RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
1. 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. 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].
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL", when used in the guidelines in this memo, are to be
interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
The terms "MIB module" and "information module" are used
interchangeably in this memo. As used here, both terms refer to any
of the three types of information modules defined in Section 3 of RFC
2578 [RFC2578].
Some of the terms used in this memo are defined below. Some
additional terms are also defined in the PacketCable MTA Device
Provisioning Specification [PKT-SP-PROV] and the PacketCable Security
Specification [PKT-SP-SEC].
DOCSIS
The CableLabs(R) Certified(TM) Cable Modem project, also known as
DOCSIS(R) (Data over Cable Service Interface Specification), defines
interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data
distribution over cable television system networks. DOCSIS also
refers to the ITU-T J.112 recommendation, Annex B, for cable modem
systems [ITU-T-J112].
Cable Modem
A Cable Modem (CM) acts as a data transport agent used to transfer
call management and voice data packets over a DOCSIS-compliant cable
system.
Multimedia Terminal Adapter
A Multimedia Terminal Adapter (MTA) is a PacketCable- or IPCablecom-
compliant device providing telephony services over a cable or hybrid
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
system used to deliver video signals to a community. It contains an
interface to endpoints, a network interface, CODECs, and all
signaling and encapsulation functions required for Voice over IP
transport, call signaling, and Quality of Service signaling. An MTA
can be an embedded or a standalone device. An Embedded MTA (E-MTA)
is an MTA device containing an embedded DOCSIS Cable Modem. A
Standalone MTA (S-MTA) is an MTA device separated from the DOCSIS
cable modem by non-DOCSIS Message Access Control (MAC) interface
(e.g., Ethernet, USB).
Endpoint
An endpoint or MTA endpoint is a standard RJ-11 telephony physical
port located on the MTA and used for attaching the telephone device
to the MTA.
X.509 Certificate
A X.509 certificate is an Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
certificate developed as part of the ITU-T X.500 Directory
recommendations. It is defined in RFC 3280 [RFC3280] and RFC 4630
[RFC4630].
Voice over IP
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a technology providing the means to transfer
digitized packets with voice information over IP networks.
Public Key Certificate
A Public Key Certificate (also known as a Digital Certificate) is a
binding between an entity's public key and one or more attributes
relating to its identity.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is defined by RFC 2131
[RFC2131]. In addition, commonly used DHCP options are defined in
RFC 2132 [RFC2132]. Additional DHCP options used by PacketCable and
IPCablecom MTAs can be found in the CableLabs Client Configuration
DHCP specifications, RFC 3495 [RFC3495] and RFC 3594 [RFC3594].
TFTP
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is defined by RFC 1350
[RFC1350].
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1) is defined by RFC 2616
[RFC2616].
Call Management Server
A Call Management Server (CMS) is an element of the PacketCable
network infrastructure that controls audio connections between MTAs.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
CODEC, COder-DECoder
A Coder-DECoder is a hardware or software component used in
audio/video systems to convert an analog signal to digital, and then
(possibly) to compress it so that lower bandwidth telecommunications
channels can be used. The signal is decompressed and converted
(decoded) back to analog output by a compatible CODEC at the
receiving end.
Operations Systems Support
An Operations Systems Support system (OSS) is a system of back office
software components used for fault, configuration, accounting,
performance, and security management working in interaction with each
other and providing the operations support in deployed PacketCable
systems.
Key Distribution Center
A Key Distribution Center (KDC) is an element of the OSS systems
functioning as a Kerberos Security Server, providing mutual
authentication of the various components of the PacketCable system
(e.g., mutual authentication between an MTA and a CMS, or between an
MTA and the Provisioning Server).
Security Association
A Security Association (SA) is a one-way relationship between a
sender and a receiver offering security services on the communication
flow.
3. Introduction
This MIB module provides a set of objects required for the management
of PacketCable, ETSI, and ITU-T IPCablecom compliant MTA devices.
The MTA MIB module is intended to supersede various MTA MIB modules
from which it is partly derived:
- The PacketCable 1.0 MTA MIB Specification [PKT-SP-MIB-MTA].
- The ITU-T IPCablecom MTA MIB requirements [ITU-T-J168].
- The ETSI MTA MIB [ETSITS101909-8]. The ETSI MTA MIB requirements
also refer to various signal characteristics defined in
[EN300001], Chapter 3, titled 'Ringing Signal Characteristics',
and [EN300659-1].
Several normative and informative references are used to help define
MTA MIB objects. As a convention, wherever PacketCable and
IPCablecom requirements are equivalent, the PacketCable reference is
used in the object REFERENCE clause. IPCablecom-compliant MTA
devices MUST use the equivalent IPCablecom references.

RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
3.1. Structure of the MTA MIB
The MTA MIB module is identified by pktcIetfMtaMib and is structured
in three object groups:
- pktcMtaDevBase defines the management information pertinent to the
MTA device itself.
- pktcMtaDevServer defines the management information pertinent to
the provisioning back office servers.
- pktcMtaDevSecurity defines the management information pertinent to
the PacketCable and IPCablecom security mechanisms.
The first two object groups, pktcMtaDevBase and pktcMtaDevServer,
contain only scalar information objects describing the corresponding
characteristics of the MTA device and back office servers.
The third group, pktcMtaDevSecurity, contains two tables controlling
the logical associations between KDC realms and Application Servers
(CMS and Provisioning Server). The rows in the various tables of the
MTA MIB module can be created automatically (e.g., by the device
according to the current state information), or they can be created
by the management station, depending on the operational situation.
The tables defined in the MTA MIB module may have a mixture of both
types of rows.
3.2. pktcMtaDevBase
This object group contains the management information related to the
MTA device itself. It also contains some objects used to control the
MTA state. Some highlights are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevSerialNumber. This object contains the MTA Serial
Number.
- pktcMtaDevEndPntCount. This object contains the number of
endpoints present in the managed MTA.
- pktcMtaDevProvisioningState. This object contains the information
describing the completion state of the MTA initialization process.
- pktcMtaDevEnabled. This object controls the administrative state
of the MTA endpoints and allows operators to enable or disable
telephony services on the device.
- pktcMtaDevResetNow. This object is used to instruct the MTA to
reset.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
3.3. pktcMtaDevServer
This object group contains the management information describing the
back office servers and the parameters related to the communication
timers. It also includes some objects controlling the initial MTA
interaction with the Provisioning Server.
Some highlights are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevServerDhcp1. This object contains the IP address of the
primary DHCP server designated for the MTA provisioning.
- pktcMtaDevServerDhcp2. This object contains the IP address of the
secondary DHCP server designated for the MTA provisioning.
- pktcMtaDevServerDns1. This object contains the IP address of the
primary DNS used by the managed MTA to resolve the Fully Qualified
Domain Name (FQDN) and IP addresses.
- pktcMtaDevServerDns2. This object contains the IP address of the
secondary DNS used by the managed MTA to resolve the FQDN and IP
addresses.
- pktcMtaDevConfigFile. This object contains the name of the
provisioning configuration file the managed MTA must download from
the Provisioning Server.
- pktcMtaDevProvConfigHash. This object contains the hash value of
the MTA configuration file calculated over its content. When the
managed MTA downloads the file, it authenticates the configuration
file using the hash value provided in this object.
3.4. pktcMtaDevSecurity
This object group contains the management information describing the
security-related characteristics of the managed MTA. It contains two
tables describing logical dependencies and parameters necessary to
establish Security Associations between the MTA and other Application
Servers (back office components and CMSes). The CMS table
(pktcMtaDevCmsTable) and the realm table (pktcMtaDevRealmTable) are
used for managing the MTA signaling security. The realm table
defines the CMS domains. The CMS table defines the CMS within the
domains. Each MTA endpoint is associated with one CMS at any given
time.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
The two tables in this object group are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevRealmTable. This table is used in conjunction with any
