1. Introduction
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the
current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to
section 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 a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is
described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579]
and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
Current work is underway in the IETF to specify a suite of
protocols known as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection to detect
faults in the bidirectional path between two forwarding engines,
including interfaces, data link(s), and to the extent possible the
forwarding engines themselves, with potentially very low latency
[BFD].
In this document we describe a MIB module that can be used to
manage BFD implementations. This MIB module covers both
configuration and performance monitoring aspects of BFD.
This document is based on draft-katz-ward-bfd-02.txt [BFD] and
only addresses MIB for MFD running over point-to-point interfaces.
Specifically, this version of the ID does not address BFD over
shared interfaces [BFDSHARED]. Furthermore, at present we do not
directly address manageability requirement when LSP-Ping is used for
boot-strapping the BFD session [BFD-LSP]. Nonetheless, some
considerations are in place for these applications of the BFD. These
aspects of BFD will be directly addressed in the future version of
the ID.
2. Terminology
BFD Working Group Expires December 2004 [Page 2]
Internet Draft BFD-DRAFT-00-MIB June 2004
This document uses terminology from the document describing the
BFD protocol [BFD].
3. The SNMP 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 a MIB
module that is 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. Use of 32-bit and 64-bit Counters
64-bit counters are provided in this MIB module for high speed
interfaces where the use of 32-bit counters might be impractical.
The requirements on the use of 32-bit and 64-bit counters (copied
verbatim from [RFC2863]) are as follows.
For interfaces that operate at 20,000,000 (20 million) bits per
second or less, 32-bit byte and packet counters MUST be supported.
For interfaces that operate faster than 20,000,000 bits/second,
and slower than 650,000,000 bits/second, 32-bit packet counters
MUST be supported and 64-bit octet counters MUST be supported.
For interfaces that operate at 650,000,000 bits/second or faster,
64-bit packet counters AND 64-bit octet counters MUST be
supported.
5. Brief Description of MIB Objects
This section describes objects pertaining to BFD. The MIB objects
are derived from the BFD document [BFD].
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
BFD Working Group Expires December 2004 [Page 3]
Internet Draft BFD-DRAFT-00-MIB June 2004
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 Session Mapping Table (bfdSessMapTable)
The BFD Session Mapping Table maps the complex indexing of the BFD
sessions to the flat BFDIndex used in the BfdSessionTable.

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. 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.
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.
BFD Working Group Expires December 2004 [Page 20]
Internet Draft BFD-DRAFT-00-MIB June 2004
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".
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.
