Abstract

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 to configure and/or monitor Multiprotocol Label Switching Layer-3 Virtual Private Networks on a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switching Router (LSR) supporting this feature.

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 to configure and/or monitor Multiprotocol Label Switching Layer-3 Virtual Private Networks on a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switching Router (LSR) supporting this feature.

This document adopts the definitions, acronyms, and mechanisms described in RFC4364. Unless otherwise stated, the mechanisms of RFC4364 apply and will not be re-described here.

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 RFC2119.

Terminology

This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS architecture RFC3031 and from the document describing MPLS Layer-3 VPNs (L3VPN) RFC4364, as well as the MPLS architecture RFC3031.

Throughout this document, the use of the terms "Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE)" or "PE/CE" will be replaced by "PE" in all cases except when a network device is a CE when used in the carrier's carrier model.

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.

Assumptions and Prerequisites

It is assumed that certain things are configured and operational in order for the tables and objects described in this MIB to function correctly. These things are outlined below:

- MPLS in general, must be configured and operational.

- Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) paths or traffic-engineered

 tunnels RFC3812 should be configured between PEs and CEs.

Brief Description of MIB Objects

 The following subsections describe the purpose of each of the
 objects contained in the MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB.

mplsL3VpnVrfTable

 This table represents the MPLS L3VPNs that are configured.  A
 Network Management System (NMS) or SNMP agent creates an entry in
 this table for every MPLS L3VPN configured on the LSR being
 examined.  The Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) that is
 configured at a particular device represents an instance of some
 VPN, but not the entire VPN (unless it is the only VRF, of course).
 The collective set of VRF instances comprises the actual VPN.  This
 information is typically only known in its entirety at the NMS.
 That is, specific devices generally only know of their local VRF
 information, but not that of other LSRs' VRFs.

mplsL3VpnIfConfTable

 This table represents the MPLS L3VPN-enabled interfaces that are
 associated with a specific VRF as represented in the aforementioned
 mplsL3VpnVrfTable.  Each entry in this table corresponds to an
 entry in the Interfaces MIB.  In addition, each entry extends its
 corresponding entry in the Interfaces MIB to contain specific MPLS
 L3VPN information.  Due to this correspondence, certain objects
 such as traffic counters are not found in this MIB to avoid
 overlap, but instead are found in the Interfaces MIB RFC2863.

mplsL3VpnVrfPerfTable

 This table contains objects to measure the performance of MPLS
 L3VPNs and augments the mplsL3VpnVrfTable.  High capacity counters
 are provided for objects that are likely to wrap around quickly on
 objects such as high-speed interface counters.

mplsL3VpnVrfRouteTable

 The table contains the objects necessary to configure and monitor
 routes used by a particular VRF.  This includes a cross-connect
 pointer into the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB's mplsXCTable, which may be used
 to refer that entry to its label stack used to label switch that
 entry.

MplsVpnVrfRTTable

 The table contains the objects necessary to configure and monitor
 route targets for a particular VRF.

Example of MPLS L3VPN Setup

 In this section, we provide a brief example of using the MIB
 objects described in the following section.  While this example is
 not meant to illustrate every nuance of the MIB, it is intended as
 an aid to understanding some of the key concepts.  It is our intent
 that it is read only after the reader has gone through the MIB
 itself.
 This configuration is under the assumption that 1) MPLS has been
 pre-configured in the network, through enabling LDP or Resource
 Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE); 2) OSPF or
 Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) has been pre-
 configured; and 3) BGP sessions have been established between PEs.
 Defining the VRF, the route target, and route distinguisher:

In mplsL3VpnVrfTable: {

 mplsL3VpnVrfName               = "RED",
 mplsL3VpnVrfDescription        = "Intranet of Company ABC",
 mplsL3VpnVrfRD                 = "100:1", -- octet string
 mplsL3VpnVrfRowStatus          = createAndGo(4)

}

In mplsL3VpnVrfRouteTable: {

 mplsL3VpnVrfRTRowStatus."Red"."100:1".import = createAndGo,
 mplsL3VpnVrfRTRowStatus."Red"."100:1".export = createAndGo

}

    by containing the mplsXCIndex of that cross-connect entry.
    The string containing the single-octet 0x00 indicates that
    a label stack is not associated with this route entry.  This
    can be the case because the label bindings have not yet
    been established, or because some change in the agent has
    removed them.
    When the label stack associated with this VRF route is created,
    it MUST establish the associated cross-connect
    entry in the mplsXCTable and then set that index to the value
    of this object.  Changes to the cross-connect object in the
    mplsXCTable MUST automatically be reflected in the value of
    this object.  If this object represents a static routing entry,
    then the manager must ensure that this entry is maintained
    consistently in the corresponding mplsXCTable as well."

    which the mplsNumVrfRouteMaxThreshExceeded notification will
    be reissued after the maximum value has been exceeded (or

    mplsL3VpnVrfConfRteMxThrshTime, only a single notification will
    be issued to indicate the first instance of the error condition

    continually added and removed to/from a VRF after it has
    reached its maximum value.  The default value is 0.  If this
    value is set to 0, the agent should issue a notification

Security Considerations

It is clear that these MIB modules are potentially useful for monitoring of MPLS LSRs supporting L3 MPLS VPN. This MIB module 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 mplsL3VpnVrfRouteTable, mplsL3VpnIfConfTable, and

    mplsL3VpnVrfTable tables collectively contain objects that may
    be used to provision MPLS VRF interfaces and configuration.
    Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in
    disruption of traffic on the network.  This is especially true
    if these VRFs have been previously provisioned and are in use.
    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 mplsL3VpnVrfTable, mplsL3VpnIfConfTable tables collectively

    show the VRF interfaces and associated VRF configurations as
    well as their linkages to other MPLS-related configuration
    and/or performance statistics.  Administrators not wishing to
    reveal 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.

IANA Considerations

As described in MPLS-TC-STD-MIB RFC3811, MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree. There is one MPLS-related MIB module contained in this document. The following subsection requests IANA for a new assignment under the mplsStdMIB subtree. New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in RFC2434.

IANA Considerations for MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB

The IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 11 } to the MPLS-L3VPN-STD-MIB module specified in this document.
