1. Introduction โœจ

okay so this doc defines 4 MIB Modules that together handle configuring and monitoring the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) ๐ŸŽ€ LDP [RFC3036] is one flavour of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocols, and you can read about those in [RFC3031] and [RFC3032] ๐Ÿงš With all 4 MIB Modules, an operator can configure LDP sessions over 3 different Layer 2 media: Ethernet, ATM and Frame Relay, as described in [RFC3036], [RFC3034] and [RFC3035] ๐Ÿ’–

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 [RFC2119] ๐Ÿ”ฅ These are the words that matter, so pay attention bestie ๐Ÿ‘‘

For an intro to MPLS concepts, see [RFC3031] ๐ŸŒˆ And if you want more on LDP, go check out [RFC3037] and [RFC3215] ๐Ÿฆ‹

2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework ๐ŸŒธ

For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, check section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410] ๐Ÿ’…

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, called the Management Information Base or MIB ๐Ÿงš MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ๐Ÿซถ Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) โœจ 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] ๐Ÿ’œ

3. Structure of the MIB Modules ๐ŸŽ€

This section describes the structure of the LDP MIB Modules ๐Ÿฆ‹

3.1. Overview ๐ŸŒˆ

There are 4 MIB Modules in this document: the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB, the MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB, the MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB and the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB ๐Ÿ’– The MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB defines objects which are common to all LDP implementations ๐Ÿ”ฅ The MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB defines Layer 2 Per Platform Label Space objects for use with the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB ๐ŸŒธ The MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB defines Layer 2 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) objects for use with the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB ๐Ÿงš And the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB defines Layer 2 FRAME-RELAY objects for use with the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB ๐Ÿ’…

ngl this part is the big rule-set so read closely ๐Ÿ™ˆ The MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB Module MUST be implemented, and at least one of the Layer 2 MIB Modules MUST be implemented by an Agent developer on a Label Switching Router (LSR) or Label Edge Router (LER) ๐Ÿ”ฅ For example, if an LSR or LER implementation intends to support LDP over a Layer 2 of Ethernet, then the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB and the MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB Modules MUST be implemented ๐Ÿ’€ If an LSR/LER implementation intends to support LDP over a Layer 2 of ATM, then the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB Module and the MPLS-LDP-ATM-MIB Module MUST be implemented ๐Ÿ˜ญ If an LSR/LER implementation intends to support LDP over a Layer 2 of FRAME-RELAY, then the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB Module and the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB Module MUST be implemented ๐ŸŽ€ And an LDP implementation that uses all three Layer 2 media (Ethernet, Frame-Relay, ATM) MUST support all 4 MIB Modules ๐Ÿ‘‘ Each of the Modules gets discussed in detail in the following sections ๐Ÿซถ

There are 2 compliance statements for each MIB Module ๐ŸŒˆ One is for full compliance, which allows both configuration and monitoring via SNMP ๐Ÿ’– The other is for read-only compliance, which allows only monitoring via SNMP ๐Ÿฆ‹

3.2. Future Considerations ๐Ÿงš

The LDP Specification [RFC3036] does not specify the use of VPNs or multicast for LDP, so objects related to these areas have not been included ๐Ÿ™ˆ

[RFC2684] does not describe VP merge capability, so this feature has not been included ๐Ÿ’…

These areas need to be specified in the LDP Specification or other specifications before being added in this or any other MIB document ๐ŸŒธ

3.3. Interface Indexing ๐ŸŽ€

Interface Indexes as specified in [RFC2863] are used in these MIB Modules ๐ŸŒˆ The descriptions of the ifIndexes say which ifIndex is being used ๐Ÿ’œ The use of ifIndex is for actual existing connections ๐Ÿฆ‹

3.4. Differences from the LDP Specification โœจ

Currently, there are 3 differences between this specification and the LDP Specification ๐Ÿ”ฅ As mentioned in the Introduction, this document is almost entirely based on the LDP specification, and the differences are documented here ๐Ÿซถ

The first difference is that the LDP Entity Table contains some DEFVAL clauses which are not explicitly specified in the LDP Specification ๐Ÿ’– These values, even though they're not documented in the LDP Specification, are widely used by existing LDP MIB implementations, so they've been adopted within this MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB module ๐ŸŒธ Please note they can certainly be changed during row creation or a subsequent SET request ๐Ÿ’…

