Request for Comments: 3019 Nortel Networks

IBM
January 2001
<span class="h1">IP Version 6 Management Information Base for</span>
<span class="h1">The Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol</span>
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in Internet Protocol
Version 6 internets. Specifically, this document is the MIB module
that defines managed objects for implementations of the Multicast
Listener Discovery Protocol [<a href="./rfc2710" title=""Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) for IPv6"">RFC2710</a>].
Terminology
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 [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. The SNMP Management Framework</span>
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
An overall architecture, described in <a href="./rfc2571">RFC 2571</a> [<a href="./rfc2571" title=""An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks"">RFC2571</a>].
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,
<span class="grey">Haberman & Worzella Standards Track [Page 1]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-2" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc3019">RFC 3019</a> MIB for MLD January 2001</span>
<a href="./rfc1155">RFC 1155</a> [<a href="./rfc1155" title=""Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP-based Internets"">RFC1155</a>], STD 16, <a href="./rfc1212">RFC 1212</a> [<a href="./rfc1212" title=""Concise MIB Definitions"">RFC1212</a>] and <a href="./rfc1215">RFC 1215</a>
[<a href="./rfc1215" title=""A Convention for Defining Traps for use with the SNMP"">RFC1215</a>]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58,
<a href="./rfc2578">RFC 2578</a> [<a href="./rfc2578" title=""Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)"">RFC2578</a>], STD 58, <a href="./rfc2579">RFC 2579</a> [<a href="./rfc2579" title=""Textual Conventions for SMIv2"">RFC2579</a>] and STD 58, <a href="./rfc2580">RFC 2580</a>
[<a href="./rfc2580" title=""Conformance Statements for SMIv2"">RFC2580</a>].
Message protocols for transferring management information. The first
version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described
in STD 15, <a href="./rfc1157">RFC 1157</a> [<a href="./rfc1157" title=""Simple Network Management Protocol"">RFC1157</a>]. A second version of the SNMP message
protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is
called SNMPv2c and described in <a href="./rfc1901">RFC 1901</a> [<a href="./rfc1901" title=""Introduction to Community-based SNMPv2"">RFC1901</a>] and <a href="./rfc1906">RFC 1906</a>
[<a href="./rfc1906" title=""Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">RFC1906</a>]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in <a href="./rfc1906">RFC 1906</a> [<a href="./rfc1906" title=""Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">RFC1906</a>], <a href="./rfc2572">RFC 2572</a> [<a href="./rfc2572" title=""Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">RFC2572</a>] and
<a href="./rfc2574">RFC 2574</a> [<a href="./rfc2574" title=""User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)"">RFC2574</a>].
Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first
set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in
STD 15, <a href="./rfc1157">RFC 1157</a> [<a href="./rfc1157" title=""Simple Network Management Protocol"">RFC1157</a>]. A second set of protocol operations and
associated PDU formats is described in <a href="./rfc1905">RFC 1905</a> [<a href="./rfc1905" title=""Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">RFC1905</a>].
A set of fundamental applications described in <a href="./rfc2573">RFC 2573</a> [<a href="./rfc2573" title=""SNMPv3 Applications"">RFC2573</a>] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in <a href="./rfc2575">RFC 2575</a>
[<a href="./rfc2575" title=""View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">RFC2575</a>].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in <a href="./rfc2570">RFC 2570</a> [<a href="./rfc2570" title=""Introduction to Version 3 of the Internet-standard Network Management Framework"">RFC2570</a>].
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 (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.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. Overview</span>
This MIB module contains two tables:
1. The MLD Interface Table, which contains one row for each
interface on which MLD is enabled.
<span class="grey">Haberman & Worzella Standards Track [Page 2]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-3" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc3019">RFC 3019</a> MIB for MLD January 2001</span>
2. The MLD Cache Table which contains one row for each IPv6
Multicast group for which there are members on a particular
interface.
Both tables are intended to be implemented by hosts and routers. Some
objects in each table apply to routers only.

Security Considerations
This MIB contains readable objects whose values provide information
related to multicast sessions. Some of these objects could contain
sensitive information. In particular, the mldCacheSelf and
mldCacheLastReporter could be used to identify machines which are
listening to a given group address. There are also a number of
objects that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-
create, which allow an administrator to configure MLD in the router.
While unauthorized access to the readable objects is relatively
innocuous, unauthorized access to the write-able objects could cause
a denial of service. Hence, the support of SET operations in a non-
secure environment without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations.
SNMPv1 by itself is such an insecure environment. Even if the
network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then,
there is no control as to who on the network is allowed to access and
SET (change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model <a href="./rfc2574">RFC 2574</a> [<a href="./rfc2574" title=""User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)"">RFC2574</a>] and the View-
based Access Control Model <a href="./rfc2575">RFC 2575</a> [<a href="./rfc2575" title=""View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">RFC2575</a>] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to this MIB, is properly configured to give
access to those objects only to those principals (users) that have
legitimate rights to access them.
