What Is ZHONE-INTERFACE-TRANSLATION-MIB?

ZHONE-INTERFACE-TRANSLATION-MIB provides translation tables that map Zhone equipment's physical shelf/slot/port/subport addressing scheme to and from the standard SNMP ifIndex used elsewhere in the interface MIB stack, with a row created automatically whenever an ifIndex is created. It exposes lookup/configuration data rather than performance counters: the physical-to-logical (and logical-to-physical) index-translation table, plus an ifStackDefaultTable that supplies default ifAdminStatus values and documents interface stacking relationships. Its monitoring value is indirect -- it doesn't report hardware health itself, but it is essential plumbing that lets NMS tools correctly correlate ifTable/IF-MIB statistics (like ifOperStatus or traffic counters) back to a physical shelf/slot/port, so an admin uses it to identify exactly which physical port an alarming ifIndex corresponds to. It explicitly depends on and extends the standard IETF IF-MIB (ifTable, ifIndex, ifStackTable) rather than standing alone. It is deployed on Zhone multi-slot access/aggregation shelves where physical port identification by shelf/slot/port/subport needs to be cross-referenced with logical SNMP interface indexes. Engineers can download the ZHONE-INTERFACE-TRANSLATION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ZHONE-INTERFACE-TRANSLATION-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ifIndex-to-shelf/slot/port/subport translation
  • interface stacking relationships
  • default ifAdminStatus for new interfaces

Supported Devices

  • Zhone multi-slot access/aggregation shelf

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were provided for this module; based on the description, an admin would look up a given ifIndex in the shelf/slot/port/subport translation table to identify which physical line card and port an ifTable alarm or counter belongs to, and check the ifStackDefaultTable to confirm the default admin-status inherited by newly created interface rows.

