Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International

Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized System for worldwide

standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC patticipate in the

development of International Standards through technical committees established

by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.

ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the

joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication

as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 10742 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee
ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.

Introduction
This document is intended to become one of a set of International Standards

produced to facilitate the interconnection of open Systems. The set of International

Standards covers the Services, protocols and management information required to
achieve such interconnection.
This International Standard is positioned with respect to other related
Specifications by the layers defined in the ßeference Mode/ for Open System

Interconnection (ISO 7498). In particular, it is concerned with the definition of Data

Link Layer management information.

1 Scope

This International Standard provides the specification of management information within an Open System related

to those operations of the OSI Data Link Layer specified by the specifications in this document. Specifics on how

Data Link layer management is accomplished is beyond the scope of this International Standard. Data Link Layer

management is defined by specifying:

l the managed Object class definition of Data Link Layer Managed Objects following guidelines put forth by the

Structure of Management Information (ISO/IEC 10165)

the relationship of the Managed Objects and attributes to both the Operation of the layer and to other objects

and attributes of the layer, and

the action type operations on the attributes of Data Link Layer Managed Objects that are available to OSI

Systems Management.

5 Elements of Data Link Layer Management Information
5.1 Managed Object Hierarchy
5.1 .l Summary of managed objects

The following set of common managed objects are defined in this International Standard for the OS1 Data Link

Layer:
The Data Link Subsystem managed Object (datalinksubsystem) (see 5.3, page 9).

The Data Link Entity managed Object (datalinkEntity) (see 5.4, page 10). (This managed Object is never

instantiated.)
The Data Link Service Access Point managed Object (dLSAP) (see 5.5, page 11).
The LAPB Data Link Entity managed Object (IAPBDLE) (see 5.6, page 12).
The LAPB Single Link Protocol Machine managed Object (sLPPM) (see 5.7, page 14).

The LAPB Single Link Protocol Connection managed Object (SLPConnection) (see 5.8, page 15).

f )

The LAPB Single Link Protocol Connection Initial Values managed Object (sLPConnectionlVM0) (see 5.9,

Cl)
page 22).
The Mac Data Link Entity managed Object (mACDLE) (see 5.10, page 23).

The MAC managed Object /mAC) (see 5.11, page 24). (This managed Object is never instantiated.)

The LLC Data Link Entity managed Object (ILCDLE) (see 5.12, page 27).

The LLC Connectionless Protocol Machine managed Object (ILCCLPM)(see 5.13, page 28). (This

managed Object is never instantiated.)

The LLC Connection-mode Protocol Machine managed Object (ILCCOPM) (see 5.14, page 29). (This

managed Object is never instantiated.)
The Resource Typeld managed Object (resourceTypeld) (see annex B)

The Scanner managed Object (Scanner) (see annex B)(This managed Object is never instantiated.)

The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Metric Monitor managed Object (eWMAMetricMonitor) (see

annex B)

These Managed Objects represent OSI Managements view of those elements of an Open System which support

the OSI Data Link Service subject to OSI management operations. Other MOs may be defined under Data Link

Subsystem using these generic specifications.
5.12 Containment hierarchy

The containment hierarchy is illustrated in figure 1. Managed objects which tan have multiple instances are

illustrated by shadowed (multiple) boxes. These objects are defined in detail in the following clauses of this

International Standard.

Figure 1 - Data Link Layer Containment Hierarchy

The datalink Subsystem MO is subordinate to the System MO. The LAPB DLE, MAC DLE and LLC DLE MOs

represent protocol- and media-specific communication entities.

