1. 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 for modeling a Transport Profile (TP) based on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) [RFC3031].

This MIB module should be used for performing the OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) operations for MPLS Tunnel LSPs (Label Switched Paths), Pseudowires, and Sections.

At the time of this writing, SNMP SET is no longer recommended as a way to configure MPLS networks as was described in [RFC3812]. However, since the MIB modules specified in this document are intended to work in parallel with the MIB modules for MPLS specified in [RFC3812], certain objects defined here are specified with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write or read-create so that specifications of the base tables in [RFC3812] and the new MIB modules in this document are consistent. Although the example described in Section 6 specifies means to configure OAM identifiers for MPLS-TP Tunnels, this should be seen as indicating how the MIB values would be returned in the specified circumstances having been configured by alternative means.

2. 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 [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].

4. Feature List

The MPLS transport profile OAM identifiers MIB module is designed to satisfy the following requirements and constraints:

  • The MIB module supports configuration of OAM identifiers for MPLS point-to-point Tunnels, point-to-multipoint LSPs, co-routed bidirectional LSPs, associated bidirectional LSPs, and Pseudowires.

5. Brief Description of MIB Objects

The objects described in this section support the functionality described in [RFC5654] and [RFC6370]. The tables support both IP-compatible and ICC-based OAM identifiers configurations for MPLS Tunnels, LSPs, and Pseudowires.

5.1. mplsOamIdMegTable

The mplsOamIdMegTable is used to manage one or more Maintenance Entities (MEs) that belong to the same transport path.

When a new entry is created with mplsOamIdMegOperatorType set to ipCompatible (1), then as per [RFC6370] (MEG_ID for an LSP is LSP_ID, and MEG_ID for a PW is PW_Path_ID), MEP_ID can be automatically formed.

For an ICC-based transport path, the user is expected to configure the ICC identifier explicitly in this table for MPLS Tunnels, LSPs, and Pseudowires.

5.2. mplsOamIdMeTable

The mplsOamIdMeTable defines a relationship between two points (source and sink) of a transport path to which maintenance and monitoring operations apply. The two points that define an ME are called Maintenance Entity Group End Points (MEPs).

In between MEPs, there are zero or more intermediate points, called Maintenance Entity Group Intermediate Points (MIPs). MEPs and MIPs are associated with the MEG and can be shared by more than one ME in a MEG.

6. MPLS OAM Identifier Configuration for MPLS LSP: Example

In this section, we provide an example of the OAM identifier configuration for an MPLS co-routed bidirectional LSP.

This example provides usage of MEG and ME tables for management and monitoring operations of an MPLS LSP.

This example considers the OAM identifiers configuration on a head-end LSR to manage and monitor an MPLS LSP. Only relevant objects that are applicable for IP-based OAM identifiers of MPLS co-routed bidirectional LSPs are illustrated here.

In the mplsOamIdMegTable:

      {
        -- MEG index (Index to the table)
        mplsOamIdMegIndex                 = 1,
        mplsOamIdMegName                  = "MEG1",
        mplsOamIdMegOperatorType          = ipCompatible (1),
        mplsOamIdMegServicePointerType    = lsp (1),
        mplsOamIdMegMpLocation            = perNode (1),
      -- Mandatory parameters needed to activate the row go here
      
        mplsOamIdMegRowStatus             = createAndGo (4),
        mplsOamIdMegPathFlow
                             = coRoutedBidirectionalPointToPoint (2)
      }

This will create an entry in the mplsOamIdMegTable to manage and monitor the MPLS Tunnel.

The following ME table is used to associate the path information to a MEG.

In the mplsOamIdMeTable:

         {
         -- ME index (Index to the table)
          mplsOamIdMeIndex                  = 1,
         
         -- MP index (Index to the table)
          mplsOamIdMeMpIndex                = 1,
          mplsOamIdMeName                   = "ME1",
          mplsOamIdMeMpIfIndex              = 0,
         -- The source MEP ID is derived from the IP-compatible MPLS LSP
          mplsOamIdMeSourceMepIndex         = 0,
         -- The sink MEP ID is derived from the IP-compatible MPLS LSP
          mplsOamIdMeSinkMepIndex           = 0,
          mplsOamIdMeMpType                 = mep (1),
          mplsOamIdMeMepDirection           = down (2),
         --  RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column of an
         --  MPLS LSP
          mplsOamIdMeServicePointer         = mplsTunnelName.1.1.10.20,
         -- Mandatory parameters needed to activate the row go here
          mplsOamIdMeRowStatus              = createAndGo (4)
         }

An ME is a point-to-point entity. One ME has two such MEPs. A MEG is a group of one or more MEs. One MEG can have two or more MEPs.

For a point-to-point LSP, one MEG has one ME, and this ME is associated with two MEPs (source and sink MEPs) within a MEG. Each mplsOamIdMeIndex value denotes the ME within a MEG.

In the case of unidirectional point-to-point transport paths, a single unidirectional ME is defined to monitor it, and mplsOamIdMeServicePointer points to a unidirectional point-to-point path.

In the case of associated bidirectional point-to-point transport paths, two independent unidirectional MEs are defined to independently monitor each direction, and each mplsOamIdMeServicePointer MIB object points to a unique unidirectional transport path.
This has implications for transactions that terminate at or query a MIP, as a return path from a MIP to a source MEP does not necessarily exist within the MEG.

In the case of co-routed bidirectional point-to-point transport paths, a single bidirectional ME is defined to monitor both directions congruently, and the mplsOamIdMeServicePointer MIB object points to a co-routed bidirectional point-to-point transport path.

             In the case of unidirectional point-to-multipoint transport
             paths, a single unidirectional ME for each leaf is defined
             to monitor the transport path from the root to that leaf,

8. Security Considerations

This MIB relates to a system that will provide network connectivity and packet forwarding services. As such, improper manipulation of the objects represented by this MIB may result in denial of service to a large number of end-users.

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 opens devices to attack.

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:

  • The mplsOamIdMegTable and the mplsOamIdMeTable collectively show the MPLS OAM characteristics. If an administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable.

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 SHOULD provide the security features described by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include 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.

9. IANA Considerations

As described in [RFC4221] and [RFC6639], and as requested in the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB [RFC3811], MPLS-related Standards Track MIB modules should be rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree. The following subsection lists a new assignment that has been made by IANA under the mplsStdMIB subtree for the MPLS-OAM-ID-STD-MIB module defined in this document. New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in [RFC5226].

9.1. IANA Considerations for MPLS-OAM-ID-STD-MIB

IANA has to assign the OID { mplsStdMIB 21 } to the MPLS-OAM-ID-STD-MIB module specified in this document.
