This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) [RFC3031] Label Switching Router (LSR). 🌈
Comments should be made directly to the MPLS mailing list at mpls@uu.net. 📬
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119, reference [RFC2119]. 🫶
2. Terminology 🎀
This document uses terminology from the document describing the MPLS architecture [RFC3031]. A label switched path (LSP) is modeled as a connection made of one or more incoming segments (in-segments) and/or one or more outgoing segments (out-segments) at a LSR. The in-segments and out-segments get linked together with a cross-connect. We use the terminology "connection" and "LSP" interchangeably wherever the meaning is clear from the context. 🦋
in-segment This is analogous to an MPLS label.
out-segment This is analogous to an MPLS label.
cross-connect This describes the conceptual connection
between a set of in-segments and out-segments.
Note that either set may be 0; that is, a
cross-connect may connect only out-segments
together with no in-segments in the case
where an LSP is originating on an LSR.3. The SNMP Management Framework 🧚
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, check out section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. 📚
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, called 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]. 💅
4. Outline 🌸
Configuring LSPs through an LSR involves the following steps: 📝
- Enabling MPLS on MPLS capable interfaces.
- Configuring in-segments and out-segments.
- Setting up the cross-connect table to associate segments and/or to indicate connection origination and termination.
- Optionally specifying label stack actions.
- Optionally specifying segment traffic parameters.
4.1. Summary of LSR MIB Module ✨
The MIB objects for performing these actions consist of the following tables:
- The interface table (mplsInterfaceTable), which is used for revealing the MPLS protocol on MPLS-capable interfaces.
- The in-segment (mplsInSegmentTable) and out-segment (mplsOutSegmentTable) tables, which are used for configuring LSP segments at an LSR.
- The cross-connect table (mplsXCTable), which is used to associate in and out segments together, in order to form a cross-connect.
- The label stack table (mplsLabelStackTable), which is used for specifying label stack operations.
Further, the MPLS in-segment and out-segment performance tables, mplsInSegmentPerfTable and mplsOutSegmentPerfTable, contain the objects necessary to measure the performance of LSPs, and mplsInterfacePerfTable has objects to measure MPLS performance on a per-interface basis. 📊
These tables are described in the subsequent sections. 👑
5. Brief Description of MIB Module Objects 💜
Sections 5.1-5.2 describe objects pertaining to MPLS-capable interfaces of an LSR. The objects described in Sections 5.3-5.8, were derived from the Incoming Label Map (ILM) and Next Hop Label Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) as specified in the MPLS architecture document [RFC3031]. It's worth noting that the in-segment, out-segment, and cross-connect tables were modeled after similar tables found in [RFC2515]. 🔥
5.1. mplsInterfaceTable 🌈
This table represents the interfaces that are MPLS capable. An LSR creates an entry in this table for every MPLS capable interface on that LSR. 🦋
5.2. mplsInterfacePerfTable 📈
This table contains objects to measure the MPLS performance of MPLS capable interfaces and is an AUGMENT to mplsInterfaceTable. 🧚
5.3. mplsInSegmentTable 🍓
This table contains a description of the incoming MPLS segments to an LSR and their associated parameters. The index for this table is mplsInSegmentIndex. The index structure of this table is specifically designed to handle many different MPLS implementations that manage their labels both in a distributed and centralized manner. 🎀
The table is designed to handle existing MPLS labels as well as future label strategies that may require labels longer than the ones defined in RFC3031. In these cases, the object mplsInSegmentLabelPtr may be used to indicate the first accessible object in a separate table that can be used to represent the label, because it is too long to be represented in a single 32-bit value (mplsInSegmentLabel). 🌸
5.4. mplsInSegmentPerfTable 📊
The MPLS in-Segment Performance Table has objects to measure the performance of an incoming segment configured on an LSR. It is an AUGMENT to mplsInSegmentTable. High capacity counters are provided for objects that are likely to wrap around quickly on high-speed interfaces. 💨
5.5. mplsOutSegmentTable 💌
The out-Segment Table contains a description of the outgoing MPLS segments at an LSR and their associated parameters. 🦋
5.6. mplsOutSegmentPerfTable 📈