Application Server that communicates securely with the managed MTA
(CMS or Provisioning Server).
- pktcMtaDevCmsTable. This table contains the parameters describing
the SA establishment between the MTA and CMSes.
3.5. Relationship between MIB Objects in the MTA MIB
This section clarifies the relationship between various MTA MIB
objects with respect to the role they play in the process of
establishing Security Associations.
The process of Security Association establishment between an MTA and
Application Servers is described in the PacketCable Security
Specification [PKT-SP-SEC]. In particular, an MTA communicates with
2 types of back office Application Servers: Call Management Servers
and Provisioning Servers.
The SA establishment process consists of two steps:
a. Authentication Server Exchange (AS-exchange). This step provides
mutual authentication between the parties; i.e., between an MTA
and an Authentication Server. The process of AS-exchange is
defined by a number of parameters grouped per each realm. These
parameters are gathered in the Realm Table (pktcMtaDevRealmTable).
The Realm Table is indexed by the Index Counter and contains
conceptual column with the Kerberos realm name.
b. Application server exchange (AP-exchange). This step allows for
the establishment of Security Associations between authenticated
parties. The CMS table (pktcMtaDevCmsTable) contains the
parameters for the AP-exchange process between an MTA and a CMS.
The CMS table is indexed by the Index Counter and contains the CMS
FQDN (the conceptual column pktcMtaDevCmsFqdn). Each row contains
the Kerberos realm name associated with each CMS FQDN. This
allows for each CMS to exist in a different Kerberos realm.
The MTA MIB module also contains a group of scalar MIB objects in the
server group (pktcMtaDevServer). These objects define various
parameters for the AP-exchange process between an MTA and the
Provisioning Server. These objects are:
- pktcMtaDevProvUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout,
- pktcMtaDevProvUnsolicitedKeyNomTimeout,
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
- pktcMtaDevProvUnsolicitedKeyMaxRetries, and
- pktcMtaDevProvSolicitedKeyTimeout.
3.6. Secure Software Download
E-MTAs are embedded with DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems. E-MTAs have their
software upgraded by the Cable Modem according to the DOCSIS
requirements.
Although E-MTAs have their software upgraded by the Cable Modem
according to the DOCSIS requirements, S-MTAs implement a specific
mechanism for Secure Software Download. This provides a means to
verify the code upgrade using Code Verification Certificates and is
modeled after the DOCSIS mechanism implemented in Cable Modems. This
is the reason why the MTA MIB and the S-MTA compliance modules also
rely on two MIB object groups:
- docsBpi2CodeDownloadGroup, defined in the IETF BPI Plus MIB module
(DOCS-IETF-BPI2-MIB [RFC4131]).
- docsDevSoftwareGroupV2, defined in the IETF Cable Devicev2 MIB
module (DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB [RFC4639]).
3.7. X.509 Certificates Dependencies
As specified in the PacketCable Security Specification [PKT-SP-SEC],
E-MTAs must use the authentication mechanism based on the X.509
Public Key Infrastructure Certificates, as defined in RFC 3280
[RFC3280] and RFC 4630 [RFC4630].
The value of the pktcMtaDevRealmOrgName MIB object should contain the
X.509 organization name attribute of the Telephony Service Provider
certificate (OrganizationName). X.509 attributes are defined using
UTF-8 string encoding [RFC3629, RFC3280, and RFC4630].
Note that UTF-8 encoded characters can be encoded as sequences of 1
to 6 octets, assuming that code points as high as 0x7ffffffff might
be used ([RFC3629]). Subsequent versions of Unicode and ISO 10646
have limited the upper bound to 0x10ffff ([RFC3629]). Consequently,
the current version of UTF-8, defined in RFC 3629, does not require
more than four octets to encode a valid code point.

