Abstract This memo defines two MIB modules and corresponding MIB Object Definitions that describe how label-switching-controlled Frame-Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) interfaces can be managed given the interface stacking as defined in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB and MPLS-TE-STD-MIB.

Introduction This memo defines how label-switching-controlled Frame-Relay [RFC3034] and ATM [RFC3035] interfaces can be realized given the interface stacking as defined in the MPLS-LSR-STD [RFC3813] and MPLS-TE-STD [RFC3812] MIBs. This document also contains a MIB module that sparsely extends the MPLS-LSR-STD MIB's mplsInterfaceConfTable in such a way as to identify which MPLS-type interfaces have LC-ATM or LC-FR capabilities. Comments should be made directly to the MPLS mailing list at mpls@uu.net. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119, reference [RFC2119]. 2. Terminology This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS architecture [RFC3031], as well as from RFC 3035 and RFC 3034. Specifically, the following terms will be used in this document. C-FR RFC 3034 defines a label-switching-controlled Frame Relay (LC-FR) interface. Packets traversing such an interface carry labels in the DLCI field C-ATM RFC 3035 defines a label-switching-controlled ATM (LC-ATM) interface as an ATM interface controlled by the label switching control component. When a packet traversing such an interface is received, it is treated as a labeled packet. The packet's top label is inferred from either the contents of the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) field or the combined contents of the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and VCI fields. Any two LDP peers that are connected via an LC-ATM interface will use LDP negotiations to determine which of these cases is applicable to that interface. Static configuration of labels is also possible. When LDP is used to distribute labels for use on label-controlled interfaces, label configuration information may be available in the MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB [RFC3815] when LC-ATM interfaces are used, or the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB [RFC3815] when LC-FR interfaces are used.