The MPLS out-Segment Table contains objects to measure the performance of an outgoing segment configured on an LSR. It is an AUGMENT to mplsOutSegmentTable. High capacity counters are provided for objects that are likely to wrap around quickly on high-speed interfaces. ⭐
5.7. mplsXCTable 🔗
The mplsXCTable specifies information for associating segments together in order to instruct the LSR to switch between the specified segments. It supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point connections. 🧩
The operational status object indicates the packet forwarding state of a cross-connect entry. For example, when the operational status object is 'down', it indicates that the specified cross-connect entry will not forward packets. Likewise, when it is set to 'up', it indicates that packets will be forwarded. 🙈
The administrative status object indicates the forwarding state desired by the operator. 🎛️
5.8. mplsLabelStackTable 🏷️
The mplsLabelStackTable specifies the label stack to be pushed onto a packet, beneath the top label. Entries to this table are referred to from mplsXCTable. 🥞
5.9 mplsInSegmentMapTable 🗺️
The mplsInSegmentMapTable specifies the mapping from the mplsInSegmentIndex to the corresponding mplsInSegmentInterface and mplsInSegmentLabel objects. The purpose of this table is to give the manager an alternative way to locate in-segments. For instance, this table can be useful when tracing LSPs from LSR to LSR by first following the in-segment to out-segment, retrieving the outgoing label and out-going interface, and then interrogating this table at the next-hop LSR to continue the trace. 🕵️♀️💖
6. Use of 32-bit and 64-bit Counters ✨
okay so 64-bit counters are in this MIB module for the high speed interfaces, where 32-bit counters might be impractical 🚀 the rules for 32-bit and 64-bit counters are copied word for word from [RFC2863] (no cap, it's the source of truth 💅)
for interfaces running at 20,000,000 (20 million) bits per second or less, 32-bit byte and packet counters MUST be supported 🎀 for interfaces faster than 20,000,000 bits/second but slower than 650,000,000 bits/second, 32-bit packet counters MUST be supported AND 64-bit octet counters MUST be supported 🌸 and for interfaces at 650,000,000 bits/second or faster, 64-bit packet counters AND 64-bit octet counters MUST be supported 👑
7. Example of LSP Setup 🧚
this section is a quick example of setting up an LSP with this MIB module's objects ✨ it's not going to cover every single nuance of the MIB module, but it helps you get the key concepts. read it after you've gone through the MIB module itself, bestie 🫶
say you want to manually create a best-effort, unidirectional LSP 💖 the LSP enters the LSR through MPLS interface A (ifIndex 12) and exits through MPLS interface B (ifIndex 13) 🦋 we're also not adding any extra label stack under the top label on the outgoing labeled packets 🌈 the example shows which rows and objects you'd create. only the objects that show how the tables relate to each other are shown here. other objects might be needed before the conceptual row can be activated 💅
the RowStatus values in this section are the ones you'd use in the set request, usually createAndGo(4), which creates the conceptual row and sets its status straight to active ⭐ heads up: using createAndGo(4) properly means you have to specify every column that doesn't have a DEFVAL, or the SET won't succeed 😭 the example skips those to stay short, but every one of those fields has to be sent during a real SET operation 🙈 a later retrieval on that row will show a different value, like active(1). for the full scoop on RowStatus, see [RFC2579] 🔥
first, we create a cross-connect entry that links the segments together 💜
In mplsXCTable:
{
mplsXCIndex = 0x02,
mplsXCInSegmentIndex = 0x00000015,
mplsXCOutSegmentIndex = 0x01,
mplsXCLspId = 0x0102 -- unique ID
mplsXCLabelStackIndex = 0x00, -- only a single
-- outgoing label
mplsXCRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}next, we make the in-segment and out-segment entries based on the cross-connect 🍓 some agents may want to create the in and out-segments automatically when the cross-connect gets created, so that's a possibility too 🌈
In mplsInSegmentTable:
{
mplsInSegmentIndex = 0x00000015
mplsInSegmentLabel = 21, -- incoming label
mplsInSegmentNPop = 1,
mplsInSegmentInterface = 12, -- incoming interface
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr = 0.0,
mplsInSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsInSegmentRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}In mplsOutSegmentTable:
{
mplsOutSegmentIndex = 0x01,
mplsOutSegmentInterface = 13, -- outgoing interface
mplsOutSegmentPushTopLabel = true(1),
mplsOutSegmentTopLabel = 22, -- outgoing label
-- RowPointer MUST point to the first accessible column.
