This document describes a model for managing pseudowire services for transmission over different flavors of MPLS tunnels. The general PW MIB module [RFC5601] defines the parameters global to the PW regardless of the underlying Packet Switched Network (PSN) and emulated service. This document is applicable for PWs that use MPLS PSN type in the PW-STD-MIB. This document describes the MIB objects that define pseudowire association to the MPLS PSN, in a way that is not specific to the carried service. Together, [RFC3811] and [RFC3812] describe the modeling of an MPLS tunnel, and a tunnel's underlying cross-connects. This MIB module supports MPLS-TE PSN, non-TE MPLS PSN (an outer tunnel created by the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) or manually), and MPLS PW label only (no outer tunnel).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. Terminology
This document uses terminology from the document describing the PW architecture [RFC3985], [RFC3916], and [RFC4447]. The terms "outbound" and "inbound" in this MIB module are based on the common practice in the MPLS standards; i.e. "outbound" is toward the PSN. However, where these terms are used in an object name, the object description clarifies the exact packet direction to prevent confusion with these terms in other documents. "PSN tunnel" is a general term indicating a virtual connection between the two Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) edge devices. Each tunnel may potentially carry multiple PWs inside. An MPLS tunnel is within the scope of this document. This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS architecture [RFC3031] for MPLS PSN. A Label Switched Path (LSP) is modeled as described in [RFC3811] and [RFC3812] via a series of cross-connects through one or more Label Switching Routers (LSRs). In MPLS PSN, a PW connection typically uses a PW label within a tunnel label [RFC4447]. Multiple pseudowires each with a unique PW label can share the same tunnel. For PW transport over MPLS, the tunnel label is known as the "outer" label, while the PW label is known as the "inner" label. An exception to this is with adjacent LSRs or the use of a Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP). In this case, there is an option for PWs to connect directly without an outer label. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [BCP14].4. Overview
The MIB module structure for defining a PW service consists of three layers of MIB modules functioning together. This general model is defined in the PWE3 architecture [RFC3985]. The layering model is intended to sufficiently isolate PW services from the underlying PSN layer that carries the emulated service. This is done at the same time as providing a standard means for connecting any supported services to any supported PSNs.
The first layer, known as the service layer, contains service- specific modules. These modules define service-specific management objects that interface or collaborate with existing MIB modules for the native version of the service. The service-specific module "glues" the standard modules to the PWE3 MIB modules. The next layer of the PWE3 MIB structure is the PW MIB module [RFC5601]. This module is used to configure general parameters of PWs that are common to all types of emulated services and PSNs. This layer is connected to the service-specific layer above and the PSN layer below. The PSN layer provides PSN-specific modules for each type of PSN. These modules associate the PW with one or more "tunnels" that carry the service over the PSN. These modules are used to "glue" the PW service to the underlying PSN-specific MIB modules. This document defines the MIB module for PW over MPLS PSN. [RFC5542] defines some of the object types used in these modules.5. Features Checklist
The PW-MPLS-STD-MIB module is designed to satisfy the following requirements and constraints: - The MIB module supports both manually configured and signaled PWs. - The MIB module supports point-to-point PW connections. - The MIB module enables the use of any emulated service. - The MIB module supports MPLS-TE outer tunnel, non-TE MPLS outer tunnel (an outer tunnel signaled by LDP or set up manually), and no outer tunnel (where the PW label is the only label in the MPLS stack). The latter case is applicable for manual configuration of PW over a single hop, as for signaled MPLS PSN even across a single hop there is an MPLS tunnel -- even though the actual packet may not contain the MPLS tunnel label due to PHP. The MIB module uses Textual Conventions (TCs) from [RFC2578], [RFC2579], [RFC2580], [RFC2863], [RFC3811], [RFC3813], [RFC5542], and [RFC5601].
6. MIB Module Usage
- The PW table (pwTable) in [RFC5601] is used for all PW types (ATM, FR, Ethernet, SONET, etc.). This table contains high-level generic parameters related to the PW creation. The operator or the agent creates a row for each PW. - If the selected PSN type in the pwTable is MPLS, the agent creates a row in the MPLS-specific parameters table (pwMplsTable) in this module, which contains MPLS-specific parameters such as EXP bits handling and outer tunnel configuration. - The operator configures the association to the desired MPLS tunnel (required for MPLS-TE tunnels or for manually configured PWs) through the pwMplsTeOutboundTable. For the LDP-based outer tunnel, there is no need for manual configuration since there is only a single tunnel toward the peer. - The agent creates rows in the MPLS mapping table in order to allow quick retrieval of information based on the tunnel indexes. The relation to the MPLS network is by configuration of the edge LSR only -- i.e., the LSR that provides the PW function. Since tunnels are unidirectional, a pair of tunnels MUST exist (one for inbound, one for outbound). Figure 1 depicts a PW that originates and terminates at LSR-M. It uses tunnels A and B formed by cross- connects (XCs) Ax and Bx continuing through LSR-N to LSR-P. The concatenations of XCs create the tunnels. Note: 'X' denotes a tunnel's cross-connect.
