<abstract>

<t>This draft defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module which contains Textual Conventions to represent commonly used Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) management information. The intent is that these TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS (TCs) will be imported and used in BFD related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own representations.</t>

      <t>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 <xref target="RFC2578"></xref>, STD 58, RFC 2579 <xref target="RFC2579"></xref> and STD 58, RFC 2580 <xref target="RFC2580"></xref>.</t>

<t>This document defines a MIB module which contains Textual Conventions for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocols.  These Textual Conventions should be imported by MIB modules which manage BFD protocols.</t>

 STATUS                        current
 DESCRIPTION
     "BFD authentication key type.

      A BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC is always interpreted within
      the context of an BfdSessAuthenticationTypeTC value.  Every
      usage of the BfdSessionAuthenticationTypeTC textual
      convention is required to specify the
      BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC object that provides the
      context.  It is suggested that the
      BfdSessionAuthentcationTypeTC object be logically registered
      before the object(s) that use the
      BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC textual convention, if they
      appear in the same logical row.

      The value of a BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC must always be
      consistent with the value of the associated
      BfdSessionAuthencationTypeTC object.  Attempts to set a
      BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC object to a value inconsistent
      with the associated BfdSessionAuthenticationTypeTC must fail
      with an inconsistentValue error.

      The following size constraints for a
      BfdSessionAuthenticationKeyTC object are defined for the
      associated BfdSessionAuthenticationTypeTC values show below:

      noAuthentication(-1): SIZE(0)
      reserved(0): SIZE(0)
      simplePassword(1): SIZE(1..16)
      keyedMD5(2): SIZE(16)
      meticulousKeyedMD5(3): SIZE(16)
      keyedSHA1(4): SIZE(20)
      meticulousKeyedSHA1(5): SIZE(20)

      When this textual convention is used as the syntax of an
      index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
      sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58.  In this case,
      the object definition MUST include a 'SIZE' clause to limit
      the number of potential instance sub-identifiers; otherwise
      the applicable constraints MUST be stated in the appropriate
      conceptual row DESCRIPTION clauses, or in the surrounding
      documentation if there is no single DESCRIPTION clause that
      is appropriate."
