Reference: NID2982
This MIB specifies objects for configuring Ethernet-like
services and devices. It models trail termination points
(TTPs) for Ethernet Transport Service as virtual interfaces.
It also includes objects for configuration of the physical
interfaces (ports). 1+1 protected transport is provided
using virtual interfaces as interface groups. Physical and
logical interfaces are connected to Forwarding Functions.
The configuration model consists of the following primary
tables:
ethDeviceTable. This table contains one entry for every
device (board). Its primary function is to provide
capability information about the objects such as
forwarding functions and interfaces on the device.
ethIfTable. Table with all interfaces, both physical (dot3),
logical (ETS), and virtual ports as interface group.
The table contains an entry for every port. It contains
configuration objects common to all port types.
ethDot3Table. Table that contains an entry for every
physical port. The table holds the data related to the
physical port. Note that the port is also represented in
the ethIfTable, and is referenced by the same index in
both tables.
ethEtsTable. Table that contains one entry for every
Ethernet Transport Service Trail Termination Point (ETS
TTP). A TTP is used to connect a port to a remote port
using a connection over the DTM network. Note that the
port is also represented in the ethIfTable, and is
referenced by the same index in both tables.
ethIfgTable. This table contains one entry for every
interface group. An interface group is a virtual port
that represents the transport over two paths to a remote
interface group for 1+1 protected transport. The two
paths are implemented using two ports from the
ethEtsTable.
ethFwdFuncTable. This table contains an entry for every
forwarding function. Physical and ETS ports must be
associated with a forwarding function. The forwarding
function then forwards Ethernet frames between the
different associated ports. Configuration objects on the
forwarding function and the associated interfaces control
how frames are forwarded to the different ports.
In addition to the primary tables, there are some other
tables:
ethFwdDiffservTable. Configuration of differentiated service
code points to flow group map for a forwarding function.
ethIfQueueTable. Configuration of a port's queues.
ethIfQDropThresholdTable. Configuration of drop thresholds
for combination of traffic class and drop precedence per
interface.
ethIfVLANSetsTable. Configuration of a the port's VLAN
membership.
ethEtsTConnectionTable. References to connections that are
terminating in a Trail Termination Point.
ethEtsIndexLookupTable. Reverse-lookup of an entry in the
ethEtsTable based on known DSTI.
The following two tables contains information regarding the
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol:
ethFwdRstpTable. The table contains data related to the
bridge for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. This table
is indexed with the same index as the ethFwdTable.
ethIfRstpTable. The table contains data related to the port
for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. This table is
indexed with the same index as the ethIfTable (and
ethDot3Table and ethEtsTable).
