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 to configure and/or
monitor Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for [RFC5880], [RFC5881],
[RFC5883] and [RFC7130], BFD versions 0 and/or 1, on devices
supporting this feature.
This memo does not define a compliance requirement for a system that
only implements BFD version 0. This is a reflection of a considered
and deliberate decision by the BFD WG, because the BFD version 0
protocol is primarily of historical interest by comparison to the
widespread deployment of the BFD version 1 protocol.

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].
As with all MIB modules, an attempt to SET or CREATE an object to a
value that is not supported by the implementation will result in a
failure using a return code that indicates that the value is not
supported.
3. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, acronyms and mechanisms
described in [RFC5880], [RFC5881], [RFC5883] and [RFC7130]. Unless
otherwise stated, the mechanisms described therein will not be re-
described here.
4. Brief Description of MIB Objects
This section describes objects pertaining to BFD. The MIB objects
are derived from [RFC5880], [RFC5881], [RFC5883] and [RFC7130], and
also include textual conventions defined in [I-D.ietf-bfd-tc-mib].
4.1. General Variables
The General Variables are used to identify parameters that are global
to the BFD process.
4.2. Session Table (bfdSessionTable)
The session table is used to identify a BFD session between a pair of
nodes.
4.3. Session Performance Table (bfdSessionPerfTable)
The session performance table is used for collecting BFD performance
counters on a per session basis. This table is an AUGMENT to the
bfdSessionTable.
Nadeau, et al. Expires December 6, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft BFD-STD-MIB June 2014
4.4. BFD Session Discriminator Mapping Table (bfdSessDiscMapTable)
The BFD Session Discriminator Mapping Table provides a mapping
between a local discriminator value to the associated BFD session
found in the bfdSessionTable.
4.5. BFD Session IP Mapping Table (bfdSessIpMapTable)
The BFD Session IP Mapping Table maps, given bfdSessInterface,
bfdSessSrcAddrType, bfdSessSrcAddr, bfdSessDstAddrType, and
bfdSessDstAddr, to an associated BFD session found in the
bfdSessionTable. This table SHOULD contain those BFD sessions that
are of type IP.
5. BFD MIB Module Definitions
This MIB module makes references to the following documents.
[RFC2578], [RFC2579], [RFC2580], [RFC2863], [RFC3289], [RFC3413],
[RFC5082] and [RFC5880].

6. Security Considerations
As BFD may be tied into the stability of the network infrastructure
(such as routing protocols), the effects of an attack on a BFD
session may be very serious. This ultimately has denial-of-service
effects, as links may be declared to be down (or falsely declared to
be up.) As such, improper manipulation of the objects represented by
this MIB may result in denial of service to a large number of end-
users.
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. 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 bfdAdminStatus - Improper change of bfdAdminStatus, to
disabled(2), adminDown(3) or down(4), can cause significant
disruption of the connectivity to those portions of the Internet
reached via all the applicable remote BFD peers.
o bfdSessAdminStatus - Improper change of bfdSessAdminStatus, to
disabled(2), adminDown(3) or down(4), can cause significant
disruption of the connectivity to those portions of the Internet
reached via all the applicable remote BFD peers.

o bfdSessDesiredMinTxInterval, bfdSessReqMinRxInterval,
bfdSessReqMinEchoRxInterval, bfdSessDetectMult - Improper change
of this object can cause connections to be disrupted for extremely
long time periods when otherwise they would be restored in a
relatively short period of time.
o Some management objects define the BFD session whilst other
management objects define the parameter of the BFD session. It is
particularly important to control the support for SET access to
those management objects that define the BFD session, as changes
to them can be disruptive. Implementation SHOULD NOT allow
changes to following management objects when bfdSessState is
up(4):
* bfdSessVersionNumber
* bfdSessType
* bfdSessDestinationUdpPort
* bfdSessMultipointFlag
* bfdSessInterface
* bfdSessSrcAddrType
* bfdSessSrcAddr
* bfdSessDstAddrType
* bfdSessDstAddr
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.
o The bfdSessTable may be used to directly configure BFD sessions.
The bfdSessMapTable can be used indirectly in the same way.
Unauthorized access to objects in this table could result in
disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if
an unauthorized user configures enough tables to invoke a denial
of service attack on the device where they are configured, or on a
remote device where the sessions terminate.

Internet-Draft BFD-STD-MIB June 2014
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. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
o The bfdSessPerfTable both allows access to the performance
characteristics of BFD sessions. Network administrators not
wishing to show this information should consider this table
sensitive.
The bfdSessAuthenticationType, bfdSessAuthenticationKeyID, and
bfdSessAuthenticationKey objects hold security methods and associated
security keys of BFD sessions. These objects are highly sensitive.
In order to prevent this sensitive information from being improperly
accessed, implementers SHOULD disallow access to these objects.
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 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 indeed GET or SET "change/create/delete" them.
7. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
bfdMib { mib-2 XXX }

Internet-Draft BFD-STD-MIB June 2014
[RFC-Editor's Note (to be removed prior to publication): the IANA is
requested to assign a value for "XXX" under the 'mib-2' subtree and
to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the
assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "XXX"
(here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove
this note.]
