Abstract
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the
Internet community. In particular, it describes objects used for
managing the Line Code Specific parameters of Very High Speed Digital
Subscriber Line (VDSL) interfaces using Single Carrier Modulation
(SCM) Line Coding. It is an optional extension to the VDSL-LINE-MIB,
RFC 3728, which handles line code independent objects.

1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
2. Overview
This document describes an SNMP MIB module for managing the Line Code
Dependent, Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) Layer of SCM VDSL Lines.
These definitions are based upon the specifications for VDSL as
defined in T1E1, European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) documentation
[T1E1311, T1E1011, T1E1013, ETSI2701, ETSI2702, ITU9931, ITU9971].
Additionally the protocol-dependent (and line-code dependent)
management framework for VDSL lines specified by the Digital
Subscriber Line Forum (DSLF) has been taken into consideration
[DSLFTR57] and [DSLFWT96].
The MIB module is located in the MIB tree under MIB-2 transmission.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "RECOMMENDED", and "SHOULD" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2.1. Relationship of this MIB Module to Other MIB Modules
The relationship of the VDSL Line MIB module to other MIB modules, in
particular to the IF-MIB presented in RFC 2863 [RFC2863], is
discussed in the VDSL-LINE-MIB, RFC 3728 [RFC3728]. This section
outlines the relationship of this VDSL Line Extension MIB to the
VDSL-LINE-MIB, RFC 3728 [RFC3728].
2.2. Conventions Used in the MIB Module
2.2.1. Naming Conventions
A. Vtuc -- VDSL transceiver unit at near (Central) end of line
B. Vtur -- VDSL transceiver unit at Remote end of line
C. Vtu -- One of either Vtuc or Vtur
D. Curr -- Current
F. Atn -- Attenuation
J. LCS -- Line Code Specific
K. Max -- Maximum
Q. Mgn -- Margin
S. PSD -- Power Spectral Density
T. Rx -- Receive
T. Snr -- Signal to Noise Ratio
U. Tx -- Transmit
2.3. Structure
The SCM VDSL Line Extension MIB contains the following MIB group:
o vdslSCMGroup :
This group supports MIB objects for defining configuration profiles
and for monitoring individual bands of Single Carrier Modulation
(SCM) VDSL modems. It contains the following tables:
- vdslLineSCMConfProfileTxBandTable
- vdslSCMPhysBandTable
If the SCM VDSL Line Extension MIB is implemented then all objects in
this group MUST be implemented.
Figure 1 below displays the relationship of the tables in the
vdslSCMGroup to the vdslGroup and to the ifEntry:
ifEntry(ifType=97) ----> vdslLineTableEntry 1:(0..1)
vdslLineTableEntry (vdslLineCoding=SCM)
----> vdslPhysTableEntry 1:(0..2)
----> vdslSCMPhysBandTable 1:(0..5)
vdslLineConfProfileEntry(vdslLineConfProfileName)
----> vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable 1:(0..5)
Figure 1: Table Relationships
When the object vdslLineCoding is set to SCM, vdslLineConfProfileName
is used as the index to vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable. The
existence of an entry in any of the tables of the vdslSCMGroup is
optional.
2.4. Persistence
All read-create objects defined in this MIB module SHOULD be stored
persistently. Following is an exhaustive list of these persistent
objects:
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandId
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandUsage
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandCenterFrequency
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandSymbolRate
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandConstellationSize
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTransmitPSDLevel
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandRowStatus
vdslLineSCMPhysBandId
vdslLineSCMPhysBandUsage
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrPSDLevel
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSymbolRate
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrConstellationSize
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrCenterFrequency
vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandId
vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandUsage
vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandSnrMgn
vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandAtn
Note also that the interface indices in this MIB are maintained
persistently. View-based Access Control Model (VACM) data relating
to these SHOULD be stored persistently as well [RFC3415].
3. Conformance and Compliance
An SCM based VDSL agent does not have to implement this MIB to be
compliant with RFC 3728 [RFC3728]. If the SCM VDSL Line Extension
MIB is implemented then the following group is mandatory:
- vdslSCMGroup

DESCRIPTION
"The VDSL-LINE-MIB found in RFC 3728 defines objects for the
management of a pair of VDSL transceivers at each end of the VDSL
line. The VDSL-LINE-MIB configures and monitors the line code
independent parameters (TC layer) of the VDSL line. This MIB
module is an optional extension of the VDSL-LINE-MIB and defines
objects for configuration and monitoring of the line code specific
(LCS) elements (PMD layer) for VDSL lines using SCM coding. The
objects in this extension MIB MUST NOT be used for VDSL lines
using Multiple Carrier Modulation (MCM) line coding. If an object
in this extension MIB is referenced by a line which does not use
SCM, it has no effect on the operation of that line.
Naming Conventions:
Vtuc -- VDSL transceiver at near (Central) end of line
Vtur -- VDSL transceiver at Remote end of line
Vtu -- One of either Vtuc or Vtur
Curr -- Current
Atn -- Attenuation
LCS -- Line Code Specific
Max -- Maximum
Mgn -- Margin
PSD -- Power Spectral Density

5. Acknowledgments
This document contains many definitions taken from an early version
of the VDSL MIB [RFC3728]. As such, any credit for the text found
within should be fully attributed to the authors of that document.
6. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-create. Such objects may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The
support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper
protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These
are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandInUse,
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTransmitPSDLevel,
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandSymbolRate,
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandConstellationSize,
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandCenterFrequency,
vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandRowStatus
VDSL layer connectivity from the Vtur will permit the subscriber to
manipulate both the VDSL link directly and the VDSL embedded
operations channel (EOC) for their own loop. For example, unchecked
or unfiltered fluctuations initiated by the subscriber could generate
sufficient notifications to potentially overwhelm either the
management interface to the network or the element manager.
Additionally, allowing write access to configuration data may allow
an end-user to increase their service levels or affect other end-
users in either a positive or negative manner. For this reason, the
tables and objects listed above should be considered to contain
sensitive information.
Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to
control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
vdslLineSCMPhysBandInUse,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrPSDLevel,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSymbolRate,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrConstellationSize,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrCenterFrequency,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSnrMgn,
vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrAtn
Read access of the physical band parameters may provide knowledge to
an end-user that would allow malicious behavior, for example the
application of an intentional interference on one or all of the
physical bands in use.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of a MIB module is properly configured to give access to the
objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights
to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
7. IANA Considerations
The IANA has assigned the transmission value 228 to VDSL-LINE-EXT-
SCM-MIB.
