4. Usage Examples
The following sections iterate the instance values for two example
networking devices. These examples are kept simple to make them more
understandable. Auxiliary components such as fans, sensors, empty
slots, and sub-modules are not shown, but might be modeled in real
implementations.
4.1. Router/Bridge
The first example is a router containing two slots. Each slot
contains a 3 port router/bridge module. Each port is represented in
the ifTable. There are two logical instances of OSPF running and two
logical bridges:

Logical to Physical Mappings:
1st OSPF instance: uses module 1-port 1
entLPPhysicalIndex.1.5 == 5
2nd OSPF instance: uses module 2-port 1
entLPPhysicalIndex.2.9 == 9
1st bridge group: uses module 1, all ports
[ed. -- Note that these mappings are included in the table because
another logical entity (1st OSPF) utilizes one of the
ports. If this were not the case, then a single mapping
to the module (e.g., entLPPhysicalIndex.3.4) would be
present instead.]
entLPPhysicalIndex.3.5 == 5
entLPPhysicalIndex.3.6 == 6
entLPPhysicalIndex.3.7 == 7
2nd bridge group: uses module 2, all ports
entLPPhysicalIndex.4.9 == 9
entLPPhysicalIndex.4.10 == 10
entLPPhysicalIndex.4.11 == 11
Physical to Logical to MIB Alias Mappings -- entAliasMappingTable:
Example 1: ifIndex values are global to all logical entities
entAliasMappingIdentifier.5.0 == ifIndex.1
entAliasMappingIdentifier.6.0 == ifIndex.2
entAliasMappingIdentifier.7.0 == ifIndex.3
entAliasMappingIdentifier.9.0 == ifIndex.4
entAliasMappingIdentifier.10.0 == ifIndex.5
entAliasMappingIdentifier.11.0 == ifIndex.6
Example 2: ifIndex values are not shared by all logical entities;
(Bridge-1 uses ifIndex values 101 - 103 and Bridge-2 uses
ifIndex values 204-206.)
entAliasMappingIdentifier.5.0 == ifIndex.1
entAliasMappingIdentifier.5.3 == ifIndex.101
entAliasMappingIdentifier.6.0 == ifIndex.2

entAliasMappingIdentifier.10.4 == ifIndex.205
entAliasMappingIdentifier.11.0 == ifIndex.6
entAliasMappingIdentifier.11.4 == ifIndex.206
Physical Containment Tree -- entPhysicalContainsTable
chassis has two containers:
entPhysicalChildIndex.1.2 == 2
entPhysicalChildIndex.1.3 == 3
container 1 has a module:
entPhysicalChildIndex.2.4 == 4
container 2 has a module:
entPhysicalChildIndex.3.8 == 8
module 1 has 3 ports:
entPhysicalChildIndex.4.5 == 5
entPhysicalChildIndex.4.6 == 6
entPhysicalChildIndex.4.7 == 7
module 2 has 3 ports:
entPhysicalChildIndex.8.9 == 9
entPhysicalChildIndex.8.10 == 10
entPhysicalChildIndex.8.11 == 11
4.2. Repeaters
The second example is a 3-slot Hub with 2 backplane ethernet
segments. Slot three is empty, and the remaining slots contain
ethernet repeater modules.
Note that this example assumes an older Repeater MIB implementation,
(RFC 1516 [RFC1516]) rather than the new Repeater MIB (RFC 2108
[RFC2108]). The new version contains an object called
’rptrPortRptrId’, which should be used to identify repeater port
groupings, rather than using community strings or contexts.
