Introduction
This document defines two MIB modules for monitoring IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) Devices, including Exporters and Collectors. While most of the objects defined by the IPFIX MIB module must be implemented, some objects may be implemented corresponding to the functionality implemented in the equipment. Since the IPFIX architecture RFC5470 foresees the possibility of using Filtering and/or Sampling functions to reduce the data volume, this document also provides the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module, which contains the standardized selection methods and is controlled by IANA. The full configuration of the IPFIX Metering Process is out of the scope of these MIB modules.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 RFC2119.
IPFIX Documents Overview
The IPFIX protocol provides network administrators with access to IP Flow information. The architecture for the export of measured IP Flow information out of an IPFIX Exporting Process to a Collecting Process is defined in RFC5470, per the requirements defined in RFC3917. The protocol document RFC5101 specifies how IPFIX Data Records and Templates are carried via a congestion-aware transport protocol from IPFIX Exporting Processes to IPFIX Collecting Processes. IPFIX has a formal description of IPFIX Information Elements -- their name, type, and additional semantic information -- as specified in RFC5102. Finally, RFC5472 describes what type of applications can use the IPFIX protocol and how they can use the information provided. It furthermore shows how the IPFIX framework relates to other architectures and frameworks.
It is assumed that Flow metering, export, and collection are performed according to the IPFIX architecture defined in RFC5470. The monitored configuration parameters of the export and collection of Flow Templates and Data Records are modeled according to RFC5101. Packet selection methods that may be optionally used by the IPFIX Metering Process are not considered in this MIB document. They are defined in the Packet Sampling (PSAMP) framework RFC5474 and Sampling techniques RFC5475 documents. Nevertheless, the basis for defining Sampling and Filtering functions is given with the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module. Since the PSAMP export protocol RFC5476 is based on the IPFIX protocol, the Sampling and Filtering functions can be added to the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module as needed.
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 MIB modules that are compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 RFC2578, STD 58, RFC 2579 RFC2579 and STD 58, RFC 2580 RFC2580.
Terminology
The definitions of basic terms such as IP Traffic Flow, Exporting Process, Collecting Process, Observation Points, etc. can be found in the IPFIX protocol document RFC5101.
Structure of the IPFIX MIB
The IPFIX MIB module consists of seven main tables: the Transport Session table, the Template table and the corresponding Template Definition table, the Export table, the Metering Process table, the Observation Point table, and the Selection Process table. Since the IPFIX architecture RFC5470 foresees the possibility of using Filtering and/or Sampling functions to reduce the data volume, the IPFIX MIB module provides the basic objects for these functions with the Selection Process table. The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module, defined in the next section, provides the standard Filtering and Sampling functions that can be referenced in the ipfixSelectionProcessTable.
All remaining objects contain statistical values for the different tables contained in the MIB module.
The following subsections describe all tables in the IPFIX MIB module.
The Transport Session Table
The Transport Session is the basis of the MIB module. The Transport Session table (ipfixTransportSessionTable) contains all Transport Sessions between the Exporter and Collector. The table specifies the transport layer protocol of the Transport Session and, depending on that protocol, further parameters for the Transport Session. In the case of UDP and TCP, these are the source and destination address as
well as the source and destination port. For the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), the table contains ipfixTransportSessionSctpAssocId, which is the index for the SCTP association in the SCTP MIB module RFC3873. The mode of operation of the device, i.e., whether the Transport Session is used for collecting or exporting, is given in the ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode object. Further on, the table contains the configured refresh parameters for Templates and Options Templates that are used across unreliable connections such as UDP. Finally, the IPFIX version that is exported or collected by this Transport Session and a status of the Transport Session are given in the table.
To illustrate the use of this table, let us assume the following scenario: we have an Exporter on IP address 192.0.2.22 and a Collector on IP address 192.0.2.37. The Exporter uses TCP to export Templates and Data Records. The same Exporter also exports, with UDP, to a Collector with the IP address of 192.0.2.44. This would lead to the following Transport Session table on the Exporter:
ipfixTransportSessionTable (1)
|
+- ipfixTransportSessionEntry (1)
|
+- index (5) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
| +- ipfixTransportSessionIndex (1) = 5
| +- ipfixTransportSessionProtocol (2) = 6 (TCP)
| +- ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddressType (3) = 1 (ipv4)
| +- ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress (4) = 192.0.2.22
| +- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddressType (5) = 1 (ipv4)
| +- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress (6) = 192.0.2.37
| +- ipfixTransportSessionSourcePort (7) = 7653
| +- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationPort (8) = 4739
| +- ipfixTransportSessionSctpAssocId (9) = 0
| +- ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode (10) = exporting(1)
| +- ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshTimeout (11) = 0
| +- ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshTimeout (12) = 0
| +- ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshPacket (13) = 0
| +- ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshPacket (14) = 0
| +- ipfixTransportSessionIpfixVersion (15) = 10
| +- ipfixTransportSessionStatus (16) = 2 (active)
.
