This internet draft expires on December 4, 1999. Abstract This specification defines an extension to the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management. In particular, it defines objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling routers that employ the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) [17]. This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant with both the SNMPv2 SMI [19], and semantically identical to the SNMPv1 definitions [2]. draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 Table of Contents 1 The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework ............... 3 2 Overview .............................................. 4 2.1 VRRP MIB Structure .................................. 4 2.2 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol .................. 4 2.3 VRRP MIB Table Design ............................... 5 2.3.1 Relation to Interface Group ....................... 5 2.4 VRRP Scenarios ...................................... 5 2.4.1 Scenario #1 ....................................... 6 2.4.2 Scenario #2 ....................................... 8 3 Definitions ........................................... 11 4 Security Considerations ............................... 31 5 Acknowledgements ...................................... 32 6 References ............................................ 32 7 Authors' Addresses .................................... 34 draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 1. The SNMP 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 RFC 1155 [2], RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in 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 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 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 [16]. 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. draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 2. Overview This memo identifies the set of objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), as defined in RFC 2338 [17]. VRRP specifies an election protocol that will allow one or more associated IP addresses to be assumed by another router in the event of a failure of the IP address(es) owner. Thus, IP traffic from a host using a failed router as a default gateway is transparently fowarded by the VRRP router that has assumed control. VRRP provides redundancy in routed networks without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host. 2.1. VRRP MIB Structure The VRRP MIB contains three conformance groups: - vrrpOperations Group: Objects related to VRRP router's configuration and control. - vrrpStatistics Group: Objects containing information useful in monitoring the operation of VRRP routers. - vrrpNotifications Group: Consists of objects and definitions for use in SNMP traps sent by VRRP routers. Tables in the MIB include the following: (1) The vrrpOperTable, which contains objects that define the operational characteristics of a VRRP router. Rows in this table correspond to instances of virtual routers. (2) The vrrpAssoIpAddrTable, which contains the addresses of the virtual router(s) that a given VRRP router is backing up. (3) The vrrpRouterStatsTable which contains the operating statistics for a VRRP router. 2.2. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol This MIB is based on the following characteristics of VRRP as defined in the VRRP specification [17]. - A "VRRP router" is one that is configured to run the VRRP protocol in conjunction with one or more other VRRP routers attached to a LAN. draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 - A VRRP router can be running one or more instances of a virtual router. - A "virtual router" is an abstraction which consists of two or more physical routers associated by a Virtual Router Identifier (VRID). - An instance of a virtual router (on a physical VRRP router), can be uniquely identified by a combination of the 'IF Index' [18] and "Virtual Router Identifier" (VRID). - For each VRID there is a set of one or more "associated IP addresses" that are backed-up by the virtual router. 2.3. VRRP MIB Table Design The tables in the VRRP MIB are structured with the assumption that a VRRP network management application would likely be designed to display information or provide configuration about a VRRP router on a "per-virtual-router basis". Thus, the tables defined in the MIB consist of conceptual rows which are grouped in a manner to present a view of individual virtual routers with a minimal number of SNMP operations. 2.3.1. Relation to Interface Group (RFC 2233) [23]. Since a router can be participating in VRRP on one or more physical interfaces, "ifIndex" is used as an index into the tables defined in the VRRP MIB. 2.4. VRRP Scenarios The following section provides examples of how some of the objects in this MIB are instantiated for two different VRRP scenarios. KEY: ---- The labels in the following tables and diagrams correspond to the actual MIB objects as follows: if = vrrpOperIfIndex VrId = vrrpOperVrId State = vrrpOperState Prior = vrrpOperPriority AddrCnt = vrrpOperIpAddrCount draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 IpAddr = vrrpOperMasterIpAddr RowStat = vrrpOperRowStatus 2.4.1. VRRP Scenario #1 The following figure shows a simple network with two VRRP routers configured with two virtual routers. This sample topology is taken from the VRRP specification [17]. Addresses in '()' indicate the IP address of the default gateway for a given host, H1 - H4. In the diagram, "Interface" is used in the context defined in MIB-II [4].

