Status of This Memo

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

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 objects used for managing multicast function, independent of the specific multicast protocol(s) in use. This document obsoletes RFC 2932.

Introduction

This MIB describes objects used for managing IP multicast function, including IP multicast routing. These objects are independent of the specific multicast routing protocol in use. Managed objects specific to particular multicast protocols are defined elsewhere.

Terminology

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.

History

This document obsoletes RFC2932. The MIB module defined by this document is a re-working of the MIB module from RFC2932, with changes that include the following:

o This MIB module includes support for IPv6 addressing and the IPv6

  scoped address architecture.  RFC2932 supported only IPv4.

o This MIB module allows several multicast protocols to perform

  routing on a single interface, where RFC2932 assumed each
  interface supported at most one multicast routing protocol.
  Multicast routing protocols are now per-route, see
  ipMcastRouteProtocol.

o This MIB module includes objects that are not specific to

  multicast routing.  It allows management of multicast function on
  systems that do not perform routing, whereas RFC2932 was
  restricted to multicast routing.

o This MIB module includes a table of Source-Specific Multicast

  (SSM) address ranges to which SSM semantics RFC3569 should be
  applied.

o This MIB module includes a table of local applications that are

  receiving multicast data.

o This MIB module includes a table of multicast scope zones.

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 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, (RFC2578, RFC2579 and RFC2580).

Overview

This MIB module contains two scalars and eight tables. The tables are:

1. The IP Multicast Interface Table, which contains multicast

   information specific to interfaces.

2. The IP Multicast SSM Range Table, which contains one row per

   range of multicast group addresses to which Source-Specific
   Multicast semantics RFC3569 should be applied.

3. The IP Multicast Route Table, which contains multicast routing

   information for IP datagrams sent by particular sources to the IP
   multicast groups known to a system.

4. The IP Multicast Routing Next Hop Table, which contains

   information about next-hops for the routing of IP multicast
   datagrams.  Each entry is one of a list of next-hops on outgoing
   interfaces for particular sources sending to a particular
   multicast group address.

5. The IP Multicast Scope Boundary Table, which contains the

   boundaries configured for multicast scopes RFC2365.

6. The IP Multicast Scope Name Table, which contains human-readable

   names for multicast scopes.

7. The IP Multicast Local Listener Table, which contains identifiers

   for local applications that are receiving multicast data.

8. The IP Multicast Zone Table, which contains an entry for each

   scope zone known to a system, and maps each zone to the multicast
   address range that is the corresponding scope.

This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the IF-MIB RFC2863, the INET-ADDRESS-MIB RFC4001 and the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB.

IMPORTed MIB Modules and REFERENCE Clauses

The MIB modules defined in this document IMPORTs definitions normatively from the following MIB modules, beyond RFC2578, RFC2579, and RFC2580: HCNUM-TC RFC2856, IF-MIB RFC2863, IANA- RTPROTO-MIB, SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB RFC3411, INET-ADDRESS-MIB RFC4001, and LANGTAG-TC-MIB RFC5131.

This MIB module also includes REFERENCE clauses that make normative references to Administratively Scoped IP Multicast RFC2365, Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast Addresses RFC3306, IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture RFC4007, and IPv6 Addressing Architecture RFC4291.

Finally, this MIB module makes informative references to several RFCs in the text of DESCRIPTION clauses, including sysApplMIB RFC2287, IP-MIB RFC4293, Source-Specific Multicast RFC3569, Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode version 2 (PIM-SMv2) Protocol Specification RFC4601, Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM) RFC5015, and Tags for Identifying Languages RFC4646.

