1.  Abstract

This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for use with
network management protocols in the Internet community.  In particular,
it describes managed objects used for managing tunnels of any type over
IPv4 networks.  Extension MIBs may be designed for managing protocol-

specific objects. Likewise, extension MIBs may be designed for managing
security-specific objects.  This MIB does not support tunnels over non-
IPv4 networks (including IPv6 networks).  Management of such tunnels may
be supported by other MIBs.

2.  Introduction

Over the past several years, there have been a number of "tunneling"
protocols specified by the IETF (see [28] for an early discussion of the
model and examples).  This document describes a Management Information
Base (MIB) used for managing tunnels of any type over IPv4 networks,
including GRE [16,17], IP-in-IP [18], Minimal Encapsulation [19], L2TP
[20], PPTP [21], L2F [25], UDP (e.g., [26]), AMTP [22], and IPv6-in-IPv4
[27] tunnels.

Extension MIBs may be designed for managing protocol-specific objects.
Likewise, extension MIBs may be designed for managing security-specific
objects (e.g., IPSEC [24]), and traffic conditioner [29] objects.
Finally, this MIB does not support tunnels over non-IPv4 networks
(including IPv6 networks).  Management of such tunnels may be supported
by other MIBs.

3.  The SNMP Network 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].

Draft                        IP Tunnel MIB                     June 1999

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].

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.

4.  Overview

This MIB module contains two tables:

o    the Tunnel Interface Table, containing information on the tunnels
     known to a router; and

o    the Tunnel Config Table, which can be used for dynamic creation of
     tunnels, and also provides a mapping from endpoint addresses to the
     current interface index value.

4.1.  Relationship to the Interfaces MIB

This section clarifies the relationship of this MIB to the Interfaces
MIB [23].  Several areas of correlation are addressed in the following
subsections.  The implementor is referred to the Interfaces MIB document
in order to understand the general intent of these areas.

4.1.1.  Layering Model

Each logical interface (physical or virtual) has an ifEntry in the
Interfaces MIB [23].  Tunnels are handled by creating a logical
interface (ifEntry) for each tunnel. These are then correlated, using
the ifStack table of the Interfaces MIB, to those interfaces on which
the local IPv4 addresses of the tunnels are configured.  The basic
model, therefore, looks something like this (for example):

   | |         | |          | |
+--+ +---+  +--+ +---+      | |
|IP-in-IP|  |  GRE   |      | |
| tunnel |  | tunnel |      | |
+--+ +---+  +--+ +---+      | |
   | |         | |          | |    <== attachment to underlying
+--+ +---------+ +----------+ +--+     interfaces, to be provided
|       Physical interface       |     by ifStack table
+--------------------------------+

4.1.2.  ifRcvAddressTable

   The ifRcvAddressTable usage is defined in the MIBs defining the
   encapsulation below the network layer.  For example, if IP-in-IP
   encapsulation is being used, the ifRcvAddressTable is defined by IP-
   in-IP.

4.1.3.  ifEntry

   IfEntries are defined in the MIBs defining the encapsulation below
   the network layer.  For example, if IP-in-IP encapsulation [20] is
   being used, the ifEntry is defined by IP-in-IP.

   The ifType of a tunnel should be set to "tunnel" (131).  An entry in
   the IP Tunnel MIB will exist for every ifEntry with this ifType.  An
   implementation of the IP Tunnel MIB may allow ifEntries to be created
   via the tunnelConfigTable.  Creating a tunnel will also add an entry
   in the ifTable and in the tunnelIfTable, and deleting a tunnel will
   likewise delete the entry in the ifTable and the tunnelIfTable.

   The use of two different tables in this MIB was an important design
   decision.  Traditionally, ifIndex values are chosen by agents, and
   are permitted to change across restarts.  Allowing row creation
   directly in the Tunnel Interface Table, indexed by ifIndex, would

Draft                        IP Tunnel MIB                     June 1999

   complicate row creation and/or cause interoperability problems (if
   each agent had special restrictions on ifIndex). Instead, a separate
   table is used which is indexed only by objects over which the manager
   has control.  Namely, these are the addresses of the tunnel endpoints
   and the encapsulation protocol.  Finally, an additional manager-
   chosen ID is used in the index to support protocols such as L2F which
   allow multiple tunnels between the same endpoints.

            select a pseudo-random number to use as the tunnelConfigID
            and set tunnelConfigStatus to createAndGo.  In the event
            that this ID is already in use and an inconsistentValue is
            returned in response to the set operation, the management
            station should simply select a new pseudo-random number and
            retry the operation.

            Creating a row in this table will cause an interface index
            to be assigned by the agent in an implementation-dependent
            manner, and corresponding rows will be instantiated in the
            ifTable and the tunnelIfTable.  The status of this row will
            become active as soon as the agent assigns the interface
            index, regardless of whether the interface is operationally
            up.

            Deleting a row in this table will likewise delete the
            corresponding row in the ifTable and in the tunnelIfTable."

6.  Security Considerations

This MIB contains readable objects whose values provide information
related to IP tunnel interfaces.  There are also a number of objects
that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create, such as
those which allow an administrator to dynamically configure tunnels.

While unauthorized access to the readable objects is relatively
innocuous, unauthorized access to the write-able objects could cause a
denial of service, or could cause unauthorized creation and/or
manipulation of tunnels. Hence, the support for 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 [24]), even then, there is
no control as to who on the secure 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 RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based Access
Control Model RFC 2575 [15] 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.