In the text that follows, the characteristics (i.e., whether readable, settable or both) of each value are indicated in parenthesis. The state that this object transitions to when it is set is based on a determination of whether the read-create objects in the row have been correctly initialized for virtual router operation. A row in which not all of the objects are correctly set is considered `incomplete'. The rowstatus of a currently active row in the vrrpOperTable is also constrained by the operational state of the corresponding virtual router. Prior to setting this object from `active' to a different value, the `vrrpOperAdminState' object must be set to `down', and the `vrrpOperState' object be transitioned to `initialize'. The rowstatus column has six defined values: - `active' (read/set). When this value is read, it indicates that all the read-create objects (in the row) required for virtual router operation have been correctly initialized such that the respective virtual router can be made operational by setting the `vrrpOperAdminState' to `up'. When set to `active', no other objects in the conceptual row, with the exception of `vrrpOperAdminState', can be modified. When set, the agent will transition the value of rowstatus to `notReady' if the row is incomplete. - `notInService' (read/set), which when set, allows the objects in the row to be modified by a management station, thus changing the operational characteristics of the corresponding virtual router. - `notReady' (read). The agent sets the object to this state to indicate that the conceptual row exists, but is lacking initialization of one or more objects required for virtual router operation. - `createAndGo' (set), which is set by a management draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 20] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 station wishing to create a new instance of a virtual router and to have its status automatically set to `active', making it available for use by a virtual router. Upon receiving a request to set the rowstatus to this value, the agent transitions the rowstatus to `active' if the other settable objects in the row have been correctly initialized. If the row is incomplete, the agent transitions the state to `notReady'. - `createAndWait' (set), which is set by a management station wishing to create a new instance of a virtual router but not make it available for use. When this value is set, rowstatus transitions to `notInService' if the row has been correctly initialized; if the row is incomplete, rowstatus will become `notReady'. - `destroy' (set), which deletes the conceptual row, and hence, the corresponding instance of a virtual router." ::= { vrrpOperEntry 15 } -- ******************************************************************* -- VRRP Associated IP Address Table -- ******************************************************************* vrrpAssoIpAddrTable OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF VrrpAssoIpAddrEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The table of addresses associated with this virtual router." ::= { vrrpOperations 4 } draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 21] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 vrrpAssoIpAddrEntry OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX VrrpAssoIpAddrEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "An entry in the table contains an IP address that is associated with a virtual router.

Security Considerations There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write or read-create. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable to security attacks in some networking environments. The support for SET operations in a non- secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on VRRP router operations. A number of objects in the vrrpOperTable possess the read-create attribute. Manipulation of these objects is capable of affecting the operation of a virtual router. Specific examples of this include, but are not limited to: o The vrrpOperAdminState object which could be used to disable a virtual router. o The vrrpOperPrimaryIpAddr object which, if compromised, could allow assignment of an invalid IP address to a master router. o The authentication type/key related objects which could potentially render the VRRP security mechanisms ineffective. Of additional concern is the ability to disable the transmission of traps. This would nullify the capability of a virtual router to provide notification in the event of an authentication failure. SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. 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. 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 RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View- based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended. It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, 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. draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 31] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 5.