.
.
+- index (11) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
+- ipfixTransportSessionIndex (1) = 11
+- ipfixTransportSessionProtocol (2) = 17 (UDP)
+- ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddressType (3) = 1 (ipv4)
+- ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress (4) = 192.0.2.22
+- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddressType (5) = 1 (ipv4)
+- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress (6) = 192.0.2.44
+- ipfixTransportSessionSourcePort (7) = 14287
+- ipfixTransportSessionDestinationPort (8) = 4739
+- ipfixTransportSessionSctpAssocId (9) = 0
+- ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode (10) = exporting(1)
+- ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshTimeout (11) = 100
+- ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshTimeout (12)
| = 100
+- ipfixTransportSessionTemplateRefreshPacket (13) = 10
+- ipfixTransportSessionOptionsTemplateRefreshPacket (14) = 10
+- ipfixTransportSessionIpfixVersion (15) = 10
+- ipfixTransportSessionStatus (16) = 2 (active)
The values in parentheses are the OID numbers. The Collectors would then have the same entry, except that the index would most likely differ and the ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode value would be collecting(2).
The Template Table
The Template table lists all Templates (including Options Templates) that are sent (by an Exporter) or received (by a Collector). The (Options) Templates are unique per Observation Domain and per Transport Session. Note that the Transport Session also gives the device mode, i.e., Exporter or Collector. Thus, the table is indexed by
o the Transport Session Index (ipfixTransportSessionIndex) and
o the Observation Domain ID (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId).
It contains the Set ID and an access time denoting the time when the (Options) Template was last sent or received.
To resume the above example, the Exporter may want to export a Template and an Options Template for each Transport Session defined above. This leads to the following Template table, which defines the Template and Options Template:
ipfixTemplateTable (3)
|
+- ipfixTemplateEntry (1)
|
+- index (5) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
| +- index (3) (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId)
| + index (257) (ipfixTemplateId)
| | +- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
| | +- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 257
| | +- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 2
| | +- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
| | = 2008-7-1,12:49:11.2,+2:0
| |
| + index (264) (ipfixTemplateId)
| +- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
| +- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 264
| +- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 3
| +- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
. = 2008-7-1,12:47:04.8,+2:0
.
.
.
+- index (11) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
+- index (3) (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId)
+ index (273) (ipfixTemplateId)
| +- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
| +- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 273
| +- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 2
| +- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
| = 2008-7-1,12:49:11.2,+2:0
|
+ index (289) (ipfixTemplateId)
+- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
+- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 289
+- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 3
+- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
= 2008-7-1,12:47:04.8,+2:0
We assume that the Transport Session that is stored with index 5 in the Transport Session table of the Exporter is stored with index 17 in the Transport Session table of the (corresponding) Collector. Then, the Template table would look as follows:
ipfixTemplateTable (3)
|
+- ipfixTemplateEntry (1)
|
+- index (17) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
+- index (3) (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId)
+ index (257) (ipfixTemplateId)
| +- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
| +- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 257
| +- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 2
| +- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
| = 2008-7-1,12:49:11.8,+2:0
|
+ index (264) (ipfixTemplateId)
+- ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId (1) = 3
+- ipfixTemplateId (2) = 264
+- ipfixTemplateSetId (3) = 3
+- ipfixTemplateAccessTime (4)
= 2008-7-1,12:47:05.3,+2:0
The table on the second Collector would be analogous to the one shown above.
The Template Definition Table
The Template Definition table lists all the Information Elements contained in a Template or Options Template. Therefore, it has the same indexes as the corresponding Template table plus the Template ID. Its own index denotes the order of the Information Element inside the Template. Besides the Information Element ID and the length of the encoded value, the table contains the enterprise number for enterprise-specific Information Elements and flags for each Information Element. The flags indicate whether the Information Element is used for scoping or as a Flow Key.
