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 for modeling a
Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) [RFC3945] Label
Switching Router (LSR).
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC2119].
1.1. Migration Strategy
MPLS LSRs may be modeled and managed using the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB
module [RFC3813].
LSRs may be migrated to be modeled and managed using the MIB modules
in this document in order to migrate the LSRs to GMPLS support, or to
take advantage of additional MIB objects defined in these MIB modules
that are applicable to MPLS-TE.
The GMPLS LSR MIB module (GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB), defined in this
document, extends the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module [RFC3813] through a
series of sparse augmentations of the MIB tables. The only additions
are for support of GMPLS or to support the increased complexity of
MPLS and GMPLS systems.
In order to migrate from MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB support to GMPLS-LSR-STD-
MIB support, an implementation needs only to add support for the
additional tables and objects defined in GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB. The
gmplsInterfaceSignalingCaps object allows an implementation to use
the objects and tables of GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB without supporting the
GMPLS protocols.
The GMPLS Label MIB module (GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB), also defined in
this document, allows labels to be configured and examined, and it
supports more varieties of labels as appropriate for GMPLS. Labels
may be referenced using a row pointer from objects within the GMPLS-
LSR-STD-MIB module. MPLS implementations (MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB) may also
reference labels held in the GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB module through the
various label pointer objects in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module (such as
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr), and may do so without implementing the
GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module.
The companion document modeling and managing GMPLS-based traffic
engineering [RFC4802] extends the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB module [RFC3812]
with the same intentions.
Textual conventions are defined in [RFC4801], which extends the set
of textual conventions originally defined in [RFC3811].
2. Terminology
This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS
architecture [RFC3031] and the GMPLS architecture [RFC3945].
A Label Switched Path (LSP) is modeled as a connection consisting of
one or more incoming segments (in-segments) and/or one or more
outgoing segments (out-segments) at an LSR. The association or
interconnection of the in-segments and out-segments is accomplished
by using a cross-connect. We use the terminology "connection" and
"LSP" interchangeably where the meaning is clear from the context.
in-segment This is analogous to a GMPLS Label on an interface.
out-segment This is analogous to a GMPLS Label on an interface.
cross-connect This describes the conceptual connection between a set
of in-segments and out-segments. Note that either set
may be empty; for example, a cross-connect may connect
only out-segments together with no in-segments in the
case where an LSP originates on an LSR.
The terms 'ingress' and 'head-end' (or 'head') are used in this
document to indicate the signaling source of an LSP. This is
sometimes also referred to as the 'sender'.
The terms 'egress' and 'tail-end' (or 'tail') are used in this
document to indicate the signaling destination of an LSP.
The term 'upstream' is used in this document to refer to the part of
an LSP that is closer to the ingress than the current point of
reference.
The term 'downstream' is used in this document to refer to the part
of an LSP that is closer to the egress than the current point of
reference.
The term 'forward' is used in this document to indicate the direction
of data flow from the ingress toward the egress.
The term 'reverse' is used in this document to indicate the direction
of data flow from the egress toward the ingress.
3. 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].
4. Outline
4.1. MIB Modules
There are two MIB modules defined in this document.
The GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module contains tables that sparse augment
tables defined in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module [RFC3813]. This MIB
module is used in conjunction with the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module
[RFC3813] in systems that support GMPLS.
The GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB module contains objects for managing GMPLS
Labels when they cannot be represented using the textual conventions
