RFC 4939 πŸŽ€ Definitions of Managed Objects for iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service)

okay so bestie, RFC 4939 is giving Standards Track energy ✨, and it's all about how to manage iSNS with SNMP. It was published in July 2007 by the IETF Trust's crew, and the authors are K. Gibbons (2Wire, Inc.), G. Ramkumar (SnapTell, Inc.), and S. Kipp (Brocade, Inc.). It doesn't list any obsoletes or updates, so it's not replacing or changing anything else. It's just a new MIB module, and it's iconic πŸ’…


Status of This Memo πŸ“œ

ok so this document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and it's literally asking for discussion and suggestions for improvements 🫢 If you want the current standardization state and status of this protocol, check the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1). And distribution of this memo is unlimited, so share it with everyone 🌸

1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework ✨

if you want the full tea on the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, go read section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410] πŸ“–

managed objects are accessed through a virtual information store called the Management Information Base, or MIB πŸ—‚οΈ MIB objects are usually accessed with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). this memo specifies a MIB module that's compliant with SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580] πŸ’œ

2. Introduction 🌈

ok so the iSNS protocol, described in RFC 4171 [RFC4171], can be used by IP-based storage devices for dynamic registration and discovery of other storage devices on the network 🫢 it can group devices into storage Discovery Domains, and group Discovery Domains into Discovery Domain Sets. the iSNS MIB is designed so Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to monitor iSNS servers that support iSCSI [RFC3720] and iFCP [RFC4172] πŸ‘‘

2.1. Requirement Levels πŸ”‘

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] πŸŽ€

3. Technical Description πŸ’–

3.1. iSNS Registered Objects πŸ“

this entity relationship figure shows the objects that can be registered in the iSNS, and how they're connected to each other πŸ¦‹

 +-----------------+
 |     iSNS        |
 |  NOTIFICATION   |
 |     INFO        |
 +-----------------+

the sections you're required to implement are the ones for iSNS Server management and notification πŸ”₯

3.3. iSNS Server Info πŸ–₯️

the isnsServerInfo section lets you monitor multiple iSNS Server instances 🫧 the isnsServerTable table gives info on each server instance, and it's indexed by the variable isnsServerIndex. the table shows the current settings for each iSNS server being managed. you can figure out the network address, plus the TCP and UDP ports a server uses for iSNSP registrations and queries, from this table πŸ’œ

the count of objects registered in each iSNS server instance is in the table isnsNumObjectsTable. it gives a summary of the number of Discovery Domain Sets, Discovery Domains, Entities, Portals, Portal Groups, iSCSI Nodes, and iFCP FC Nodes and Ports πŸ“

3.3.1. Control Node Information πŸ›‘οΈ

as the iSNS specification defines, Control Nodes are objects that have been registered with the server and are allowed to manage the iSNS server. they're identified by their iSCSI Node Name or iFCP FC Port Name. the isnsControlNodeInfo section of the MIB lets you view the currently registered set of iSCSI and iFCP control nodes πŸ‘‘

3.3.2. Discovery Domain Set (DDS) 🌸

the isnsDdsInfo section gives info on each registered DDS, plus the Discovery Domain members of each DDS, for each iSNS Server instance being managed. DDSs are a way to group multiple Discovery Domains so they're easier to control 🧚 as the iSNS Specification [RFC4171] describes, a DDS can be enabled or disabled, and that in turn enables or disables its member Discovery Domains. Discovery Domains inside an enabled DDS are then enforced by an iSNS Server ✨

3.3.3. Discovery Domain (DD) πŸ—ΊοΈ

the isnsDdInfo section gives info on each registered DD, and its DD members, for each iSNS Server instance being managed. DDs are collections of storage nodes and portals that are allowed to discover one another 🫢 DD members can be iSCSI nodes, Entity Portals, or iFCP nodes πŸ¦‹

3.3.4. Registered Storage Objects πŸ“¦

the isnsReg section gives info on the registered storage objects for a specific iSNS Server instance. it's split into subsections for Entities, Portals, and iSCSI Nodes, plus iFCP Port and Node info πŸ’–

3.3.4.1. Registered Entities 🏠

the isnsRegEntityInfo section gives info on the registered entities. Entities are collections of storage nodes and portals πŸ“

3.3.4.2. Registered Portals πŸšͺ

the isnsRegPortalInfo section gives info on the registered portals for a specific iSNS Server instance. Portals are logical IP-Address, TCP/UDP Port pairs that give access to storage nodes in the associated Entity 🌈

3.3.4.3. Registered Portal Groups 🧺

the isnsRegPortalGroupInfo section gives info on the registered portal groups for a specific iSNS Server instance. as iSCSI [RFC3720] describes, Portal Groups map Portals to the iSCSI Storage Nodes in an Entity πŸ’œ

