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 used for managing the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol [16,17,18,19]. This MIB module is applicable to IPv4 multicast routers which implement PIM. This MIB does not support management of PIM for other address families, including IPv6. Such management may be supported by other MIBs.
The SNMP Network Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [1].
o 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 described in
STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4].
The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC
2578 [5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and
RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is
called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and
RFC 2574 [12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15].
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.
Overview
This MIB module contains one scalar and eight tables. Some of the objects in these tables are deprecated. This MIB contains deprecated objects since they are necessary for managing PIMv1 routers, but PIMv1 itself is obsoleted by PIMv2 [18,19].
The tables contained in this MIB are:
(1) The PIM Interface Table contains one row for each of the
router's PIM interfaces.
(2) The PIM Neighbor Table contains one row for each of the router's
PIM neighbors.
(3) The PIM IP Multicast Route Table contains one row for each
multicast routing entry whose incoming interface is running PIM.
(4) The PIM Next Hop Table which contains one row for each outgoing
interface list entry in the multicast routing table whose
interface is running PIM, and whose state is pruned.
(5) The (deprecated) PIM RP Table contains the PIM (version 1)
information for IP multicast groups which is common to all RPs
of a group.
(6) The PIM RP-Set Table contains the PIM (version 2) information
for sets of candidate Rendezvous Points (RPs) for IP multicast
group addresses with particular address prefixes.
(7) The PIM Candidate-RP Table contains the IP multicast groups for
which the local router is to advertise itself as a Candidate-RP.
If this table is empty, then the local router advertises itself
as a Candidate-RP for all groups.
(8) The PIM Component Table contains one row for each of the PIM
domains to which the router is connected.

Security Considerations
This MIB contains readable objects whose values provide information related to multicast routing, including information on the network topology. There are also a number of objects that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create, which allow an administrator to configure PIM in the router.
While unauthorized access to the readable objects is relatively innocuous, unauthorized access to the write-able objects could cause a denial of service. Hence, the support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure 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 SET (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 2274 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model RFC 2275 [15] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to this MIB, is properly configured to give access to those objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to access them.