The second difference is the mplsLdpEntityGenericLRTable in the MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB Module ๐Ÿงš This table lets you reserve a range of generic labels, but it does not exist in the LDP Specification ๐Ÿ˜ญ It was added to the MIB because of a request from the working group, and because the table was considered useful for reserving a range of generic labels ๐ŸŽ€

The third difference is documented by the TEXTUAL-CONVENTION MplsAtmVcIdentifier, which is in the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB [RFC3811] ๐Ÿ‘‘ This TC was added to restrict vci values to be greater than 31, as described in RFC 3035 [RFC3035] ๐Ÿ”ฅ

3.5. The MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB Module ๐Ÿ’œ

This MIB Module contains objects which are common to all LDP implementations ๐ŸŒˆ This MIB Module MUST always be implemented along with one or more of the Layer 2 MIB Modules ๐Ÿ’– It IMPORTS IndexInteger and IndexIntegerNextFree TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONs from [RFC3289], and IMPORTS InetAddressPrefixLength, InetAddressType, InetAddressInetPortNumber TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONs from [RFC3291] ๐Ÿฆ‹

The mplsLdpEntityTable table lets a Label Edge Router (LER) or a Label Switching Router (LSR) initiate and/or receive requests to establish LDP sessions ๐Ÿงš Since the LDP protocol distributes labels and establishes sessions with Peers, most of the tables in this module are populated by the agent as instructed by the LDP protocol ๐Ÿซถ The exception is the mplsFecTable and the mplsLdpLspFecTable, which can be configured by the operator to specify Forwarding Equivalence Class information for an LSP ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Some scalars and each table in the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB Module are described in the following subsections ๐ŸŽ€


okay that's part 1 of 18 bestie, so stay tuned for the next drop ๐Ÿ’…โœจ

3.5.1. LDP Scalar Objects โœจ

okay so the LDP MIB has a bunch of scalar objects ๐Ÿ’… first up is mplsLdpLsrId, a read-only one that reports the Label Switching Router's (LSR's) Identifier ๐Ÿชช This MUST be a globally unique value, such as the 32-bit router ID assigned to the LSR. no cap, that's a hard rule ๐Ÿ”ฅ

mplsLdpLsrLoopDetectionCapable tells you whether the LSR can do loop detection and, if it can, which form ๐ŸŒ€

then there are two LastChange scalars, mplsLdpEntityLastChange and mplsLdpPeerLastChange ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ they give you a hint about whether the number of entries in a table changed, or whether any values in those tables changed. check each object's description for the deets ๐Ÿ’–

mplsLdpEntityIndexNext gets its own section up next ๐Ÿงš

3.5.2. The LDP Entity Table ๐ŸŽ€

The MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB gives you objects to configure and set up potential LDP sessions on a specific LSR/LER ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ the mplsLdpEntityTable is where the info LDP uses to set up potential LDP Sessions lives ๐Ÿฆ‹

each entry (row) in this table is one LDP Entity ๐ŸŒธ there's no maximum number of LDP Entities specified, but the command generator should retrieve mplsLdpEntityIndexNext before creating an LDP Entity ๐Ÿ™ˆ if mplsLdpEntityIndexNext is zero, that means the LSR/LER can't make another LDP Entity right now ๐Ÿ˜ญ

3.5.2.1. Changing Values After Session Establishment ๐Ÿ’œ

one way to tweak a session's params is with SNMP, by changing the MIB objects tied to that session ๐Ÿ“ but be extra careful if you're touching MIB objects used in MPLS LDP Session Initialization โš ๏ธ if you change any of those after session initialization has started, the whole session has to be halted, and anything that session learned must be discarded ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ then you modify the objects and start session initialization again. assuming you configured everything right, a brand new session gets created โœจ

for example ๐Ÿ‘€ say an operator wants to change the configuration of a Label Range used by a session that's already up. they should set mplsLdpEntityAdminStatus to "disable(2)". doing that tears the session down (it tells LDP to send tear down messages for that session) ๐Ÿ’€ the Agent should also remove all info related to that session from this MIB, including the Peer info (the relevant row in the mplsPeerTable) and the Session stats (the relevant row in the mplsLdpSessionTable) ๐Ÿงน also, if the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module [RFC3813] is implemented and the optional Mapping Table objects are implemented, all info about the LSPs in that session should be removed from those MIB modules too. [For more information please see the section on "The Mapping Tables".] ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ now the operator can change the Label Range ๐ŸŽ‰ last step: set mplsLdpEntityAdminStatus to "enable(1)". session initialization kicks off, so the LDP Entity can go through Session Initialization to tell the Peer about the new Label Ranges and set up new LSPs ๐ŸŒˆ