SYNTAX SnmpAdminString
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
" This object contains a human readable representation
(character string) of the OID corresponding to the
configuration file parameter that caused the particular
error.
For example, if the value of the pktcMtaDevEnabled object
in the configuration file caused an error, then this
object instance will contain the human-readable string of
'1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.6.0'.
If the MTA generated an error because it was not able
to recognize a particular OID, then this object
instance would contain an empty value (zero-length
string).
For example, if the value of an OID in the configuration
file was interpreted by the MTA as being 1.2.3.4.5, and if
the MTA was not able to recognize this OID as a valid one,
this object instance will contain a zero-length string.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds
1024, then for all subsequent errors, the
pktcMtaDevErrorOid of the table's 1024th entry MUST
contain a human-readable representation of the
pktcMtaDevErrorsTooManyErrors object; i.e., the string
'1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.4.1.0'.
Note that the syntax of this object is SnmpAdminString
instead of OBJECT IDENTIFIER because the object value may
not be a valid OID due to human or configuration tool
encoding errors."

pktcMtaDevErrorValue OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SnmpAdminString
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
" This object contains the value of the OID corresponding to
the configuration file parameter that caused the error.
If the MTA cannot recognize the OID of the
configuration parameter causing the error, then this
object instance contains the OID itself as interpreted
by the MTA in human-readable representation.
If the MTA can recognize the OID but generate an error due
to a wrong value of the parameter, then the object
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 18]
^L
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
instance contains the erroneous value of the parameter as
read from the configuration file.
In both cases, the value of this object must be
represented in human-readable form as a character string.
For example, if the value of the pktcMtaDevEnabled object
in the configuration file was 3 (invalid value), then the
pktcMtaDevErrorValue object instance will contain the
human-readable (string) representation of value '3'.
Similarly, if the OID in the configuration file has been
interpreted by the MTA as being 1.2.3.4.5 and the MTA
cannot recognize this OID as a valid one, then this
pktcMtaDevErrorValue object instance will contain human
readable (string) representation of value '1.2.3.4.5'.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds
1024, then for all subsequent errors, the
pktcMtaDevErrorValue of the table's 1024th entry MUST
contain a human-readable representation of the
pktcMtaDevErrorsTooManyErrors object; i.e., the string
'1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.4.1.0'."

'OUT OF MEMORY - CANNOT STORE'.
This object may also contain vendor specific errors for
private vendor OIDs and any proprietary error codes or
messages that can help diagnose configuration errors.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds
1024, then for all subsequent errors, the
pktcMtaDevErrorReason of the table's 1024th entry MUST

-- key management with the CMS (e.g., clock skew, AP Request/
-- AP Reply adaptive back-off parameters).
--
-- II. Security association setup via NCS signaling.
--
-- The procedure of establishing the Security Associations
-- for NCS signaling is described in the PacketCable Security

pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Unsigned32 (1..600)
UNITS "seconds"
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
" This object specifies the maximum time the MTA will
attempt to perform the exponential back-off algorithm.
This timer only applies when the MTA initiated key
management. If the DHCP option code 122, sub-option 4, is
provided to the MTA, it overwrites this value.
Unsolicited key updates are retransmitted according to an
exponential back-off mechanism using two timers and a
maximum retry counter for AS replies.
The initial retransmission timer value is the nominal
timer value (pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyNomTimeout). The
retransmissions occur with an exponentially increasing
interval that caps at the maximum timeout value
(pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout).
Retransmissions stop when the maximum retry counter is
reached (pktcMatDevRealmUnsolicitedMaxRetries).
For example, with values of 3 seconds for the nominal
timer, 20 seconds for the maximum timeout, and 5 retries
max, retransmission intervals will be 3 s, 6 s,
12 s, 20 s, and 20 s, and retransmissions then stop because
the maximum number of retries has been reached."

