This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for devices implementing NAT function. This MIB module may be used for configuration and monitoring of a device capable of NAT function. NAT types and their characteristics are defined in [RFC2663]. Traditional NAT function, in particular, is defined in [RFC3022]. This MIB does not address the firewall functions and must not be used for configuring or monitoring these. Section 2 provides references to the SNMP management framework, which was used as the basis for the MIB module definition. Section 3 describes the terms used throughout the document. Section 4 provides an overview of the key objects, their inter-relationship, and how the MIB module may be used to configure and monitor a NAT device. Lastly, section 5 has the complete NAT MIB definition. 🦋
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 [RFC2119]. 🎀
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 ✨
Definitions for a majority of the terms used throughout the document may be found in RFC 2663 [RFC2663]. Additional terms that further classify NAPT implementations are defined in RFC 3489 [RFC3489]. Listed below are terms used in this document. 🧠
Address realm - An address realm is a realm of unique network addresses that are routable within the realm. For example, an enterprise address realm could be constituted of private IP addresses in the ranges specified in RFC 1918 [RFC1918], which are routable within the enterprise, but not across the Internet. A public realm is constituted of globally unique network addresses. 🌍
Symmetric NAT - Symmetric NAT, as defined in RFC 3489 [RFC3489], is a variation of Network Address Port Translator (NAPT). Symmetric NAT does not use port bind for translation across all sessions originating from the same private host. Instead, it assigns a new public port to each new session, irrespective of whether the new session used the same private end-point as before. 🙈
Bind or Binding - Several variations of the term 'Bind' (or 'Binding') are used throughout the document. Address Bind (or Address Binding) is a tuple of (Private IP address, Public IP Address) used for translating an IP address end-point in IP packets. Port Bind (or, Port Binding, or Address Port Bind, or Address Port Binding) is a tuple of (transport protocol, Private IP address, Private port, Public IP Address, Public port) used for translating a port end-point tuple of (transport protocol, IP address, port). Bind is used to refer to either Address Bind or Port Bind. Bind Mode identifies whether a bind is Address Bind or Port Bind. 🔗
NAT Session - A NAT session is an association between a session as seen in the private realm and a session as seen in the public realm, by virtue of NAT translation. If a session in the private realm were to be represented as (PrivateSrcAddr, PrivateDstAddr, TransportProtocol, PrivateSrcPort, PrivateDstPort) and the same session in the public realm were to be represented as (PublicSrcAddr, PublicDstAddr, TransportProtocol, PublicSrcPort, PublicDstPort), the NAT session will provide the translation glue between the two session representations. NAT sessions in the document are restricted to sessions based on TCP and UDP only. In the future, NAT sessions may be extended to be based on other transport protocols such as SCTP, UDP-lite and DCCP. 🦄
The terms 'local' and 'private' are used interchangeably throughout the document when referring to private networks, IP addresses, and ports. Likewise, the terms 'global' and 'public' are used interchangeably when referring to public networks, IP addresses, and ports. 🫶
4. Overview 🌸
NAT MIB is configurable on a per-interface basis and depends in several parts on the IF-MIB [RFC2863]. 🍓
NAT MIB requires that an interface for which NAT is configured be connected to either a private or a public realm. The realm association of the interface plays an important role in the definition of address maps for the interface. An address map entry identifies the orientation of the session (inbound or outbound to the interface) for which the entry may be used for NAT translation. The address map entry also identifies the end-point of the session that must be subject to translation. An SNMP Textual-Convention NatTranslationEntity is defined to capture this important characteristic that combines session orientation and applicable session endpoint for translation. 🔥
An address map may consist of static or dynamic entries. NAT creates static binds from a static address map entry. Each static bind has a direct one-to-one relationship with a static address map entry. NAT creates dynamic binds from a dynamic address map entry upon seeing the first packet of a new session. 👑
The following subsections define the key objects used in NAT MIB, their inter-relationship, and how to configure a NAT device using the MIB module. 🎀
4.1. natInterfaceTable ✨
natInterfaceTable is defined in the MIB module to configure interface specific realm type and the NAT services enabled for the interface. natInterfaceTable is indexed by ifIndex and also includes interface specific NAT statistics. 📊
The first step for an operator in configuring a NAT device is determining the interface over which NAT service is to be configured. When NAT service is operational, translated packets traverse the NAT device by ingressing on a private interface and egressing on a public interface or vice versa. An operator may configure the NAT service on either the public interface or the private interface in the traversal path. 🦋
