Introduction Current work is under way in the IETF to specify the CAPWAP Protocol [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-specification], which enables an Access Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination Points (WTPs). CAPWAP supports the use of various wireless technologies by the WTPs, with one being specified in the 802.11 binding document [I- D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211]. This document defines a MIB module that can be used to manage CAPWAP implementations for 802.11 wireless binding. This MIB module covers both configuration for WLAN and a way to reuse 802.11 MIB standard in series defined by IEEE 802.11 WG. The CAPWAP MIB document [I-D.yangshi-capwap-base-mib] defines a MIB module that can be used to manage the base CAPWAP protocol. 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 RFC 2119 [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 RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed Shi, Perkins Expires January 31, 2008 [Page 2] Internet-Draft CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB for IEEE 802.11 31 July 2007 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]. 3. Terminology This document uses terminology from the document describing the CAPWAP Protocol specification for 802.11 binding [I-D.ietf-capwap- protocol-binding-ieee80211]. Besides terminology defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard and CAPWAP specification, a important conception is WLAN. In the document, WLAN refers to a logical component instantiated on a WTP device. A single physical WTP may operate a number of WLANs. Each Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) and its constituent wireless terminal radios is denoted as a distinct WLAN on a physical WTP. To support physical WTP with multiple WLANs is an important feature for 802.11 binding, and it is also for MIB design. 4. Feature Checklist The CAPWAP Protocol MIB module (CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB) is designed to satisfy the following requirements and constraints: - From AC to centrally manage and monitor WTPs; - The MIB module could easily reuse current and future 802.11 MIB standard in series defined by IEEE 802.11 WG. The MIB module provides a way to access MIB objects defined these MIBs, and not require to redefine them. - The MIB module supports to configure WLAN; - The MIB module supports to keep PHY WTP and virtual AP mapping relationship; - The MIB module could be used for agent at either AC or WTP sides; 5. Outline According to [I-D.yangshi-capwap-base-mib], it will use easily reuse 802.11 MIB object for radio configuration and statistic. The CAPWAP- DOT11-MIB will provide a way to configure WLAN, also could easily reuse current and future 802.11 MIB standards. The main steps are as follow: - Create interface of 'WTP radio Shi, Perkins Expires January 31, 2008 [Page 3] Internet-Draft CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB for IEEE 802.11 31 July 2007 template' iftype, as specified in [IANAifType-MIB], then configure beacon interval these kinds parameter through 802.11 MIB and other 802.11 MIB (for example, 802.11e). - Create interface of 'WLAN Template interface' iftype, then configure AuthType these kinds parameter for a WLAN through 802.11 MIB and other 802.11 MIB (for example, 802.11i). - Add/Delete WLAN will create/delete the interface of 'WLAN BSS interface' iftype. Each of them will corresponding to a WLAN service on a PHY radio. 6. Brief Description of MIB Objects Sections 6.1 - 6.2 describe objects pertaining to CAPWAP. The MIB objects were derived from the CAPWAP protocol 802.11 binding document [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211]. 6.1. capwapDot11WLANConfigTable The WTPs table is used for providing configuration such as MAC type and so on for WLANs. The MIB object capwapDot11WLANTemplateIfIndex as a ifIndex, which as a iftype of 'WLAN Template interface' provides a way to reuse current 802.11 MIB. For example, according to CAPWAP Binding for IEEE 802.11 Auth Type for a WLAN. In 802.11 MIB, it has MIB object dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm in the dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable which use ifIndex as index. As CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB use capwapDot11WLANTemplateIfIndex, it could easily reuse dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm object. It is same for other 802.11 MIBs reuse. 6.2. capwapDot11WLANBSSTable The table provides a way to create or delete the interface of CAPWAP add WLAN or delete WLAN message. Each interface corresponding to a WLAN service on a PHY radio. The first index is the ifIndex from [RFC2863]. 7.

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: - Unauthorized changes to the capwapDot11WLANConfigTable and capwapDot11WLANBSSTable may disrupt allocation of resources in the network. 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 Shi, Perkins Expires January 31, 2008 [Page 11] Internet-Draft CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB for IEEE 802.11 31 July 2007 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 9.1. IANA Considerations for CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry: Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value ---------- ----------------------- capwapDot11MIB { mib-2 XXX } Editor's Note (to be removed prior to publication): the IANA is requested to assign a value for "XXX" under the 'mib-2' subtree and to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "XXX" (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove this note. 9.2. IANA Considerations for iftype Require IANA to assign a iftype for 'WLAN Template interface' type. Require IANA to assign a iftype for 'WLAN BSS interface' type. 10.