3.5.3. The LDP Entity Statistics Table ๐Ÿ“Š

The mplsLpdEntityStatsTable is a read-only table with stats about failed attempts to establish sessions ๐Ÿ˜ค each row in this table AUGMENTS an mplsLdpEntityEntry. it can help you figure out how to reconfigure stuff so a session actually comes up โœจ for instance, if the mplsLdpEntityStatsSessionRejectedLRErrors Counter object keeps going up, that means the Label Range (LR) may need adjusting ๐Ÿ”ง

3.5.4. The LDP Peer Table ๐Ÿซถ

The mplsLdpPeerTable is read-only and holds info about LDP Peers known to LDP Entities ๐Ÿ‘ฏ peer info is learned by LDP through initialization or discovery ๐Ÿ” this table should be populated by the agent as directed by the LDP protocol.

A row here relates to one or more rows in the Hello Adjacency Table and to a single row in the Session Table ๐Ÿงฉ the Peer table values are specific to a Peer and might or might not match the values used in the session, because the Peer and Entity negotiate some values together ๐Ÿค the Entity's values are configured in the mplsLdpEntityTable, and the Peer's values are learned and placed into the mplsLdpPeerTable. the mplsLdpSessionTable shows the values actually used to establish the session ๐Ÿ’…

one example where they can differ is the Peer's Path Limit info ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ that's learned during the session initialization phase, and the actual Path Vector Limit value is the Peer's, so it might not match what shows up in the session. if the Entity and Peer don't match on it, the session uses the Path Limit set by the Entity (not the Peer's) ๐Ÿ™Œ

the Peer Table info got its own table, separate from the Session info, so the MIB model could be more comprehensive and coherent ๐Ÿง 

3.5.5. The LDP Session Table ๐ŸŽฌ

mplsLdpSessionTable is read-only ๐Ÿ“– each entry is a single session between an LDP Entity and a Peer. mplsLdpSessionEntry AUGMENTS the mplsLdpPeerEntry.

the info here is learned during session establishment ๐ŸŒฑ NOTE: rows in this table will show up during session initialization.

3.5.6. The LDP Session Statistics Table ๐Ÿ“ˆ

mplsLdpSessionStatsTable is read-only and has stats on sessions ๐Ÿ“Š this table AUGMENTS the mplsLdpPeerTable.

3.5.7. The LDP Hello Adjacency Table ๐Ÿ‘‹

This is a table of all adjacencies between all LDP Entities and all LDP Peers ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ a Session may have one or more adjacencies. a session should not have zero adjacencies, because that means it has lost contact with the Peer ๐Ÿ˜ฑ a session with zero Hello Adjacencies should be removed ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

3.5.8. The LDP LSP Tables ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ

The Label Information Base (LIB) holds info about labels the LSR learned ๐Ÿท๏ธ the LIB for LDP, CR-LDP and MPLS-RSVP (aka all currently defined MPLS protocols) is represented in the LSR MIB [RFC3813]. The LIB is shown by the LSR MIB's mplsXCTable (mpls Cross Connect Table), mplsInSegmentTable (mpls In Segment Table) and mplsOutSegmentTable (mpls Out Segment Table). mplsXCTable models the cross-connection of an incoming label with a specific outgoing label. mplsInSegmentTable stores the incoming label's info, and mplsOutSegmentTable stores the outgoing label's info ๐Ÿ’ซ

The LDP Session that created the LSP, plus the LSP's (incoming label, outgoing label) pair and other info, lives in the MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB module's mplsXCTable, mplsInSegmentTable and mplsOutSegmentTable ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

