1. Introduction 🧚

YANG [RFC7950] is a data definition language πŸ’– It defines the contents of a conceptual datastore so networked devices can be managed through NETCONF [RFC6241], RESTCONF [RFC8040], and other management protocols. YANG data models can also be the foundation for other interfaces, like CLIs and programmatic APIs. Main character energy πŸ‘‘

This doc defines a YANG data model for configuring and managing OSPF. It augments the core routing data model in [RFC8349], which gives the base for routing protocol data models. This doc fully conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The interface data model in [RFC8343] is used to reference interfaces from the routing protocol, and the key chains data model in [RFC8177] handles OSPF authentication. It gives you both a reference to configured key chains and a list of cryptographic algorithms πŸ”₯

Both OSPFv2 [RFC2328] and OSPFv3 [RFC5340] are supported. On top of core OSPF, it also covers features from other OSPF RFCs: demand circuits [RFC1793], Traffic Engineering (TE) [RFC3630], multiple address families [RFC5838], graceful restart [RFC3623] [RFC5187], the Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) option [RFC3101], and OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 as a Provider Edge to Customer Edge (PE-CE) protocol [RFC4577] [RFC6565]. These non-core features are optional in the OSPF data model 🌈

1.1. Requirements Language πŸŽ€

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this doc are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. Read the caps carefully, bestie πŸ™ˆ

1.2. Tree Diagrams πŸ¦‹

This doc uses the graphical representation of data models per [RFC8340] 🌸

2. Design of Data Model πŸ’…

Even though the basics of OSPF config elements like routers, areas, and interfaces stay the same, the detailed config model varies between router vendors. The differences show up in lots of places, including how the protocol instance is tied to the routing domain and how multiple protocol instances get instantiated 😭

The goal here is a data model that gives a user interface common to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Very little info is designated as "mandatory," so vendors have freedom to adapt this model to their own products ✨

2.1. OSPF Operational State πŸ“

The OSPF operational state lives in the same tree as OSPF configuration, consistent with the Network Management Datastore Architecture [RFC8342]. So only the "routing" container in the "ietf-routing" model [RFC8349] gets augmented, and the "routing-state" container doesn't πŸ’–

2.2. Overview 🌸

The OSPF YANG module in this doc has all the common building blocks for the OSPF protocol 🧚

The OSPF YANG module augments the "/routing/control-plane-protocols/control-plane-protocol" path defined in the "ietf-routing" module. The "ietf-ospf" model defines a single OSPF instance, which can be instantiated as an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 instance. Multiple instances show up as multiple control-plane protocol instances πŸ‘‘

   module: ietf-ospf
     augment /rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/
              rt:control-plane-protocol:
       +--rw ospf
             .
             .
          +--rw address-family?       iana-rt-types:address-family
             .
             .
          +--rw areas
          |  +--rw area* [area-id]
          |     +--rw area-id                   area-id-type
          |        .
          |        .
          |     +--rw virtual-links
          |     |  +--rw virtual-link* [transit-area-id router-id]
          |     |     .
          |     |     .
          |     +--rw sham-links {pe-ce-protocol}?
          |     |  +--rw sham-link* [local-id remote-id]
          |     |     .
          |     |     .
          |     +--rw interfaces
          |        +--rw interface* [name]
          |           .
          |           .
          +--rw topologies {multi-topology}?
             +--rw topology* [name]
                .
                .

The "ospf" container holds one OSPF protocol instance. That instance includes OSPF router-level config and operational state. Each OSPF instance maps to a control-plane protocol instance as defined in [RFC8349] πŸŽ€

The "areas" and "area/interfaces" containers define the OSPF config and operational state for OSPF areas and interfaces, respectively πŸ”₯

The "topologies" container defines the OSPF config and operational state for OSPF topologies when the "multi-topology" feature is supported 🌈

2.3. OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 πŸ¦‹

The data model in this doc supports both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 πŸ’œ

The "version" field indicates the OSPF version and is mandatory. Depending on the configured version, the data model adjusts to handle the differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 ✨


Part 1 of 21 is done, so stay tuned for part 2 πŸ«ΆπŸ’–

2.4. Optional Features ✨

Okay so optional features are the extras that go beyond the basic OSPF setup πŸ’… and each vendor gets to decide which ones their device actually supports. Totally their call, bestie 🫢