of the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB module [RFC3811], or when more detailed access
to the sub-fields of the labels is required.
4.1.1. Summary of the GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB Module
The MIB tables in the GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module are as follows:
- The interface configuration table (gmplsInterfaceTable) sparse
augments the mplsInterfaceTable [RFC3813] to enable the GMPLS
protocol on MPLS-capable interfaces.
- The in-segment (gmplsInSegmentTable) and out-segment
(gmplsOutSegmentTable) tables sparse augment mplsInSegmentTable
and mplsOutSegmentTable [RFC3813] to enable configuration of
GMPLS-specific parameters for LSP segments at an LSR.
These tables are described in the subsequent sections.
4.1.2. Summary of the GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB Module
There is one MIB table in the GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB module as follows:
- The gmplsLabelTable allows Generalized Labels to be defined and
managed in a central location. Generalized Labels can be of
variable length and have distinct bit-by-bit interpretations
depending upon how they are defined for the specific technology in
which they are used. For example, labels used for MPLS packet
switching are different in length and content from labels used in
Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) timeslot switching.
4.2. Configuring Statically Provisioned LSPs
Configuring statically provisioned GMPLS LSPs through an LSR involves
the following steps:
- Configuring an interface using the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module
[RFC3813].
- Enabling GMPLS on GMPLS-capable interfaces using the GMPLS-LSR-
STD-MIB module in this document.
- Configuring in-segments and out-segments using the MPLS-LSR-STD-
MIB module [RFC3813].
- Configuring GMPLS extensions to the in-segments and out-segments
using the GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module in this document.
- Setting up the cross-connect table in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module
[RFC3813] to associate segments and/or to indicate connection
origination and termination.
- Optionally setting up labels in the label table in the GMPLS-
LABEL-STD-MIB module in this document if the textual convention
MplsLabel [RFC3811] is not capable of holding the required label
(for example, if the label requires more than 32 bits to encode
it), or if the operator wishes to disambiguate GMPLS Label types.
- Optionally specifying label stack actions in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB
module [RFC3813].
- Optionally specifying segment traffic parameters in the MPLS-LSR-
STD-MIB module [RFC3813].
5. Bidirectional LSPs
The GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module supports bidirectional LSPs as required
for GMPLS. A single value of mplsXCIndex is shared by all of the
segments for the entire bidirectional LSP. This facilitates a simple
reference from [RFC3812] and [RFC4802] and makes fate-sharing more
obvious.
It is, however, important that the direction of segments is
understood to avoid connecting all in-segments to all out-segments.
This is achieved by an object in each segment that indicates the
direction of the segment with respect to data flow.
A segment that is marked as 'forward' carries data from the 'head' of
the LSP to the 'tail'. A segment marked as 'reverse' carries data in
the reverse direction.
Where an LSP is signaled using a conventional signaling protocol, the
'head' of the LSP is the source of the signaling (also known as the
ingress) and the 'tail' is the destination (also known as the
egress). For manually configured LSPs, an arbitrary decision must be
made about which segments are 'forward' and which 'reverse'. For
consistency, this decision should be made across all LSRs that
participate in the LSP by assigning 'head' and 'tail' ends to the
LSP.
6. Example of LSP Setup
In this section, we provide a brief example of using the MIB objects
described in sections 7 and 8 to set up an LSP. While this example
is not meant to illustrate every nuance of the MIB modules, it is
intended as an aid to understanding some of the key concepts. It is
meant to be read after going through the MIB modules themselves. A
prerequisite is an understanding of the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module
[RFC3813].
Suppose that one would like to manually create a best-effort,
bidirectional LSP. Assume that, in the forward direction, the LSP
enters the LSR via MPLS interface A with ifIndex 12 and exits the LSR
via MPLS interface B with ifIndex 13. For the reverse direction, we
assume that the LSP enters via interface B and leaves via interface A
(i.e., the forward and reverse directions use the same bidirectional
interfaces). Let us also assume that we do not wish to have a label