To use those three tables for LDP LSPs, you need a way to link LDP sessions to the LDP LSPs made from them ๐Ÿ”— that's what mplsInSegmentLdpLspTable and mplsOutSegmentLdpLspTable in this MIB are for: they help you find the LDP LSP entries in mplsInSegmentTable, mplsOutSegmentTable and mplsXCTable ๐Ÿ”Ž

those two tables are optional in the conformance section of the MIB ๐Ÿ™ƒ they only need to be supported if the LSR MIB's mplsInSegmentTable, mplsOutSegmentTable and mplsXCTable are implemented ๐Ÿ’–

Like in "Changing Values After Session Establishment", if a session is torn down, all the info related to it must be removed from the LDP MIB and, if implemented, from the LSR MIB ๐Ÿงผ

3.5.9. The FEC Tables ๐Ÿงพ

mplsLdpFecTable contains FEC (Forwarding Equivalence Class) info, and each entry (row) is a single FEC Element ๐ŸŽ there's also an LDP LSP FEC Table, mplsLdpLspFecTable, which associates FECs with the LSPs ๐Ÿ”—

3.5.10. The LDP Session Peer Address Table ๐Ÿก

mplsLdpSessionPeerAddrTable extends the mplsLdpSessionTable โœจ it's read-only and stores Addresses learned after session initialization via Address Message advertisement ๐Ÿ“ฌ

3.6. LDP Notifications ๐Ÿ””

ok so there are several notifications that are specific to LDP, and they're described in this section ๐Ÿ“ฃ there are no objects that enable or disable them. [RFC3413] contains MIB modules you can implement to turn these notifications on or off ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ

The mplsLdpInitSessionThresholdExceeded notification tells the operator there may be a misconfigured mplsLdpEntityEntry ๐Ÿšจ because the session for this Entity isn't getting established, and the Entity keeps trying ๐Ÿ˜ฉ a side effect is that a row in the mplsLdpSessionTable may not reach the operational state shown by mplsLdpSessionState ๐Ÿ“‰ if mplsLdpEntityInitSessionThreshold is 0 (zero), that's the same as setting the threshold to infinity, so mplsLdpInitSessionThresholdExceeded will never be sent ๐Ÿ™…

The mplsLdpPathVectorLimitMismatch notification is generated when the Path Vector Limits between the Entity and Peer don't match during session initialization โš–๏ธ the session uses the value configured as the Entity's Path Vector Limit, but a notification should still be generated to say a mismatch happened ๐Ÿ“ฃ for further details, see Section 3.5.3 of the LDP Specification [RFC3036] ๐Ÿ“š

The mplsLdpSessionUp and mplsLdpSessionDown notifications are generated when there's an appropriate change in the mplsLdpSessionState object, e.g., when sessions change state (Up to Down for the mplsLdpSessionDown notification, or Down to Up for the mplsLdpSessionUp notification) ๐Ÿ”„ people talked about combining these two into one notification, but some NMS applications can use two different notifications instead of having to parse the varbind list of a single one ๐Ÿงฉ for example, some NMS apps match SessionDown to a SessionUp more easily than they can parse a Varbind list in a SessionChange type of notification ๐Ÿ’

3.7. LDP Notification Frequency ๐Ÿข

LDP Notifications are expected to be few in number when LDP is ubiquitously deployed in a relatively stable network ๐ŸŒค๏ธ a notification receiver (e.g., an NMS) that gets these should not be overwhelmed by how often they show up ๐Ÿ’ช if this assertion turns out to be inaccurate, a throttling object to throttle these notifications may be added to future versions of the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB ๐Ÿ”ฎ

             optional parameters will be sent in
             the LDP Initialization message associated
             with this Entity.

Let's go through these, bestie ๐Ÿงš

mplsLdpEntityOperStatus ๐ŸŒธ is the read-only status for an LDP Entity. It can be unknown(1), enabled(2), or disabled(3). Unknown is only supposed to be a temporary state before it flips to enabled or disabled, so don't panic if you spot it briefly ๐Ÿ™ˆ

mplsLdpEntityTcpPort ๐Ÿ’œ and mplsLdpEntityUdpDscPort ๐Ÿ’œ both default to 646, which is the well-known LDP port. Sooo iconic. The UDP one is the discovery port, and the paperwork points you to RFC3036 for the details, which is very on-brand for this whole doc ๐ŸŽ€

