Introduction + + This memo defines how label-switching-controlled Frame-Relay + [RFC3034] and ATM [RFC3035] interfaces can be realized given the + interface stacking as defined in the MPLS-LSR-STD [RFC3813] and + MPLS-TE-STD [RFC3812] MIBs. This document also contains a MIB module + that sparsely extends the MPLS-LSR-STD MIB's mplsInterfaceConfTable + in such a way as to identify which MPLS-type interfaces have LC-ATM + or LC-FR capabilities. Comments should be made directly to the MPLS + mailing list at mpls@uu.net. + + 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, reference + [RFC2119]. + +2. Terminology + + This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS + architecture [RFC3031], as well as from RFC 3035 and RFC 3034. + Specifically, the following terms will be used in this document. + + C-FR RFC 3034 defines a label-switching-controlled Frame Relay + (LC-FR) interface. Packets traversing such an interface carry + labels in the DLCI field + + C-ATM RFC 3035 defines a label-switching-controlled ATM (LC-ATM) + interface as an ATM interface controlled by the label switching + control component. When a packet traversing such an interface + is received, it is treated as a labeled packet. The packet's + top label is inferred from either the contents of the Virtual + Channel Identifier (VCI) field or the combined contents of the + Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and VCI fields. Any two LDP + peers that are connected via an LC-ATM interface will use LDP + negotiations to determine which of these cases is applicable to + that interface. Static configuration of labels is also + possible. + + When LDP is used to distribute labels for use on label-controlled + interfaces, label configuration information may be available in the + MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB [RFC3815] when LC-ATM interfaces are used, or + the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB [RFC3815] when LC-FR interfaces are + used. + + + + + + + + +Nadeau & Hegde Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4368 MPLS LC ATM and FR MIBs January 2006 + + +3. The SNMP 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. MIB objects are generally + accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). + Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the + Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB + module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, + RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 + [RFC2580]. + +4. Interface Stacking of LC-ATM + + Since LC-ATM interfaces [RFC2863] can carry labeled MPLS traffic, + they too are considered MPLS subinterfaces with ifType = mpls(166). + They differ slightly in their capability from a packet-oriented MPLS + interface in that they may carry ATM- or Frame-Relay-encapsulated + traffic. It is thus beneficial to identify them as such. To do + this, two tables are defined that extend the MPLS-LSR-STD MIB's + mplsInterfaceTable (see section 5 for LC-ATM or section 6 for LC-FR). + +5. Structure of the MPLS-LC-ATM-STD-MIB Module + + The MPLS-LC-ATM-STD-MIB module is structured simply as a table of + entries that sparsely extend those found in the interfaces table. In + particular, the entries in the mplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable extend + interfaces capable of supporting MPLS, as is defined in [RFC3813], to + include entries that also support LC-ATM (and their unique + attributes). Therefore, the module can be visualized as follows. + Note that the ifTable comes from [RFC2863], the mplsInterfaceTable + from [RFC3813], and the mplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable from the + MPLS-LC-ATM-STD-MIB module described below. + + ifTable mplsInterfaceTable mplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable + .1 + .2 .2 + .3 + .4 .4 .4 + .5 + + + + + + + + +Nadeau & Hegde Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4368 MPLS LC ATM and FR MIBs January 2006 + + + In the example shown above, five interfaces exist on the device in + question. Of those interfaces, those with ifIndex = .2 and .4 are of + ifType = mpls(166) indicating that they are capable of MPLS. Of + those two, the entry with index .4 is capable of MPLS LC-ATM + operations. + + Note that the label partition model utilized by the authors of this + document reflects widespread implementation and is seen by the MPLS + working group as sufficiently flexible to meet the operational needs, + even if it is more restrictive than [RFC3035] allows. To this end, + we have limited the control and unlabeled VPI and VCI to single + values. Note that mplsLcAtmStdUnlabTrafVci and mplsLcAtmStdCtrlVci + MUST not be equal; nor should mplsLcAtmStdCtrlVpi or + mplsLcAtmStdUnlabTrafVpi be equal. + +6. Structure of the MPLS-LC-FR-STD-MIB Module + + The MPLS-LC-FR-STD-MIB module is structured simply as a table of + entries that sparsely extend those found in the interfaces table. In + particular, the entries in the mplsLcFrStdInterfaceConfTable extend + interfaces capable of supporting MPLS, as is defined in [RFC3813], to + include entries that also support LC-Frame Relay (and their unique + attributes). Therefore, the module can be visualized as follows. + Note that the ifTable comes from [RFC2863], the mplsInterfaceTable + from [RFC3813], and the mplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable from the + MPLS-LC-FR-STD-MIB module described below. + + ifTable mplsInterfaceTable mplsLcFrStdInterfaceConfTable + .1 + .2 .2 + .3 + .4 .4 .4 + .5 + + In the example shown above, five interfaces exist on the device in + question. Of those interfaces, those with ifIndex = .2 and .4 are of + ifType = mpls(166) indicating that they are capable of MPLS. Of + those two, the entry with index .4 is capable of MPLS LC-Frame Relay + operations. + + Note that even though the architecture as described in [RFC3034] + calls for supporting mixed labeled and unlabeled traffic, this MIB + does not support that, as this capability does not seem to be used + operationally. Note that the DLCI ranges represented by + mplsLcFrStdTrafficMinDlci to mplsLcFrStdTrafficMaxDlci and + mplsLcFrStdCtrlMinDlci to mplsLcFrStdCtrlMaxDlci MUST not overlap. + + + + + +Nadeau & Hegde Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 4368 MPLS LC ATM and FR MIBs January 2006 + + +7.

Security Considerations + + It is clear that these MIB modules are potentially useful for + monitoring MPLS LSRs supporting LC-ATM and/or LC-FR. These MIBs can + also be used for configuration of certain objects, and anything that + can be configured can be incorrectly configured, with potentially + disastrous results. + + There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module + with 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. These are the tables and objects and their + sensitivity/vulnerability: + + o the MplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable and + mplsLcFrStdInterfaceConfTable collectively contain objects that + may be used to provision MPLS LC or FR-enabled interfaces. + Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in + disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true + if traffic has been established over these interfaces. The use + of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be + considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM + MUST be used with any v3 agent that implements this MIB module. + Administrators should consider whether read access to these + objects should be allowed, since read access may be undesirable + under certain circumstances. + + 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: + + o the MplsLcAtmStdInterfaceConfTable and + mplsLcFrStdInterfaceConfTable collectively show the LC-ATM + and/or LC-FR interfaces, their associated configurations, and + their linkages to other MPLS-related configuration and/or + performance statistics. Administrators not wishing to reveal + + + + +Nadeau & Hegde Standards Track [Page 18] + +RFC 4368 MPLS LC ATM and FR MIBs January 2006 + + + this information should consider these objects + sensitive/vulnerable and take precautions so they are not + revealed. + + 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). + + 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 this 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. + +11. IANA Considerations + + As described in and as requested in the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB [RFC3811], + MPLS-related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the + mplsStdMIB subtree. There are 2 MPLS MIB modules contained in this + document; each of the following "IANA Considerations" subsections + requested from IANA a new assignment under the mplsStdMIB subtree. + New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified + in [RFC2434]. + +11.1.
