9. Security Considerations
There are a 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 opens devices to attack. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: o The mplsLpsConfigTable is used to configure MPLS-TP linear protection domains. Improper manipulation of the objects in this table may result in different behaviors than what network operators originally intended, such as delaying traffic switching or causing a race condition with server-layer protection after network failure (mplsLpsConfigHoldOff), delaying or speeding up reversion after recovering from network failure (mplsLpsConfigWaitToRestore), unexpected traffic switching (mplsLpsConfigCommand), or the discontinuance of the operation of a protection switching control process (mplsLpsConfigMode, mplsLpsConfigProtectionType). o The mplsLpsMeConfigTable is used to assign each ME to either the working path or the protection path. Improper manipulation of this object may result in the discontinuance of the operation of a protection switching control process. o The notification is controlled by the mplsLpsNotificationEnable object. In the case of the discontinuance of a protection switching control process, network operators may not be notified if the mplsLpsNotificationEnable object is compromised. 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 mplsLpsStatusTable and the mplsLpsMeStatusTable collectively show the history and current status of the MPLS-TP linear protection domains. They can be used to estimate the performance and qualities of networks configured to use MPLS-TP linear protection. 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), 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. Implementations SHOULD provide the security features described by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410]), and implementations claiming compliance to the SNMPv3 standard MUST include full support for authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM) [RFC3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC3826]. Implementations MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM) [RFC5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH [RFC5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC6353]. 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. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned an OID of decimal 22 for the MPLS Linear Protection MIB module (MPLS-LPS-MIB) specified in this document in the "MIB Transmission Group - MPLS STD MIB" subregistry of the "Internet-standard MIB - Transmission Group" registry.
