1. Introduction

This document describes the Management Information Base (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. Specifically, the MIB for managing devices that support the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is described. LISP [RFC6830] specifies a network-based architecture and mechanisms that implement a new semantic for IP addressing using two separate name spaces: Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs), used within sites, and Routing Locators (RLOCs), used on the transit networks that make up the Internet infrastructure. To achieve this separation, LISP defines protocol mechanisms for mapping from EIDs to RLOCs. From a data-plane perspective, LISP traffic is handled exclusively at the network layer by devices performing Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) and Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) LISP functions. Data-plane operations performed by these devices are described in [RFC6830]. Additionally, data-plane interworking between legacy (Internet) and LISP sites is implemented by devices performing Proxy ITR (PITR) and Proxy ETR (PETR) functions. The data-plane operations of these devices is described in [RFC6832]. From a control-plane perspective, LISP employs mechanisms related to creating, maintaining, and resolving mappings from EIDs to RLOCs. LISP ITRs, ETRs, PITRs, and PETRs perform specific control-plane functions, and these control-plane operations are described in [RFC6830]. Additionally, LISP infrastructure devices supporting LISP control-plane functionality include Map-Servers and Map-Resolvers, and the control-plane operations of these devices are described in [RFC6833].

2. Requirements Notation

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 [RFC2119].

3. 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).
Top   ToC   RFC7052 - Page 4
   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].

5. LISP MIB Objectives

The objectives for this LISP MIB module are to provide a read-only mechanism to support the following functions: o Provide a means for obtaining (read-only) a current status of LISP features enabled on a device, and (read-only) a current status of configuration attributes related to those features. As one example, this MIB could determine the ON/OFF status of LISP features such as ITR, ETR, PITR, PETR, MS, or MR support, specifically as related to IPv4 or IPv6 address families as well as the LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) [LCAF] with IANA assigned Address Family Number 16387. Other examples could include obtaining the (read-only) status of whether RLOC-Probing is enabled, obtaining the status of whether the use of a PETR is configured, and obtaining the (read-only) values of other related attributes such as the map-cache limit value, or a mapping time- to-live (TTL) value. o Provide a means for obtaining (read-only) the current attributes of various LISP tables, such as the EID-to-RLOC policy data contained in the map-cache, or the local EID-to-RLOC policy data contained in the mapping-database. o Provide a means for obtaining (read-only) the current operational statistics of various LISP functions, such as the number of packets encapsulated and decapsulated by the device. Other counters of operational interest, depending on LISP function, include things like the current number of map-cache entries, and the total number and rate of map-requests received and sent by the device.

6. Structure of LISP MIB Module

6.1. Overview of Defined Notifications

No LISP MIB notifications are defined.

6.2. Overview of Defined Tables

The LISP MIB module is composed of the following tables of objects: lispFeatures - This table provides information representing the various lisp features that can be enabled on LISP devices. lispIidToVrf - This table provides information representing the mapping of a LISP Instance ID to a VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding).
Top   ToC   RFC7052 - Page 6
   lispGlobalStats -  This table provides global statistics for a given
      Instance ID per address family on a LISP device.

   lispMappingDatabase -  This table represents the EID-to-RLOC database
      that contains the EID-Prefix to RLOC mappings configured on an
      ETR.  In general, this table would be representative of all such
      mappings for a given site to which this device belongs.

   lispMappingDatabaseLocator -  This table represents the set of
      routing locators contained in the EID-to-RLOC database configured
      on an ETR.

   lispMapCache -  This table represents the short-lived, on-demand
      table maintained on an ITR that stores, tracks, and times-out EID-
      to-RLOC mappings.

   lispMapCacheLocator -  This table represents the set of locators per
      EID-Prefix contained in the map-cache table of an ITR.

   lispConfiguredLocator -  This table represents the set of routing
      locators configured on a LISP device.

   lispEidRegistration -  This table provides the properties of each
      EID-Prefix that is registered with this device when configured to
      be a Map-Server.

   lispEidRegistrationEtr -  This table provides the properties of the
      different ETRs that send registers, for a given EID-Prefix, to
      this device when configured to be a Map-Server.

   lispEidRegistrationLocator -  This table provides the properties of
      the different locators per EID prefix that is registered with this
      device when configured to be a Map-Server.

   lispUseMapServer -  This table provides the properties of all Map-
      Servers that this device is configured to use.

   lispUseMapResolver -  This table provides the properties of all Map-
      Resolvers that this device is configured to use.

   lispUseProxyEtr -  This table provides the properties of all Proxy
      ETRs that this device is configured to use.