OIDs
OID symbolicOID numericTypeAccessDescription
NUM ifIndexNext1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.1InterfaceIndexread-onlyContains the next available ifIndex.
physicalToIfIndexTable1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2not-accessibleTable to translate from shelf/slot/physical port/subport to the interface number (zhoneIfIndex). The physical port is the port number on the card selected by shelf/slot. The role of subport may vary depending on the card type, but is included to allow maximum flexibility and future exhancements. This table has been replaced by a zhonePhysicalToIfIndexTable. The objects in this table have been replaced by zhonePortIndex, zhoneSubPortIndex, zhonePhysicalIfIndex, zhoneIfType, and zhoneIfTypeExtension.
physicalToIfIndexEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2.1not-accessibleThe physical table is indexed by shelf/slot/physical port /subport. In instances where there is no subport the value of subport should be set to zero. This entry has been replaced by zhonePhysicalToIfIndexEntry.
I32 pportIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2.1.1Integer32not-accessibleThe port number of the physical port on the card or device. The numbering should start at 1 for the first port on the device and proceed sequentially. This object has been replaced by zhonePortIndex.
I32 subPortIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2.1.2Integer32not-accessibleThis entry provides flexibility to define more than one interface on a port. The most common use of subport will be to handle structured TDM lines allowing for example an interface number to be assign to each DS1 in a DS3. Subport may also be used to handle other situations where a physical port contains more than one inetrface. This object has replaced by zhoneSubPortIndex.
NUM zhoneIfIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2.1.3InterfaceIndexread-onlyThe interface number of the pport or pport/subport that uniquely identifies the interface across the system. This object has been replaced by zhonePhysicalIfIndex.
IAN xxxifTypexxx1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.2.1.4IANAifTyperead-onlyThe type of interface. Additional values for ifType are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), through updating the syntax of the IANAifType textual convention. This object has replaced by zhoneIfType.
ifIndexToPhysicalTable1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3not-accessibleTable to translate from interface number (zhoneIfIndex) to the physical location and port (including subport where defined). zhoneShelfNumber is the number of the shelf on which the port is located and can have a value from 1-255, zhoneSlotNumber is the card slot on which card with the physical port is located and currently has a value of 1-18. The pportNumber identifies the specific physical port on the card beginning with port 1. subPortNumber issued to define multiple interfaces on a port as required, if the identified port has a single interface number, subport will be set to zero.
ifIndexToPhysicalEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1not-accessibleThe table is indexed by the zhoneIfidndex of the desired interface.
ZHO zhoneShelfNumber1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.1ZhoneShelfValueread-onlyThe zhoneShelfNumber is the physical address or number of the shelf for the desired interface. A Zhone system is limited to a maximum of 255 shelves. The first shelf in a system is shelf 1,
ZHO zhoneSlotNumber1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.2ZhoneSlotValueread-onlyThe zhoneSlotNumber is the physical slot number on which the card containing the port or interface is located. Zhone shelves are currently limited to 30 slots numbered 1-30. Note that daughter boards do not have slot numbers.
I32 pportNumber1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.3Integer32read-onlyThe pportNumber defines the phyiscal port number on the selected shelf/slot (card). Port numbering begins with port 1 and ports are numbered sequentially. pportNumber 0 is invalid unless the ifIndex is for an interface that is not bound to a physical port.
I32 subPortNumber1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.4Integer32read-onlyThe subPortNumber is used to identify multiple logical ports on a physical that require their own interface number, e.g. DS1s on a DS3 port. Note that multiple protocol layers such as IP over ATM do not require unique interface numbers and are handled by the standard ifStackTable mechanism. Subport 0 is reserved to designate that a physical port has no subport and hence a single interface number.
IAN ifaceType1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.5IANAifTyperead-onlyThe type of interface. Additional values for ifType are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), through updating the syntax of the IANAifType textual convention.
ZHO ifaceTypeExtension1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.3.1.6ZhoneIfTyperead-onlyThis field is used to specify the zhone-proprietary interface type when necessary. For example, if the interface is a line-group, iftype is set to 'IANAIFTYPE_OTHER' and ifTypeExtension is set to 'ZHONEIFTYPE_LINEGROUP'. By default ifTypeExtension is set to 'ZHONEIFTYPE_NONE(0)'.
ifStackDefaultTable1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4not-accessibleThis table defines the default ifTable vales and stack arrangements (bindings) and unit numbers based on types of cards and ifTypes.
ifStackDefaultEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1not-accessibleThis table contains the unit/card type, the ifType of the 'from' layer (ifStkDefUpperIfType) and the ifType of the 'to' layer (ifStkDefLowerIfType) and the number of units for each association. Also the Default value ifAdminStatus in ifTable. A value must be supplied for all fields except ifStkDefAdminStatus to create a new row.
I32 ifStkDefCardType1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.1Integer32not-accessibleThe numerical representation of unit/card type as specified in zhoneCardResourcesModule where cardZhoneType has the following defined values: unknownType(1), interShelf(2), infoServices(3), hdsl2(10),sechtor100(1001),zedge64(2001), and zplex10(3001). Other values may be used.
IAN ifStkDefUpperType1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.2IANAifTypenot-accessibleThe value of ifType corresponding to the higher sublayer of the relationship, i.e., the sublayer that runs on top of the sublayer identified by the corresponding instance of ifStkDefLowerType.
