1.  Introduction

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it defines objects for managing the Border Gateway Protocol, Version 4 [RFC4271] (Rekhter, Y., Li, T., and S. Hares, “A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4),” January 2006.).

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] (Case, J., Mundy, R., Partain, D., and B. Stewart, “Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet-Standard Management Framework,” December 2002.).

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] (McCloghrie, K., Ed., Perkins, D., Ed., and J. Schoenwaelder, Ed., “Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2),” April 1999.), STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] (McCloghrie, K., Ed., Perkins, D., Ed., and J. Schoenwaelder, Ed., “Textual Conventions for SMIv2,” April 1999.) and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580] (McCloghrie, K., Perkins, D., and J. Schoenwaelder, “Conformance Statements for SMIv2,” April 1999.).

4.  Overview

As part of the IETF standardization effort for the BGP-4 protocol, [RFC4273] (Haas, J. and S. Hares, “Definitions of Managed Objects for BGP-4,” January 2006.) was written to address open issues in the previous version of the BGP-4 MIB, [RFC1657] (Willis, S., Burruss, J., and J. Chu, “Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth Version of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) using SMIv2,” July 1994.). However, that RFC was primarily intended to address the base BGP-4 protocol as documented in [RFC4271] (Rekhter, Y., Li, T., and S. Hares, “A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4),” January 2006.).

The BGP-4 protocol has greatly increased in scope over the years from its original definition. Scaling mechanisms such as Route Reflection (Bates, T., Chen, E., and R. Chandra, “BGP Route Reflection: An Alternative to Full Mesh Internal BGP (IBGP),” April 2006.) [RFC4456] and Confederations (Traina, P., McPherson, D., and J. Scudder, “Autonomous System Confederations for BGP,” August 2007.) [RFC5065] have been introduced. Multi-protocol extensions (Bates, T., Chandra, R., Katz, D., and Y. Rekhter, “Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4,” January 2007.) [RFC4760] were introduced which allowed advertisement of reachability such as IPv6 (Marques, P. and F. Dupont, “Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 Inter-Domain Routing,” March 1999.) [RFC2545], MPLS Labeled routes (Rekhter, Y. and E. Rosen, “Carrying Label Information in BGP-4,” May 2001.) [RFC3107], etc.

This MIB addresses several of the deficiencies of the previous BGP-4 MIB. In particular:

6.1.  Relationship to the TCP-MIB

The bgp4V2PeerLocalAddrType/bgp4V2PeerLocalAddr/bgp4V2PeerLocalPort and bgp4V2PeerRemoteAddrType/bgp4V2PeerRemoteAddr/bgp4V2PeerRemotePort objects may provide a suitable index for monitoring the BGP peering session's TCP session via the TCP-MIB (Raghunarayan, R., “Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP),” March 2005.) [RFC4022].

Note that conducting BGP peering sessions over transport protocols other than TCP over IP are out of scope of the current BGP specifications.

6.2.  MIB modules required for IMPORTS

The following MIB module IMPORTS objects from BGP4V2-TC-MIB [I-D.draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-tc], SNMPv2-SMI [RFC2578] (McCloghrie, K., Ed., Perkins, D., Ed., and J. Schoenwaelder, Ed., “Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2),” April 1999.), SNMPv2-TC [RFC2579] (McCloghrie, K., Ed., Perkins, D., Ed., and J. Schoenwaelder, Ed., “Textual Conventions for SMIv2,” April 1999.), SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580] (McCloghrie, K., Perkins, D., and J. Schoenwaelder, “Conformance Statements for SMIv2,” April 1999.), INET-ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001] (Daniele, M., Haberman, B., Routhier, S., and J. Schoenwaelder, “Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses,” February 2005.) and SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB [RFC3411] (Harrington, D., Presuhn, R., and B. Wijnen, “An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Frameworks,” December 2002.).

        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
            "In order to provide a canonicalized form of the BGP-4
             AS_PATH along with the human-readable
             bgp4V2NlriAsPathString, which may be truncated, this object
             contains the contents of the BGP-4 AS_PATH Path Attribute.
             This object may be parsed using the rules defined for
             Four-octet ASes as defined in RFC 4893.  RFC 4271, Section
             4.3, 'Path Attributes: b) AS_PATH' as amended by RFC 5065,
             Section 3 defines the general format of the AS_PATH path
             attribute and its code points.

             In brief, the AS_PATH is composed of a sequence of AS
             Segments.  Each AS Segment is represented by a triple:
             <path segment type, path segment length,
             path segment value>.

             The path segment type and path segment length fields are
             one octet in length each.

             The path segment type field may be one of:
               1 - AS_SET (RFC 4721, Section 4.3)
               2 - AS_SEQUENCE (RFC 4721, Section 4.3)
               3 - AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE (RFC 3065, Section 5)
               4 - AS_CONFED_SET (RFC 3065, Section 5)

             The path segment length field contains the number of ASes
             (not the number of octets) in the path segment value field.

             The path segment value field contains one or more AS
             numbers, each encoded as a 4-octet length field in network
             byte order.

             Note that since an SNMP agent may truncate this object to
             less than its maximum theoretical length of 4072 octets
             users of this object should be prepared to deal with a
             truncated and thus malformed AS_PATH.  It is RECOMMENDED
             that when such truncation would occur on the boundary of an
             encoded AS that the partial AS be discarded from this
             object and the object's size be adjusted accordingly.
             Further, it is also RECOMMENDED that when such truncation,
             either alone or in conjuction with the truncation of a
             partially encoded AS described previously, would yield an
             empty path segment value field that the path segment type
             and path segment length components of the truncated AS_PATH
             also be discarded and the object's size be adjusted
             accordingly."

8.  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:

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] (Case, J., Mundy, R., Partain, D., and B. Stewart, “Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet-Standard Management Framework,” December 2002.), 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 indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.

This document owes significant thanks over the years to Wayne Tackabury, Susan Hares and the members of the IDR and OPS-NM mailing lists. This document represents several years of negotiating operational needs, Internet operational security considerations and the sheer messiness of representing the BGP protocol in SMIv2.

I owe particular thanks to Susan Hares as a mentor who let me dive head-first into the world of Internet standards work by saying, "We have this MIB that just needs a little cleanup to advance in the standards process."
