1. Requirements notation
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 [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
[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,
[RFC2578], STD 58, [RFC2579] and STD 58, [RFC2580].
3. Introduction
This memo defines an portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects to configure and/or
monitor Bi-Directional Forwarding Detection for [BFD], [BFD-1HOP] and
[BFD-MH], BFD versions 0 and/or 1, on devices supporting this
feature.
Comments should be made directly to the BFD mailing list at
rtg-bfd@ietf.org.
4. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, acronyms and mechanisms
described in [BFD], [BFD-1HOP] and [BFD-MH]. Unless otherwise
stated, the mechanisms described therein will not be re-described
here.
5. Brief Description of MIB Objects
This section describes objects pertaining to BFD. The MIB objects
are derived from [BFD] and [BFD-MH].

Internet-Draft BFD Management Information Base March 2010
5.1. General Variables
The General Variables are used to identify parameters that are global
to the BFD process.
5.2. Session Table (bfdSessionTable)
The session table is used to identify a BFD session between a pair of
nodes.
5.3. Session Performance Table (bfdSessionPerfTable)
The session performance table is used for collecting BFD performance
counts on a per session basis. This table is an AUGMENT to the
bfdSessionTable.
5.4. BFD Session Discriminator Mapping Table (bfdSessDiscMapTable)
The BFD Session Discriminator Mapping Table maps a local
discriminator value to associated BFD sessions' BfdSessIndexTC used
in the bfdSessionTable.
5.5. BFD Session IP Mapping Table (bfdSessIpMapTable)
The BFD Session IP Mapping Table maps, given bfdSessInterface,
bfdSessAddrType, and bfdSessAddr, to an associated BFD sessions'
BfdSessIndexTC used in the bfdSessionTable. This table SHOULD
contains those BFD sessions are of IP type.
6. BFD MIB Module Definitions
This MIB module makes references to the following documents.
[RFC2579], [RFC2580], [RFC2863], [RFC4001], and [RFC3413].

7. Security Considerations
As BFD may be tied into the stability of the network infrastructure
(such as routing protocols), the effects of an attack on a BFD
session may be very serious. This ultimately has denial-of-service
effects, as links may be declared to be down (or falsely declared to
be up.) As such, improper manipulation of the objects represented by
this MIB may result in denial of service to a large number of end-
users.
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:
o bfdSessAdminStatus - Improper change of bfdSessAdminStatus, from
start to stop, can cause significant disruption of the
connectivity to those portions of the Internet reached via the
applicable remote BFD peer.
o bfdSessDesiredMinTxInterval, bfdSessReqMinRxInterval,
bfdSessReqMinEchoRxInterval, bfdSessDetectMult - Improper change
of this object can cause connections to be disrupted for extremely
long time periods when otherwise they would be restored in a
Nadeau, et al. Expires September 9, 2010 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft BFD Management Information Base March 2010
relatively short period of time.
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. 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.
o The bfdSessTable may be used to directly configure BFD sessions.
The bfdSessMapTable can be used indirectly in the same way.
Unauthorized access to objects in this table could result in
disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if
an unauthorized user configures enough tables to invoke a denial
of service attack on the device where they are configured, or on a
remote device where the sessions terminate.
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:
o The bfdSessPerfTable both allows access to the performance
characteristics of BFD sessions. Network administrators not
wishing to show this information should consider this table
sensitive.
The bfdSessAuthenticationType, bfdSessAuthenticationKeyID, and
bfdSessAuthenticationKey objects hold security methods and associated
security keys of BFD sessions. These objects SHOULD be considered
highly sensitive objects. In order for these sensitive information
from being improperly accessed, implementors MAY wish to disallow
read and create access to these objects.
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 these MIB modules.
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".
Nadeau, et al. Expires September 9, 2010 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft BFD Management Information Base March 2010
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.
8. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
bfdMib { 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.]
This document also requests IANA to manage the registry for the
BfdDiag object.