As the next step, the operator must identify the NAT service(s) desired for the interface. The operator may configure one or more NAT services on the same interface. The MIB module identifies four types of NAT services: Basic NAT, NAPT, twice NAT and bidirectional NAT. These are NAT varieties as defined in RFC 2663 [RFC2663]. Note that RFC 3489 [RFC3489] further classifies NAPT implementations based on the behavior exhibited by the NAPT devices from different vendors. However, the MIB module does not explicitly distinguish between the NAPT implementations. NAPT implementations may be distinguished between one another by monitoring the BIND and NAT Session objects generated by the NAT device as described in section 4.6. 🧚
4.2. natAddrMapTable ✨
okay so natAddrMapTable lives in the MIB module and it's where you set up address maps on a per-interface basis 🫶 It's indexed by the tuple of (ifIndex, natAddrMapIndex), and that same table also collects statistics for the address map entries. Address maps are literally key to NAT configuration 🔑 An operator can set up one or more address map entries per interface. NAT goes through the address map entries in the order they were defined to pick the translation function at the start of each new session crossing the interface 🦋 An address map can be made of static or dynamic entries. A static entry has a direct one-to-one relationship with binds, and NAT will dynamically create binds from a dynamic entry ✨
The operator has to be careful picking address map entries for an interface, based on the interface realm-type and the type of NAT service they want 💅 Things can go sideways if they ignore the interface characteristics defined in natInterfaceTable (described in section 4.1). For example, say the operator wants a NAPT map entry on a NAT device's interface. If they put it on a public interface (interface realm-type is public), they should set the TranslationEntity of that NAPT address map entry to outboundSrcEndPoint 🌸 But if it's a private interface (interface realm-type is private), they should set the TranslationEntity to InboundSrcEndPoint instead 🧚
4.3. Default Timeouts, Protocol Table, and Other Scalars 🍓
DefTimeouts is defined in the MIB module to configure the idle Bind timeout and the IP protocol specific idle NAT session timeouts 💜 These timeouts are global to the whole system, so they are not interface specific, which is giving "one setting to rule them all" energy 👑
Protocol specific statistics live in natProtocolTable, which is indexed by the protocol type 📊
The scalars natAddrBindNumberOfEntries and natAddrPortBindNumberOfEntries hold the number of entries that currently exist in the Address Bind and the Address Port Bind tables, respectively 🎀
The generation of natPacketDiscard notifications can be configured by using the natNotifThrottlingInterval scalar MIB object 🔔
4.4. natAddrBindTable and natAddrPortBindTable 🦋
There are two Bind tables, natAddrBindTable and natAddrPortBindTable, that hold the bind entries. These are derived from the address map table, so they are not configurable 🙅♀️ natAddrBindTable holds Address Binds, and natAddrPortBindTable holds Address Port Binds. natAddrBindTable is indexed by the tuple of (ifIndex, LocalAddrType, LocalAddr), while natAddrPortBindTable is indexed by the tuple of (ifIndex, LocalAddrType, LocalAddr, LocalPort, Protocol) 💖 Both tables also keep bind specific statistics. A Symmetric NAT will have no entries in the Bind tables at all 🙈
4.5. natSessionTable 🌈
natSessionTable is defined to hold NAT session entries. These entries are derived from NAT Binds (except in the case of Symmetric NAT) and, again, you can't configure them directly 🫶
A NAT session is the translation glue between two session representations of the same end-to-end session: one as seen in the private realm and one as seen in the public realm 🌸 The session's orientation (inbound or outbound) is decided by the orientation of the first packet crossing the NAT interface ✨ Address map entries and bind entries on the interface decide whether a session gets NAT translation at all. One endpoint or both endpoints of a session may be translated, depending on the case 💅
With the exception of symmetric NAT, every other NAT function uses end-point specific binds to do the individual end-point translations 🧚 Several NAT sessions can share the same bind as long as they share the same endpoint. Symmetric NAT doesn't keep a consistent port bind across multiple sessions using the same endpoint 😭 That's why the bind identifier for a NAT session in symmetric NAT is set to zero. natSessionTable is indexed by the tuple of (ifIndex, natSessionIndex), and statistics for NAT sessions are kept in that same table 📊
4.6. RFC 3489 NAPT Variations, NAT Session and Bind Tables 💜
[RFC3489] describes four NAPT variations: Full Cone, Restricted Cone, Port Restricted Cone, and Symmetric NAT 🔥 You can tell them apart in the NAT MIB by looking at different values for the objects in the session and bind tables, which is lowkey so satisfying 🎀
In a Port Restricted Cone NAT, NAT Session objects will contain a non-zero PrivateSrcEPBindId object. Also, all address and port objects within a NAT session will have non-zero values (meaning no wildcard matches) 🍓
An Address Restricted Cone NAT may have been implemented the same way as a Port Restricted Cone NAT, except that its UDP NAT Sessions may use an ANY match on PrivateDstPort and PublicDstPort objects. In other words, PrivateDstPort and PublicDstPort objects within a NAT session may be set to zero 🦋
A Full Cone NAT may have also been implemented the same way as a Port Restricted Cone NAT, except that its UDP NAT Sessions may use an ANY match on PrivateDstAddr, PrivateDstPort, PublicDstAddr, and PublicDstPort objects. Within a NAT Session, all four of these objects may be set to zero ✨ Alternatively, all address and port objects within a NAT Session may have non-zero values, yet the TranslationEntity of the PrivateSrcEPBindId for the NAT Sessions may be set bi-directionally. That means it's a bit mask of (outboundSrcEndPoint and inboundDstEndPoint) or (inboundSrcEndPoint and outboundDstEndPoint), depending on the interface realm type 🧚 Lastly, a Symmetric NAT doesn't maintain Port Bindings, so its NAT Session objects will have PrivateSrcEPBindId set to zero 💀
