1. Introduction π§ββοΈ
The Energy Management (EMAN) standards give us a spec for Energy Management π This doc defines a subset of a Management Information Base (MIB) that works with network management protocols for energy monitoring of network devices, and of devices attached to the network. It might even stretch to devices in industrial automation that have a network interface πβ¨
The big focus of the MIB module in this doc is on identifying Energy Objects and reporting their context and relationships, as defined in [RFC7326] π¦ So the module covers Energy Object identification, Energy Object context, and Energy Object relationships. Iconic, honestly π
1.1. Energy Management Document Overview π
This doc specifies two modules: the Energy Object Context (ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB) and the IANA Energy Relationship (IANA-ENERGY-RELATION-MIB) πΈ The Energy Object Context MIB has MIB objects for identifying Energy Objects and reporting their context and relationships. The IANA Energy Relationship MIB is the first version of the IANA-maintained definitions of relationships between Energy Objects π
First, the doc shows why energy monitoring matters in networks. Second, it lists some of the important areas that the Energy Management Framework [RFC7326] needs to cover. To do both, the EMAN applicability statement document [EMAN-AS] walks through several use cases and network scenarios. For each scenario it also covers the target devices for energy management, and how those devices are powered and metered π To handle those scenarios, requirements for power and energy monitoring of networking devices are specified in [RFC6988]. Building on those requirements, [RFC7326] presents a solution approach π
So the scope of the MIB modules here follows the requirements in [RFC6988] and the concepts from [RFC7326] π This doc is based on the Energy Management Framework [RFC7326], and it meets the requirements for identifying Energy Objects and their context and relationships in the Energy Management requirements document [RFC6988] π«Ά
There's also a second MIB module that meets the EMAN requirements [RFC6988]: the Monitoring and Control MIB for Power and Energy [RFC7460] β‘ It monitors Energy Objects for Power States and for power and energy consumption. Power State monitoring covers retrieving Power States, Power State properties, the current Power State, Power State transitions, and Power State statistics. This module also gives the Power Characteristics properties of the Power and Energy, along with optional characteristics π§
Last one: the applicability statement document [EMAN-AS] has the full list of use cases. It also describes what existing Energy standards have in common with the EMAN standard, and shows how the EMAN framework relates to other frameworks π
1.2. Conventions Used in This Document πͺ
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] π These are the official requirement words, so read them carefully, periodt π
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework ποΈ
If you want a detailed overview of the docs describing the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, check out section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410] π
Managed objects get accessed through a virtual information store called the Management Information Base, or MIB π§ MIB objects are usually accessed through 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 MIB modules that are compliant with SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579], and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580] π¦

4. Architecture Concepts Applied to the MIB Module β¨
okay so this section takes the core ideas from the Energy Management Framework [RFC7326] and shows how they apply to the MIB modules in this doc π«Ά it's giving architecture, bestie
The ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB module π is the one that handles identifying Energy Objects and describing their context and relationships. Its managed objects live in two tables: eoTable and eoRelationTable.
eoTable is all about the link to the other MIB modules, plus identification and context for the Energy Object π
eoRelationTable holds the relationships between Energy Objects. ngl it's a simplified version of how those relationships work π¦
Here's a "smidump-style" tree of the MIB modules in this document πΈ The symbols are a compressed way of showing each object's MAX-ACCESS clause. These are the possible values:
"not-accessible"->"---"
"accessible-for-notify"->"--n"
"read-only"->"r-n"
"read-write"->"rwn"

Next up is a UML diagram π§ It shows how the objects in eoTable, eoRelationTable, and ENTITY-MIB fit together. The MIB objects cover the identity, context, and relationship of an Energy Object, and the diagram also pulls in objects from the ENTITY-MIB [RFC6933] π