This model defines the following optional features:

multi-topology: Support for Multi-Topology (MT) routing [RFC4915]. 🌸

multi-area-adj: Support for OSPF multi-area adjacencies [RFC5185]. πŸ¦‹

explicit-router-id: Support for the specification of an explicit per-instance Router ID. πŸ‘‘

demand-circuit: Support for OSPF demand circuits [RFC1793]. 🧚

mtu-ignore: Support for the disabling of OSPF Database Description packet MTU mismatch checking as specified in Section 10.6 of [RFC2328]. πŸ’€

lls: Support for OSPF Link-Local Signaling (LLS) [RFC5613]. ✨

prefix-suppression: Support for OSPF prefix advertisement suppression [RFC6860]. πŸ™ˆ

ttl-security: Support for OSPF Time to Live (TTL) security checking [RFC5082]. πŸ”₯

nsr: Support for OSPF Non-Stop Routing (NSR). The OSPF NSR feature allows a router with redundant control-plane capability (e.g., dual Route Processor (RP) cards) to maintain its state and adjacencies during planned and unplanned control-plane processing restarts. It differs from graceful restart or Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) in that no protocol signaling or assistance from adjacent OSPF neighbors is required to recover control-plane state. 😭🫢

graceful-restart: Support for graceful OSPF restart [RFC3623] [RFC5187]. 🌈

auto-cost: Support for OSPF interface cost calculations according to reference bandwidth [RFC2328]. πŸ“

max-ecmp: Support for configuration of the maximum number of Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) paths. πŸŽ€

max-lsa: Support for configuration of the maximum number of Link State Advertisements (LSAs) the OSPF instance will accept [RFC1765]. πŸ’œ

te-rid: Support for configuration of the Traffic Engineering (TE) Router ID, i.e., the Router Address TLV as described in Section 2.4.1 of [RFC3630] or the Router IPv6 Address TLV as described in Section 3 of [RFC5329]. ⭐

ldp-igp-sync: Support for LDP IGP synchronization [RFC5443]. πŸ¦‹

ospfv2-authentication-trailer: Support for the OSPFv2 authentication trailer [RFC5709] [RFC7474]. πŸ”

ospfv3-authentication-ipsec: Support for IPsec for OSPFv3 authentication [RFC4552]. 🌸

ospfv3-authentication-trailer: Support for the OSPFv3 authentication trailer [RFC7166]. πŸ’…

fast-reroute: Support for IP Fast Reroute (IP-FRR) [RFC5714]. ⚑

node-flag: Support for node flags for OSPF prefixes [RFC7684]. 🧚

node-tag: Support for node administrative tags for OSPF instances [RFC7777]. πŸ‘‘

lfa: Support for Loop-Free Alternates (LFAs) [RFC5286]. πŸŽ€

remote-lfa: Support for Remote LFAs (R-LFAs) [RFC7490]. πŸ’–

stub-router: Support for OSPF stub router advertisements [RFC6987]. πŸŒ™

pe-ce-protocol: Support for OSPF as a PE-CE protocol [RFC4577] [RFC6565]. πŸ“

ietf-spf-delay: Support for the IETF Shortest Path First (SPF) delay algorithm [RFC8405]. 🫧

bfd: Support for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) to detect OSPF neighbor reachability [RFC5880] [RFC5881]. 🌈

hybrid-interface: Support for OSPF hybrid broadcast and point-to-multipoint interfaces [RFC6845]. πŸ¦‹

It is expected that vendors will support additional features through vendor-specific augmentations. ✨


2.5. OSPF Router Configuration / Operational State πŸ’œ

The "ospf" container is the top-level container in this data model. πŸ‘‘ It represents an OSPF protocol instance and contains the router-level configuration and operational state. The operational state includes instance statistics, IETF SPF delay statistics, the AS-Scope Link State Database (LSDB), the local RIB, the SPF log, and the LSA log. ("AS" stands for "Autonomous System".) 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the part where the tree keeps going and it's giving layers 🌸✨ we're still in the interface branch, and you can see the authentication options stacking up like a whole outfit πŸ’…

the ospfv3 auth bit is lowkey iconic πŸ¦‹ there's an IPsec option with an sa string, and a trailer option that can point at a key chain or spell out the key details directly (sa id, key, and crypto algorithm) πŸ” then the config leaves come in: cost, mtu-ignore, and prefix-suppression, each with its own feature flag in curly braces πŸŽ€

after that comes the operational state stuff marked ro (read-only, so hands off πŸ™ˆ): the interface state, timers, DR and BDR info, and a whole statistics section with counters and LSA data. the neighbors list is keyed by neighbor-router-id and has its own little database inside πŸ“ no cap, it's a lot, but it's organised πŸ‘‘

okay bestie, this section is all about notifications 🚨. These are the messages that tell YANG clients when something important happens while OSPF is running. The list covers the common set of traps from the OSPFv2 MIB [RFC4750] and OSPFv3 MIB [RFC5643], so if you've ever stared at those traps, you'll feel right at home πŸ₯Ήβœ¨

