Introduction + + This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) + for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. + In particular, it describes managed objects for the General Switch + Management Protocol (GSMP). + + 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 [RFC2119]. + +2. The SNMP Management Framework + + The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major + components: + + * An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571]. + + * Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the + purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of + Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and is described in + STD 16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212], and RFC + 1215 [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in + STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579], and RFC + 2580[RFC2580]. + + * Message protocols for transferring management information. The + first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and is + described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the + SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track + protocol, is called SNMPv2c and is described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901] + and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message protocol + is called SNMPv3 and is described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906], RFC 2572 + [RFC2572], and RFC 2574 [RFC2574]. + + * Protocol operations for accessing management information. The + first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats are + described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of + operations and associated PDU formats are described in 1905 + [RFC1905]. + + + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + + * A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC2573], + and the view-based access control mechanism is described in RFC + 2575 [RFC2575]. + + A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework + can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570]. + + Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed + the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are + defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. + + This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A + MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate + translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically + equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no + translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable + information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in + SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine + readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the + MIB. + +3. Structure of the MIB + + This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) + for the use with network management protocols in the Internet + community. In particular, it describes managed objects for the + General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP), as defined in [RFC3292]. + +3.1 Overview + + The General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP) is a general purpose + protocol to control a label switch. GSMP allows a controller to + establish and release connections across the switch, to manage switch + ports and to request configuration information or statistics. It + also allows the switch to inform the controller of asynchronous + events such as a link going down. + + The GSMP protocol is asymmetric, the controller being the master and + the switch being the slave. Multiple switches may be controlled by a + single controller using multiple instantiations of the protocol over + separate control connections. Also a switch may be controlled by + more than one controller by using the technique of partitioning. + + Each instance of a (switch controller, switch partition) adjacency is + a session between one switch controller entity and one switch entity. + The MIB provides objects to configure/setup these entities to form + the GSMP sessions. It also provide objects to monitor these GSMP + sessions. + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + +3.2 Scope + + The GSMP mib is a protocol mib. It contains objects to configure, + monitor, and maintain the GSMP protocol entity. It does not provide + any information learned via the protocol, such as "all ports config" + information. + + The relationships between virtual entities, such as Virtual Switch + Entities, and "physical" entities, such as Switch Entities, falls + outside of the management of GSMP. This also applies for the + management of switch partitions. So this is excluded from the GSMP + mib. + + It is possible to configure which, and how many Switch Controllers + are controlling one Switch since every potential session with the + switch has to be represented with an Switch entity. It is, however, + not possible to define that one Switch Controller shouldn't allow + other Switch controllers to control the same switch or partition on + the switch. It is assumed that there are mechanisms that synchronise + controllers and the configuration of them. This is outside the scope + of this mib. + +3.3 MIB guideline + + Two tables are used to configure potential GSMP sessions depending if + you are acting as a GSMP switch controller or a GSMP switch. Each + row in these tables initiates a GSMP session. + + The entity ID is a 48-bit name that is unique within the operational + context of the device. A 48-bit IEEE 802 MAC address, if available, + MAY be used for the entity ID. If the Ethernet encapsulation is + used, the entity ID MUST be the IEEE 802 MAC address of the interface + on which the GSMP session is to be setup. + + First, the encapsulation of the potential GSMP session shall be + defined. If ATM is used, a row in the gsmpAtmEncapTable has to be + created with the index set to the entity ID. The specified resources + should be allocated to GSMP. If TCP/IP is used, a row in the + gsmpTcpIpEncapTable has to be created with the index set to the + entity ID. The specified port shall be allocated to GSMP. No + special action is needed if ethernet encapsulation is used. + + Then the entity information shall be defined. To create a Switch + Entity, an entry in the gsmpSwitchTable is created with the index set + to the entity ID. To create a Switch Controller Entity, an entry in + the gsmpControllerTable is created with the index set to the entity + ID. + + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + + When the row status of the GsmpControllerEntry or GsmpSwitchEntry is + set to active (e.g., in the case with ATM or TCP/IP there are active + rows with a corresponding entity ID), the adjacency protocol of GSMP + is started. + + Another table, the gsmpSessionTable, shows the actual sessions that + are established or are in the process of being established. Each row + represents a specific session between an Entity and a peer. This + table carries information about the peer, the session, and parameters + that were negotiated by the adjacency procedures. The + gsmpSessionTable also contains statistical information regarding the + session. + + This creation order SHOULD be used by all GSMP managers. This is to + avoid clash situations in multiple SNMP manager scenarios where + different managers may create competing entries in the different + tables. + + Entities may very well be configured by other means than SNMP, e.g., + the cli command. Such configured entities SHOULD be represented as + entries in the tables of this mib and SHOULD be possible to query, + and MAY be possible to alter with SNMP. + +3.4 MIB groups + +3.4.1 GSMP Switch Controller group + + The controller group is used to configure a potential GSMP session on + a Switch Controller. A row in the gsmpControllerTable is created for + each such session. If ATM or TCP/IP encapsulation is used, a + corresponding row has to be created in these tables before the + session adjacency protocol is initiated. + + If ATM or TCP/IP is used, encapsulation