2 ifIndex Encoding Rules
Overview of ifIndex
RFC2863 (RFC1213) defines ifTable MIB to manage various types of interfaces provided by
devices in the network in a unified manner. In ifTable, the ifIndex is defined as the index of
every interface. As defined in RFC2863, ifIndex ranges from 1 to ifNumber (the number of
interfaces currently provided by a device in a network). In addition, ifNumber maps an
interface uniquely in the stable period (that is, from the current system start to the next system
start).
Note that RFC does not define meanings of interfaces; therefore, the interfaces can be specific
physical interfaces or abstract network interfaces. Working as the network access product, the
MA5600T&MA5603T supports a large number of services that are configured based on
different interfaces, such as ADSL, SHDSL, and Ethernet interfaces. Therefore, generally, the
network device interfaces of the MA5600T&MA5603T that map ifTable are specific
interfaces; however, there are also abstract network interfaces. In addition, there are various
types of interfaces for service access. To facilitate unified management, the indexes of
different types of physical interfaces are encoded in a systematic manner in the
MA5600T&MA5603T. In this case, the range of ifIndex displayed on the
MA5600T&MA5603T is not subject to 1ifNumber.

ifIndex Encoding Rules
This chapter describes the ifIndex encoding rules based on different interfaces.
2.1 Encoding Element

Generally, the ifIndex of an interface of the MA5600T&MA5603T depends on the following
elements:
Internal interface
Shelf ID of the interface, ranging from 0 to 1 (currently, only 0 is used and 1 is reserved
for expansion.)
Slot ID of the interface, ranging from 0 to 22
Sequence number (SN) of the interface (for value range, see 2.2Encoding Rules) (Here,
the SN can be a port ID, or a VLAN ID, or IMA group ID or IMA link ID.)
Interface parameter (for parameters, see 2.2Encoding Rules) (currently, this element is
used for only xDSL channel interfaces)
The ifIndex encoding of an interface is a 32-bit digit. The sequence of the preceding five
elements in the ifIndex encoding is encoding, shelf ID, slot ID, SN, and parameter in a
descending order.
In the ifIndex encoding, the SN refers to the ID of the interface such as the ADSL interface, SHDSL
interface, and Ethernet interface. In the case of the abstract interface, the SN is the index of the system
resource because the interface does not have the mapping interface. The Ethernet VLAN interface is
such an interface.
To configure the encoding rules, the shelf and slot IDs of the Ethernet VLAN interface invariably use the
shelf ID and slot ID of the active control board, and the SN of the Ethernet VLAN interface is the index
of the VLAN.
The Ethernet VLAN interface is used for only creating the service interface and is invisible in ifTable
and ifXTable.

encoding are extended. Specifically, the Shelf ID occupies 9 bits and the most significant bit
is 1. Bits occupied by Slot ID and Port ID remain the same. For details, see the following.

In the case of the abstract interface, the ifIndex is the index of the system resource allocated from
internal index pool because the interface does not provide the fixed encoding rule. The Ethernet VLAN
L3 interface & loopback interface & null interface are such interfaces, so for these abstract interfaces the
encoding rule is invisible for OSS system.
The MA5600T&MA5603T system provides a query interface (get) in MIB for VLAN L3 interface &
loopback interface & null interface so that the operator/OSS can use this query interface to get ifIndex
for specific L3 interface or loopback interface.
For details of query interface, see chapter 1.6.9 in the HUAWEI-ANSOI-INTERFACE.
Configure the MA5600T&MA5603T through the OSS system, if the ifindex recorded in the operation
log of the MA5600T&MA5603T system is a negative value, the ifindex is converted to Integer32. Then,
need to convert the value to Unsigned Integer32 to show a correct ifindex.