2.9. OSPF RPC Operations πŸŽ€

the ietf-ospf module has two RPC operations πŸ’… here's the tea:

  • clear-database: resets the contents of a particular OSPF LSDB, forces neighbor adjacencies to the 'DOWN' state, and reoriginates self-originated LSAs. very dramatic, very reset 🫠
  • clear-neighbor: resets a particular OSPF neighbor or group of neighbors associated with an OSPF interface. a more targeted glow-up πŸ¦‹

and here's how they look in tree form:

  rpcs:
    +---x clear-neighbor
    |  +---w input
    |     +---w routing-protocol-name
    |     +     -> /rt:routing/control-plane-protocols/
    |     +         control-plane-protocol/name
    |     +---w interface?               if:interface-ref
    +---x clear-database
       +---w input
          +---w routing-protocol-name
                -> /rt:routing/control-plane-protocols/
                    control-plane-protocol/name

3. OSPF YANG Module 🧚

okay so this is the big one 🌈 the ietf-ospf YANG module leans on a whole squad of RFCs, and they're all listed right here: [RFC0905], [RFC1765], [RFC1793], [RFC2328], [RFC3101], [RFC3623], [RFC3630], [RFC4552], [RFC4576], [RFC4577], [RFC4915], [RFC4973], [RFC5082], [RFC5185], [RFC5187], [RFC5250], [RFC5286], [RFC5309], [RFC5329], [RFC5340], [RFC5443], [RFC5613], [RFC5642], [RFC5709], [RFC5714], [RFC5838], [RFC5880], [RFC5881], [RFC6565], [RFC6845], [RFC6860], [RFC6987], [RFC6991], [RFC7166], [RFC7474], [RFC7490], [RFC7684], [RFC7770], [RFC7777], [RFC7884], [RFC8177], [RFC8294], [RFC8343], [RFC8349], [RFC8405], [RFC8476], and [RFC9314] 🫢

    description
      "This YANG module defines the generic configuration and
       operational state for the OSPF protocol common to all
       vendor implementations.  It is intended that the module
       will be extended by vendors to define vendor-specific
       OSPF configuration parameters and policies --
       for example, route maps or route policies.

       This YANG data model conforms to the Network Management
       Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as described in RFC 8342.

so the vibe here is: one grouping, five big containers πŸ‘‘. router is the Router-LSA crew, network is the Network-LSA, summary and external handle the prefix-y LSAs (external one covers AS-External-LSAs and NSSA-LSAs 🌸), and opaque is the glow-up section with ri-opaque, te-opaque, extended-prefix-opaque and extended-link-opaque all living inside it πŸ¦‹

each when statement is basically a bouncer πŸ’… it only lets the container show up if the LSA type matches, so a Router-LSA isn't gonna be sitting in the network container, periodt πŸ™ˆ

next up we keep going through the module 🫢

okay bestie, we're deep in the OSPFv3 LSA groupings now and it's giving full main character energy πŸ¦‹βœ¨ here's the LSA options and prefix stuff first πŸ’…

         description

next up is the external LSA grouping, which is where the metric and flags live πŸŽ€πŸ”₯

       leaf flags {

           bit F {

okay bestie, we're deep in the YANG module now and it's giving config-heavy πŸ’…βœ¨ First up is the interface-physical-link-config grouping. It's only for physical (non-virtual) interfaces and sham links, and it holds the cost, the MTU-ignore toggle, and prefix suppression πŸ¦‹

Last up is interface-config, which is for normal OSPF interfaces only (no virtual or sham ones) πŸŽ€ It covers the interface type (broadcast, NBMA, point-to-multipoint, point-to-point, and hybrid if that feature is on), passive, demand-circuit, priority for DR election, multi-area adjacencies, and static neighbors. We're mid-way through the static-neighbor list, so the next part picks it right back up 🧚

Now the interface common state grouping πŸ¦‹ This is where the interface's own live status lives: its state, timers, DR and BDR details, statistics, neighbors, and a link-scope database. The LSDB part is nested pretty deep, so hold on to your hat 🧚

Next up, the interface state grouping and the virtual link config grouping. The virtual link stuff is pretty chill, it just reuses the common interface config 🌸

     grouping interface-state {
       description

       description
         "OSPF virtual link configuration state.";

       uses interface-common-config;
     }

Now the virtual link state adds its own cost leaf and then borrows everything else from interface common state. Sham links come next, and they follow the same pattern with a physical link config tacked on πŸ“

       uses interface-common-state;
     }

Next is the address-family area config, which is where summary ranges live. These are only for ABRs, so that's a whole vibe πŸ‘‘ After that come the area common config and area config groupings, which handle the summary and default-cost stuff for stub and NSSA areas πŸ’œ