mplsOutSegmentTrafficParamPtr = 0.0,
mplsOutSegmentLabelPtr = 0.0,
mplsOutSegmentRowStatus = createAndGo(4)
}and ta-da 🎉 the mplsInSegmentXCIndex and mplsOutSegmentXCIndex objects automatically get populated with the string 0x02 once these segments are referenced from the matching cross-connect entry 🦋
8. Application of the Interface Group to MPLS 🌸
so [RFC2863] defines the generic managed objects for managing interfaces, and this memo adds the media-specific extensions to the Interfaces Group for managing MPLS interfaces 💅
this memo goes with the Interfaces Group interpretation from [RFC2863], which says the interfaces table (ifTable) holds info on the managed resource's interfaces, and every sub-layer below the internetwork layer of a network interface counts as an interface ✨ so the MPLS interface shows up as an entry in the ifTable 🎀 how entries in the ifTable relate to each other is defined by the Interfaces Stack Group in [RFC2863] 🔗
when you're using MPLS interfaces, the interface stack table might look like this:
+----------------------------------------+
| MPLS interface; ifType = mpls(166) +
+----------------------------------------+
| Underlying Layer +
+----------------------------------------+in that diagram, "Underlying Layer" is the ifIndex of any interface type that has MPLS interworking defined 🧠 examples are ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet, etc. 🍓
8.1. Support of the MPLS Layer by ifTable 💖
here are some specific takes on ifTable for the MPLS layer 👑
Object Use for the MPLS layer
ifIndex Each MPLS interface is represented by an ifEntry.
ifDescr Description of the MPLS interface.
ifType The value that is allocated for MPLS is 166.
ifSpeed The total bandwidth in bits per second for use by
the MPLS layer.
ifPhysAddress Unused.
ifAdminStatus This variable indicates the administrator's intent
as to whether MPLS should be enabled, disabled, or
running in some diagnostic testing mode on this
interface. Also see [RFC2863].
ifOperStatus This value reflects the actual operational status
of MPLS on this interface.
ifLastChange See [RFC2863].
ifInOctets The number of received octets over the interface,
i.e., the number of received, octets received as
labeled packets.
ifOutOctets The number of transmitted octets over the
interface, i.e., the number of octets transmitted
as labeled packets.
ifInErrors The number of labeled packets dropped due to
uncorrectable errors.
ifInUnknownProtos
The number of received packets discarded during
packet header validation, including packets with
unrecognized label values.
ifOutErrors See [RFC2863].
ifName Textual name (unique on this system) of the
interface or an octet string of zero length.
ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable
Default is disabled (2).
ifConnectorPresent
Set to false (2).
ifHighSpeed See [RFC2863].
ifHCInOctets The 64-bit version of ifInOctets; supported if
required by the compliance statements in [RFC2863].
ifHCOutOctets The 64-bit version of ifOutOctets; supported if
required by the compliance statements in [RFC2863].
ifAlias The non-volatile 'alias' name for the interface as
specified by a network manager.
