Internet-Draft PIM BSR MIB October 2005
1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes objects used for managing the Bootstrap
Router (BSR) mechanism for PIM. [I-D.ietf-pim-sm-v2-new], [I-D.ietf-
pim-sm-bsr].
This draft was created by the removal of BSR MIB support from the
draft PIM MIB [I-D.ietf-pim-mib-v2-new]. This draft contains the
removed material, presented as a separate MIB.
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. Overview
This MIB module contains four tables. The tables are:
1. The BSR Candidate-RP Table, which contains one row for each
multicast group address prefix for which the local router is to
advertise itself as a Candidate-RP.
2. The BSR RP-Set Table, which contains one row for each group
mapping that was learned via BSR.
3. The BSR Candidate-BSR Table, which contains Candidate-BSR
configuration for the local router.
4. The BSR Elected BSR Table, which contains one row for each
elected BSR.
This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the IF-MIB

5. Security Considerations
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:
TO DO
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:
TO DO
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
there is still no control over whom on the secure network is allowed
to access (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 this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to access (read/change/create/delete) them.
6. IANA Considerations
PIM-BSR-MIB should be rooted under the mib-2 subtree. IANA is
requested to assign { mib-2 XXX } to the PIM-BSR-MIB module specified
in this document.
