Internet-Draft PIM BSR MIB August 2006
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 managed 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 document was created by moving some of the PIM BSR specific MIB
tables from one of the earlier version of PIM MIB draft [I-D.ietf-
pim-mib-v2].
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
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].
3. Conventions
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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
4. 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 Elected BSR RP-Set Table, which contains one row for each
Group-to-RP mapping that was received in C-RP advertisements.
Joshi & Bijlani Expires February 24, 2007 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft PIM BSR MIB August 2006
3. The BSR Candidate-BSR Table, which contains one row for each
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
[RFC2863], the INET-ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001] and the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB.

6. Security Considerations
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.
The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by SET
operations on writable objects include:
o A new Candidate BSR with high priority or modification of priority
of an existing candidate BSR can takeover the functionality of
Elected BSR which can prevent and disrupt the services.
o A new Candidate RP with lower priority or modification of priority
of an existing Candidate RP can force other routers to select
itself for a particular group prefix. This can prevent and
Joshi & Bijlani Expires February 24, 2007 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft PIM BSR MIB August 2006
disrupt the services provided through this group prefix.
The following are the read-write and read-create objects defined in
this MIB module:
bsrCandidateRPBidir
bsrCandidateRPPriority
bsrCandidateRPAdvInterval
bsrCandidateRPHoldtime
bsrCandidateBSRAddressType
bsrCandidateBSRAddress
bsrCandidateBSRPriority
bsrCandidateBSRHashMaskLength
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.
In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by GET
and/or NOTIFY operations include:
o Determination of Elected BSR, Candidate BSRs and Candidate RPs in
the Multicast Network topology. This information may be sensitive
and may be used in preparation for DoS attacks including any of
the attacks described above.
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.

7. 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.
8. Acknowledgments
This MIB module is based on the original work in
[I-D.ietf-pim-mib-v2] by R. Sivaramu, J. Lingard and B. Joshi.
Many thanks to Stig, Nidhi and David Mcwalter for their feedback on
this MIB module.
Suggested IPv6 multicast MIBs by R. Sivaramu and R. Raghunarayan have
been used for comparison while editing this MIB module.