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime
See [RFC2863].9. The Use of RowPointer 🧚♀️
RowPointer is a textual convention that identifies a conceptual row in a MIB Table by pointing at the first accessible object in that row ✨ in this MIB module, the trafficParamPtr object from either the mplsInSegmentTable or mplsOutSegmentTable SHOULD indicate the first accessible column in an entry in the MplsTunnelResourceEntry in the MPLS-TE-STD-MIB [RFC3812]. that's how it shows the traffic parameter settings for this segment, if the segment represents an LSP used for a TE tunnel 🦋
the trafficParamPtr object may optionally point at an externally defined traffic parameter specification table 🌈 a value of zeroDotZero means best-effort treatment 💜 and when two or more segments have the same value for this object, they can show resource sharing of things like LSP queue space 🫶

-- TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONsokay the index textual conventions are literally giving 🧚 so let's get into the MIB bits 💖
MplsIndexType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This is an octet string that can be used as a table
index in cases where a large addressable space is
required such as on an LSR where many applications
may be provisioning labels.
Note that the string containing the single octet with
the value 0x00 is a reserved value used to represent
special cases. When this TEXTUAL-CONVENTION is used
as the SYNTAX of an object, the DESCRIPTION clause
MUST specify if this special value is valid and if so
what the special meaning is.
In systems that provide write access to the MPLS-LSR-STD
MIB, mplsIndexType SHOULD be used as a simple multi-digit
integer encoded as an octet string.
No further overloading of the meaning of an index SHOULD
be made.
In systems that do not offer write access to the MPLS-LSR-STD
MIB, the mplsIndexType may contain implicit formatting that is
specific to the implementation to convey additional
information such as interface index, physical card or
device, or application id. The interpretation of this
additional formatting is implementation dependent and
not covered in this document. Such formatting MUST
NOT impact the basic functionality of read-only access
to the MPLS-LSR-STD MIB by management applications that are
not aware of the formatting rules."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE(1..24))
MplsIndexNextType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"When a MIB module is used for configuration, an object with
this SYNTAX always contains a legal value (a non-zero-length
string) for an index that is not currently used in the relevant
table. The Command Generator (Network Management Application)
reads this variable and uses the (non-zero-length string)
value read when creating a new row with an SNMP SET.
When the SET is performed, the Command Responder (agent) must
determine whether the value is indeed still unused; Two Network
Management Applications may attempt to create a row
(configuration entry) simultaneously and use the same value. If
it is currently unused, the SET succeeds and the Command
Responder (agent) changes the value of this object, according
to an implementation-specific algorithm. If the value is in
use, however, the SET fails. The Network Management
Application must then re-read this variable to obtain a new
usable value.
Note that the string containing the single octet with
the value 0x00 is a reserved value used to represent
the special case where no additional indexes can be
provisioned, or in systems that do not offer
write access, objects defined using this TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
MUST return the string containing the single
octet with the value 0x00."

DESCRIPTION
"A conceptual row in this table is created
automatically by an LSR for every interface capable
of supporting MPLS and which is configured to do so.
A conceptual row in this table will exist if and only if
a corresponding entry in ifTable exists with ifType =
mpls(166). If this associated entry in ifTable is
operationally disabled (thus removing MPLS
capabilities on that interface), the corresponding
entry in this table MUST be deleted shortly thereafter.
An conceptual row with index 0 is created if the LSR
supports per-platform labels. This conceptual row
represents the per-platform label space and contains
parameters that apply to all interfaces that participate
in the per-platform label space. Other conceptual rows
in this table represent MPLS interfaces that may
participate in either the per-platform or per-
interface label spaces, or both. Implementations
that either only support per-platform labels,
or have only them configured, may choose to return
just the mplsInterfaceEntry of 0 and not return
the other rows. This will greatly reduce the number
of objects returned. Further information about label
space participation of an interface is provided in
the DESCRIPTION clause of

DESCRIPTION
"This table contains a description of the incoming MPLS
segments (labels) to an LSR and their associated parameters.
The index for this table is mplsInSegmentIndex.