stack beneath the top label on the outgoing labeled packets. The
following example illustrates which rows and corresponding objects
might be created to accomplish this.
We must first create rows in the gmplsLabelTable corresponding to the
labels required for each of the forward- and reverse-direction in-
and out-segments. For the purpose of this example, the forward and
reverse labels on each interface will be the same, hence we need to
create just two rows in the gmplsLabelTable - one for each interface.
In gmplsLabelTable:
{
gmplsLabelInterface = 12,
gmplsLabelIndex = 1,
gmplsLabelSubindex = 0,
gmplsLabelType = gmplsFreeformLabel(3),
gmplsLabelFreeform = 0x123456789ABCDEF0
gmplsLabelRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}
In gmplsLabelTable:
{
gmplsLabelInterface = 13,
gmplsLabelIndex = 1,
gmplsLabelSubindex = 0,
gmplsLabelType = gmplsFreeformLabel(3),
gmplsLabelFreeform = 0xFEDCBA9876543210
gmplsLabelRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}
We must next create the appropriate in-segment and out-segment
entries. These are done in [RFC3813] using the mplsInSegmentTable
and mplsOutSegmentTable. Note that we use a row pointer to the two
rows in the gmplsLabelTable rather than specify the labels explicitly
in the in- and out-segment tables. Also note that the row status for
each row is set to createAndWait(5) to allow corresponding entries in
the gmplsInSegmentTable and gmplsOutSegmentTable to be created.
For the forward direction.
In mplsInSegmentTable:
{
mplsInSegmentIndex = 0x00000015
mplsInSegmentLabel = 0, -- incoming label in label table
mplsInSegmentNPop = 1,
mplsInSegmentInterface = 12, -- incoming interface
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsInSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr = gmplsLabelTable(12,1,0)
mplsInSegmentRowStatus = createAndWait(5)
}
In mplsOutSegmentTable:
{
mplsOutSegmentIndex = 0x00000012,
mplsOutSegmentInterface = 13, -- outgoing interface
mplsOutSegmentPushTopLabel = true(1),
mplsOutSegmentTopLabel = 0, -- outgoing label in label table
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsOutSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsOutSegmentLabelPtr = gmplsLabelTable(13,1,0)
mplsOutSegmentRowStatus = createAndWait(5)
}
For the reverse direction.
In mplsInSegmentTable:
{
mplsInSegmentIndex = 0x00000016
mplsInSegmentLabel = 0, -- incoming label in label table
mplsInSegmentNPop = 1,
mplsInSegmentInterface = 13, -- incoming interface
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsInSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr = gmplsLabelTable(13,1,0)
mplsInSegmentRowStatus = createAndWait(5)
}
In mplsOutSegmentTable:
{
mplsOutSegmentIndex = 0x00000013,
mplsOutSegmentInterface = 12, -- outgoing interface
mplsOutSegmentPushTopLabel = true(1),
mplsOutSegmentTopLabel = 0, -- outgoing label in label table
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsOutSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsOutSegmentLabelPtr = gmplsLabelTable(12,1,0)
mplsOutSegmentRowStatus = createAndWait(5)
}
These table entries are extended by entries in the
gmplsInSegmentTable and gmplsOutSegmentTable. Note that the nature
of the 'extends' relationship is a sparse augmentation so that the
entry in the gmplsInSegmentTable has the same index values as the
entry in the mplsInSegmentTable. Similarly, the entry in the
gmplsOutSegmentTable has the same index values as the entry in the
mplsOutSegmentTable.
First for the forward direction:
In gmplsInSegmentTable(0x00000015)
{
gmplsInSegmentDirection = forward(1)
}
In gmplsOutSegmentTable(0x00000012)
{
gmplsOutSegmentDirection = forward(1)
}
Next for the reverse direction:
In gmplsInSegmentTable(0x00000016)
{
gmplsInSegmentDirection = reverse(2)
}
In gmplsOutSegmentTable(0x00000013)
{
gmplsOutSegmentDirection = reverse(2)
}
Next, two cross-connect entries are created in the mplsXCTable of the
MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC3813], thereby associating the newly created
segments together.
In mplsXCTable:
{
mplsXCIndex = 0x01,
mplsXCInSegmentIndex = 0x00000015,
mplsXCOutSegmentIndex = 0x00000012,
mplsXCLspId = 0x0102 -- unique ID
mplsXCLabelStackIndex = 0x00, -- only a single outgoing label
mplsXCRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}
In mplsXCTable:
{
mplsXCIndex = 0x02,
mplsXCInSegmentIndex = 0x00000016,
mplsXCOutSegmentIndex = 0x00000013,
mplsXCLspId = 0x0102 -- unique ID
mplsXCLabelStackIndex = 0x00, -- only a single outgoing label
mplsXCRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}
Finally, the in-segments and out-segments are activated.
In mplsInSegmentTable(0x00000015):
{
mplsInSegmentRowStatus = active(1)
}
In mplsInSegmentTable(0x00000016):
{
mplsInSegmentRowStatus = active(1)
}
In mplsOutSegmentTable(0x00000012):
{
mplsOutSegmentRowStatus = active(1)
}
In mplsOutSegmentTable(0x00000013):
{
mplsOutSegmentRowStatus = active(1)
}

