Abstract

   This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
   (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the
   Internet community.  In particular, it describes objects used for
   managing the Line Code Specific parameters of Very High Speed
   Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) interfaces using Single Carrier
   Modulation (SCM) Line Coding.  It is an optional extension to the
   VDSL-LINE-MIB, RFC 3728, which handles line code independent
   objects.

1.  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
   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].

2.  Overview

   This document describes an SNMP MIB module for managing the Line
   Code Dependent, Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) Layer of SCM VDSL
   Lines.  These definitions are based upon the specifications for VDSL
   as defined in T1E1, European Telecommunications Standards Institute
   (ETSI), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) documentation
   [T1E1311, T1E1011, T1E1013, ETSI2701, ETSI2702, ITU9931, ITU9971].
   Additionally the protocol-dependent (and line-code dependent)
   management framework for VDSL lines specified by the Digital
   Subscriber Line Forum (DSLF) has been taken into consideration
   [DSLFTR57] and [DSLFWT96].

   The MIB module is located in the MIB tree under MIB-2 transmission.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "RECOMMENDED", and "SHOULD" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2.1  Relationship of this MIB Module to other MIB Modules

   The relationship of the VDSL Line MIB module to other MIB modules
   and in particular to the IF-MIB, as presented in RFC 2863 [RFC2863],
   is discussed in the VDSL-LINE-MIB, RFC 3728 [RFC3728].  This section
   outlines the relationship of this VDSL Line Extension MIB to the
   VDSL-LINE-MIB, RFC 3728 [RFC3728].

2.2  Conventions used in the MIB Module

2.2.1  Naming Conventions

   A.  Vtuc -- (VTUC) transceiver at near (Central) end of line
   B.  Vtur -- (VTUR) transceiver at Remote end of line
   C.  Vtu  -- One of either Vtuc or Vtur
   D.  Curr -- Current
   F.  Atn  -- Attenuation
   J.  LCS  -- Line Code Specific
   K.  Max  -- Maximum
   Q.  Mgn  -- Margin
   S.  PSD  -- Power Spectral Density
   T.  Rx   -- Receive
   T.  Snr  -- Signal to Noise Ratio
   U.  Tx   -- Transmit

2.3  Structure

   The SCM VDSL Line Extension MIB contains the following MIB group:

   o   vdslSCMGroup :

   This group supports MIB objects for defining configuration profiles
   and for monitoring individual bands of Single Carrier Modulation
   (SCM) VDSL modems.  It contains the following tables:


 - vdslLineSCMConfProfileTxBandTable
       - vdslSCMPhysBandTable

   If the SCM VDSL Line Extension MIB is implemented then all of the
   objects in this group MUST be implemented.

   Figure 1, below, displays the relationship of the tables in the
   vdslSCMGroup to the vdslGroup and to the ifEntry:

     ifEntry(ifType=97)  ----> vdslLineTableEntry 1:(0..1)

      vdslLineTableEntry (vdslLineCoding=SCM)
            ----> vdslPhysTableEntry 1:(0..2)
                ----> vdslSCMPhysBandTable 1:(0..5)

INTERNET-DRAFT            VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB             January 2005

      vdslLineConfProfileEntry(vdslLineConfProfileName)
                    ----> vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable 1:(0..5)

                   Figure 1: Table Relationships

     When the object vdslLineCoding is set to SCM,
     vdslLineConfProfileName is used as the index to
     vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable.  The existence of an entry in
     any of the tables of the vdslSCMGroup is optional.

2.4  Persistence

   All read-create objects defined in this MIB module SHOULD be stored
   persistently.  Following is an exhaustive list of these persistent
   objects:

    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandId
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandUsage
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandCenterFrequency
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandSymbolRate
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandConstellationSize
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTransmitPSDLevel
    vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandRowStatus
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandId
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandUsage
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrPSDLevel
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSymbolRate
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrConstellationSize
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrCenterFrequency
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandId
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandUsage
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandSnrMgn
    vdslLineSCMPhysBandPerformanceBandAtn

   Note also that the interface indices in this MIB are maintained
   persistently.  View-based Access Control Model (VACM) data
   relating to these SHOULD be stored persistently as well [RFC3415].

3.  Conformance and Compliance

   An SCM based VDSL agent does not have to implement this MIB to be
   compliant with RFC 3728 [RFC3728].  If the SCM VDSL Line Extension
   MIB is implemented then the following group is mandatory:

    -  vdslSCMGroup

INTERNET-DRAFT            VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB             January 2005

    DESCRIPTION
        "The VDSL-LINE-MIB found in RFC 3728 defines objects for
        the management of a pair of VDSL transceivers at each end of
        the VDSL line.  The VDSL-LINE-MIB configures and monitors the
        line code independent parameters (TC layer) of the VDSL line.
        This MIB module is an optional extension of the VDSL-LINE-MIB
        and defines objects for configuration and monitoring of the
        line code specific (LCS) elements (PMD layer) for VDSL lines
        using SCM coding.  The objects in this extension MIB MUST NOT
        be used for VDSL lines using Multiple Carrier Modulation (MCM)
        line coding.  If an object in this extension MIB is referenced
        by a line which does not use SCM, it has no effect on the
        operation of that line.

        Naming Conventions:
            Vtuc -- (VTUC) transceiver at near (Central) end of line
            Vtur -- (VTUR) transceiver at Remote end of line

6.  Security Considerations

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
   with a MAX-ACCESS clause of 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:

   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTable
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandInUse,
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandTransmitPSDLevel,
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandSymbolRate,
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandConstellationSize,
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandCenterFrequency,
   vdslLineSCMConfProfileBandRowStatus

   VDSL layer connectivity from the Vtur will permit the subscriber to
   manipulate both the VDSL link directly and the VDSL embedded
   operations channel (EOC) for their own loop.  For example, unchecked
   or unfiltered fluctuations initiated by the subscriber could generate
   sufficient notifications to potentially overwhelm either the
   management interface to the network or the element manager.

   Additionally, allowing write access to configuration data may allow
   an end-user to increase their service levels or affect other
   end-users in either a positive or negative manner.  For this reason,
   the tables and objects listed above should be considered to contain
   sensitive information.

   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:

   vdslLineSCMPhysBandInUse,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrPSDLevel,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSymbolRate,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrConstellationSize,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrCenterFrequency,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrSnrMgn,
   vdslLineSCMPhysBandCurrAtn

   Read access of the physical band parameters may provide knowledge
   to an end-user that would allow malicious behavior, for example
   the application of an intentional interference on one or all of
   the physical bands in use.

INTERNET-DRAFT            VDSL-LINE-EXT-SCM-MIB             January 2005

   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
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of a 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.
