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 defines three MIB modules that can be used to
manage VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) for transmission over a
Packet Switched Network (PSN) using LDP [RFC4762] or BGP [RFC4761]
signaling. This MIB module provides generic management of VPLS
services as defined by the IETF L2VPN Working Group. Additional MIB
modules are also defined for management of LDP VPLS and BGP VPLS
services by the IETF L2VPN Working Group.
2. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, acronyms, and mechanisms
described in [RFC3985]. Unless otherwise stated, the mechanisms of
[RFC3985] apply and will not be described again here.

2.1. Conventions Used in This Document
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].
3. 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 MIB
modules that are compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD
58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC
2580 [RFC2580].
4. VPLS MIB Module Architecture
The MIB structure for defining a VPLS service is composed from three
MIB modules. (They are referred to as "VPLS MIB" in the figure
below.)
The first is the VPLS-GENERIC-MIB module, which configures general
parameters of the VPLS service that are common to all types of VPLS
services.
The second is the VPLS-LDP-MIB module, which configures VPLS-LDP
[RFC4762] specific parameters of the VPLS service.
The third is the VPLS-BGP-MIB module, which configures VPLS-BGP
[RFC4761] specific parameters of the VPLS service.
The arrows in Figure 1 indicate whether we can map data from one
module into another.

Additionally, service-specific modules may be defined in other
documents.
4.1. VPLS-GENERIC-MIB Module Usage
An entry in the vplsConfigTable MUST exist for every VPLS service.
This table holds generic parameters that apply to a VPLS service
which can be signaled via LDP or BGP.
A conceptual row can be created in the vplsConfigTable in one of the
following ways:
1) A Network Management System (NMS) creates a row in the
vplsConfigTable using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Set requests, which causes the node to create and start a new VPLS
service. The agent MUST support the creation of VPLS services in
this way.
2) The agent MAY create a row in the vplsConfigTable automatically
due to some auto discovery application, or based on configuration
that is done through non-SNMP applications. This mode is
OPTIONAL.
At least one entry in the vplsPwBindTable MUST exist for each VPLS
service.
This Binding table links one VPLS service with one or many
pseudowires (defined in [RFC5601]). Each pseudowire may be used as a
spoke or as part of a mesh based on the parameters defined in this
table.
For each VPLS service, an entry in the vplsBgpAdConfigTable MUST
exist if Auto-discovery has been enabled for that service. This
table stores the information required for auto-discovery.
Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7257 VPLS Management Information Base July 2014
For each VPLS service, at least one entry in the
vplsBgpRteTargetTable MUST exist if auto-discovery has been
configured for that service. One service can import and export
multiple Route Targets.
4.2. VPLS-LDP-MIB Module Usage
An entry in the vplsLdpConfigTable MUST be created by the agent for a
VPLS service signaled using LDP.
4.3. VPLS-BGP-MIB Module Usage
An entry in the vplsBgpConfigTable MUST be created by the agent for a
VPLS service signaled using BGP.
4.4. Relations to Other MIB Modules
- The vplsPwBindTable links the VPLS entry to the pwTable in
[RFC5601].
- The association of Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to VPLS
entries is possible by adding a turnstile function to interpret the
entries in [SNMP-CONTEXT-MAP-MIB]. In [SNMP-CONTEXT-MAP-MIB],
there is a mapping from the vacmContextName [RFC3415] to
dot1dBasePort [RFC4188] and vplsConfigIndex. This mapping can be
used to map the vplsConfigIndex to a dot1dBasePort in the BRIDGE-
MIB. This resulting value of dot1dBasePort can be used to access
corresponding MAC addresses that belong to a particular
vplsConfigIndex.
- Unless all the necessary entries in the applicable tables have been
created and all the parameters have been consistently configured in
those tables, signaling cannot be performed from the local node,
and the vplsConfigRowStatus should report 'notReady'.
- Statistics can be gathered from the PW Performance tables in
[RFC5601].
5. Example of the VPLS MIB Modules Usage
In this section, we provide an example of the use of the MIB objects
described in Section 6 to set up a VPLS service over MPLS. While
this example is not meant to illustrate every permutation of the MIB,
it is intended as an aid to understanding some of the key concepts.
It is meant to be read after going through the MIB itself.
Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7257 VPLS Management Information Base July 2014
In this example, a VPLS service (VPLS-A) is set up using LDP for
signaling the pseudowire. The Binding between the VPLS service and
the pseudowire is reflected in the VplsPwBindTable. The pseudowire
configuration is defined in RFC 5601.
In the VPLS-GENERIC-MIB module:
Row in vplsConfigTable:
{
vplsConfigIndex 10,
vplsConfigName "VPLS-A"
vplsConfigAdminStatus 1(up),
vplsConfigMacLearning 1(true),
vplsConfigDiscardUnknownDest 2(false),
vplsConfigMacAging 1(true),
vplsConfigVpnId "100:10"
vplsConfigRowStatus 1(active)
}
Row in vplsStatusTable:
{
vplsStatusOperStatus 1(up),
vplsStatusPeerCount 1
}
Row in VplsPwBindTable :
{
vplsPwBindConfigType manual,
vplsPwBindType spoke,
vplsPwBindRowStatus 1(active),
vplsPwBindStorageType volatile
}
In the VPLS-LDP-MIB module:
Row in vplsLdpConfigTable:
{
vplsLdpConfigMacAddrWithdraw 1(true),
}
Row in vplsLdpPwBindTable:
{
vplsLdpPwBindType 1(mesh),
vplsLdpPwBindMacAddressLimit 100
}

7. 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 their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
o vplsConfigTable:
o vplsPwBindTable:
o vplsBgpADConfigTable:
o vplsBgpRteTargetTable:
o vplsLdpPwBindTable:
o vplsLdpConfigTable:
o vplsBgpConfigTable:
o vplsBgpVETable:
The tables listed above contain read-create/read-write objects
that can be used to configure or modify a LDP/BGP VPLS service.
Any improper configuration or modification of objects in these
tables can disrupt VPLS services.
The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be
considered where possible for configuring these objects.
Specifically, SNMPv3 View-based Access Control Model (VACM) and
User-based Security Model (USM) MUST be used with any v3 agent
that provides SET access to these tables.
o vplsNotificationMaxRate
Setting this object to a very high value can cause a notification
storm that may disrupt network service.
Most 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 readable objects are contained in the
following tables:
o vplsConfigTable
o vplsStatusTable
o vplsPwBindTable
o vplsBgpADConfigTable
o vplsBgpRteTargetTable
o vplsLdpPwBindTable
Nadeau, et al. Standards Track [Page 44]
RFC 7257 VPLS Management Information Base July 2014
o vplsLdpConfigTable
o vplsBgpConfigTable
o vplsBgpVETable
o vplsBgpPwBindTable
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
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.
Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
[RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].
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 modules in this document use the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry.
8.1. IANA Considerations for VPLS-GENERIC-MIB
The IANA has assigned { transmission 274 } to the VPLS-GENERIC-MIB
module specified in this document.
8.2. IANA Considerations for VPLS-LDP-MIB
The IANA has assigned { transmission 275 } to the VPLS-LDP-MIB module
specified in this document.
8.3. IANA Considerations for VPLS-BGP-MIB
The IANA has assigned { transmission 276 } to the VPLS-BGP-MIB module
specified in this document.
