Following are the goals, in defining this MIB: - To have a means for Service Providers to provision VPN service for subscribers, at the PE device. - To make the agent-side implementation simple, by not modifying the existing standard MIBs. - Define all the gluing tables that are needed toward this end. 6.0 The SNMP Network Management Framework The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components: o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1]. o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, which consists of RFC 2578 [5], RFC 2579 [6] and RFC 2580 [7]. o Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574 [12]. o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13]. o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15]. A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [22]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (e.g., use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB. 7.0 Overview of the Virtual Router MIB 7.1 SNMP Contexts for Management for Virtual Routers There is a need for a single agent to manage multiple Virtual Routers. The Architecture for describing Internet Management Frameworks [1] provides a way to support such cases. Managing multiple virtual routers requires that the PE management plane be subdivided into logical VR management domains. In the VR model of PPVPNs a single PE device may contain many virtual routers. Different management entities SHOULD be able to manage specific virtual routers and associated services. The Service Provider MUST be able to manage all virtual routers and associated services. Using SNMP contexts to group a collection of management information provides the following benefits: (1) Uses a standard framework defined by the IETF, allowing the product to remain flexible to all implementations of virtual router devices. (a) Use SNMPv2c Community String's (b) Use SNMPv3 contextName's (2) Prevents vendors from having to modify the standard MIBs, allowing the implementation to remain standards compliant. (3) Provides a framework that will work for RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, IP-FORWARDING, MPLS, and any other MIB that can be administratively grouped with a VR. The SNMP context for the Virtual Router instance can be specified in the VrConfigTable. The VrContextName columnar object is used to set the SNMPv2c Community String or the SNMPv3 contextName for a given VR. A virtual router context represents the set of MIB objects that could be administratively grouped within a VR. For example, each VR would maintain its own instance of routing protocol MIB tables. However, the ADMIN context would contain single instances of objects and tables that pertain to system wide configuration such as the Entity, Interfaces, and ATM MIBs. A management system using the SNMP context of a particular virtual router MUST be able to manage the virtual router without disrupting other virtual routers in the same PE device. For example, a PE can be subdivided into two 2 VRs running the OSPF routing protocol. Each VR will maintain a unique instance of the OSPF-MIB. Therefore, the ospfAreaTable of VR-A is distinct from the ospfAreaTable of VR-B. +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | SNMP entity (including Engine, Applications) | | | | | | | | example contextNames: | | | | | | | | "vr01" "vr09" "admin" | | | | --------- --------- ------------ | | | | | | | | | | +------|------------------|-------------------|--------------+ | | | | | | | +------|------------------|-------------------|--------------+ | | | MIB | instrumentation | | | | | | +---v------------+ +---v------------+ +----v-----------+ | | | | | context=vr01 | | context=vr09 | | context=admin | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | OSPF MIB | | | | OSPF MIB | | | | VR MIB | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | BGP MIB | | | | BGP MIB | | | | ATM MIB | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | IP MIB | | | | IP MIB | | | | ENTITY MIB | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | | other MIB | | | | other MIB | | | | IF MIB | | | | | | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | +------------+ | | | | | | ... | | ... | | ... | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Filtering mechanisms based on the SNMP context of a particular virtual router may implemented to allow different management entities to manage those objects and services provisioned the ôAdminö context. 7.2 VR Indexing While the standard protocol MIB tables are instantiated in the context specified using SNMP contexts, there may be tables that are defined with the VRID as index. The VRID is of local significance to a particular PE device, and need not be globally unique. Thus a particular VRID value assigned to a VR in one PE device may indicate a different VR in another PE device. The VRID has an Unsigned32 value, and this value is assigned by the management station. To aid the management station in assigning a VRID without conflict, the management station can get the 'NextAvailableVRID' from the PE device. A SNMP manager SHOULD NOT assume global significance of any VRID value other than 0. For those MIB tables instantiated in the virtual router context, indexing can only be assumed unique for that particular VR. However those indices in the "ADMIN" context are unique across the entire system, including all VRs. 7.3 Creation and Deletion of VRs The VR Config Table is used for this purpose. This is a read-create table and adding an entry into this table will create a VR. Removing an entry from this table marks the deletion of a VR. VRID 0 is assigned to the Administrative VR, which exists by default, and need not be created. Deletion of the Administrative VR will not be permitted. The VRID of the Administrative VR (VRID 0) should be a reserved VRID number. VRID 0 could be termed the "null VR" and it could be the context that manages the resource pool of unattached interfaces. Routing would then not exist in the context of Administrative VR. 7.4 Administrative and Operational Status of VRs VRs can be administratively turned down. When this is done, no packet forwarding via the VR takes place. VrOperStatus denotes the operational status of a VR. Currently the VrOperStatus is expected to change along the VrAdminStatus unless an error condition exists. 