6. Security Considerations
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. Improper manipulation of the objects defined in
this MIB may result in random behavior of MTA devices and may result
in service disruption. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
- The following objects, if SET maliciously, would cause the MTA
device to reset and/or stop its service:
pktcMtaDevResetNow.
pktcMtaDevEnabled.
- All writable objects in the pktcMtaDevServer group and some in the
pktcMtaDevRealmTable share the potential, if SET maliciously, to
prevent the MTA from provisioning properly. Thus, they are
considered very sensitive for service delivery. The objects in
question are:

RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
pktcMtaDevProvisioningTimer,
pktcMtaDevDhcpServerAddressType,
pktcMtaDevDnsServerAddressType,
pktcMtaDevTimeServerAddressType,
pktcMtaDevProvConfigEncryptAlg,
pktcMtaDevServerDns1,
pktcMtaDevServerDns2,
pktcMtaDevTimeServer,
pktcMtaDevConfigFile,
pktcMtaDevProvConfigHash,
pktcMtaDevProvConfigKey,
pktcMtaDevProvSolicitedKeyTimeout,
pktcMtaDevRealmName,
pktcMtaDevRealmOrgName,
pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout,
pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyNomTimeout,
pktcMtaDevRealmUnsolicitedKeyMaxRetries, and
pktcMtaDevRealmStatus.
Certain of the above objects have additional specific
vulnerabilities:
o pktcMtaDevServerDns1 and pktcMtaDevServerDns2, if SET
maliciously, could prevent the MTA from being authenticated and
consequently from getting telephony services.
o pktcMtaDevRealmStatus, if SET maliciously, could cause the
whole row of the table to be deleted, which may prevent MTA
from getting telephony services.
- All writable objects in the pktcMtaDevCmsTable table share the
potential, if SET maliciously, to disrupt the telephony service by
altering which Call Management Server the MTA must send signaling
registration to; in particular:
pktcMtaDevCmsFqdn,
pktcMtaDevCmsKerbRealmName,
pktcMtaDevCmsMaxClockSkew,
pktcMtaDevCmsSolicitedKeyTimeout,
pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout,
pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyNomTimeout,
pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyMaxRetries (this object, if set to a
zero value '0', may prevent the MTA from retrying its attempt
to establish a Security Association with the CMS), and
pktcMtaDevCmsStatus.

- Some writable objects in the pktcMtaDevRealmTable table will not
have an immediate effect on service, if SET maliciously. However,
they may impact the service performance and cause avalanche
attacks on provisioning and Kerberos KDC servers, especially after
massive device reboots occur. The objects in question are as
follows:
pktcMtaDevResetKrbTickets: This object, if set to 'true', will
cause the MTA to request a new Kerberos ticket at reboot.
pktcMtaDevRealmPkinitGracePeriod, pktcMtaDevRealmTgsGracePeriod:
These 2 objects, if set to short time periods, will cause the MTA
to renew its tickets more frequently.
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. Some of these objects may
contain information that may be sensitive from a business or customer
perspective. 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 and
vulnerability:
- Some readable objects in the pktcMtaDevBase, pktcMtaDevServer, and
pktcMtaDevSecurity groups share the potential, if read
maliciously, to facilitate Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks against
provisioning or Kerberos servers. The object in question are as
follows:
pktcMtaDevServerDhcp1, pktcMtaDevServerDhcp2, and
pktcMtaDevSnmpEntity. The values of these objects may be used to
launch DoS attacks on the Telephony Service Provider DHCP or
Provisioning servers.
pktcMtaDevProvKerbRealmName, pktcMtaDevManufacturerCertificate,
pktcMtaDevCertificate and pktcMtaDevTelephonyRootCertificate. The
values of these objects may be used by attackers to launch DoS
attacks against Kerberos servers.
- One additional readable object may expose some security threats:
pktcMtaDevFQDN. This object may include sensitive information
about the domain name, and potentially, the domain topology.
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
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 54]

RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
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 Section 8 in [RFC3410]),
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.
7. IANA Considerations
The MIB module defined in this document uses the following IANA-
assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values, recorded in the SMI Numbers
registry:
