The Internet-Standard Management Framework + + For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current + Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of + RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. + + Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed + the Management Information Base or MIB.

Overview + + This document describes an SNMP MIB module for managing the Line Code + Dependent, Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) Layer of SCM VDSL Lines. + These definitions are based upon the specifications for VDSL as + defined in T1E1, European Telecommunications Standards Institute + (ETSI), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) documentation + [T1E1311, T1E1011, T1E1013, ETSI2701, ETSI2702, ITU9931, ITU9971]. + Additionally the protocol-dependent (and line-code dependent) + management framework for VDSL lines specified by the Digital + Subscriber Line Forum (DSLF) has been taken into consideration + [DSLFTR57] and [DSLFWT96]. + + + + + + + +Dodge & Ray Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4069 VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB May 2005 + + + The MIB module is located in the MIB tree under MIB-2 transmission. + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "RECOMMENDED", and "SHOULD" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. + +2.1.

As such, any credit for the text found + within should be fully attributed to the authors of that document. + +6. Security Considerations + + There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module + with a MAX-ACCESS clause of 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. These + are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: + + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandInUse, + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTransmitPSDLevel, + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandSymbolRate, + + + +Dodge & Ray Standards Track [Page 14] + +RFC 4069 VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB May 2005 + + + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandConstellationSize, + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandCenterFrequency, + vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandRowStatus + + VDSL layer connectivity from the Vtur will permit the subscriber to + manipulate both the VDSL link directly and the VDSL embedded + operations channel (EOC) for their own loop. For example, unchecked + or unfiltered fluctuations initiated by the subscriber could generate + sufficient notifications to potentially overwhelm either the + management interface to the network or the element manager. + + Additionally, allowing write access to configuration data may allow + an end-user to increase their service levels or affect other end- + users in either a positive or negative manner. For this reason, the + tables and objects listed above should be considered to contain + sensitive information. + + Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a + MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or + vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to + control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly + to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over + the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their + sensitivity/vulnerability: + + vdslLineSCMPhysBandInUse, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrPSDLevel, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSymbolRate, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrConstellationSize, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrCenterFrequency, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSnrMgn, + vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrAtn + + Read access of the physical band parameters may provide knowledge to + an end-user that would allow malicious behavior, for example the + application of an intentional interference on one or all of the + physical bands in use. + + SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. + 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 module. + + It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as + provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), + including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for + authentication and privacy). + + + +Dodge & Ray Standards Track [Page 15] + +RFC 4069 VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB May 2005 + + + Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT + RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to + enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator + responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an + instance of a MIB module 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. + +7.