mplsLdpEntityMaxPduLength ๐Ÿฆ‹ is the max PDU length that gets proposed in the Common Session Parameters of an Initialization Message. Here's the tea: a value of 255 or less means the default of 4096 octets, which is why this object starts at 256. The operator should explicitly pick either 4096 or something else. Also, the receiving LSR MUST work out the session's max PDU length by taking the smaller of its own proposal and its peer's proposal. Non-negotiable, periodt ๐Ÿ‘‘

mplsLdpEntityKeepAliveHoldTimer ๐Ÿ“ is the proposed keep alive hold timer, in seconds, and it defaults to 40.

mplsLdpEntityHelloHoldTimer ๐Ÿซถ is the proposed Hello hold timer for the Common Hello Parameters TLV. This one is a whole thing ๐Ÿ’… A value of 0 means "use the default," and which default depends on mplsLdpEntityTargetPeer. For link Hellos (false), it's 15 seconds. For targeted Hellos (true), it's 45 seconds. A value of 65535 means wait forever. Setting it below 15 isn't recommended, but RFC3036 doesn't forbid it, so the vibe is "be careful, not banned" ๐Ÿ˜ญ

mplsLdpEntityInitSessionThreshold ๐Ÿ”ฅ sets when the mplsLdpInitSessionThresholdExceeded notification should go out while an Entity is trying to set up a session with a Peer. It's there to catch the endless-NAK loop, where two LSRs keep rejecting each other's Initialization messages with Error Notifications. The range is 0 to 100, the default is 8, and 0 means infinity, so you'll never get the notification at all ๐Ÿ’€

mplsLdpEntityLabelDistMethod โœจ says the label distribution method has to be specified for any given LDP session. Simple, but very important ๐ŸŒˆ

mplsLdpEntityLabelRetentionMode ๐Ÿ’– lets you pick conservative(1) or liberal(2). Conservative only keeps label mappings you'll actually use to forward packets, meaning they came from a valid next hop. Liberal keeps all of them, valid next hop or not. Pick your fighter ๐Ÿ‘‘

mplsLdpEntityPathVectorLimit ๐ŸŒˆ turns Path Vector loop detection on or off. Zero means off. Anything above zero turns it on and sets the limit. For that to work, mplsLdpLsrLoopDetectionCapable has to be pathVector(4) or hopCountAndPathVector(5), otherwise this object gets ignored ๐Ÿ™ˆ

mplsLdpEntityHopCountLimit ๐Ÿงš does the same job for Hop Count loop detection. Zero means disabled, and anything above zero sets the max Hop Count. That only counts if mplsLdpLsrLoopDetectionCapable is hopCount(3) or hopCountAndPathVector(5), otherwise it's ignored ๐Ÿ’…

mplsLdpEntityTransportAddrKind ๐Ÿ’€ chooses between interface(1) and loopback(2) for the transport address in the Hello message's transport address TLV. Interface uses the IP of the interface sending the Hellos, and loopback uses the loopback interface's IP. The default is loopback, which is giving stable identity ๐Ÿฆ‹

mplsLdpEntityTargetPeer ๐ŸŽ€ is a TruthValue that's false by default. Set it to true if this LDP entity uses a targeted peer, and that's it ๐Ÿซถ

mplsLdpEntityTargetPeerAddrType ๐Ÿ’œ and mplsLdpEntityTargetPeerAddr ๐Ÿ’œ are the pair that handles Extended Discovery. The type tells you how to read the address, and the address is the internetwork layer address for the target peer ๐ŸŒธ

Last but not least, mplsLdpEntityLabelType ๐ŸŒˆ is cut off at the end of this part. It specifies the optional parameters for the LDP Initialization Message, and when the value is generic(1), no optional parameters get sent in that Initialization message. More to come next part, bestie โœจ

okay bestie, we're still in the stats table era ๐Ÿ“Šโœจ The first bit picks up where the last part left off, so here's the rest of the entity config stuff, including the row lifecycle drama ๐Ÿ’…

             If the value is atmParameters(2) then
             a row must be created in the
             mplsLdpEntityAtmTable, which

Discontinuities can happen on re-initialization, and the entity's discontinuity time tells you when ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ


Now we get to the peer table ๐ŸŽ€ It's the info about LDP peers that an Entity knows about, and it's built from what they swap during session initialization. It's a separate table from the session table on purpose, because some of these objects might not get used when a session is actually being set up ๐ŸŒธ

Next up is the sessions table ๐Ÿฆ‹ Each row is one session between an LDP Entity and an LDP Peer, and it augments the peer table. It's read-only, and the values can differ from what's configured if they got negotiated. If both sides already match, there's no negotiation, so the values stay the same ๐Ÿค

4.1. The MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB Module โœจ

Okay bestie, this part is all about ATM ๐Ÿฆ‹ This MIB Module MUST be supported if LDP uses ATM as the Layer 2 medium. ๐Ÿ’– There are three tables in this MIB Module. Two of them are for configuring LDP to use ATM: the mplsLdpEntityAtmTable and the mplsLdpEntityAtmLRTable. ๐ŸŽ€ The third one is the mplsLdpAtmSessionTable, which is read-only. This MIB Module IMPORTS the AtmVpIdentifier TEXTUAL-CONVENTION from [RFC2514]. ๐Ÿ’…

4.1.1. The LDP Entity ATM Table

The mplsLdpEntityAtmTable is where you set up info that would otherwise be carried in the "Optional Parameter" portion of an LDP PDU Initialization Message. ๐ŸŒธ

4.1.2. The LDP Entity ATM Label Range Table

The mplsLdpEntityAtmLRTable lets you configure the info that would be in the "ATM Label Range Components" portion of an LDP PDU Initialization Message, see [RFC3035] and [RFC3036]. ๐Ÿงš

4.1.3. The LDP ATM Session Table

The MPLS LDP ATM Session Table is read-only ๐Ÿซถ and it holds session info that's specific to ATM. ๐Ÿ“

Here's the MIB module itself, no cap it's a lot ๐Ÿ˜ญ

4.2. The MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB Module ๐Ÿฆ‹

okay bestie, this MIB Module MUST be supported if LDP uses Frame Relay as the Layer 2 medium ๐Ÿ’… that's the whole vibe. There are three tables in here. Two of them are for setting LDP up for Frame Relay (mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayTable and mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayLRTable), and the third one, mplsLdpFrameRelaySessionTable, is read-only, so you can look but you can't touch ๐Ÿ‘€ This MIB Module IMPORTS the DLCI TEXTUAL-CONVENTION from [RFC2115] โœจ

4.2.1. The LDP Entity Frame Relay Table ๐ŸŽ€

the mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayTable is where you configure the stuff that would normally live in the "Optional Parameter" part of an LDP PDU Initialization Message ๐ŸŒธ

4.2.2. The LDP Entity Frame Relay Label Range Table ๐ŸŒˆ

the mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayLRTable lets you configure the info that would sit in the "Frame Relay Label Range Components" portion of an LDP PDU Initialization Message, see [RFC3034] and [RFC3036] ๐Ÿงš

4.2.3. The LDP Frame Relay Session Table ๐Ÿ’œ

the mplsLdpFrameRelaySessionTable is the table holding session info that's specific to Frame Relay, so this is where the Frame Relay session details live ๐Ÿซถ

7. Security Considerations ๐Ÿ”’

This Security Considerations section has 4 subsections, one for each of the MIB Modules in this document. Buckle up, this part is serious ๐Ÿ˜ญ

7.1. Security Considerations for MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. These objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Supporting SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityTable contains objects to provision potential LDP sessions on the Label Switching Router (LSR) or Label Edge Router (LER). The mplsLdpLspFecTable contains objects which associate an LSP with a FEC. Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if an LDP session 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. 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 therefore important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects, and possibly even to encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityTable, mplsLdpPeerTable, mplsLdpSessionTable and mplsLdpSessionStatsTable collectively show the LDP LSP network topology. If an Administrator does not want to reveal the LDP LSP topology of the network, then these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable.

7.2. Security Considerations for MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. These objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Supporting SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityAtmTable and mplsLdpEntityAtmLRTable contain objects to provision potential LDP sessions on the Label Switching Router (LSR) or Label Edge Router (LER) over Layer 2 of ATM. These tables extend the mplsLdpEntityTable in the MPLS-LDP-MIB. Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if an LDP session 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. 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 therefore important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects, and possibly even to encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityAtmTable and mplsLdpEntityAtmLRTable show the Label Ranges for ATM. If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable and treated accordingly.