The SLP PM MO represents the Operation of the protocol machine for the Single-link procedures specified in ISO

7776. The MAC, LLC CL PM and LLC CO PM MOs are generic managed objects from which MAC-specific and

LLC-specific protocol machine managed objects tan be derived, e.g. for CSMAKD MAC specified in ISO/IEC

8802-3, and for LLC Type 1 and LLC Type 2 protocol Operation specified in ISO 8802-2. The SLP Connection

MO represent the management view of connections established using the SLP.
51.3 Relationships
5.1.3.1 General

The use of relationship attributes is illustrated by examples in annex D. The following describes the individual

relationships in more detail.
5.1.3.2 DLE

There is a relationship between a ‘DLE’ MO (i.e. an LAPB, LLC and MAC DLE MO) and the MO representing the

underlying Service provider. This is represented by the attribute ProviderEntityNames inherited from the generic

datalinkEntity MO. This is a read-write attribute which allows a manager to configure which entities are to be

used to provide Services to this entity. For example, a LAPB DLE MO might be configured with the local

distinguished name of a Ph-Entity MO or an LLC DLE MO with the name of a MAC DLE MO (e.g. one containing

a CSMAKD MAC MO).

Additionally, a ‘DLE’ MO has a IocalSapNames attribute inherited from GMI:communicationsEntity. This is a read-

only attribute which contains the local distinguished name(s) of SAP MO(s), representing the Point at which

Services are provided to the entity. For example, in a LAPB DLE MO IocalSapNames might contain the name of a

Ph-SAP MO or, in an LLC DLE MO, the name of a dLSAP MO contained in a MAC DLE MO.

The SN-SetviceProvider attribute of the Network layer Linkage and X25PLE-DTE MOs contains the local

distinguished name of a ‘DLE’ MO.
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
0 ISO/IEC
ISOIIEC 10742 : 1994 (E)
5.1.3.3 dlSAP

There is a relationship between a dlSAP MO and the managed objects that represent the (Network layer) user

entities that are using the SAP. This is represented by the UserEntityNames attribute inherited from GMI:sapl.

For example, in an dlSAP MO contained in an LAPB DLE MO, UserEntityNames might contain the distinguished

name of an X25PLE-DTE MO.

The SN-SAP attribute of the Network layer Linkage and X25PLE-DTE MOs contains the distinguished name of a

dlSAP MO.
5.1.3.4 sLPConnection

There is a relationship between an sLPConnection MO and the MO representing the underlying Ph-Connection.

This represented by the attribute underlyingConnectionNames inherited from GMI:singlePeerConnection.

5.1.4 Minimum Event Filtering Capabilities

The Data Link Layer management definitions embodied in this International Standard imply the frequent, and

possibly excessive, generation of notifications during regular layer Operation. These notifications are especially

useful for effective fault management, where they facilitate the tracing and pinpointing of error situations. To

avoid the excessive dissemination of these event reports under normal operating conditions, it is advisable for a

managed System to have, as a minimum, the capability to perform discrimination based upon:

The Source managed Object class.

The Object identifier values in the probable Cause and specif ic Problems field of communication a ,larms.

5.1.5 Use of Optional Fields

Where reference is made in this International Standard to ASN.l Syntax defined in DMI or GMI, only the following

fields shall be employed.
1) Those which are not OPTIONAL in the ASN.l Syntax.

2) Those which are OPTIONAL, but whose use is explicitly required by this International Standard.

3) Those which are OPTIONAL, but whose ASN.l type is SET OF ManagementExtension.
The use of any other fields is prohibited.

DEFINED AS
Managed Object class imports the ISO/IEC 101652 objectcreation
and/or objectDeletion notifications. Used as follows:
objectcreation - Generated whenever an instance of the managed
Object class is created. Implernentations may optionally
include the sourcelndicator Parameter in the notification.
If creation occured as a result of internal Operation of
the resource, the value ‘resourceOperation’ is used. If
creation occured in response to a management Operation, the
value ‘managementoperation’ is used. A value of ‘unknown’
may be returned if it is not possible to determine the Source
of the Operation. None of the other optional Parameters are
used.
objectDeletion - Generated whenever an instance of the managed
Object class is deleted. Implernentations may optionally
include the sourcelndicator Parameter in the notification.
If deletion occured as a result of internal Operation of
the resource, the value ‘resourceOperation’ is used. If
deletion occured in response to a management Operation, the
value ‘managementOperation’ is used. A value of ‘unknown’
may be returned if it is not possible to determine the Source
of the Operation. None of the other optional Parameters are
used.;