Figure 1: MIB Objects Grouping
As Figure 1 shows, the MIB objects fall into different logical groups π
- The Energy Object Identification. See Section 5.1 "Energy Object Identification". Devices and their sub-components are described by the power-related attributes of a physical entity in the ENTITY-MIB [RFC6933] π₯
- The Context Information. See Section 4.1 "Energy Object Context".
- The links to other MIB modules. See Section 4.3 "Links to Other Identifiers".
- The Energy Object Relationships specific information. See Section 4.4 "Energy Object Relationships".
- The Energy Object Identity Persistence. See Section 4.5 "Energy Object Identity Persistence".
4.1. Energy Object Identification
okay identification time πͺͺ for background on Energy Objects, check the "Identification" section in [RFC7326] β¨
Every Energy Object MUST implement the unique index, entPhysicalIndex, entPhysicalName, entPhysicalClass, and entPhysicalUUID from the ENTITY-MIB [RFC6933]. Module Compliance with respect to entity4CRCompliance of ENTITY-MIB MUST be supported, which requires a limited number of objects supported (entPhysicalIndex, entPhysicalName, entPhysicalClass, and entPhysicalUUID). entPhysicalIndex is used as index for the Energy Object in the ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB module. Every Energy Object MUST have a printable name assigned to it. Energy Objects MUST implement the entPhysicalName object specified in the ENTITY-MIB [RFC6933], which must contain the Energy Object name.
For ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB compliance, every Energy Object instance MUST implement the entPhysicalUUID from the ENTITY-MIB [RFC6933] π
As shown in [RFC4122], here's an example of a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) written as a URN: urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6.
To understand how Energy Object Components relate to Energy Objects, the ENTITY-MIB physical containment tree [RFC6933] MUST be implemented πΈ
A second example is an ENTITY-MIB extension. If the Energy Object temperature is required, the managed objects from the ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB [RFC3433] should be supported π‘οΈ
Each Energy Object MUST belong to a single Energy Management Domain, or in other words, an Energy Object cannot belong to more than one Energy Management Domain π« See the "Context: Domain" section in [RFC7326] for background. The eoDomainName, which is an element of the eoTable, is a read-write MIB object. The Energy Management Domain should map 1:1 with a metered or sub-metered portion of the network. The Energy Management Domain MUST be configured on the Energy Object. The Energy Object MAY inherit some of the domain parameters (possibly domain name, some of the context information such as role or keywords, importance) from the Energy Object or the Energy Management Domain MAY be configured directly in an Energy Object.
When an Energy Object acts as a Power Aggregator, the Energy Objects for which Power should be aggregated MUST be members of the same Energy Management Domain, specified by the eoDomainName MIB Object π
4.2. Energy Object Context π
okay so bestie, go read the "Context: Domain" section in [RFC7326] first π§ it's the background tea for everything in here β¨
an Energy Object must provide an eoImportance value from 1-100 so people can tell how much the device matters π 1 is the least important and 100 is the most important. if you don't set one, the default is 1 π
an Energy Object can also give you a set of eoKeywords π·οΈ these are tags you can use to group things and make summary reports, inside one Energy Management Domain or across several of them. so cute for organizing π
Power Interfaces are a thing too π and they can be a Power Inlet, a Power Outlet, or both. main character wiring energy π
an Energy Object can also be classified by its physical properties π¬ it can be something that consumes power, something that supplies power to other devices, or something that does both. and then there's the passive meter π the whole squad π
oh and an Energy Object can have an eoRoleDescription string π it says what job the device does in the network. iconic π
4.3. Links to Other Identifiers π
okay this one is lowkey important π«Ά entPhysicalIndex is the main index for every MIB object in the ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB module, BUT the Energy Management Systems (EnMS) still need to be able to link things up with the identifiers in other MIB modules they support. that's the whole mission π¦
