be inserted 
        at the configured rate until set to errorInsertionDisabled(1). 
      
        The possible values are :
	
	errorInsertionDisabled(1) : no bit errors are inserted.

	oneInTen(2)	: insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
		          error per 10 bits (10^-1) transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerTwo(3) : insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
	                      error per 100 bits (10^-2) transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerThree(4): insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
	                       error per 1000 bits (10^-3) transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerFour(5): insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
		              error per 10000 (10^-4) bits transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerFive(6): insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
		              error per 100000 bits (10^-5) transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerSix(7) : insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
		              error per 1000000 bits (10^-6) transmitted.

	oneInTenPowerSeven(8): insert bit errors at the rate of 1 bit
		               error per 10,000,000 (10^-7)bits transmitted. "