To resume the above example again, the Exporter is configured to export the octets received and dropped at the Observation Point since the last export of these values. In addition, it exports the start and end time of the Flow relative to the timestamp contained in the IPFIX header. This leads to the following Template Definition table on the Exporter:
ipfixTemplateDefinitionTable (4)
|
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionEntry (1)
|
+- index (5) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
+- index (3) (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId)
+ index (257) (ipfixTemplateId)
+- index (1) (ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex (1) = 1
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeId (2) = 158
| | (flowStartDeltaMicroseconds)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeLength (3) = 4
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionEnterpriseNumber (4) = 0
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionFlags (5) = 0
|
+- index (2) (ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex (1) = 2
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeId (2) = 159
| | (flowEndDeltaMicroseconds)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeLength (3) = 4
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionEnterpriseNumber (4) = 0
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionFlags (5) = 0
|
+- index (3) (ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex (1) = 3
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeId (2) = 1
| | (octetDeltaCount)
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeLength (3) = 8
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionEnterpriseNumber (4) = 0
| +- ipfixTemplateDefinitionFlags (5) = 0
|
+- index (4) (ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex)
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIndex (1) = 4
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeId (2) = 132
| (droppedOctetDeltaCount)
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionIeLength (3) = 8
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionEnterpriseNumber (4) = 0
+- ipfixTemplateDefinitionFlags (5) = 0
The corresponding table entry on the Collector is the same, except that it would have another ipfixTransportSessionIndex, e.g., 17 as in the previous example.
The Export Table
On Exporters, the Export table (ipfixExportTable) can be used to support features like failover, load-balancing, duplicate export to several Collectors, etc. The table has three indexes that link an entry with
o the Metering Process table (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId; see
below) and
o the Transport Session table (ipfixTransportSessionIndex).
Those entries with the same ipfixExportIndex and the same ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId define a Transport Session group. The member type for each group member describes its functionality. All Transport Sessions referenced in this table MUST have a ipfixTransportSessionDeviceMode value of exporting(1).
If the Exporter does not use Transport Session grouping, then each ipfixExportIndex contains a single ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId, and thus a single Transport Session (ipfixTransportSessionIndex); this session MUST have a member type value of primary(1).
For failover, a Transport Session group can contain one Transport Session with member type primary(1) and several Transport Sessions with type secondary(2). Entries with other member types are not allowed for that type of group. For load-balancing or parallel export, all Transport Sessions in the group MUST have the same member type -- either loadBalancing(4) or parallel(3).
The algorithms used for failover or load-balancing are out of the scope of this document.
To continue the example, we assume that the Exporter uses the two connections shown in the examples above as one primary Transport Session protected by a secondary Transport Session. The Exporter then has the following entries in the ipfixExportTable:
ipfixExportTable (5)
|
+- ipfixExportEntry (1)
|
+- index (7) (ipfixExportIndex)
| +- index (9) (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId)
| | +- index (5) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
| | +- ipfixExportIndex (1) = 7
| | +- ipfixExportMemberType (2) = 1 (primary)
| |
| +- index (11) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
| +- ipfixExportIndex (1) = 7
| +- ipfixExportMemberType (2) = 2 (secondary)
|
+- index (8) (ipfixExportIndex)
+- index (9) (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId)
+- index (5) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
| +- ipfixExportIndex (1) = 8
| +- ipfixExportMemberType (2) = 2 (secondary)
+- index (11) (ipfixTransportSessionIndex)
+- ipfixExportIndex (1) = 8
+- ipfixExportMemberType (2) = 1 (primary)
The example shows that the Exporter uses the Metering Process cache (index (9)), explained below, to export IPFIX Data Records for Transport Sessions 5 and 11. Templates 257 and 264 defined above are exported within Transport Session 5 as primary, while the secondary Transport Session is 11. Templates 273 and 289 are exported within Transport Session 11 as primary, while the secondary Transport Session is 5.
Here are the steps required by a manager in order to understand what the backups are (if any) for Template Records exported from a specific Exporter to a specific Collector:
1. Look up the Collector IP address in the
ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress object (in the ipfixTransportSessionTable).
2. From the same row, double-check the Exporter IP address in the
ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress object.
3. From the same row, write down the ipfixTransportSessionIndex
value.
