RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols. In particular, it defines
objects for managing Multiprotocol Label Switching - Transport
Profile (MPLS-TP) linear protection.
This MIB module should be used for configuring and managing MPLS-TP
linear protection for MPLS-TP Label Switched Paths (LSPs).
At the time of this writing, Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) SET is no longer recommended as a way to configure MPLS
networks as described in RFC 3812 [RFC3812]. However, since the MIB
module specified in this document is intended to work in parallel
with the MIB module for MPLS specified in [RFC3812] and the MIB
module for MPLS-TP Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
identifiers in RFC 7697 [RFC7697], certain objects defined here are
specified with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write or read-create so
that specifications of the base tables in [RFC3812] and [RFC7697] and
the new MIB module in this document are consistent.
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", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
4. Overview
RFC 6378 [RFC6378] defines the protocol to provide a linear
protection switching mechanism for MPLS-TP for a point-to-point LSP
within the protection domain bounded by the endpoints of the LSP.
RFC 7271 [RFC7271] describes alternative mechanisms to perform some
of the functions defined in [RFC6378] and also defines additional
mechanisms to provide operator control and experience that more
closely model the behavior of linear protection seen in other
transport networks. Two modes are defined for MPLS-TP linear
protection switching: the Protection State Coordination (PSC) mode
and the Automatic Protection Switching (APS) mode, as specified in
[RFC6378] and [RFC7271], respectively. The detailed protocol
specification of MPLS-TP linear protection is described in [RFC6378]
and [RFC7271].
This document specifies a MIB module for Label Edge Routers (LERs)
that support MPLS-TP linear protection as described in [RFC6378] and
[RFC7271]. Objects defined in this document are generally applied to
both the PSC mode and the APS mode. If an object is valid for a
particular mode only, it is noted in the description for the object.
5. Structure of the MIB Module
5.1. Textual Conventions
The following new textual conventions are defined in this document:
o MplsLpsReq: This textual convention describes an object that
stores the PSC Request field of the PSC control packet.
o MplsLpsFpathPath: This textual convention describes an object that
stores the Fault Path (FPath) field and Data Path (Path) field of
the PSC control packet.
o MplsLpsCommand: This textual convention describes an object that
allows a user to perform any action over a protection domain.
o MplsLpsState: This textual convention describes an object that
stores the current state of the PSC state machine.
5.2. The MPLS-TP Linear Protection Switching Subtree
MPLS-LPS-MIB is the MIB module defined in this document. It is
rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree per [RFC3811]. "LPS" as used in
this document means "Linear Protection Switching".
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
5.3. The Notifications Subtree
Notifications are defined to inform the management station about
switchovers, provisioning mismatches, and protocol failures of the
linear protection domain. The following notifications are defined
for this purpose:
o The notification mplsLpsEventSwitchover informs the management
station about the switchover of the active path.
o The notification mplsLpsEventRevertiveMismatch informs the
management station about a provisioning mismatch in the revertive
mode across the endpoint of the protection domain.
o The notification mplsLpsEventProtecTypeMismatch informs the
management station about a provisioning mismatch in the protection
type, representing both the bridge type and the switching type,
across the endpoint of the protection domain.
o The notification mplsLpsEventCapabilitiesMismatch informs the
management station about a provisioning mismatch in Capabilities
TLVs across the endpoint of the protection domain.
o The notification mplsLpsEventPathConfigMismatch informs the
management station about a provisioning mismatch in the protection
path configuration for PSC communication.
o The notification mplsLpsEventFopNoResponse informs the management
station that protocol failure has occurred due to a lack of
response to a traffic switchover request in 50 ms.
o The notification mplsLpsEventFopTimeout informs the management
station that protocol failure has occurred because no protocol
message was received during at least 3.5 times the long PSC
message interval [RFC7271].
5.4. The Table Structures
The MPLS-TP linear protection MIB module has four tables. The tables
are as follows:
o mplsLpsConfigTable
This table is used to configure MPLS-TP linear protection domains.
An MPLS-TP linear protection domain (or a protection domain) is
identified by mplsLpsConfigDomainIndex. A protection domain
consists of two LERs, as well as the working path and protection
path that connect the two LERs. The objects in this table are
