The Network Management Framework + + The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three + components. They are: + + STD 16/RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for + describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD + 16/RFC 1212 defines a more concise description mechanism, which is + wholly consistent with the SMI. + + STD 17/RFC 1213 which defines MIB-II, the core set of managed + objects for the Internet suite of protocols. + + STD 15/RFC 1157 which defines the SNMP, the protocol used for + network access to managed objects. + + The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of + experimentation and evaluation. + +2. Objects + + Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed + the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are + defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [3] + defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an + OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object + type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a + specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we + often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the + object type. + +2.1. Format of Definitions + + Section 4 contains the specification of all object types contained in + this MIB module. The object types are defined using the conventions + defined in the SMI, as amended by the extensions specified in [5,6]. + +3. Overview + +3.1. Object Selection Criteria + + To be consistent with IAB directives and good engineering practice, + an explicit attempt was made to keep this MIB as simple as possible. + This was accomplished by applying the following criteria to objects + proposed for inclusion: + + (1) Require objects be essential for either fault or + configuration management. In particular, objects for + + + +Kastenholz [Page 2] + +RFC 1471 PPP/LCP MIB June 1993 + + + which the sole purpose was to debug implementations were + explicitly excluded from the MIB. + + (2) Consider evidence of current use and/or utility. + + (3) Limit the total number of objects. + + (4) Exclude objects which are simply derivable from others in + this or other MIBs. + +3.2. Structure of the PPP + + This section describes the basic model of PPP used in developing the + PPP MIB. This information should be useful to the implementor in + understanding some of the basic design decisions of the MIB. + + The PPP is not one single protocol but a large family of protocols. + Each of these is, in itself, a fairly complex protocol. The PPP + protocols may be divided into three rough categories: + + Control Protocols + The Control Protocols are used to control the operation of the + PPP. The Control Protocols include the Link Control Protocol + (LCP), the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), the Link + Quality Report (LQR), and the Challenge Handshake Authentication + Protocol (CHAP). + + Network Protocols + The Network Protocols are used to move the network traffic over + the PPP interface. A Network Protocol encapsulates the datagrams + of a specific higher-layer protocol that is using the PPP as a + data link. Note that within the context of PPP, the term "Network + Protocol" does not imply an OSI Layer-3 protocol; for instance, + there is a Bridging network protocol. + + Network Control Protocols (NCPs) + The NCPs are used to control the operation of the Network + Protocols. Generally, each Network Protocol has its own Network + Control Protocol; thus, the IP Network Protocol has its IP Control + Protocol, the Bridging Network Protocol has its Bridging Network + Control Protocol and so on. + + This document specifies the objects used in managing one of these + protocols, namely the Link Control Protocol and Link Quality + Monitoring Protocol. + + + + + + +Kastenholz [Page 3] + +RFC 1471 PPP/LCP MIB June 1993 + + +3.3. MIB Groups + + Objects in this MIB are arranged into several MIB groups. Each group + is organized as a set of related objects. + + These groups are the basic unit of conformance: if the semantics of a + group are applicable to an implementation then all objects in the + group must be implemented. + + The PPP MIB is organized into several MIB Groups, including, but not + limited to, the following groups: + + o The PPP Link Group + o The PPP LQR Group + o The PPP LQR Extensions Group + o The PPP IP Group + o The PPP Bridge Group + o The PPP Security Group + + This document specifies the following groups: + + The PPP Link Group + This group represents the lowest "level" of the PPP protocol. + + This group contains two tables, one containing status information + and the other configuration information. The configuration table + is split off of the status so that it may be placed in a separate + MIB View for security purposes. + + Implementation of this group is mandatory for all PPP + implementations. + + The PPP LQR Group + This group provides the basic MIB variables that apply to the PPP + LQR Protocol. This group provides MIB access to the information + required for LQR processing. This group contains two tables, one + containing status information and the other configuration + information. The configuration table is split off of the status + so that it may be placed in a