DLSW-MIB Table View

This table defines the transport connections
that will be initiated or accepted by this
DLSw.  Structure of masks allows wildcard
definition for a collection of transport
connections by a conceptual row.  For a
specific transport connection, there may
          
be multiple of conceptual rows match the
transport address.  The `best' match will
the one to determine the characteristics
of the transport connection.

A list of transport connections.   It is optional but
desirable for the agent to keep an entry for some
period of time after the transport connection is
disconnected.  This allows the manager to capture
additional useful information about the connection, in
particular, statistical information and the cause of the
disconnection.

This table defines the TCP transport connections that
will be either initiated by or accepted by this DSLw.
It augments the entries in dlswTConnConfigTable whose domain
is dlswTCPDomain.

A list of TCP transport connections.   It is optional

The list of interfaces on which DLSw is active.

This table contains locations of MAC addresses.
They could be either verified or not verified,
local or remote, and configured locally or learned
from either Capabilities Exchange messages or
directory searches.

This table contains locations of NetBIOS names.
They could be either verified or not verified,
local or remote, and configured locally or learned
from either Capabilities Exchange messages or
directory searches.

This table is used to retrieve all entries in the
dlswDirMacTable that match a given MAC address,
in the order of the best matched first, the
second best matched second, and so on, till
no more entries match the given MAC address.

This table is used to retrieve all entries in the
dlswDirNBTable that match a given NetBIOS name,
in the order of the best matched first, the
second best matched second, and so on, till
no more entries match the given NetBIOS name.

This table is the circuit representation in the DLSw
entity. Virtual data links are used to represent any internal
end stations.  There is a conceptual row associated with
each data link.  Thus, for circuits without an intervening
transport connection, there are two conceptual rows
for each circuit.
          
The table consists of the circuits being established,
established, and as an implementation option, circuits that
have been disconnected.  For circuits carried over
transport connections, an entry is created after
the CUR_cs was sent or received.  For circuits between
two locally attached devices, or internal virtual MAC
addresses, an entry is created when the equivalent of
CUR_cs sent/received status is reached.
          
End station 1 (S1) and End station 2 (S2) are used to
represent the two end stations of the circuit.
S1 is always an end station which is locally attached.
S2 may be locally attached or remote.  If it is locally
attached, the circuit will be represented by two rows indexed
by (A, B) and (B, A) where A & B are the relevant MACs/SAPs.
          
The table may be used to store the causes of disconnection of
circuits.  It is recommended that the oldest disconnected
circuit entry be removed from this table when the memory
space of disconnected circuits is needed.

The table defines the virtual MAC addresses for those
SDLC link stations that participate in data link switching.
