standard format used in North America (default)

•

SDH—Synchronous Digital Hierarchy clock 
format; standard format used in Europe.

SonetOperStatusFraming

Operational value of SONET framing.

SonetSectionTrace

Sets the integer that the section trace flag (j0) is set 
to, that is an integer between 1 and 255.

SonetOperStatusSectionTrace

Operational value of SonetSectionTrace.

SonetOperStatusPathSignalLabel

Operational value of Path Signal Label.

SonetClockSource

Sets the Clock Source to either line or internal.

SonetOperStatusClockSource

Operational value of ClockSource.

SonetScramble

Parameter that enables or disables the scrambling 
option.

SonetMedium

MediumType

Identifies whether a SONET or a SDH signal is 
used across this interface.

MediumTimeElapsed

Number of seconds, including partial seconds, that 
have elapsed since the beginning of the current 
measurement period. If, for some reason, such as 
an adjustment in the system’s time-of-day clock, the 
current interval exceeds the maximum value, the 
agent will return the maximum value.

MediumValidIntervals

Number of previous 15-minute intervals for which 
data was collected.

MediumLineCoding

Line coding for this interface. The Non-Return to 
Zero (NRZ) line coding is used for optical SONET/
SDH signals.

MediumLineType

Line type for this interface. The line types are single 
mode fiber or multimode fiber interfaces. 

MediumCircuitIdentifier

Transmission vendor’s circuit identifier, for the 
purpose of facilitating troubleshooting. Note that the 
circuit identifier, if available, is also represented by 
ifPhysAddress.