3.3.4.4. Registered iSCSI Nodes πŸ’Ύ

the isnsRegIscsiNodeInfo section gives info on the registered iSCSI Nodes for a specific iSNS Server instance. iSCSI nodes are individual storage targets or initiators 🎯

3.3.4.5. Registered FC Ports πŸ”Œ

the isnsRegFcPortInfo section gives info on the registered FC Ports for a specific iSNS Server instance. FC Ports are ports tied to an iFCP gateway πŸ¦‹

3.3.4.6. Registered FC Nodes 🧸

the isnsRegFcNodeInfo section gives info on the registered FC Nodes for a specific iSNS Server instance. FC Nodes are individual storage devices tied to an iFCP gateway 🫧

3.4. Multiple Server Instances πŸ–‡οΈ

the agent supports managing multiple instances of iSNS servers. as section 3.3 describes, each managed iSNS server instance has an entry in the table isnsServerTable πŸ’…

3.5. iSNS Notifications πŸ””

the isnsNotification section provides SNMP notifications for iSNS Server state changes 🚨

4. MIB References πŸ“š

the following MIB module has IMPORTS from [RFC2578], [RFC2579], [RFC2580], [RFC3411], [RFC4001], [RFC4044], and [RFC4133]. in REFERENCE clauses, it also refers to [RFC3720], [RFC4171], and [RFC4172] 🌟

The first column is the key πŸ”‘ isnsServerIndex is not-accessible and identifies each iSNS Server the SNMP context is managing. Other parts of the MIB use that index to point at a specific server, so it's basically the main character of the table πŸ‘‘

okay so the FC Port block is giving a lot πŸ’… and the PPN one is the main character πŸ‘‘ because it has a SHALL in it, which means that rule is a real requirement, not a vibe 🫢 the way the spec wants every subsequent registration to match the first WWPN is so specific 😭

this next bit is the mapping table 🧚 it links an FC Node and iFCP Port up to an Entity, and the index is kind of a whole squad: isnsServerIndex, isnsRegFcNodeWwnn and isnsRegFcPortWwpn all together 🫢 the entity index is allowed to be zero until a device registers it, which is very relatable tbh πŸ™ˆ

last but not least, the compliance bit πŸŽ€ the iSCSI server compliance lists its mandatory groups, and the one object that gets a narrowed SYNTAX only needs unknown, ipv4, ipv6, ipv4z and ipv6z to be supported πŸ¦‹

okay so this chunk is all MIB compliance stuff, the part that says which address types an implementation has to support πŸŽ€ the code stays exactly as written, no cap

6. IANA Considerations πŸŽ€

The MIB module here uses a few IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values, all recorded in the SMI Numbers registry. Here's the one that matters:

         Descriptor        OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
         ----------        -----------------------

         isnsMIB           { mib-2 163 }

This RFC also uses the IANA registry of iSNS parameters, which was created for the iSNS Specification [RFC4171] and lives at http://www.iana.org/assignments/isns-parameters. Specifically, the isnsRegEntityProtocol values in the MIB module are the Block Storage Protocol values that IANA assigns and documents at that same address. ✨

7. Security Considerations 🚨

Okay, bestie, this section is serious, so let's get into it. πŸ’… The good news is that there are no management objects in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write and/or read-create. So if this MIB module is implemented correctly, there's no way for an intruder to alter or create any of its management objects through direct SNMP SET operations. πŸ”’

Some of the readable objects here (anything with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) might be sensitive or vulnerable depending on the network. That means it's really important to lock down even GET and/or NOTIFY access to them, and maybe even encrypt their values when they travel over the network via SNMP. 😭 These are the tables and objects, plus why they're sensitive:

  • isnsDdsMemberTable tells you which Discovery Domains are allowed to be enabled at the same time.
  • isnsDdTable holds info about Discovery Domains, which contain storage nodes that can talk to each other and swap storage data.
  • isnsDdIscsiMemberTable shows which iSCSI nodes live in which Discovery Domains.
  • isnsDdPortalMemberTable shows which iSCSI portals live in which Discovery Domains.
  • isnsDdFcPortMemberTable shows which iFCP FC N_Ports live in which Discovery Domains.
  • isnsControlNodeIscsiTable shows which iSCSI nodes could possibly control an iSNS server. πŸ‘€
  • isnsControlNodeFcPortTable shows which iFCP FC N_Ports could possibly control an iSNS server. πŸ‘€

All of these object tables give away info about storage object sessions, and they can basically tell someone who is talking to whom and who is exchanging storage data. Yikes. πŸ’€

Heads up: SNMP versions before SNMPv3 didn't have adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example, by using IPsec), there's still no control over who on that secure network can GET or SET (read, change, create, or delete) the objects in this MIB module. Not it. πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

It is RECOMMENDED that implementers look at the security features of the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). πŸ”

Also, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. 🫢 And 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 available to the principals (users) who legitimately have the right to GET or SET (change, create, or delete) them. Keep your access list tight, periodt. πŸ‘‘