data is defined in the + corresponding encapsulation tables. If ethernet is used, the MAC + address of the interface defined for the session is set by the + Controller ID object. + + The adjacency parameters are defined; such as + + - Max supported GSMP version. + - Time between the periodic adjacency messages. + - Controller local port number and instance number. + - Whether partitions are being used and the partition ID for the + specific partitions this controller is concerned with if + partitions are used. + - The resynchronisation strategy for the session is specified. + + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + + The notification mapping is set to specify for with events the + corresponding SNMP notifications are sent. + +3.4.2 GSMP Switch group + + The switch group is used to configure a potential GSMP session on a + Switch. A row in the gsmpSwitchTable is created for each such + session. If ATM or TCP/IP encapsulation is used, a corresponding row + has to be created in these tables before the session adjacency + protocol is initiated. + + If ATM or TCP/IP is used, encapsulation data is defined in the + corresponding encapsulation tables. If ethernet is used the MAC + address of the interface defined for the session is set by the Switch + ID object. + + The adjacency parameters are defined; such as + - Max supported GSMP version + - Time between the periodic adjacency messages + - Switch Name, local port number, and instance number. + - Whether partitions are being used and the partition ID for this + specific partition if partitions are used. + - The switch type could be set. + - The suggested maximum window size for unacknowledged request + messages. + + Also, a notification mapping is set to specify for with events the + corresponding SNMP notifications are sent. + +3.4.3 GSMP Encapsulation groups + + The ATM Encapsulation Table and the TCP/IP Encapsulation Table + provides a way to configure information that are encapsulation + specific. The encapsulation data is further specified in [RFC3293]. + + If ATM encapsulation is used, the interface and the virtual channel + are specified. + + If TCP/IP is used, the IP address and the port number are specified. + + No special config data needed if Ethernet encapsulation is used. + + This mib MAY be extended with new, standard or proprietary, GSMP + encapsulation types. If a new encapsulation type needs to be added, + it SHOULD be done in the form of a new table with the entity ID as an + index. A row in that encapsulation table SHOULD be created before + any row in a GSMP entity table is created that is using this new GSMP + encapsulation. + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + +3.4.4 GSMP General group + + The GSMP session table provides a way to monitor and maintain GSMP + sessions. + + The session is defined by a Switch Controller Entity and Switch + Entity pair. + +3.4.5 The GSMP Notifications Group + + The GSMP Notification Group defines notifications for GSMP entities. + These notifications provide a mechanism for a GSMP device to inform + the management station of status changes. Also a notification is + defined for each type of GSMP events. + + The group of notifications consists of the following notifications: + + - gsmpSessionDown + + This notification is generated when a session is terminating and also + reports the final accounting statistics of the session. + + - gsmpSessionUp + + This notification is generated when a new session is established. + + - gsmpSendFailureInd + + This notification is generated when a message with a failure + indication was sent. This means that this notification identifies a + change to the gsmpSessionStatFailureInds object in a row of the + gsmpSessionTable. + + - gsmpReceivedFailureInd + + This notification is generated when a message with a failure + indication received. This means that this notification identifies a + change to the gsmpSessionStatReceivedFailures object in a row of the + gsmpSessionTable. + + - gsmpPortUpEvent + + This notification is generated when a Port Up Event is either + received or sent. + + + + + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + + - gsmpPortDownEvent + + This notification is generated when a Port Down Event is either + received or sent. + + - gsmpInvalidLabelEvent + + This notification is generated when an Invalid Label Event is either + received or sent. + + - gsmpNewPortEvent + + This notification is generated when New Port Event either is received + or sent. + + - gsmpDeadPortEvent + + This notification is generated when a Dead Port Event is either + received or sent. + + - gsmpAdjacencyUpdateEvent + + This notification is generated when an Adjacency Update Event is + either received or sent. + + To disable or enable the sending of each notification, the bits in + the bitmap are set to 0 or 1 in the Notification mapping objects in + the Controller Entitiy or Switch Entity tables. + + The GSMP notification map capability should not be seen as a + duplication of the filter mechanism in the snmp notification + originator application [RFC2573], but as a compliment, to configure + the relation between GSMP events and the SNMP notifications already + in the GSMP agent. SNMP notifications and GSMP events operate + sometimes on a different timescale, and it may in some applications + be devastating for a SNMP application to receive events for each GSMP + events. E.g. the invalid label event in a ATM switch scenario may + cause mass SNMP notification flooding if mapped to a SNMP + notification. + +3.5 Textual Conventions + + The datatypes GsmpNameType, GsmpLabelType, GsmpVersion, + GsmpPartitionType, and GsmpPartitionIdType are used as textual + conventions in this document. These textual conventions are used for + the convenience of humans reading the MIB. Objects defined using + these conventions are always encoded by means of the rules that + define their primitive type. However, the textual conventions have + + + +Sjostrand, et. al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 3295 GSMP MIB June 2002 + + + special semantics associated with them. Hence, no changes to the SMI + or the SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions + which are adopted merely for the convenience of readers. + +4.

Security Considerations + + Assuming that secure network management (such as SNMP v3) is + implemented, the objects represented in this MIB do not pose a threat + to the security of the network. + + There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that + have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such + objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network + environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure + environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on + network operations. + + There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain + sensitive information. They are contained in the gsmpControllerTable + and gsmpSwitchTable. It is thus important to control even GET access + to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these + object when sending them over the network via SNMP. Not all versions + of SNMP provide features for such a secure environment. + + SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network + itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no + control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and + GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB. + + It is recommended that the implementers consider the security + features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use + of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View- + based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended. + + It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP + entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly + configured to give access to the objects, only to those principals + (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET + (change/create/delete) them. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Sjostrand, et. al.