if the Energy Object is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, and the SNMP agent managing it supports the Power over Ethernet MIB [RFC3621], then the Energy Object's eoethPortIndex and eoethPortGrpIndex MUST contain the matching values of pethPsePortIndex and pethPsePortGroupIndex [RFC3621]. no skipping this one π
same energy for LLDP π‘ if the Energy Object SNMP agent supports the LLDP-MED MIB [LLDP-MIB], then the Energy Object's eoLldpPortNumber MUST contain the matching lldpLocPortNum from the LLDP MIB π
the whole point of these links is to correlate the instances across the different MIB modules β¨ that way ENERGY-OBJECT-CONTEXT-MIB can reference the Power over Ethernet and LLDP MIB modules when the SNMP agent supports them. some use cases won't implement either of those for their Energy Objects, and that's totally fine πΈ but if either one IS implemented, the EnMS must be able to correlate the instances across the different MIB modules. no ghosting π»
now eoAlternateKey ποΈ it's an alternate key string that can identify the Energy Object. since an EnMS sometimes needs to correlate objects across management systems, this key is there to make that link easier. it's optional, and it's meant as a foreign key or alternate identifier that a manufacturer or EnMS can use to match the unique Energy Object Id in other systems or namespaces. if there's no alternate key, or it doesn't apply, the value is the zero-length string π«§
an Energy Object can also have extra MIB objects that make it easier for the EnMS to identify it π΅οΈββοΈ the optional ones are eoMgmtMacAddress, eoMgmtAddressType, and eoMgmtDNSName. they help show how Energy Objects relate to other NMS objects, and they can work as an alternate key to link the Energy Object with other keyed info stored in the EnMS(s). some vendor implementations won't include every optional object, and when you poll one of those, the expected behavior is a response of noSuchInstance π
4.4. Energy Object Relationships π
refer to the "Relationships" section in [RFC7326] for the definition and background π to link two Energy Objects, this MIB module introduces a separate table called eoRelationTable.
each Energy Object can have one or more relationships with other Energy Objects π those relationships live in eoRelationTable, and they're specified using the entPhysicalIndex of the Energy Object plus the UUID of the remote Energy Object. the UUID MUST comply to the RFC 4122 specifications π and it's totally possible for an Energy Object to have no relationships with other Energy Objects at all, which is fine π
these are the relationships considered in eoRelationTable:
Metering Relationship -> meteredBy / metering
Power Source Relationship -> poweredBy / powering
Aggregation Relationship -> aggregatedBy / aggregating
okay the meaning, bestie π§ Energy Object B has a "meteredBy" relationship with Energy Object A if A is the one measuring B's energy consumption. flip it and A has a "metering" relationship with B π
Energy Object B has a "poweredBy" relationship with Energy Object A if A is B's power source π and the other way around: A has a "powering" relationship with B β‘
Energy Object B has an "aggregatedBy" relationship with Energy Object A if A is the aggregation point for B's energy usage β¨ equivalently, A has an "aggregating" relationship with B π«Ά
the IANA-ENERGY-RELATION-MIB module in Section 5 below gives the first version of the IANA-maintained relationship definitions π¦ so new textual conventions for Energy Relationships can be specified WITHOUT updating the primary Energy Object Context MIB module. big brain move π§ π
4.5. Energy Object Identity Persistence ποΈ
sometimes the Energy Object identity info should stay persistent even after a device reloads π for example, in a static setup where a switch monitors a bunch of connected PoE phones, it's a huge win for the EnMS if the Energy Object Identification and all the associated info persist, because it saves a network discovery. ngl that's so efficient π₯Ή
BUT in other situations, like a wireless access point watching mobile user PCs, there isn't much benefit to persisting the Energy Object Information π€·ββοΈ the identity info of an Energy Object should be persisted, and there's value in the writable MIB objects being persisted too π

