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 objects used for managing the Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism for PIM. [I-D.ietf-pim-sm-v2-new], [I-D.ietf- pim-sm-bsr]. This draft was created by the removal of BSR MIB support from the draft PIM MIB [I-D.ietf-pim-mib-v2-new]. This draft contains the removed material, presented as a separate MIB. 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]. 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]. 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], STD 58, [RFC2579] and STD 58, [RFC2580]. 3. Overview This MIB module contains four tables. The tables are: 1. The BSR Candidate-RP Table, which contains one row for each multicast group address prefix for which the local router is to advertise itself as a Candidate-RP. 2. The BSR RP-Set Table, which contains one row for each group mapping that was learned via BSR. 3. The BSR Candidate-BSR Table, which contains Candidate-BSR configuration for the local router. 4. The BSR Elected BSR Table, which contains one row for each elected BSR. This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the IF-MIB McWalter Expires April 8, 2006 [Page 3] Internet-Draft PIM BSR MIB October 2005 [RFC2863], the INET-ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001] and the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB. 4.

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: TO DO 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: TO DO SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), there is still no control over whom on the secure network is allowed to access (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. 6. IANA Considerations PIM-BSR-MIB should be rooted under the mib-2 subtree. IANA is requested to assign { mib-2 XXX } to the PIM-BSR-MIB module specified in this document.