Tunnel A <- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +---- (edge) LSR-M ---+ +--------- LSR-N ---------+ + LSR-P |---+ | | | | | | XC | | XC | | + | A1 (M<-N) +----+ +----+ A2 (M<-P) +----+ +----+ | | <------| | | |<--------------| | | | <-->| N |PWin inSeg |MPLS| |MPLS| outSeg inSeg |MPLS| |MPLS| N S | | <---X<-----| IF | | IF |<------X<------| IF | | IF | A E | S | | |<-->| | | |<-->| | | T R | | --->X----->| | | |------>X------>| | | | I V | P |PWout outSeg| | | | inSeg outSeg | | | | V I | | ------>| | | |-------------->| | | | E C + | XC +----+ +----+ XC +----+ +----+ E |---+ B1 (M->N) | | B2 (M->P) | | | | | | | +---------------------+ +-------------------------+ +----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> Tunnel B Figure 1: PW modeling over MPLS The PW-MPLS-STD-MIB supports three options for an MPLS network: (1) In the MPLS-TE case, tunnels A and B are created via the MPLS- TE-STD-MIB [RFC3812]. The tunnels are associated (in each peer independently) to the PW by the four indexes that uniquely identify the tunnel at the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB. (2) In the non-TE case, tunnels A1 and B1 are either manually configured or set up with LDP. The tunnels are associated to the PW by the XC index in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB [RFC3813]. (3) In the PW-label-only case, there is no outer tunnel on top of the PW label. This case is useful in the case of adjacent Provider Edges (PEs) in manual configuration mode. Note that for signaled tunnels, when LSR-N acts as PHP for the outer tunnel label, there are still entries for the outer tunnel in the relevant MPLS MIB modules, so even for the case of adjacent LSRs, the relevant mode is either MPLS-TE or non-TE. A combination of MPLS-TE outer tunnel(s) and LDP outer tunnel for the same PW is allowed through the pwMplsOutboundTunnel. The current tunnel that is used to forward traffic is indicated in the object pwMplsOutboundTunnelTypeInUse.
The PW-MPLS-STD-MIB module reports through the inbound table the XC entry in the LDP-STD-MIB [RFC3815] of the PW that was signaled through LDP. This MIB module assumes that a PW can be associated to one MPLS-TE tunnel at a time. This tunnel may be composed of multiple instances (i.e., LSP), each represented by a separate instance index. The selection of the active LSP out of the possible LSPs in the tunnel is out of the scope of this MIB module as it is part of the MPLS PSN functionality. The current active LSP is reported through this MIB module. It is important to note that inbound (tunnel originated in the remote PE) mapping is not configured or reported through the PW-MPLS-STD- MIB module since the local PE does not know the inbound association between specific PW and MPLS tunnels.7. PW-MPLS-STD-MIB Example
The following example (supplement the example provided in [RFC5601]) assumes that the node has already established the LDP tunnel to the peer node and that a PW has been configured in the pwTable in [RFC5601] with pwPsnType equal 'mpls'. The agent creates an entry in pwMplsTable with the following parameters: pwMplsMplsType mplsNonTe(1), -- LDP tunnel pwMplsExpBitsMode outerTunnel(1), -- Default pwMplsExpBits 0, -- Default pwMplsTtl 2, -- Default pwMplsLocalLdpID 192.0.2.200:0, pwMplsLocalLdpEntityIndex 1, pwMplsPeerLdpID 192.0.2.5:0, pwMplsStorageType nonVolatile(3) The agent also creates an entry in pwMplsOutboundTable for reporting the mapping of the PW on the LDP tunnel: pwMplsOutboundLsrXcIndex 100, - The XC number for the -- LDP tunnel pwMplsOutboundTunnelIndex 0, -- No TE tunnel pwMplsOutboundTunnelInstance 0, -- No TE tunnel pwMplsOutboundTunnelLclLSR 0, -- No TE tunnel pwMplsOutboundTunnelPeerLSR 0, -- No TE tunnel pwMplsOutboundIfIndex 0, -- Not applicable pwMplsOutboundTunnelTypeInUse mplsNonTe(3)
The agent now creates entries for the PW in the following
tables:
- pwMplsInboundTable
- pwMplsNonTeMappingTable (2 entries)
To create an MPLS-TE tunnel to carry this PW, the operator
takes the following steps:
- Set pwMplsMplsType in pwMplsTable to both mplsNonTe(1) and
mplsTe(0).
