5. Security Considerations

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. 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. The specific objects and their sensitivities/vulnerabilities are as follows. Setting the following objects to incorrect values may result in traffic interruptions: dsx1LineType dsx1LineCoding dsx1SendCode dsx1LoopbackConfig dsx1SignalMode dsx1TransmitClockSource dsx1Fdl dsx1LineLength dsx1Channelization dsx1LineMode dsx1LineBuildOut dsx1LineImpedance In the case of dsx1LineType, for example, both ends of a DS1/E1 must have the same value in order for traffic to flow. In the case of dsx1SendCode and dsx1LoopbackConfig, for another example, traffic may stop transmitting when particular loopbacks are applied. Setting the following object to an incorrect value will not harm the traffic, but it may cause a circuit to be misidentified and thereby create difficulties for service personnel when attempting to troubleshoot a problem: dsx1CircuitIdentifier Setting the following object can cause an increase in the number of traps received by the network management station: dsx1LineStatusChangeTrapEnable The readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., the objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive in some environments since, collectively, they provide extensive information about the performance of interfaces in DS1/J1/E1/DS2/E2 equipment or networks and can reveal some aspects of their
Top   ToC   RFC4805 - Page 84
   configuration.  In such environments, it is important to control even
   GET and NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to encrypt the
   values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP.

   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.

Appendix A - Use of dsx1IfIndex and dsx1LineIndex

This appendix exists to document the previous use of dsx1IfIndex and dsx1LineIndex and to clarify the relationship of dsx1LineIndex as defined in RFC 1406 with the dsx1LineIndex as defined in this document. The following shows the old and new definitions and the relationship: [New Definition]: "This object should be made equal to ifIndex. The next paragraph describes its previous usage. Making the object equal to ifIndex allows proper use of ifStackTable and ds0/ds0bundle mibs. [Old Definition]: "This object is the identifier of a DS1 Interface on a managed device. If there is an ifEntry that is directly associated with this and only this DS1 interface, it should have the same value as ifIndex. Otherwise, number the dsx1LineIndices with an unique identifier following the rules of choosing a number that is greater than ifNumber and numbering the inside interfaces (e.g., equipment side) with even numbers and outside interfaces (e.g., network side) with odd numbers." When the "Old Definition" was created, it was described this way to allow a manager to treat the value as if it were an ifIndex; i.e., the value would be either: 1) an ifIndex value or 2) a value that was guaranteed to be different from all valid ifIndex values. The new definition is a subset of that definition; i.e., the value is always an ifIndex value. The following is Section 3.1 from RFC 1406: Different physical configurations for the support of SNMP with DS1 equipment exist. To accommodate these scenarios, two different indices for DS1 interfaces are introduced in this MIB. These indices are dsx1IfIndex and dsx1LineIndex. External interface scenario: the SNMP Agent represents all managed DS1 lines as external interfaces (for example, an Agent residing on the device supporting DS1 interfaces directly): For this scenario, all interfaces are assigned an integer value equal to ifIndex, and the following applies: ifIndex=dsx1IfIndex=dsx1LineIndex for all interfaces.
Top   ToC   RFC4805 - Page 89
      The dsx1IfIndex column of the DS1 Configuration table relates each
      DS1 interface to its corresponding interface (ifIndex) in the
      Internet-standard MIB (MIB-II STD 17, RFC 1213) [RFC1213].

      External & Internal interface scenario: the SNMP Agents resides on
      a host external from the device supporting DS1 interfaces (e.g., a
      router).  The Agent represents both the host and the DS1 device.
      The index dsx1LineIndex is used to not only represent the DS1
      interfaces external from the host/DS1-device combination, but also
      the DS1 interfaces connecting the host and the DS1 device.  The
      index dsx1IfIndex is always equal to ifIndex.

      Example:

      A shelf full of CSUs connected to a router.  An SNMP Agent
      residing on the router proxies for itself and the CSU.  The router
      has also an Ethernet interface:

      |     |     |
      |     +-----+

      The assignment of the index values could for example be:

           ifIndex (= dsx1IfIndex)                     dsx1LineIndex
                   1                   NA                  NA (Ethernet)
                   2      Line#A   Router Side             6
                   2      Line#A   Network Side            7
                   3      Line#B   Router Side             8
                   3      Line#B   Network Side            9
                   4      Line#C   Router Side            10
                   4      Line#C   Network Side           11
                   5      Line#D   Router Side            12
                   5      Line#D   Network Side           13
Top   ToC   RFC4805 - Page 90
      For this example, ifNumber is equal to 5.  Note the following
      description of dsx1LineIndex:  the dsx1LineIndex identifies a DS1
      Interface on a managed device.  If there is an ifEntry that is
      directly associated with this and only this DS1 interface, it
      should have the same value as ifIndex.  Otherwise, number the
      dsx1LineIndices with an unique identifier following the rules of
      choosing a number greater than ifNumber and numbering inside
      interfaces (e.g., equipment side) with even numbers and outside
      interfaces (e.g., network side) with odd numbers.

      If the CSU shelf is managed by itself by a local SNMP Agent, the
      situation would be:

           ifIndex (= dsx1IfIndex)                      dsx1LineIndex
                   1      Line#A     Network Side            1
                   2      Line#A     RouterSide              2
                   3      Line#B     Network Side            3
                   4      Line#B     RouterSide              4
                   5      Line#C     Network Side            5
                   6      Line#C     Router Side             6
                   7      Line#D     Network Side            7
                   8      Line#D     Router Side             8

Appendix B - The Delay Approach to Unavailable Seconds

This procedure is illustrated below for a DS1 ESF interface. Similar rules would apply for other DS1, DS2, and E1 interface variants. The procedure guarantees that the statistical counters are correctly updated at all times, although they lag real time by 10 seconds. At the end of each 15-minute interval, the current interval counts are transferred to the most recent interval entry and each interval is shifted up by one position, with the oldest being discarded if necessary in order to make room. The current interval counts then start over from zero. Note, however, that the signal state calculation does not start afresh at each interval boundary; rather, signal state information is retained across interval boundaries.

   Note that if such a procedure is adopted, there is no current
   interval data for the first 10 seconds after a system comes up.
   noSuchInstance must be returned if a management station attempts to
   access the current interval counters during this time.

   It is an implementation-specific matter whether an agent assumes that
   the initial state of the interface is available or unavailable.

(5) Reference was added to Circuit Identifier object. (6) Align the DESCRIPTION clauses of few statistic objects with the near-end definition, with the far-end definition, and with [RFC3593]. (7) Changes in Compliance Statements to include new objects. (8) A typographical error in dsx2E2 was fixed; new name is dsx1E2.

C.3. Changes from RFC 1406

The changes from RFC 1406 [RFC1406] are the following: (1) The Fractional table has been deprecated. (2) This document uses SMIv2. (3) Usage is given for ifTable and ifXTable. (4) Example usage of ifStackTable is included. (5) dsx1IfIndex has been deprecated. (6) Support for DS2 and E2 has been added. (7) Additional lineTypes for DS2, E2, and unframed E1 were added.