7.5 Binding interfaces to a VR Interfaces are bound to a VR, using vrIfConfigTable. This is a read-write table, and note that interfaces are not created through this table. The vrIfConfigTable MIB table is used to indicated the relationship between interfaces and virtual router IDs. For each interface present in the system, this table is used to provide the mapping from IfIndex to a unique VR. The table show which interfaces are ôattached or connectedö to a virtual router. An interface can not be attached to more than one VR. The "Admin" VR could be used to manage the resource pool of unattached interfaces. However interfaces would not be attached to VRID 0. 7.6 Setting per VR limits VRs consume resources on a device, and hence the following parameters defined in vrConfigTable are used to specify an upper bound of resource utilization: VrMaxRoutes - Specify the maximum number of routes that will be permitted in VR. This includes all routes, such as the statically configured routes, and the routes learnt via dynamic routing protocols. 7.7 Per VR Statistics In addition to those statistics available through the VR instantiated MIB tables, there are some per-VR statistics available through vrStatTable. 7.8 Traps This memo defines that VrUp and VrDown traps are generated just after VrOperStatus leaves, or just before it enters, the down state, respectively. (1) A transition into the down state will occur when an error is detected on a VR instance. (2) Departing the down state generally indicates that the VR is going to up, which is considered a "healthy" state. An exception to the above generation of VrUp/VrDown traps on changes in VrOperStatus, occurs when an VR is "flapping", i.e., when it is rapidly oscillating between the up and down states. If traps were generated for each such oscillation, the network and the network management system would be flooded with unnecessary traps. In such a situation, the agent should limit the rate at which it generates traps. This memo defines that enabling and disabling the VR traps is achieved by setting the VrTrapEnable to true(1) or false(2), respectively. By default, this object should have the value true(1). 8.0 Sample VR MIB Configuration Scenario 8.1 Creation of a VR Creating VR instances can be achieved using the following example. (1) Get the next available Virtual Router Id using the NextAvailableVrId, to create a VR: Using a context with 'read' access for system level entities. GetRequest { NextAvailableVrId.0 } Response { NextAvailableVrId.0 = 5555 } (2) In VrConfigTable, create VR Instance using VrRowStatus: Using a context with 'read-write' access for system level entities SetRequest { VrRowStatus.5555 createAndGo(4), VrName.5555 "BigTelcoVR", VrContextName.5555 "vr5555", VrTrapEnable.5555 true(1), VrAdminStatus.5555 up(1) } 9.0 Definition of the Virtual Router MIB -- -- VIRTUAL-ROUTER-MIB -- VIRTUAL-ROUTER-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS InterfaceIndex FROM IF-MIB InetAddressType, InetAddress FROM INET-ADDRESS-MIB OBJECT-GROUP, MODULE-COMPLIANCE, NOTIFICATION-GROUP FROM SNMPv2-CONF experimental, Unsigned32, OBJECT-TYPE, MODULE-IDENTITY, TimeTicks, NOTIFICATION-TYPE FROM SNMPv2-SMI TruthValue, DisplayString, RowStatus, TEXTUAL-CONVENTION FROM SNMPv2-TC; virtualRouterMIB MODULE-IDENTITY LAST-UPDATED "200301311200Z" ORGANIZATION "IETF PPVPN WG" CONTACT-INFO " Elwin Stelzer Eliazer Corona Networks, Inc. 630 Alder Drive Milpitas, CA 95035 USA Phone: +1-408-519-3832 Email: elwinietf@yahoo.com Samuel Hancock Corona Networks, Inc. 630 Alder Drive Milpitas, CA 95035 USA Phone: +1-408-519-3800 Ext 421 Email: hancoc_s@yahoo.com Benson Schliesser SAVVIS Communications 1 Savvis Parkway Town and Country, MO 63017 USA Phone: +1-314-628-7036 Email: bensons@savvis.net Joseph Laria Level Stream Research Wilmington, MA 01887 USA Phone: +1-978-884-3537 Emain: jlaria@levelstream.com " DESCRIPTION "The MIB is the definition of the managed objects for the Virtual Router."

This draft contributes to this. 10.3 Justification The WG should consider this document since it provides a means to configure and manage Virtual Router based PPVPNs. 11.0 Security Considerations The Administrative VR provides visibility into and control over multiple VPNs. As such, security considerations for implementations of the Administrative VR and associated control plane(s) are critical to the security of the VPNs supported on each PE device. Use of any vrContextName MUST be allowed in the Administrative VR. Additional authentication and security mechanisms SHOULD be used for SNMP access in the Administrative VR. VRs other than the Administrative VR MUST NOT have access to other VR®…s Instantiated MIBs, and MAY have access to their own instantiated MIBs. In VRs other than the Administrative VR, access to that VR®…s instantiated MIBs MAY be permitted via that VR®…s vrContextName. Use of any vrContextName other than that assigned to the accessed VR MUST result in an error, and implementations SHOULD provide a logging mechanism for such events. 12.0 Acknowledgments Special thanks to Joan Cucchiara for providing valuable comments on this MIB. 13.0 References [1] Harrington, D., Presuhn, R. and B.