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
used to configure properties that are specific to the protection
domain. Two Maintenance Entities (MEs) MUST be defined for each
protection domain: one for the working path and the other for the
protection path. Therefore, two entries in the
mplsLpsMeConfigTable, which is for configuring the MEs used in
protection switching, are associated to one entry in this table.
o mplsLpsStatusTable
This table provides the current status information of MPLS-TP
linear protection domains that have been configured on the system.
The entries in the mplsLpsStatusTable have an AUGMENTS
relationship with the entries in the mplsLpsConfigTable. When a
protection domain is configured or deleted in the
mplsLpsConfigTable, then the corresponding row of that session in
the mplsLpsStatusTable is automatically created or deleted,
respectively.
o mplsLpsMeConfigTable
This table is used to associate MEs to the protection domain.
Each protection domain requires two MEs. One entry in the
mplsLpsConfigTable is associated with two entries in this table:
one for the working path and the other for the protection path of
the protection domain. The mplsLpsMeConfigPath object in this
table indicates that the path is either the working path or the
protection path. The ME is identified by mplsOamIdMegIndex,
mplsOamIdMeIndex, and mplsOamIdMeMpIndex, which are the same index
values as the entry in the mplsOamIdMeTable defined in [RFC7697].
The relationship to the mplsOamIdMeTable is described in
Section 6.1.
o mplsLpsMeStatusTable
This table provides current information about the protection
status of MEs that have been configured on the system. When an ME
is configured or deleted in the mplsLpsMeConfigTable, then the
corresponding row of that session in the mplsLpsMeStatusTable is
automatically created or deleted, respectively.
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
6. Relationship to Other MIB Modules
6.1. Relationship to the MPLS OAM Identifiers MIB Module
Entries in the mplsOamIdMeTable [RFC7697] are extended by entries in
the mplsLpsMeConfigTable. Note that the nature of the "extends"
relationship is a sparse augmentation so that the entry in the
mplsLpsMeConfigTable has the same index values as the entry in the
mplsOamIdMeTable. Each time that an entry is created in the
mplsOamIdMeTable for which the LER supports MPLS-TP linear
protection, a row is created automatically in the
mplsLpsMeConfigTable.
When a point-to-point transport path needs to be monitored, one ME is
needed for the path and one entry in the mplsOamIdMeTable will be
created. But the ME entry in the mplsOamIdMeTable may or may not
participate in protection switching. If an ME participates in
protection switching, an entry in the mplsLpsMeConfigTable MUST be
created, and the objects in the entry indicate which protection
domain this ME belongs to and whether this ME is for the working path
or the protection path. If the ME does not participate in protection
switching, an entry in the mplsLpsMeConfigTable does not need to be
created.
7. Example of Protection Switching Configuration
This example considers the protection domain configuration on an LER
to provide protection for a co-routed bidirectional MPLS tunnel. For
the working path and protection path of the protection domain, two
Maintenance Entity Groups (MEGs) need to be configured, and each MEG
contains one ME for a point-to-point transport path. For more
information on the mplsOamIdMegTable and the mplsOamIdMeTable, see
[RFC7697].
Although the example described in this section shows a way to
configure linear protection for MPLS-TP tunnels, this also indicates
how the MIB values would be returned if they had been configured by
alternative means.
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
The following table configures a protection domain.
In the mplsLpsConfigTable:
mplsLpsConfigEntry ::= SEQUENCE
{
-- Protection domain index (index to the table)
mplsLpsConfigDomainIndex = 3,
-- Protection domain name
mplsLpsConfigDomainName = "LPDomain3",
mplsLpsConfigMode = psc(1),
mplsLpsConfigProtectionType = oneColonOneBidirectional(2),
-- Mandatory parameters needed to activate the row go here
mplsLpsConfigRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}
The following table associates the MEs with the protection domain.
In the mplsLpsMeConfigTable:
MplsLpsMeConfigEntry ::= SEQUENCE
{
-- MEG index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMegIndex = 1,
-- ME index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMeIndex = 1,
-- Maintenance Point (MP) index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMeMpIndex = 1,
-- Protection domain this ME belongs to
mplsLpsMeConfigDomain = 3,
-- Configuration state
mplsLpsMeConfigPath = working(1)
}
{
-- MEG index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMegIndex = 2,
-- ME index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMeIndex = 2,
-- MP index (index to the table)
mplsOamIdMeMpIndex = 2,
-- Protection domain this ME belongs to
mplsLpsMeConfigDomain = 3,
-- Configuration state
mplsLpsMeConfigPath = protection(2)
}

