Definitions of Managed Objects for Common Open Policy Service (COPS)
Protocol Clients
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets.
In particular it defines objects for managing a client of the Common
Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol.
This memo includes a MIB module in a manner that is compliant to the
SMIv2 [V2SMI].
1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in an Architecture for
Describing SNMP Management Frameworks [ARCH].
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 [V1SMI], STD 16, RFC 1212 [V1CONCISE] and RFC
1215 [V1TRAPS]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described
in STD 58, RFC 2578 [V2SMI], STD 58, RFC 2579 [V2TC] and STD
58, RFC 2580 [V2CONFORM].
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 [V1PROTO]. A second version of
the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards
track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901
[V2COMMUNITY] and RFC 1906 [V2TRANS]. The third version of the
message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC1906
[V2TRANS], Message Processing and Dispatching [V3MPC] and
User-based Security Model [V3USM].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [V1PROTO]. A second set of
protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in
RFC 1905 [V2PROTO].
o A set of fundamental applications described in SNMPv3
Applications [V3APPS] and the view-based access control
mechanism described in View-based Access Control Model
[V3VACM].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [V3INTRO].
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.
2. Overview
The COPS protocol [COPS] is a client-server protocol intended for the
communication of policy requests and decisions between a Policy
Enforcement Point (PEP) and a Policy Decision Point (PDP). The PEP
acts as a COPS client in this scenario. The model for policy out-
sourcing, of which the COPS protocol provides one part, is described
in [FRAMEWORK].
2.1. Scope
This MIB is intended to provide management of the important features
of a COPS protocol client module. It does not provide management for
a COPS server - this is outside the scope of the current memo. It
provides for monitoring of status and protocol statistics, as well as
for configuration of the client, in particular for telling it where
to locate its servers. Other mechanisms for achieving this function
without SNMP configuration might include use of the Service Location
Protocol [SRVLOC] although this is outside the scope of this memo and
are not specified by the COPS protocol itself.
This MIB also does not provide management of specific COPS client-
types e.g., for use with the RSVP protocol [RSVP][COPSRSVP].
3. Structure of COPS Client MIB
Objects in this MIB are arranged into groups. Each group is
organized as a set of related objects. The overall structure is
described below.
3.1. copsClientCapabilitiesGroup
This group contains objects that represent COPS protocol capabilities
implemented by this COPS client.
3.2. copsClientStatusGroup
This group contains objects that indicate the current status of
connection(s) to COPS servers, including per-server protocol
statistics. It maintains last-known statistics for all of the
servers with which the client has ever been connected since agent
restart.
3.3. copsConfigGroup
This group contains objects that allow for configuration of COPS
server addresses and the order to which connections should be
attempted. It contains a table of per-server objects as well as
scalars for configuration of the retry algorithm to be used by a
client to obtain a connection to an appropriate server.
3.4. Textual Conventions
The datatypes CopsClientState, CopsServerEntryType, CopsErrorCode,
CopsTcpPort and CopsAuthType are used as textual conventions in this
document. These textual conventions have NO effect on either the
syntax nor the semantics of any managed object. Objects defined
using these conventions are always encoded by means of the rules that
define their primitive type. Hence, no changes to the SMI or the
SNMP are necessary to accommodate these textual conventions which are
adopted merely for the convenience of readers.
3.5. Relationship to Other MIBs
3.5.1. Relationship to the 'system' group
This MIB contains definitions for a single COPS protocol client
represented by a single SNMP agent and instance of the MIB-2 system
group [MIB2]. It does not address the case of multiple co-located
COPS protocol clients.

For the 'roundRobin(3)' algorithm, the client always attempts
to connect to each Server in turn, until one succeeds or they
all fail; if they all fail, then the client waits for the value
of this interval before restarting the algorithm."

COPS protocol which was defined by the RSVP Admission Policy (rap)
Working Group, now known as the Resource Allocation Protocol (rap)
Working Group.
6. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of 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.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. 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 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 [USM] and the View-based Access
Control Model [VACM] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, 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.
