6. 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 ---------- ----------------------- isnsMIB { mib-2 163 } This RFC utilizes the IANA registry of iSNS parameters. This registry was created for the iSNS Specification [RFC4171], and is located at http://www.iana.org/assignments/isns-parameters. Specifically, the isnsRegEntityProtocol values used in the MIB module are the values for the Block Storage Protocols that IANA assigns and documents in http://www.iana.org/assignments/isns-parameters.
Top   ToC   RFC4939 - Page 76

7. Security Considerations

There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB module via direct SNMP SET operations. 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: The isnsDdsMemberTable contains information about which Discovery Domains may be enabled at the same time. The isnsDdTable contains information about Discovery Domains, containing storage nodes with an ability to communicate and exchange storage data. The isnsDdIscsiMemberTable indicates which iSCSI nodes are contained in which Discovery Domains. The isnsDdPortalMemberTable indicates which iSCSI portals are contained in which Discovery Domains. The isnsDdFcPortMemberTable indicates which iFCP FC N_Ports are contained in which Discovery Domains. The isnsControlNodeIscsiTable indicates which iSCSI nodes have the ability to possibly control an iSNS server. The isnsControlNodeFcPortTable indicates which iFCP FC N_Ports have the ability to possibly control an iSNS server. The above object tables provide information about storage objects sessions, and can indicate to a user who is communicating and exchanging storage data. 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.
Top   ToC   RFC4939 - Page 77
   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.