The index structure of this table is specifically designed
to handle many different MPLS implementations that manage
their labels both in a distributed and centralized manner.
The table is also designed to handle existing MPLS labels
as defined in RFC3031 as well as longer ones that may
be necessary in the future.
In cases where the label cannot fit into the
mplsInSegmentLabel object, the mplsInSegmentLabelPtr
will indicate this by being set to the first accessible
column in the appropriate extension table's row.
In this case an additional table MUST
be provided and MUST be indexed by at least the indexes
used by this table. In all other cases when the label is
represented within the mplsInSegmentLabel object, the
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr MUST be set to 0.0. Due to the
fact that MPLS labels may not exceed 24 bits, the
mplsInSegmentLabelPtr object is only a provision for
future-proofing the MIB module. Thus, the definition
of any extension tables is beyond the scope of this
MIB module."
::= { mplsLsrObjects 4 }so the index-next object is like the "take a number" machine 🎟️ it hands out the next free index for new in-segment entries, and if the agent doesn't let managers make entries, it has to set it to that special single-octet 0x00 value 🙈
the in-segment table is the list of incoming MPLS segments (labels) to an LSR, plus their vibes 🧚 it's built to handle both distributed and centralized label management, and it's ready for longer labels in the future too, which is so forward-thinking 🔮

Special labels:
Entries indexed by the strings containing the

this LSR. Note that situations where LSPs are
terminated with incoming label equal to the string

ENDOkay, so that's the whole group lineup 🎀 Each group is a little bundle of objects with a number, and that number is how the groups get filed away in mplsLsrGroups. Cute, right? 🧚
11. Security Considerations 💀
Okay bestie, this part is SERIOUS. 😭 This MIB is super useful for keeping an eye on MPLS LSRs, but it can also be used to configure things, and anything that can be configured can be configured wrong, with potentially disastrous results. Not me imagining a network meltdown 💀
Some of the objects here have a MAX-ACCESS of read-write and/or read-create. Those are the ones that can get messy in some network setups, because SET operations without proper protection can really mess with network operations. The tables and objects, and why they're sensitive, are:
- the
mplsLsrInSegmentTable,mplsLsrOutSegmentTable,mplsXCTable,mplsOutSegmentPerfTable,mplsInterfacePerfTable, andmplsInSegmentPerfTablecollectively contain objects to provision MPLS interfaces, LSPs and their associated parameters on an Label Switching Router (LSR). Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if an LSP has been established. 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 ("i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible") may also be sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. So it's important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects, and possibly even encrypt their values when sending them over the network via SNMP. Here's the tea on which tables and objects:
- the
mplsLsrInSegmentTable,mplsLsrOutSegmentTable,mplsXCTable,mplsOutSegmentPerfTable,mplsInterfacePerfTable, andmplsInSegmentPerfTablecollectively show the LSP network topology and its performance characteristics. 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 still no control over who on that secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET ("read/change/create/delete") the objects in this MIB module. Lowkey scary, fr fr. 💀
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features 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, so that the objects are only accessible to those principals ("users") who have legitimate rights to GET or SET ("change/create/delete") them. Main character energy for the people in charge of the access list 👑

We wish to thank Ron Bonica, Adrian Farrel, Eric Gray, Tim Mancour, Keith McCloghrie, Bala Rajagopalan, Dan Tappan, Vasanthi Thirumalai, Joseph Benoit, Mike Piecuch, and Joan Cucchiara. A special thanks to Bert Wijnen and Mike MacFaden for really getting the MIB module into shape. Iconic shoutouts, all of them 💖
13. IANA Considerations 🦋
As described in [MPLSMGMT] and as requested in the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB [RFC3811], MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree. There are 4 MPLS MIB Modules contained in this document, and each of the following "IANA Considerations" subsections requests IANA for a new assignment under the mplsStdMIB subtree. New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in [RFC2434]. 📋
13.1. IANA Considerations for MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB
The IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 2 } to the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module specified in this document. 🌈