It will be deleted when the document is published as an RFC. * June 1999: Changes in 8th revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt): - Changed inport of "ifIndex" from RFC 1213 to IF-MIB. - Added new IANA assigned MIB OID (68). * June 1999: Changes in 7th revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-07.txt): - Added MIB Boilerplate for "The SNMP Management Framework" section. - Added "Security Considerations" section - Removed references to "SNMPv2" in header and footers. * May, 1999: Changes in 6th revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-06.txt): - Removed description of how "vrrpOperVirtualMacAddr" is specifed as per changes to the VRRP Spec (addition of Token Ring). - Added citiations for RFC 1903 and RFC 1904 in references. - Modifed reference to RFC 1573, which has been obsoleted by RFC 2233. * March, 1999: Changes in 5th revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-05.txt): - Objects under "vrrpRouterStatsEntry" were renumbered. OID's became out-of-sequence due to changes made in the last revision (04). - Format of section numbers was changed ('.' added) to be consistant with other RFC's. - Changed the type of "vrrpNodeVersion" from INTEGER to Integer32. Also made DEFVAL (for this object) a decimal number. - A few spelling and typographical corrections were made. - Revisions were made to the format of some of the references to make then more concise and consistant. - Reworded the Overview section to attempt to make the description of VRRP more in-line with the VRRP RFC. * January, 1999: Changes in 4th revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-04.txt): - "vrrpNodeVersion" SYNTAX changed from OCTET STRING to INTEGER. - Removed the REFERENCE clause from "vrrpOperVirtualMacAddr", as it draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 35] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 was deemed redundant. - The range of vrrpOperAddrCount was changed from (1..255) to (0..255). This reflects the fact that a row might be created in the vrrpOperTable *prior* to creating a row in the vrrpAssoIpAddrTable. - Removed DEFVAL clause from "vrrpOperAuthKey" as unnecessary. - Moved the following objects out of the "vrrpRouterStatsTable" to become "global" VRRP router objects: "vrrpStatsChecksunErrors", "vrrpStatsVersionErrors", "vrrpStatsVrIdErrors". Each of these was renamed "vrrpRouter*", accordingly (since they are no longer members of the vrrpRouterStatsTable. The reason for this change is that, when any of these events occur, attempting to map the packet, with possible corruption of the VRID (or other fields), into a row of the vrrpRouterStatsTable would be risky, at best. - Removed "vrrpOperVirtualMacAddr" from the "vrrpTrapNewMaster". Since the virtual MAC can be derived from the VR ID, this was extra payload in the trap. - removed "vrrpTrapConfigErrorType" and "vrrpTrapPacketSrc" from conformance groups, as these are not mandatory objects. - Added new object, "vrrpOperPrimaryIpAddr" to vrrpOperTable. This object allows for designation of the vrrp IP primary address on an interface with multiple IP addresses, should this virtual router transition from backup to master. - Changed vrrpRouterStatsEntry to AUGMENT the vrrpOperEntry, since there is a one-to-one correspondence between these two objects and they are indexed with identical parmeters. - Addded new object, vrrpStatsPacketLengthErrors, to the statistics table. - Changed the description for "vrrpStatsSecurityViolations" to apply to *all* types of authentication failures, as opposed to cleartext auth failures only, which it previously stated. - Renamed "vrrpTrapConfigErrorType" object to "vrrpTrapAuthErrorType" and added a new enumeration for "authentication failures". - Renamed "vrrpStatsAuthTypeErrors" to "vrrpStatsAuthTypeMismatch". - Renamed "vrrpStatsSecurityViolations" to " vrrpStats- AuthenticationFailures" * November, 1998: Changes in 3rd revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-03.txt): - Changed name of "vrrpAssoIpAddrStatus" object to "vrrpAssoIpAddrRowStatus" for consistancy with similar object in vrrpOperTable. - Changed name of "vrrpOperControl" object to "vrrpOperAdminState" and enhanced description clause. - Renumbered the objects in both the vrrpOperTable and vrrpAssoIpAddrTable. The first objects in the tables started with an OID of '2', when they should have started with '1'. draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 36] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 - Changed the name of "vrrpStatsUnknownAuthType" to "vrrpStatsInvalidAuthType" as per suggestion that it was more concise. - Rewrote the descriptions for the table Entry objects and the rowstatus objects to make the process of row creation and deletion more clear. Each enumeration of the rowstatus object in the "vrrpOperTable" is now clearly explained. - Changed