DESCRIPTION
"The protection architecture type of the protection domain.
This object represents both the bridge type, which can be
either a permanent bridge (1+1) or a selector bridge (1:1);
and the switching scheme, which can be either unidirectional
or bidirectional.
1+1
In the 1+1 protection scheme, a fully dedicated protection
path is allocated. Data traffic is copied and fed at the
source to both the working path and the protection path.
The traffic on the working path and protection path is
transmitted simultaneously to the sink of the protection
domain, where selection between the working path and the
protection path is performed.
1:1
In the 1:1 protection scheme, a protection path is allocated
to protect against a defect, failure, or degradation on the
working path. In normal conditions, data traffic is
transmitted over the working path, while the protection path
functions in the idle state. If there is a defect on the
working path or a specific administrative request,
traffic is switched to the protection path.
bidirectional
In the bidirectional protection scheme, both directions
will be switched simultaneously even if the fault applies
to only one direction of the path.
unidirectional
In the unidirectional protection scheme, protection switching
will be performed independently for each direction of a
bidirectional transport path.
This object may not be modified if the associated
mplsLpsConfigRowStatus object is equal to active(1)."

DESCRIPTION
"This object represents the reversion mode of the linear

mechanism may be either revertive or non-revertive.
nonrevertive
In the non-revertive mode, after a service has been recovered,
traffic will be forwarded on the protection path.
revertive
In the revertive mode, after a service has been recovered,
traffic will be redirected back onto the original working
path.

DESCRIPTION
"This object holds the threshold value of the Signal Degrade

If either the packet loss is negative (i.e., there are more
packets received than transmitted) or the packet loss ratio
(lost packets/transmitted packets) in percent is greater than
this threshold value, a Bad Second is declared.
Otherwise, a Good Second is declared.

9. Security Considerations
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 opens devices to attack. These
are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
o The mplsLpsConfigTable is used to configure MPLS-TP linear
protection domains. Improper manipulation of the objects in this
table may result in different behaviors than what network
operators originally intended, such as delaying traffic switching
or causing a race condition with server-layer protection after
network failure (mplsLpsConfigHoldOff), delaying or speeding up
reversion after recovering from network failure
(mplsLpsConfigWaitToRestore), unexpected traffic switching
(mplsLpsConfigCommand), or the discontinuance of the operation of
a protection switching control process (mplsLpsConfigMode,
mplsLpsConfigProtectionType).
o The mplsLpsMeConfigTable is used to assign each ME to either the
working path or the protection path. Improper manipulation of
this object may result in the discontinuance of the operation of a
protection switching control process.
o The notification is controlled by the mplsLpsNotificationEnable
object. In the case of the discontinuance of a protection
switching control process, network operators may not be notified
if the mplsLpsNotificationEnable object is compromised.
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 mplsLpsStatusTable and the mplsLpsMeStatusTable collectively
show the history and current status of the MPLS-TP linear
protection domains. They can be used to estimate the performance
and qualities of networks configured to use MPLS-TP linear
protection. If an administrator does not want to reveal this
information, then these tables should be considered
sensitive/vulnerable.
Kingston Smiler, et al. Standards Track [Page 43]
RFC 8150 MPLS-TP Linear Protection MIB April 2017
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
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.
Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming
compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
[RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353].
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. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned an OID of decimal 22 for the MPLS Linear Protection
MIB module (MPLS-LPS-MIB) specified in this document in the "MIB
Transmission Group - MPLS STD MIB" subregistry of the
"Internet-standard MIB - Transmission Group" registry.