"A conceptual row in this table is created automatically by an

GMPLS and configured to support GMPLS. Note that
support of GMPLS is not limited to control plane signaling,
but may include data-plane-only function configured through
SNMP SET commands performed on this MIB module.
A conceptual row in this table may also be created via SNMP
SET commands or automatically by the LSR to supplement a
conceptual row in the mplsInterfaceTable where the interface
is not capable of GMPLS but where the other objects carried
in this row provide useful additional information for an
MPLS interface.
A conceptual row in this table will exist if and only if a
corresponding entry in the mplsInterfaceTable exists, and a
corresponding entry in the ifTable exists with ifType = mpls(166).
If the associated entry in the ifTable is operationally disabled
(thus removing the GMPLS capabilities on the interface) or the
entry in the mplsInterfaceTable is deleted, the corresponding entry
in this table MUST be deleted shortly thereafter.
The indexes are the same as for the mplsInterfaceTable. Thus, the
entry with index 0 represents the per-platform label space and
contains parameters that apply to all interfaces that
participate in the per-platform label space."

gmplsLabelTable OBJECT-TYPE

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Table of GMPLS Labels. This table allows the representation
of the more complex label forms required for GMPLS that cannot
be held within the TEXTUAL-CONVENTION MplsLabel; that is, labels
that cannot be encoded within 32 bits. It is, nevertheless, also
capable of holding 32-bit labels or regular MPLS Labels if
desired.
Each entry in this table represents an individual GMPLS Label
value. The representation of Labels in tables in other MIB
modules may be achieved by a referrence to an entry in this
table by means of a row pointer into this table. The indexing
of this table provides for arbitrary indexing and also for
concatenation of labels.
For an example of label concatenation, see RFC 3945, section 7.1.
In essence, a GMPLS Label may be composite in order to identify
a set of resources in the data plane. Practical examples are
timeslots and wavelength sets (which are not contiguous like
wavebands).
The indexing mechanism allows multiple entries in this table to
be seen as a sequence of labels that should be concatenated.
Ordering is potentially very sensitive for concatenation."

gmplsLabelEntry OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX GmplsLabelEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An entry in this table represents a single label value. There
are three indexes into the table.
- The interface index may be helpful to distinguish which
labels are in use on which interfaces or to handle cases
where there are a very large number of labels in use in the
system. When label representation is desired to apply to the
whole system or when it is not important to distinguish
labels by their interfaces, this index MAY be set to zero.
- The label index provides a way of identifying the label.
- The label sub-index is only used for concatenated labels. It
identifies each component label. When non-concatenated labels
are used, this index SHOULD be set to zero.
A storage type object is supplied to control the storage type
for each entry, but implementations should note that the storage
type of conceptual rows in other tables that include row
pointers to an entry in this table SHOULD dictate the storage
type of the rows in this table where the row in the other table
is more persistent."

the lowest gmplsLabelSubindex appearing first. Note that all
sub-labels of a single GMPLS Label must share the same
gmplsLabelInterface and gmplsLabelIndex values. For labels that

present in the gmplsLabelMplsLabel object and encoded using the
MplsLabel TEXTUAL-CONVENTION (may be a 20-bit MPLS Label, a 10-

using MPLS or GMPLS.
The value of this object helps determine which of the following

9. Security Considerations
It is clear that the MIB modules described in this document in
association with MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC3813] are potentially useful
for monitoring of GMPLS LSRs. These MIB modules can also be used for
configuration of certain objects, and anything that can be configured
can be incorrectly configured, with potentially disastrous results.
There are a number of management objects defined in these MIB modules
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or 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. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
o the gmplsInterfaceTable, gmplsInSegmentTable,
gmplsOutSegmentTable, and gmplsLabelTable collectively contain
objects to provision GMPLS interfaces, LSPs, and their associated
parameters on a Label Switching Router (LSR). Unauthorized write
access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of
traffic on the network. This is especially true if an LSP has
already been established.
Some of the readable objects in these MIB modules (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. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
o the gmplsInterfaceTable, gmplsInSegmentTable,
gmplsOutSegmentTable, and gmplsLabelTable collectively show the
LSP network topology and its capabilities. If an administrator
does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should
be considered sensitive/vulnerable.
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.
10. Acknowledgments
This document is a product of the CCAMP Working Group.
This document extends the MIB tables in [RFC3813]. The authors would
like to express their gratitude to all those who worked on that
earlier MIB document.
The authors would like to express their thanks to Dan Joyle for his
careful review and comments on early versions of the label table.
Special thanks to Joan Cucchiara and Len Nieman for their help with
compilation issues. Lars Eggert, Tom Petch, Dan Romascanu, and Bert
Wijnen provided useful input in the final stages of review.
Joan Cucchiara provided a helpful and very thorough MIB Doctor
review.
11. IANA Considerations
IANA has rooted MIB objects in the two MIB modules contained in this
document under the mplsStdMIB subtree.
IANA has made the following assignments in the "NETWORK MANAGEMENT
PARAMETERS" registry located at http://www.iana.org/assignments/
smi-numbers in table:
...mib-2.transmission.mplsStdMIB (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166)
Decimal Name References
------- ----- ----------
15 GMPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC4803]
16 GMPLS-LABEL-STD-MIB [RFC4803]
In the future, GMPLS-related standards-track MIB modules should be
rooted under the mplsStdMIB (sic) subtree. IANA has been requested
to manage that namespace in the SMI Numbers registry [RFC3811]. New
assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in
[RFC2434].
