Introduction
This memo defines an experimental 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 Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) [1] speakers.
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 [7].
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 [4], STD 58, RFC 2579 [5] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [6].
Overview
This MIB module contains four scalars and four tables, one deprecated. The tables are:
o The deprecated Requests Table, containing the longest-match table
used to determine the peer to send SA-Requests to for a given group. This table is deprecated because Requests were removed from MSDP before it became an RFC.
o The Peer Table, containing information on the system's peers.
o The Source-Active (SA) Cache Table, containing the SA cache
entries.
o The Mesh Group Table, containing the list of MSDP mesh groups to
which this system belongs.
This MIB module uses the IpAddress SYNTAX, making it only suitable for IPv4 systems. Although the desired direction for MIBs is to use InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 (and future formats as well), the MSDP protocol itself is IPv4-only, and the MSDP working group made an explicit decision not to create an IPv6 version of the protocol.
This MIB module is somewhat disorganized, with scalars before and after tables, holes in the OID space, tables with the RowStatus in the middle, and so on. This is because objects were added and removed as necessary as the MSDP protocol evolved, and the plan was to renumber the whole MIB when moving to the standard mib-2 tree. The MSDP Working Group then changed direction, publishing the MSDP protocol as Experimental. Since there were existing implementations using the strange object order under the experimental OID, the WG decided not to renumber the MIB and to publish it as experimental, keeping the experimental OID.

DESCRIPTION
"The state of MSDP on this MSDP speaker - globally enabled
or disabled.

::= { msdp 1 }
msdpCacheLifetime OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TimeTicks
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The lifetime given to SA cache entries when created or
refreshed. This is the [SG-State-Period] in the MSDP
spec. A value of 0 means no SA caching is done by this
MSDP speaker.
Changes to this object should be stored to non-volatile
memory.
This object does not measure time per se; instead, it
is the delta from the time at which an SA message is
received at which it should be expired if not refreshed.
(i.e., it is the value of msdpSACacheExpiryTime
immediately after receiving an SA message applying to
that row.) As such, TimeInterval would be a more
appropriate SYNTAX; it remains TimeTicks for backwards
compatibility."

DESCRIPTION
"The (conceptual) table listing group ranges and MSDP peers
used when deciding where to send an SA Request message, when
required. If SA Requests are not enabled, this table may be
empty.
In order to choose a peer to whom to send an SA Request for
a given group, G, the subset of entries in this table whose
(msdpRequestsPeerType, msdpRequestsPeer) tuple represents a
peer whose msdpPeerState is established are examined. The
set is further reduced by examining only those entries for
which msdpPeerRequestsGroupAddressType equals the address
type of G. The entries with the highest value of
msdpRequestsGroupPrefix are considered, where the group G
falls within the range described by the combination of
msdpRequestsGroup and msdpRequestsGroupPrefix. (This
sequence is commonly known as a 'longest-match' lookup.)
Finally, if multiple entries remain, the entry with the
lowest value of msdpRequestsPriority is chosen. The SA
Request message is sent to the peer described by this row."

to the table and old entries deleted.
msdpMeshGroupName and msdpMeshGroupPeerAddress must be
set to valid values before the row can be activated.
Since these are the table's INDEX, a row can be activated
by simply setting the msdpMeshGroupStatus variable.
It is not possible to modify other columns in the same
conceptual row when the status value is active(1),
because the only other objects in the row are part of the
INDEX. Changing one of these changes the row, so an old
row must be deleted and a new one created."

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. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
msdpEnabled
Obviously, by modifying msdpEnabled, an attacker could simply disable MSDP processing on the router.
msdpCacheLifetime
If allowed to modify msdpCacheLifetime, an attacker could set the value to a value lower than a peer's refresh interval, causing all state to time out and be refreshed.
msdpRequestsPeer, msdpRequestsStatus
If allowed to modify entries in the msdpRequestsTable, an attacker could cause this system to send MSDP Requests to an unknown system, or could simply remove the proper configuration. Note that the msdpRequestsTable is deprecated, and the MSDP Request functionality is not in the published MSDP spec.
msdpPeerTable objects
The writable objects in the msdpPeerTable are: msdpPeerLocalAddress, msdpPeerConnectRetryInterval, msdpPeerHoldTimeConfigured, msdpPeerKeepAliveConfigured, msdpPeerDataTtl, msdpPeerProcessRequestsFrom, msdpPeerStatus, and msdpPeerEncapsulationType. Of these, modifying msdpPeerIpAddress and msdpPeerStatus could cause a changed or deleted peer configuration. Modifying any of the other values could cause subtle protocol misbehavior.
msdpSACacheStatus
This writable object can be used to remove valid values from the router's SA cache.
msdpRPAddress
Changing this object can cause a failure of the Peer-RPF rules for SA messages sourced by this router.
msdpMeshGroupStatus
This object can be used to change this router's idea of its mesh group membership and those of its peers. Misconfiguration of mesh groups can cause subtle protocol misbehavior.
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 entire msdpPeerTable. Peer information can result in
discovering internal topology, which many want to keep secret.
o msdpNumSACacheEntries. The size of the SA Cache could reveal
whether this system has MSDP entries for public and/or private groups.
o The entire msdpSACacheTable. The active sources and groups in a
network could be private.
o The entire msdpMeshGroupTable. This information can also lead to
internal topology information.
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 [6], 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
Since this MIB is for an experimental protocol, it uses an experimental OID.