7.3. Security Considerations for MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. These objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Supporting SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayTable and mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayLRTable contain objects to provision potential LDP sessions on the Label Switching Router (LSR) or Label Edge Router (LER) over Layer 2 of Frame Relay. These tables extend the mplsLdpEntityTable in the MPLS-LDP-MIB. Unauthorized access to objects in these tables could result in disruption of traffic on the network. This is especially true if an LDP session 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. 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 therefore important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects, and possibly even to encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. Here are the tables and objects and how sensitive or vulnerable they are:

  • The mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayTable and mplsLdpEntityFrameRelayLRTable show the Label Ranges for Frame Relay. If an Administrator does not want to reveal this information, then these tables should be considered sensitive/vulnerable and treated accordingly.

7.4. Security Considerations for MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB ๐Ÿ”

okay so this MIB has a bunch of management objects with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write and/or read-create, and those can be kinda sensitive or vulnerable depending on the network ๐Ÿ‘€. letting SET operations happen without proper protection can seriously mess with network operations ๐Ÿ’€. here are the tables and objects, and why they're sensitive:

  • mplsLdpEntityGenericLRTable holds objects for provisioning potential LDP sessions on an LSR or LER over Layer 2 of Ethernet ๐Ÿงš. it extends mplsLdpEntityTable in MPLS-LDP-MIB. if someone unauthorized gets in, traffic on the network could get disrupted ๐Ÿ˜ฑ, especially if an LDP session is already up. using stronger stuff like SNMPv3 security should be considered where possible, and SNMPv3 VACM and USM MUST be used with any v3 agent that implements this MIB ๐Ÿ”’. admins should also think about whether read access to these objects should be allowed at all, since read access can be undesirable in some situations ๐Ÿ™ˆ

some of the readable objects in this MIB (the ones with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) can also be sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments ๐Ÿซฃ. so it's important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to them, and maybe even encrypt their values when they're sent over the network via SNMP ๐Ÿ”. here's the tea:

  • mplsLdpEntityGenericLRTable shows the Label Ranges for ethernet ๐Ÿ“. if an admin doesn't want to reveal that info, these tables should be treated as sensitive/vulnerable and handled accordingly.

7.5. Additional Security Considerations

these paragraphs cover extra security stuff that applies to all 4 MIB Modules in this document ๐Ÿ’œ.

SNMP versions before SNMPv3 didn't include adequate security ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. even if the network itself is secure (like, by using IPSec), there's still no control over who on that secure network can access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. main character villain energy ๐Ÿ’€.

it is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features in the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy) ๐Ÿฆ‹.

deploying SNMP versions before SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and turn on cryptographic security ๐Ÿ”‘. after that, it's a customer/operator responsibility to make sure the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module is configured so the objects are only accessible to principals (users) who actually have legitimate rights to GET or SET (change/create/delete) them ๐Ÿ‘‘.


8. IANA Considerations ๐Ÿงพ

as described in [MPLSMGMT] and as requested in the MPLS-TC-STD-MIB [MPLSTCMIB], MPLS related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the mplsStdMIB subtree ๐ŸŒณ. there are 4 MPLS MIB Modules in this document, and each of the following "IANA Considerations" subsections lists the new IANA assignments under the mplsStdMIB subtree. new assignments can only be made via a Standards Action, as specified in [RFC2434] โœจ.

8.1. IANA Considerations for MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB

the IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 4 } to the MPLS-LDP-STD-MIB module specified in this document ๐ŸŽ€.

8.2. IANA Considerations for MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB

the IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 5 } to the MPLS-LDP-ATM-STD-MIB module specified in this document ๐Ÿฉต.

8.3. IANA Considerations for MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB

the IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 6 } to the MPLS-LDP-FRAME-RELAY-STD-MIB module specified in this document ๐ŸŒธ.

8.4. IANA Considerations for MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB

the IANA has assigned { mplsStdMIB 7 } to the MPLS-LDP-GENERIC-STD-MIB module specified in this document ๐Ÿ’–.