4. Use that ipfixTransportSessionIndex value in the
ipfixTemplateTable and look up the pairs of (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId, ipfixTemplateId). From there, the manager deduces the Template Record(s) (ipfixTemplateId), exported from the Observation Domain(s) (ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId) on the tracked Exporter (ipfixTransportSessionSourceAddress) to the tracked Collector (ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress).
5. Reusing the same ipfixTransportSessionIndex in the
ipfixExportTable, look in the table for a value of ipfixExportMemberType that equals "primary". Note that there could be multiple entries for which the ipfixExportMemberType equals "primary" in the ipfixExportTable, so multiple iterations might be required until the correct value of ipfixTransportSessionIndex is found.
6. From the same row, write down the ipfixExportIndex value.
7. In the ipfixExportTable, under the same three index values
(ipfixExportIndex, ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId, and ipfixTransportSessionIndex), look up the entries for which ipfixExportMemberType is different than "primary". Write down the associated ipfixTransportSessionIndex value.
8. From the ipfixTransportSessionTable, look up the Transport
Session details for this ipfixTransportSessionIndex value -- for example, the secondary Collector IP address and port (ipfixTransportSessionDestinationAddress and ipfixTransportSessionSourcePort).
The Metering Process Table
The Metering Process, as defined in RFC5101, consists of a set of functions. Maintaining the Flow Records is one of them. This function is responsible for passing the Flow Records to the Exporting Process and also for detecting Flow expiration. The Flow Records that are maintained by the Metering Process can be grouped by the Observation Points at which they are observed. The instance that maintains such a group of Flow Records is a kind of cache. For this reason, the Metering Process table (ipfixMeteringProcessTable) is indexed by cache IDs (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId). Each cache can be maintained by a separate instance of the Metering Process. To specify the Observation Point(s) where the Flow Records are gathered, the ipfixMeteringProcessObservationPointGroupRef may contain an ipfixObservationPointGroupId from the Observation Point table (ipfixObservationPointTable), which is described in the next subsection. If an Observation Point is not specified for the Flow
Records, the ipfixMeteringProcessObservationPointGroupRef MUST be zero(0). The timeouts (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheActiveTimeout and ipfixMeteringProcessCacheIdleTimeout) specify when Flows are expired.
ipfixMeteringProcessTable (6)
|
+- ipfixMeteringProcessEntry (1)
|
+- index (9) (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId)
+- ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId (1) = 9
+- ipfixMeteringProcessObservationPointGroupRef (2) = 17
+- ipfixMeteringProcessCacheActiveTimeout (3) = 100
+- ipfixMeteringProcessCacheIdleTimeout (4) = 100
The Observation Point Table
The Observation Point table (ipfixObservationPointTable) groups Observation Points with the ipfixObservationPointGroupId. Each entry contains the Observation Domain ID in which the Observation Point is located and a reference to the ENTITY MIB module RFC4133 or the Interfaces MIB module RFC2863. The objects in the ENTITY MIB module referenced by ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity, or the objects in the Interfaces MIB module referenced by ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface, denote the Observation Point. At least one reference for the objects ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity or ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface MUST exist for a valid Observation Point entry. If a reference to the Observation Point is given in both object ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity and ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface, then both MUST point to the same physical interface. However, if one of two references (ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity or ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface) cannot be given, its reference MUST be 0. In addition, a direction can be given to render more specifically which Flow to monitor.
ipfixObservationPointTable (7)
|
+- ipfixObservationPointEntry (1)
|
+- index (17) (ipfixObservationPointGroupId)
+- index (1) (ipfixObservationPointIndex)
| +- ipfixObservationPointGroupId (1) = 17
| +- ipfixObservationPointIndex (2) = 1
| +- ipfixObservationPointObservationDomainId (3) = 3
| +- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity (4) = 6
| +- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface(5) = 0
| +- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntityDirection (6)
= 3 (both)
|
+- index (2) (ipfixObservationPointIndex)
+- ipfixObservationPointGroupId (1) = 17
+- ipfixObservationPointIndex (2) = 2
+- ipfixObservationPointObservationDomainId (3) = 3
+- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity (4) = 0
+- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface (5) = 0
+- ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntityDirection (6)
= 1 (ingress)
The Selection Process Table
This table supports the usage of Filtering and Sampling functions, as described in RFC5470. It contains lists of functions per Metering Process cache (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId). The selection process index ipfixSelectionProcessIndex forms groups of selection methods that are applied to an observed packet stream. The selection process selector index (ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex) indicates the order in which the functions are applied to the packets observed at the Observation Points associated with the Metering Process cache. The selection methods are applied in increasing order; i.e., selection methods with a lower ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex are applied first. The functions are referenced by object identifiers pointing to each function with its parameters. If the selection method does not use parameters, then it MUST point to the root of the function subtree (see also Section 6). If the function uses parameters, then it MUST point to an entry in the parameter table of the selection method. If no Filtering or Sampling function is used for a Metering Process, then an entry for the Metering Process SHOULD be created that points to the Select All function (ipfixFuncSelectAll).