- Set pwMplsOutboundTunnelIndex, pwMplsOutboundTunnelInstance,
pwMplsOutboundTunnelLclLSR, and pwMplsOutboundTunnelPeerLSR in
pwMplsOutboundTable to the MPLS-TE tunnel that will carry this PW.
The agent will report the tunnel that the PW is currently using
through pwMplsOutboundTunnelTypeInUse, and will report the PW to
MPLS-TE tunnel/LSP mapping in pwMplsTeMappingTable.

DESCRIPTION
"A row in this table configures the outer tunnel used for

In the case of PW label only, it configures the interface
that will carry the PW traffic.
An entry in this table augments the pwMplsEntry, and is
created automatically when the corresponding row has been
created by the agent in the pwMplsEntry.
This table points to the appropriate MPLS MIB module:
In the MPLS-TE case, the three objects relevant to the
indexing of a TE tunnel head-end (as used in the
MPLS-TE-STD-MIB) are to be configured, and the tunnel
instance indicates the LSP that is currently in use for
forwarding the traffic.
In the case of signaled non-TE MPLS (an outer tunnel label
assigned by LDP), the table points to the XC entry in the
LSR-STD-MIB. If the non-TE MPLS tunnel is manually
configured, the operator configures the XC pointer to this
tunnel.
In the case of PW label only (no outer tunnel), the ifIndex
of the port to carry the PW is configured here.
It is possible to associate a PW to one TE tunnel head-end
and a non-TE tunnel together. An indication in this table
will report the currently active one. In addition, in the
TE case, the table reports the active tunnel instance
(i.e., the specific LSP in use).
Any read-write object in this table MAY be changed at any
time; however, change of some objects (for example,
MPLS-TE indexes) during PW forwarding state MAY cause traffic
disruption."

DESCRIPTION
"A row in this table displays the association
between the PW and
- its non-TE MPLS outbound outer tunnel,
- its XC entry in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB, or
- its physical interface if there is no outer tunnel
(PW label only) and manual configuration.
Rows are created in this table by the agent depending on
the setting of pwMplsMplsType:
- If the pwMplsMplsType mplsNonTe(1) bit is set, the agent
creates a row for the outbound direction
(pwMplsNonTeMappingDirection set to psnBound(1)).
The pwMplsNonTeMappingXcIndex holds the XC index in the
MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB of the PSN-bound outer tunnel.
pwMplsNonTeMappingIfIndex MUST be zero for this row.
- If the pwMplsMplsType pwOnly(2) bit is set, the agent
creates a row for the outbound direction
(pwMplsNonTeMappingDirection set to psnBound(1)).
The pwMplsNonTeMappingIfIndex holds the ifIndex of the
physical port this PW will use in the outbound direction.
pwMplsNonTeMappingXcIndex MUST be zero for this row.
- If the PW has been set up by a signaling protocol (i.e.,
pwOwner equal pwIdFecSignaling(2) or
genFecSignaling(3)), the agent creates a row for the
inbound direction (pwMplsNonTeMappingDirection set to
fromPsn(2)).
The pwMplsNonTeMappingXcIndex holds the XC index in the
MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB of the PW LDP-generated XC entry.
pwMplsNonTeMappingIfIndex MUST be zero for this row.
An application can use this table to quickly retrieve the
PW carried over specific non-TE MPLS outer tunnel or
physical interface.

9. Security Considerations
It is clear that this MIB module is potentially useful for monitoring PW-capable PEs. This MIB module can also be used for configuration of certain objects, and anything that can be configured can be incorrectly configured, with potentially disastrous results. There are 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 the pwMplsTable, pwMplsNonTeMappingTable and pwMplsTeMappingTable collectively contain objects to provision PW over MPLS tunnels. Unauthorized access to objects in these tables, could result in disruption of traffic on the network. The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be used with any v3 agent which implements this MIB module. Administrators should consider whether read access to these objects should be allowed, since read access may be undesirable under certain circumstances. 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 pwMplsTable, pwMplsNonTeMappingTable, pwMplsTeMappingTable and pwMplsOutboundTable collectively show the PW over MPLS association. If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should be considered sensitive/ vulnerable. 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.10.