4.7. Notifications 🔔
natPacketDiscard lets the end user or manager know that packets are being discarded because there aren't any address mappings for them 😭
4.8. Relation Among Tables 🌸
Here's how the various NAT tables are connected to each other 🫶 It's basically a little family tree:
Interface
|
|
|
Address map
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------
| |
| |
| |
Address Bind Port Bind
| |
| |
| |
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
NAT SessionAll NAT functions, except Symmetric NAT, use Bind(s) to provide the glue needed for a NAT Session 🧚 The natSessionPrivateSrcEPBindId and natSessionPrivateDstEPBindId objects represent the endpoint Binds used by NAT Sessions 🎀
4.9. Configuration via the MIB 💅
Sections 4.1 and 4.2, plus part of section 4.3, talk about objects that are configurable on a NAT device 🍓 NAT derives Address Bind and Address Port Bind entries from the Address Map table. So an Address Bind or an Address Port Bind entry must not exist without an associated entry in the Address Map table 🙅♀️
Also, NAT derives NAT session entries from NAT Binds, except in the case of symmetric NAT, which derives translation parameters for a NAT session directly from an address map entry. So, with the exception of Symmetric NAT, a NAT session entry must not exist in the NAT Session table without a corresponding bind 💜
A Management station can follow these steps to configure entries in the NAT-MIB 🦋
- Create an entry in the natInterfaceTable, setting the value of
ifIndexto the interface index of the interface where NAT is being configured. Set the other objects (for example,natInterfaceRealmandnatInterfaceServiceType) in the table to their appropriate values, as applicable (refer to Section 4.1). - Create one or more address map entries, one after another, in reduced order of priority in the natAddrMapTable. Make sure the value of
ifIndexis the same for all of them. ThatifIndexshould match the one used for natInterfaceTable (refer to Section 4.2). - Configure the maximum permitted idle time for BINDs and for TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocol sessions by setting the relevant scalars in the natDefTimeouts object (refer to Section 4.3).
4.10. Relationship to Interface MIB ✨
The natInterfaceTable specifies the NAT configuration attributes on each interface 🌈 The concept of "interface" is defined by InterfaceIndex/ifIndex of the IETF Interfaces MIB [RFC2863] 🫶
5. Definitions 👑

"The end-point entity (source or destination) in

Session direction (inbound or outbound) is
derived from the direction of the first packet
of a session traversing a NAT interface.
NAT address (and Transport-ID) maps may be defined
to effect inbound or outbound sessions.
Traditionally, address maps for Basic NAT and NAPT are
configured on a public interface for outbound sessions,
effecting translation of source end-point. The value of
this object must be set to outboundSrcEndPoint for
those interfaces.
Alternately, if address maps for Basic NAT and NAPT were
to be configured on a private interface, the desired value
for this object for the map entries
would be inboundSrcEndPoint (i.e., effecting translation
of source end-point for inbound sessions).
If TwiceNAT were to be configured on a private interface,
the desired value for this object for the map entries
would be a bitmask of inboundSrcEndPoint and
inboundDstEndPoint."

END6. Acknowledgements ✨
okay the authors wanted to thank Randy Turner, Ashwini S.T., Kevin Luehrs, Sam Sankoorikal, and Juergen Quittek for their valuable feedback 🫶
and they gave a special shoutout to Juergen Schoenwaelder 👑 who did a patient, fine-combed review and left detailed comments as a MIB doctor. the NAT MIB is way clearer and flatter because of Juergen's suggestions, and that's so iconic 💅
7. Security Considerations 🔥
okay this section is serious, bestie, so pay attention 😭
this MIB can be super useful for configuration. but unauthorized access to the write-able objects could cause a denial of service and/or widespread network disturbance. so if you support SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection, that can really mess with network operations 💀
at this writing, no security holes have been identified beyond the ones that SNMP Security is itself meant to address. those mostly come down to controlling access to sensitive info and to who can configure a device, or to operator error, which is beyond the scope of any security architecture 🙈
some objects in this MIB may be sensitive from a business perspective, since they represent NAT bind and session information. the NAT bind and session objects reveal which private hosts are in a session with external end nodes. a curious outsider could watch these two objects to figure out how many private hosts the NAT device is supporting 👀 and a disgruntled former employee could use the bind and session info to break into specific private hosts, either by intercepting existing sessions or by starting new sessions into the host. there are no objects that are sensitive in their own right, like passwords or monetary amounts. it may still be important to control GET access to these objects, and possibly to encrypt their values when they're sent over the network via SNMP. not every version of SNMP gives you features for that kind of secure environment 🔐
SNMP versions before 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 😤
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, deploying SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security 🛡️ it's then the customer/operator's responsibility to make sure the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module is configured so that the objects are only accessible to principals (users) with legitimate rights to actually GET or SET (change/create/delete) them 💖