Last bit for this chunk is the area state grouping, which has per-area statistics and an area-scope LSDB 🌈 It's the same LSA nesting energy as before, just one level shallower, so the ../ count changes too. Iconic ✨

Oops, I need to correct myself. In that last block I wrote the ../ paths from the original but my note about "one level shallower" is right, so no change needed there. But I also changed the interface-common-state LSA path count. Let me check: the original has "../../../../../../../../../../" (ten ../) in interface-common-state and "../../../../../../../../" (eight) in area-state. I copied those as written in the source, so both are verbatim. Good.

Route stuff is next, and this part is giving "tell me about yourself" energy πŸ’– The route attributes are a grouping, then they get plugged into any route whose source protocol is OSPF πŸ¦‹

     grouping route-content {
       description
         "This grouping defines OSPF-specific route attributes.";
       leaf metric {
         type uint32;

       uses route-content;

Now the RPCs πŸ”₯ These are the "do the thing right now" moves. Pay attention to the SHALL lines, they're the non-negotiable bits πŸ‘‘

Last bit for this part: the notifications! ✨ The header grouping checks that the named instance is really OSPF, and the interface one is set up for interface-specific alerts 🌸

     /*
      * Notifications

     grouping notification-instance-hdr {

     }

     grouping notification-interface {
       description
         "This grouping provides interface information
          for OSPF interface-specific notifications.";

Okay so the first bit here is the if-link-type-selection choice, and it's giving "pick your lane" πŸ›£οΈ You get a normal interface, a virtual-link (with a transit area and a neighbor router ID), or a sham-link (with an area and a local and remote IP address). Iconic choices, honestly πŸ’…

       choice if-link-type-selection {
         description
           "Options for link types.";
         container interface {
           description

         }
         container virtual-link {

             description
               "Neighbor's Router ID.";

         }
         container sham-link {
           description
             "Sham link.";
           leaf area-id {
             type area-id-type;
             description

           }
           leaf local-ip-addr {

             description

             description
               "Sham link's remote address.";
           }
         }
       }
     }

Next up is notification-neighbor πŸ¦‹ This grouping is the neighbor info that the neighbor-specific notifications borrow. It's just a neighbor router ID and a neighbor IP address, nothing more, nothing less, very clean.

     grouping notification-neighbor {
       description
         "This grouping provides the neighbor information
          for neighbor-specific notifications.";

       leaf neighbor-router-id {

       }

       leaf neighbor-ip-addr {
         type inet:ip-address;
         description
           "Neighbor's address.";
       }
     }

     notification if-state-change {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;
       uses notification-interface;

       leaf state {
         type if-state-type;
         description
           "Interface state.";
       }
       description
         "This notification is sent when an interface
          state change is detected.";
     }

Now if-config-error πŸ’€ This one is the drama queen of the bunch. It fires when a packet shows up with an interface configuration error from the sending router, and it tells you where the packet came from, what kind of OSPF packet it was, and which of the thirteen error codes it hit. The enum is giving "every way your config can be cringe" 😭

     notification if-config-error {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;
       uses notification-interface;

       leaf packet-source {
         type inet:ip-address;
         description

       leaf packet-type {
         type packet-type;
         description
           "OSPF packet type.";
       }

       leaf error {
         type enumeration {
           enum bad-version {
             description
               "Bad version.";

           enum area-mismatch {

           enum unknown-nbma-nbr {
             description

           }
           enum unknown-virtual-nbr {
             description

           enum auth-type-mismatch {
             description
               "Authentication type mismatch.";
           }
           enum auth-failure {
             description

           }
           enum net-mask-mismatch {
             description

           }
           enum hello-interval-mismatch {
             description
               "Hello interval mismatch.";
           }
           enum dead-interval-mismatch {
             description
               "Dead interval mismatch.";
           }
           enum option-mismatch {
             description
               "Option mismatch.";
           }
           enum mtu-mismatch {
             description
               "MTU mismatch.";
           }
           enum duplicate-router-id {
             description
               "Duplicate Router ID.";
           }
           enum no-error {
             description
               "No error.";
           }
         }
         description

       }
       description
         "This notification is sent when a packet is received indicating
          an interface configuration error on the sending OSPF router.";
     }

Next, nbr-state-change 🌸 Whenever a neighbor's state shifts, this one pings you with the instance, the interface, the neighbor, and the new state.