MAX-ACCESS to "read-create" on the "vrrpOperAuthType" and "vrrpOperAuthKey" objects. This was done with the assumption the the VRRP RFC will change to make these attributes defined on a "per-virtual-router-basis" as was proposed at the August (1998) IETF Meeting. * July, 1998: Changes in 2nd revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-02.txt): - A number of changes were made to the textual content of the draft as per feedback received at the last WG meeting. These changes were too numerous to document individually in this section. - The size of the "vrrpNodeVersion" object has been changed from 2 octets to 1 octet. - References to obsoleted RFC's have been replaced by references to later documents. Notably, references to RFC's 1442, 1443 and 1444 have been replaced by RFC 1902, RFC 1903 and RFC 1904, respectively. - The description for the "vrrpOperControl" was changed to reflect the fact that a virtual router does not necessarily transition directly from initialize state -> backup state. The description for the "vrrpStatsBecomeMaster" was also changed to more accurately convey this fact. - The SYNTAX of the "vrrpOperIpAddrCount" was changed to reflect the fact that a virtual router can support only up to 255 backup IP addresses. - Descriptions for vrrpOperAuthType and vrrpOperAuthKey expanded to indicate the per-interface assignment. - SYNTAX of vrrpOperPreemptMode object changed from INTEGER to 'truthValue' - The OIDs for the VRRP traps were fixed; incorrect ident- ifiers ('vrrpOperations') had been used in OID assignments. - The SYNTAX for the 'vrrpOperPriority' object was corrected to indicate that this can have a value of '0'. - The vrrpOperHMACMD5Key object was deleted. It was combined with the vrrpOperAuthKey object, whose SYNTAX was adjusted accordingly. - OID for 'vrrpTraps' changed to '{ vrrpNotifications 1 }' - The 'vrrpStatsPasswdSecurityViolations' and 'vrrpStatsHmac- SecurityViolations' objects have been combined into a draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 37] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 single 'vrrpStatsSecurityViolations' object; this was suggested to avoid redundancy. - As per the last WG meeting, the 'vrrpAssoIpAddrIndex' object has been deleted from the 'vrrpAssoIpAddrTable'and replaced by 'vrrpAssoIpAddr'. - Removed references to 'vrrpAssoIpAddrIndex' in samples. - Added new object 'vrrpOperProtocol' to 'VrrpOperEntry'. - MAX-ACCESS for the 'vrrpOperVrId' object changed to 'not-accessible', as per RFC1902 (auxilary objects). - SYNTAX for 'vrrpOperVirtualRouterUpTime' changed to 'TimeStamp'. - Added importation of 'TruthValue'and 'TimeStamp' to accomodate changes listed above. Deleted importation of 'TimeTicks'. - Changed MAX-ACCESS to 'accessible-for-notify' for 'vrrpTrapPacketSrc' and 'vrrpTrapConfigErrorType' objects. - In the sample tables, the "if" values were incorrect for the sample tables for "IP B" (they used to read "I1"). - MAX-ACCESS for 'vrrpOperAuthType' and 'vrrpOperAuthKey' changed to 'read-only', since these objects are defined on a per-interface basis. - Overall review and editing of Section 5.0 (References) with deletion of references not used in this document. Also, added reference '9'. Concerns: --------- - Keep the 'vrrpTrapAuthFailure' trap? - Remove 'vrrpTrapPacketSrc' and 'vrrpTrapConfigErrorType' from compliances? Only used for 'vrrpTrapAuthFailure' trap. * 3/4/1998: Changes in 1st revision (draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-01.txt): - Overall review and editing of document text and object descriptions from feedback received at December 1997 IETF meeting. More specifically the changes made along these lines include the following: -- Cleaned up Section 5.0 ("References") and validated. -- Modifed diagram for VRRP Scenario #2 (Section 2.4.2). -- VRRP Overview (Section 2.0) rewritten to be more in-line with latest revision (05) of VRRP RFC Draft. -- Description of "VrId" Textual convention rewritten. - MAX-ACCESS of vrrpTrapCntl object changed to "read-write". - Changed SYNTAX of "vrrpOperVirtualMacAddr" object from "PhyAddress" to "MacAddress". - Changed the syntax of the "vrrpOperPriority" object so upper draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 38] INTERNET-DRAFT VRRP MIB Management Objects June 24, 1999 value can be 255. - Change MAX-ACCESS for "vrrpOperAuthType" object from read-only to read-create. - Added three new objects to "vrrpRouterStatsTable": "vrrpStatsAddressListErrors", "vrrpStatsUnknownAuthType" and "vrrpStatsAuthTypeErrors". - Removed "vrrpStatsUnknownPacketType" object, as it was redundant (with "vrrpStatsInvalidPacketType"). - Removed the "vrrpOperIfIndex" object to use "ifIndex" (which is actually equivalent) instead. * 11/19/97 (vft-ietf-vrrp-mib-00.txt) - Initial Draft draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-08.txt [Page 39]