The Statistical Tables
Statistical tables that augment the ipfixTransportSessionTable, ipfixTemplateTable, ipfixMeteringProcessTable, and ipfixSelectionProcessTable have been defined. All the statistical tables contain a discontinuity object that holds a timestamp denoting the time when a discontinuity event occurred, in order to notify the management system that the counters contained in those tables might not be continuous anymore.
The Transport Session Statistical Table
The Transport Session Statistical table (ipfixTransportSessionStatsTable) augments the ipfixTransportSessionTable with statistical values. It contains the rate (in bytes per second) at which it receives or sends out IPFIX Messages; the number of bytes, packets, messages, Records, Templates, and Options Templates received or sent; and the number of messages that were discarded.
The Template Statistical Table
This table contains a statistical value for each Template. It augments the Template table (ipfixTemplateTable) and specifies the number of Data Records exported or collected for the Template.
The Metering Process Statistical Table
This table augments the Metering Process table (ipfixMeteringProcessTable). It contains the statistical values for the exported Data Records and the number of unused cache entries.
The Selection Process Statistical Table
This table augments the Selection Process table (ipfixSelectionProcessTable) and introduces two generic statistical values: the number of packets observed and the number of packets dropped by the selection method.
Structure of the IPFIX SELECTOR MIB
The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module defined in this section provides the standard Filtering and Sampling functions that can be referenced in the ipfixSelectionProcessTable. All standard Filtering and Sampling functions MUST be registered in the subtree under object ipfixSelectorFunctions (iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2. ipfixSelectorMIB.ipfixSelectorObjects.ipfixSelectorFunctions, or 1.3.6.1.2.1.194.1.1). The top-level OIDs in the subtree under object
ipfixSelectorFunctions MUST be registered in a sub-registry maintained by IANA at http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers. The first entry in this subtree is the Select All function (ipfixFuncSelectAll), defined in this document as {ipfixSelectorFunctions 1}.
New Selector Functions MUST be registered at IANA and are subject to Expert Review RFC5226, i.e., review by one of a group of experts designated by an IETF Area Director. The group of experts MUST check the requested MIB objects for completeness and accuracy of the description. Requests for MIB objects that duplicate the functionality of existing objects SHOULD be declined. The smallest available OID SHOULD be assigned to new MIB objects. The specification of new MIB objects SHOULD follow the structure specified in Section 6.1 and MUST be published using a well- established and persistent publication medium. The experts will initially be drawn from the Working Group Chairs and document editors of the IPFIX and PSAMP Working Groups.
The Selector Functions
The following figure shows what the MIB tree usually should look like. It already contains ipfixFuncSelectAll. The subtree in ipfixFuncF2 gives the basic structure that all selection methods SHOULD follow.
ipfixSelectorFunctions | +- ipfixFuncSelectAll | | | +- ipfixFuncSelectAllAvail (is the function available?) | +- ipfixFuncF2 | | | +- ipfixFuncF2Avail (is the function F2 available?) | | | +- ipfixFuncF2Parameters (a table with parameters) ... | +- ipfixFuncFn...
The selection method SHOULD be designed as a MIB subtree introduced by an object with the name ipfixFunc appended by a function name. The objects in this subtree SHOULD be prefixed by this name. If the function is named Fx, then we would start a subtree with an OID named ipfixFuncFx. This subtree should contain an object ipfixFuncFxAvail that has the type TruthValue. If a selection method takes parameters, the MIB should contain a table named
ipfixFuncFxParameters, which should contain all the parameters that the selection method specifies. An entry in this table will be referenced by the IPFIX MIB module if the selection method with the parameters is used.
