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.

RFC 2667                     IP Tunnel MIB                   August 1999


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]),
  ATMP [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
       STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
       second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
       [5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].

  o    Message protocols for transferring management information. The
       first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
       described in STD 15, 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].

  o    Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
       first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
       described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
       operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
       [13].

RFC 2667                     IP Tunnel MIB                   August 1999


  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):

     +--------------------------------+

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
  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.

           this table, and writable objects in rows of corresponding
           tables such as the tunnelIfTable may be modified while this
           row is active.

           To create a row in this table for an encapsulation method
           which does not support multiple parallel tunnels with the
           same endpoints, the management station should simply use a
           tunnelConfigID of 1, and set tunnelConfigStatus to
           createAndGo.  For encapsulation methods such as L2F which
           allow multiple parallel tunnels, the management station may
           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.

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.
