7. Acknowledgments

This MIB builds on all the work that has gone into the Informal Management Model for Differentiated Services Routers, Differentiated Services PIB, and Differentiated Services Policy MIB (SNMPCONF WG). It has been developed with the active involvement of many people, but most notably Yoram Bernet, Steve Blake, Brian Carpenter, Dave Durham, Michael Fine, Victor Firoiu, Jeremy Greene, Dan Grossman, Roch Guerin, Scott Hahn, Joel Halpern, Van Jacobsen, Keith McCloghrie, Bob Moore, Kathleen Nichols, Ping Pan, Nabil Seddigh, John Seligson, and Walter Weiss. Juergen Schoenwaelder, Dave Perkins, Frank Strauss, Harrie Hazewinkel, and Bert Wijnen are especially to be noted for review comments on the structure and usage of the MIB for network management purposes, and its compliance with SMIv2.

8. Security Considerations

It is clear that this MIB is potentially useful for configuration. Anything that can be configured can be misconfigured, with potentially disastrous effects. At this writing, no security holes have been identified beyond those that SNMP Security is itself intended to address. These relate primarily to controlled access to sensitive information and the ability to configure a device - or which might result from operator error, which is beyond the scope of any security architecture. There are many read-write and read-create management objects defined in this MIB. Such objects are often 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. The use of SNMP Version 3 is recommended over prior versions for configuration control as its security model is improved. There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain information that may be sensitive from a business perspective, in that they may represent a customer's service contract or the filters that the service provider chooses to apply to a customer's ingress or egress traffic. There are no objects which are sensitive in their own right, such as passwords or monetary amounts.
Top   ToC   RFC3289 - Page 111
   It may be important to even control GET access to these objects and
   possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending
   them over the network via SNMP.  Not all versions of SNMP provide
   features for such a secure environment.

   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 implementors consider the security
   features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework.  Specifically, the use
   of the User-based Security Model [RFC 2574] and the View-based Access
   Control Model [RFC 2575] 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.