To illustrate the structure defined above, the following contains an example of a function MyFunc that holds three integer parameters Param1, Param2, and Param3. In the example, there are currently two instances of the parameter sets, defined with indexes 1 and 4.
ipfixSelectorFunctions (1)
|
+- ipfixFuncMyFunc (?)
|
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncAvail (1) = true
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncParameters (2)
|
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncParametersEntry (1)
|
+- index (1) (ipfixFuncMyFuncParametersIndex)
| +- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam1 (1) = 47
| +- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam2 (2) = -128
| +- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam3 (3) = 19
|
+- index(4) (ipfixFuncMyFuncParametersIndex)
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam1 (1) = 19
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam2 (2) = -1
+- ipfixFuncMyFuncParam3 (3) = 728
If the function defined above is referenced in the IPFIX MIB module, the ipfixSelectionProcessTable would look as follows:
ipfixSelectionProcessTable (8)
|
+- ipfixSelectionProcessEntry (1)
|
+- index (9) (ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId)
+- index (1) (ipfixSelectionProcessIndex)
+- index (1) (ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex)
| +- ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorFunction (3)
| = ipfixSelectorFunctions.?.2.1.4
+- index (2) (ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex)
+- ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorFunction (3)
= ipfixSelectorFunctions.?.2.1.1
This means that for the ipfixMeteringProcessCacheId(9), a Selection Process with index 1 is created that applies the same function two times but with different parameter sets. First, the function MyFunc is applied with the parameters of the set with index 4, and then with the parameters of the set with index 1.
Relationship to Other MIB Modules
Besides the usual imports from the SNMP Standards RFC2578, RFC2579, and RFC2580, the IPFIX MIB module references the ENTITY MIB module RFC4133 and the Interfaces MIB module RFC2863.
Relationship to the ENTITY MIB and Interfaces MIB
The Observation Point table (ipfixObservationPointTable) contains a reference to the ENTITY MIB module RFC4133 (ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity) and a reference to the Interfaces MIB module RFC2863 (ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface). If the implementers of the IPFIX MIB module want to specify the physical entity where Flows are observed, then they SHOULD also implement the ENTITY MIB and/or the Interfaces MIB module. The implementation of the ENTITY MIB and/or the Interfaces MIB module is OPTIONAL. If one of them is not implemented, then all values of the respective column ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity or ipfixObservationPointPhysicalInterface in the Observation Point table are zero and the values of the ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntityDirection columns are unknown(0), if none of them are defined.
MIB Modules Required for IMPORTS
The IPFIX MIB module requires the modules SNMPv2-SMI RFC2578, SNMPv2-TC RFC2579, and SNMPv2-CONF RFC2580. Further on, it imports the textual conventions InetAddressType and InetAddress from the INET ADDRESS MIB module RFC4001.
The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module also requires the modules SNMPv2-SMI RFC2578, SNMPv2-TC RFC2579, and SNMPv2-CONF RFC2580.
MIB Definitions
This section contains the definitions of the IPFIX-MIB module and the IPFIX-SELECTOR-MIB module. There are different mandatory groups defined for Collector and Exporter implementations. The statistical objects are made OPTIONAL.

DESCRIPTION
"The type of member Transport Session in a Transport

The following values are valid:
unknown(0)
This value MUST be used if the status of the group

This value is used for a group member that is used as
the primary target of an Exporter. Other group members
(with the same ipfixExportIndex and

primary(1) but MUST have the value secondary(2).
This value MUST also be specified if the Exporter does
not support Transport Session grouping. In this case,
the group contains only one Transport Session.
secondary(2)
This value is used for a group member that is used as a
secondary target of an Exporter. The Exporter will use
one of the targets specified as secondary(2) within the
same Transport Session group when the primary target is
not reachable.
parallel(3)
This value is used for a group member that is used for
duplicate exporting (i.e., all group members identified
by the ipfixExportIndex are exporting the same Records
in parallel). This implies that all group members MUST
have the same member type (i.e., parallel(3)).
loadBalancing(4)
This value is used for a group member that is used
as one target for load-balancing. This means that a

The Selector Functions are grouped into Selection Processes
by the ipfixSelectionProcessIndex. The Selector Functions
are applied within the Selection Process to the packets
observed for the given Metering Process cache in increasing
order as indicated by the ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex.