DESCRIPTION
        "The MIB module for management of IP Multicast, including
        multicast routing, data forwarding, and data reception.
        Copyright (C) The IETF Trust (2007).  This version of this

REVISION     "200711090000Z" -- 9 November 2007
DESCRIPTION  "Initial version, published as RFC 5132.
             This MIB module obsoletes IPMROUTE-STD-MIB defined by
             RFC2932.  Changes include the following:
             o  This MIB module includes support for IPv6 addressing
                and the IPv6 scoped address architecture.  RFC2932
                supported only IPv4.
             o  This MIB module allows several multicast protocols
                to perform routing on a single interface, where
                RFC2932 assumed each interface supported at most
                one multicast routing protocol.  Multicast routing
                protocols are now per-route, see
                ipMcastRouteProtocol.
             o  This MIB module includes objects that are not
                specific to multicast routing.  It allows management
                of multicast function on systems that do not perform
                routing, whereas RFC2932 was restricted to
                multicast routing.
             o  This MIB module includes a table of Source-Specific
                Multicast (SSM) address ranges to which SSM
                semantics RFC3569 should be applied.
             o  This MIB module includes a table of local
                applications that are receiving multicast data.
             o  This MIB module includes a table of multicast scope
                zones."

        For IPv6 SSM address ranges, only ranges prefixed by
        FF3x::/16 are permitted, where 'x' is a valid IPv6 RFC 4291
        multicast address scope.  The syntax of the address range is
        given by RFC 3306, Sections 4 and 7.
        For addresses of type ipv4z or ipv6z, the appended zone
        index is significant even though it lies beyond the prefix
        length.  The use of these address types indicate that this
        SSM range entry applies only within the given zone.  Zone
        index zero is not valid in this table.

        by ipMcastZoneScopeAddressType.
        Scoped IPv4 multicast address ranges are prefixed by
        239.0.0.0/8.  Scoped IPv6 multicast address ranges are
        FF0x::/16, where x is a valid RFC 4291 multicast scope.
        An IPv6 address prefixed by FF1x::/16 is a non-permanently-
        assigned address.  An IPv6 address prefixed by FF3x::/16 is
        a unicast-prefix-based multicast addresses.  A scope
        FF0x::/16 implies an identical scope for these other
        prefixes.  No separate FF1x::/16 or FF3x::/16 entries exist
        in this table.
        This address object is only significant up to

Security Considerations

SNMPv3

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 access (read/change/create/delete) them.

Writeable Objects

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. This section discusses and lists these elements.

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.

In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by SET operations on writeable objects include:

o Modifications to multicast routing behavior that prevent or

  disrupt services provided by the network, including (but not
  limited to) multicast data traffic delivery.

o Modifications to multicast routing behavior that allow

  interception or subversion of information that is carried by the
  network.  For example, attacks can be envisaged that would pass
  nominated multicast data streams through a nominated location,
  without the sources or listeners becoming aware of this
  subversion.

The following are the read-write and read-create objects defined in this MIB module.

ipMcastEnabled ipMcastDeviceConfigStorageType ipMcastInterfaceTtl ipMcastInterfaceRateLimit ipMcastInterfaceStorageType ipMcastSsmRangeRowStatus ipMcastSsmRangeStorageType ipMcastBoundaryStatus ipMcastBoundaryStorageType ipMcastScopeNameString ipMcastScopeNameDefault ipMcastScopeNameStatus ipMcastScopeNameStorageType

Readable Objects

As well as the writeable objects discussed above, there are a number of readable objects (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not- accessible) that 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.

In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by GET and/or NOTIFY operations include:

o Determination of the topology, disposition, and composition of the

  network.  This information may be commercially sensitive, and may
  also be used in preparation for attacks, including any of the
  attacks described above.

o Determinion of whether multicast data is flowing in the network,

  or has flowed recently, as well as the locations of senders and
  recipients.  An attacker can apply 'traffic analysis' to this
  data.  In some cases, the information revealed by traffic analyses
  can be as damaging as full knowledge of the data being
  transported.

IANA Considerations

IPMCAST-MIB is rooted under the mib-2 subtree. IANA has assigned { mib-2 168 } to the IPMCAST-MIB module specified in this document.

Acknowledgements

This MIB module is based on the original work in RFC2932 by K. McCloghrie, D. Farinacci, and D. Thaler.

Suggested IPv6 multicast MIBs by R. Sivaramu and R. Raghunarayan have been used for comparison while editing this MIB module.