IAN ifStkDefLowerType1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.3IANAifTypenot-accessibleThe value of ifType corresponding to the default lower sublayer of the relationship, i.e., the sublayer that runs under the sublayer identified by the corresponding instance of ifStkDefUpperType.
I32 ifStkDefUnits1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.4Integer32read-createNumber of units for this association which indicates the number of ifindexes created for this particular iftype pair on this card type such as 48 creations for the initial version of the HDSL2 card.
INT ifStkDefAdminStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.5INTEGERread-createDefault value for ifAdminStatus in ifTable for the UPPPER ifindex associated with the ifStkDefUpperType.
ZHO ifStkDefRowStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.4.1.6ZhoneRowStatusread-createRow status used to create and/or remove rows from this table.
ifInverseStackTable1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.5not-accessibleThis is the inverse ifstacktable in that the index scheme is lower.higher as opposed to higher.lower as defined in rfc2233. Comments and information is copied here for clarity. Information on a particular relationship between two sub-layers, specifying that one sub-layer runs on 'top' of the other sub-layer. Each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. Use of this table is solely for management stations to walk the table (getnext) from the lower physical port (ifindex) up the stack.
ifInverseStackEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.5.1not-accessibleThe table containing information on the relationships between the multiple sub-layers of network interfaces. In particular, it contains information on which sub- layers run 'on top of' which other sub-layers, where each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. For example, when the sub-layer with ifIndex value x runs over the sub-layer with ifIndex value y, then this table contains: ifStackStatus.y.x=active For each ifIndex value, I, which identifies an active interface, there are always at least two instantiated rows in this table associated with I. For one of these rows, I is the value of ifStackHigherLayer; for the other, I is the value of ifStackLowerLayer. (If I is not involved in multiplexing, then these are the only two rows associated with I.) For example, two rows exist even for an interface which has no others stacked on top or below it: ifStackStatus.0.x=active ifStackStatus.x.0=active A corresponding entry in this mib is made whenever an entry is made in the standard ifStackTable. Thus, deletion, creation, and modification is not possible on this table.
NUM ifInverseStackLowerLayer1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.5.1.1InterfaceIndexnot-accessibleThe value of ifIndex corresponding to the lower sub- layer of the relationship, i.e., the sub-layer which runs 'below' the sub-layer identified by the corresponding instance of ifInverseStackHigherLayer. If there is no lower sub-layer, then this object has the value 0.
NUM ifInverseStackHigherLayer1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.5.1.2InterfaceIndexnot-accessibleThe value of ifIndex corresponding to the higher sub-layer of the relationship, i.e., the sub-layer which runs on 'top' of the sub-layer identified by the corresponding instance of ifStackLowerLayer. If there is no higher sub-layer (below the internetwork layer), then this object has the value 0.
INT ifInverseStackStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.5.1.3INTEGERread-onlyStatus of this entry. If the entry exists, this value must be 1.
zhoneIfXTable1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6not-accessibleThis table contains additional objects for the interface table. Each row corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable.
zhoneIfXEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1not-accessibleAn entry containing additional management information applicable to a particular interface.
T/F physicalFlag1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1.1TruthValueread-createThe flag is set to 'true(1)' if the ifIndex represents the physical layer. Otherwise the flag is set to 'false(2)'.
ZHO ifTypeExtension1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1.2ZhoneIfTyperead-createThis field is used to specify the zhone-proprietary interface type when necessary. For example, if the interface is a line-group, iftype is set to 'IANAIFTYPE_OTHER' and ifTypeExtension is set to 'ZHONEIFTYPE_LINEGROUP'. By default ifTypeExtension is set to 'ZHONEIFTYPE_NONE(0)'.
I32 redundancyParam11.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1.3Integer32read-createFor linegroups, this value contains information about line redundancy as follows: 0x8000 bit set => switchover on failure 0x7FFF number of seconds to wait before switchover 0x40000000 bit set => revert after switchover 0x3FFF0000 these 4 bits contains the number of seconds to wait before reverting 0x80000000 bit set => disable transmit on standby For physical interfaces: 0x00000001 bit set => secondary member of a protection pair bit clear => primary member, or standalone
IAN zhoneIfXEntryIfTypeAlias1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1.4IANAifTyperead-createThis object maps to ifType object within the ifEntry table. This object is used when creating a new row in the ifEntry table since ifType is read-only.
ZHO zhoneIfXEntryRowStatus1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.6.1.5ZhoneRowStatusread-createThis object is used to create and delete rows within the ifEntry table since ifEntry is standard and does not have a Row Status object. Currently, only ifType value of 'other' is allowed to be created via SNMP.

The physical port is the port number on the card selected by shelf/slot. The role of subport may vary depending on the card type, but is included to allow maximum flexibility and future exhancements. Iftype-extension is searched when iftype is set to 'ZHONEIFTYPE_NONE(0)'.
zhonePhysicalToIfIndexEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.3.5.7.1not-accessibleThe physical table is indexed by shelf/slot/physical port /subport/iftype/iftype-extension. In instances where there is no subport the value of subport should be set to zero.