This means Selector Functions with a lower
ipfixSelectionProcessSelectorIndex are applied first.
The remaining packets are accounted for in Flow Records.
Since IPFIX does not define any Selector Function (except
selecting every packet), this is a placeholder for future
use and a guideline for implementing enterprise-specific
Selector Function objects.
The following object tree should help the reader visualize
how the Selector Function objects should be implemented:
ipfixSelectorFunctions
|
+- ipfixFuncSelectAll
| |
| +- ipfixFuncSelectAllAvail (is the function available?)
|
+- ipfixFuncF2
| |
| +- ipfixFuncF2Avail (is the function F2 available?)
| |
| +- ipfixFuncF2Parameters (a table with parameters)
...
|
+- ipfixFuncFn...

contain a table with an entry for each set of parameters
used at the Exporter."

DESCRIPTION
"The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB module defined in this section
provides the standard Filtering and Sampling functions that
can be referenced in the ipfixSelectionProcessTable. All
standard Filtering and Sampling functions MUST be registered
in the subtree under object ipfixSelectorFunctions
(1.3.6.1.2.1.194.1.1). The top-level OIDs in the subtree
under object ipfixSelectorFunctions MUST be registered in a
sub-registry maintained by IANA at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/>.
New Selector Functions MUST be registered at IANA and are
subject to Expert Review RFC5226, i.e., review by one of a
group of experts designated by an IETF Area Director. The
group of experts MUST check the requested MIB objects for
completeness and accuracy of the description. Requests for
MIB objects that duplicate the functionality of existing
objects SHOULD be declined. The smallest available OID
SHOULD be assigned to new MIB objects. The specification
of new MIB objects SHOULD follow the structure specified in
RFC6615 and MUST be published using a well-
established and persistent publication medium. The experts
will initially be drawn from the Working Group Chairs and
document editors of the IPFIX and PSAMP Working Groups.

Security Considerations
There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB module via direct SNMP SET operations.
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 ipfixTransportSessionTable - contains configuration data that
might be sensitive because objects in this table may reveal information about the network infrastructure
o ipfixExportTable - contains configuration data that might be
sensitive because objects in this table may reveal information about the network infrastructure as well
o ipfixMeteringProcessTable - contains configuration data that might
be sensitive because objects in this table may reveal information about the IPFIX Device itself
o ipfixObservationPointTable - contains configuration data that
might be sensitive because objects in this table may reveal information about the IPFIX Device itself and the network infrastructure
o ipfixSelectorFunctions - currently contains no sensitive data but
might want to be secured anyway, since it may contain sensitive data in a future version
All other objects and tables contain no data that is considered sensitive.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec), 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.
Implementations MUST provide the security features described by the SNMPv3 framework (see RFC3410), including full support for authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM) RFC3414 with the AES cipher algorithm RFC3826. Implementations MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM) RFC5591 in combination with a secure transport such as SSH RFC5592 or TLS/DTLS RFC6353.
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.
10. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
ipfixMIB { mib-2 193 }
ipfixSelectorMIB { mib-2 194 }
The IPFIX SELECTOR MIB registry as defined in RFC5815 Section 10 has been removed by IANA, as its use is discontinued with this document.
IANA has created and maintains a sub-registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers, in which the top-level OIDs in the subtree under object ipfixSelectorFunctions MUST be registered. The initial version of this sub-registry should contain the following:
Sub-registry Name: IPFIX-SELECTOR-MIB Functions Reference: RFC6615 Registration Procedures: Expert Review RFC5226
Prefix: iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt. mib-2.ipfixSelectorMIB.ipfixSelectorObjects.ipfixSelectorFunctions (1.3.6.1.2.1.194.1.1)
Decimal Name Description Reference
------------------ ----------------- ---------
1 ipfixFuncSelectAll Select everything RFC6615
Additions to this sub-registry are subject to Expert Review RFC5226, i.e., review by one of a group of experts designated by an IETF Area Director. The group of experts MUST check the requested MIB objects for completeness and accuracy of the description. Requests for MIB objects that duplicate the functionality of existing objects SHOULD be declined. The smallest available OID SHOULD be assigned to new MIB objects. The specification of new MIB objects SHOULD follow the structure specified in Section 6.1 and MUST be published using a well-established and persistent publication medium. The experts will initially be drawn from the Working Group Chairs and document editors of the IPFIX and PSAMP Working Groups.