separate MIB View for security + purposes. + + Implementation of the PPP LQR Group is mandatory for all PPP + implementations that implement LQR. + + The PPP LQR Extensions Group + The PPP LQR Extensions group contains the most recently received + LQR packet, as well as the "save" fields that are "logically + appended" [12] to received LQR packets. This is done in order to + + + +Kastenholz [Page 4] + +RFC 1471 PPP/LCP MIB June 1993 + + + facilitate external implementations of the Link Quality Monitoring + policies. + + It is not practical to examine the relevant MIB objects which are + used to generate LQR packets since LQR policies may require + synchronization of the values of all data used to determine Link + Quality; i.e., the values of the relevant counters must all be + taken at the same instant in time. Thus, by recording the last + received LQR packet, a synchronized record of the relevant data is + available. + + As this information may not be efficiently maintained on all PPP + implementations, implementation of this group is optional. + +3.4. Relationship to Interface and Interface Extensions + Groups + + The PPP Mib is a medium-specific extension to the standard MIB-2 + interface group [2] and to the Interface Extensions MIB [7]. This + section discusses certain components of these groups when the + interface is a PPP interface. + + The PPP interface represents a single interface in the sense used in + [2] and thus has a single entry in the ifTable. + + Furthermore, the PPP interface may be operating over a lower layer + hardware interface (such as an RS-232 port). It is important to + capture the relationship between the PPP interface and the lower- + layer interface over which it operates. This MIB presumes that the + lower-layer interface has an ifEntry associated with it. The lower- + layer ifEntry is identified via the pppLinkStatusPhysicalIndex + object, which contains the value of ifIndex for the lower-layer + ifEntry. + + For example, suppose that you run PPP over a RS-232 port. This would + use two entries in the ifTable. Let's suppose that entry number 123 + is for the PPP "interface" and entry number 987 is for the RS-232 + port. So, ifSpecific.123 would contain the ppp OBJECT IDENTIFIER, + pppLinkStatusPhysicalIndex.123 would contain 987, and ifSpecific.987 + would contain the rs_232 OBJECT IDENTIFIER (or whatever it is). + + All PPP packets are defined in [8] as being broadcast packets. Thus, + the packets are counted as non-unicast packets in the ifTable + (ifInNUcastPkts and ifOutNUCastPkts) and as broadcasts in the + ifExtnsTable (ifExtnsBroadcastsReceivedOks and + ifExtnsBroadcastsTransmittedOks). + + + + + +Kastenholz [Page 5] + +RFC 1471 PPP/LCP MIB June 1993 + + + ifSpecific + Contains the OBJECT IDENTIFIER ppp. + + ifAdminStatus + Setting this object to up will inject an administrative open event + into the LCP's finite state machine. Setting this object to down + will inject an administrative close event into the LCP's finite + state machine. + + The use of the testing value is beyond the scope of this document. + + ifOperStatus + Represents the state of the LCP Finite State Machine. If the + Finite State Machine is in the Opened state then the value of + ifOperStatus is up, otherwise the value of ifOperStatus is down. + + The meaning of the testing value is beyond the scope of this + document. + + Per the SNMP Protocol Specification [13], the linkUp and linkDown + traps apply to the PPP Protocol entity. When the LCP's Finite State + Machine attains the Opened state, a linkUp trap should be sent. When + the Finite State Machine leaves the Opened state, a linkDown trap + should be sent. + + Some tests for the link are defined in this document. Execution of + these tests does not place the link's ifOperStatus in the testing + state as these tests do not prevent normal data transmission from + occuring over the link. + +4.

Security Considerations + + The PPP MIB affords the network operator the ability to configure and + control the PPP links of a particular system. This represents a + security risk. + + These risks are addressed in the following manners: + + (1) All variables which represent a significant security risk + are placed in separate, optional, MIB Groups. As the MIB + Group is the quantum of implementation within a MIB, the + implementor of the MIB may elect not to implement these + groups. + + (2) The implementor may choose to implement the variables + which present a security risk so that they may not be + written, i.e., the variables are READ-ONLY. This method + still presents a security risk, and is not recommended, + in that the variables, specifically the PPP + Authentication Protocols' variables, may be easily read. + + + +Kastenholz [Page 23] + +RFC 1471 PPP/LCP MIB June 1993 + + + (3) Using SNMPv2, the operator can place the variables into + MIB views which are protected in that the parties which + have access to those MIB views use authentication and + privacy protocols, or the operator may elect to make + these views not accessible to any party. In order to + facilitate this placement, all security-related variables + are placed in separate MIB Tables. This eases the + identification of the necessary MIB View Subtree. + +7.