'guest', then the keyword list will be
'hospitality,guest'.
If write access is implemented and a value is written
into the instance, the agent must retain the supplied
value in the eoKeywords instance associated with
the same physical entity for as long as that entity
remains instantiated. This includes instantiations
across all re-initializations/reboots of the local
management agent."
::= { eoEntry 10 }
eoImportance OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32 (1..100)
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object specifies a ranking of how important the
Energy Object is (on a scale of 1 to 100) compared with
other Energy Objects in the same Energy Management
Domain. The ranking should provide a business or
operational context for the Energy Object as compared to
other similar Energy Objects. This ranking could be used
as input for policy-based network management.
Although network managers must establish their own
ranking, the following is a broad recommendation:
90 to 100 Emergency response
80 to 89 Executive or business critical
70 to 79 General or average
60 to 69 Staff or support
40 to 59 Public or guest
1 to 39 Decorative or hospitality
The value of eoImportance must remain constant at least
from one re-initialization of the Energy Object local
management system to the next re-initialization."

eoPowerCategory OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
consumer(0),
producer(1),
meter(2),
distributor(3),
store(4)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object describes the Energy Object category, which
indicates the expected behavior or physical property of
the Energy Object, based on its design. An Energy Object
can be a consumer(0), producer(1), meter(2),
distributor(3), or store(4).
Next up: the rest of eoPowerCategory and the remaining objects, so keep that scroll going π¦πΈ
Okay so we're picking up right where the meter stuff left off, bestie π Let's go.
In some cases, a meter is required to measure the power
consumption. In such a case, this meter Energy Object
category is meter(2). If a device is distributing
electric Energy, the category of the Energy Object is
distributor (3). If a device is storing electric Energy,
the category of the device can be store (4)."
::= { eoEntry 12 }
Next up is eoAlternateKey π¦ It's basically a foreign key or nickname so an EnMS or NMS can match up an Energy Object with its ID in some other system. If there's nothing to put there, you just use the zero-length string, and the value has to stick around across re-initializations π
eoAlternateKey OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SnmpAdminString
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The eoAlternateKey object specifies an alternate key
string that can be used to identify the Energy Object.
Since Energy Management Systems (EnMS) and Network
Management Systems (NMSs) may need to correlate objects
across management systems, this alternate key is provided
to provide such a link. This optional value is intended
as a foreign key or alternate identifier for a
manufacturer or EnMS/NMS to use to correlate the unique
Energy Object Id in other systems or namespaces. If an
alternate key is not available or is not applicable, then
the value is the zero-length string.
The value of eoAlternateKey must remain constant at
least from one re-initialization of the entity local
management system to the next re-initialization."
::= { eoEntry 13 }
Now eoPowerInterfaceType πΈ This one tells you whether an Energy Object is an inlet, an outlet, or both when it comes to the power transmission medium. Main character energy, honestly π
eoPowerInterfaceType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
inlet(0),
outlet(1),
both(2)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only

DESCRIPTION
"This object describes the Power Interface for an Energy
Object. A Power Interface is an interface at which an
Energy Object is connected to a power transmission
medium, at which it can in turn receive power, provide
power, or both. A Power Interface type can be an inlet(0),
an outlet(1), or both(2), respectively."

6. Security Considerations π
Okay bestie, this part is seriously important, so no giggling through it π There are a bunch of management objects in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Those objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Supporting SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection opens devices up to attack. Here are the tables and objects, plus how sensitive or vulnerable each one is π
Unauthorized changes to the eoDomainName, entPhysicalName, eoRoleDescription, eoKeywords, eoImportance, eoAlternateKey, eoRelationID, eoRelationship, eoRelationStatus, and/or eoRelationStorageType MAY disrupt power and energy collection, and therefore any predefined policies defined in the network. π
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 over who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. Not me being shocked π
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]. π₯
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. Lock it down, babe π
Energy and power monitoring can be a privacy minefield. In certain situations, it can reveal sensitive information about individuals' activities and habits, so implementors of this specification should use appropriate privacy protections as discussed in Section 9 of RFC 6988, and monitoring of individuals and homes should only occur with proper authorization. Privacy is not a vibe to skip π«Ά
7. IANA Considerations π¦
The MIB modules in this document use the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER Value
---------- -----------------------
energyObjectContextMIB { mib-2 231 }
This document defines the first version of the IANA-maintained IANA-ENERGY-RELATION-MIB module, which allows new definitions of relationships between Energy Objects. Ooh, it's giving extensibility π
A Specification Required as defined in [RFC5226] is REQUIRED for each modification of the energy relationships. No sneaky edits allowed β¨
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry.
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER Value