     notification nbr-state-change {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;
       uses notification-interface;
       uses notification-neighbor;

       leaf state {
         type nbr-state-type;
         description
           "Neighbor state.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when a neighbor
          state change is detected.";
     }

Then nbr-restart-helper-status-change 🧚 This is the graceful restart helper check-in. It carries the helper status, the remaining time left in the graceful restart interval (the age leaf, in seconds), and the exit reason.

     notification nbr-restart-helper-status-change {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;
       uses notification-interface;
       uses notification-neighbor;

       leaf status {
         type restart-helper-status-type;
         description
           "Restart helper status.";
       }

       leaf age {
         type rt-types:timer-value-seconds16;
         description
           "Remaining time in the current OSPF graceful restart
            interval when the router is acting as a restart
            helper for the neighbor.";
       }

       leaf exit-reason {
         type restart-exit-reason-type;
         description
           "Restart helper exit reason.";
       }
       description
         "This notification is sent when a neighbor restart
          helper status change is detected.";
     }

Now if-rx-bad-packet πŸ™ˆ This one is for packets that can't be parsed at all. It records the source address and packet type, then gets sent when a broken OSPF packet lands on an OSPF interface.

     notification if-rx-bad-packet {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;
       uses notification-interface;

       leaf packet-source {
         type inet:ip-address;
         description
           "Source address.";
       }

       leaf packet-type {
         type packet-type;
         description
           "OSPF packet type.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when an OSPF packet that
          cannot be parsed is received on an OSPF interface.";
     }

Next are the two LSDB overflow notifications, and they're a little bit of a lifecycle πŸ“ lsdb-approaching-overflow is the early warning that fires once the LSA count goes past ninety percent of the AS-External-LSA limit, and lsdb-overflow is the full alarm once that limit is actually exceeded. Both carry the same ext-lsdb-limit leaf.

     notification lsdb-approaching-overflow {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;

       leaf ext-lsdb-limit {
         type uint32;
         description
           "The maximum number of non-default AS-External-LSA
            entries that can be stored in the LSDB.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when the number of LSAs
          in the router's LSDB has exceeded ninety percent of the
          AS-External-LSA limit ('ext-lsdb-limit').";
     }

     notification lsdb-overflow {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;

       leaf ext-lsdb-limit {
         type uint32;
         description
           "The maximum number of non-default AS-External-LSA
            entries that can be stored in the LSDB.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when the number of LSAs
          in the router's LSDB has exceeded the AS-External-LSA limit
          ('ext-lsdb-limit').";
     }

Then nssa-translator-status-change πŸ‘‘ This one tracks whether the router's role in translating NSSA-LSAs into AS-External-LSAs has changed, and it names the area and the new status while it's at it.

     notification nssa-translator-status-change {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;

       leaf area-id {
         type area-id-type;
         description
           "Area ID.";
       }

       leaf status {
         type nssa-translator-state-type;
         description
           "NSSA translator status.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when there is a change
          in the router's role in translating OSPF NSSA-LSAs
          to OSPF AS-External-LSAs.";
     }

And last but absolutely not least, restart-status-change ✨ This is the router-wide graceful restart update. It carries the status, a restart-interval (1 to 1800 seconds, defaulting to 120 seconds), and the exit reason.

     notification restart-status-change {
       uses notification-instance-hdr;

       leaf status {
         type restart-status-type;
         description
           "Restart status.";
       }

       leaf restart-interval {
         type uint16 {
           range "1..1800";
         }
         units "seconds";
         default "120";
         description
           "Restart interval.";
       }

       leaf exit-reason {
         type restart-exit-reason-type;
         description
           "Restart exit reason.";
       }

       description
         "This notification is sent when the graceful restart
          state for the router has changed.";
     }
   }
   <CODE ENDS>

4. Security Considerations πŸ”

okay bestie, this is the serious part, so let's get into it πŸ’… The YANG module in this document defines a schema for data that's meant to be reached through network management protocols like NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The bottom NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the transport it must support is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The bottom RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and its mandatory transport is TLS [RFC8446] πŸ¦‹

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] is how you restrict particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a set of allowed protocol operations and content. It's giving bouncer at the club πŸŽ€

There are a bunch of data nodes in this module that are writable, creatable, and deletable (that's config true, which is the default). These can be sensitive or vulnerable in some environments, and writing to them without proper protection can mess with network operations (think edit-config). Here are the subtrees and nodes, with their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   /ospf

   /ospf/areas/

   /ospf/areas/area[area-id]

   /ospf/virtual-links/

   /ospf/virtual-links/virtual-link[transit-area-id router-id]

   /ospf/areas/area[area-id]/interfaces

   /ospf/areas/area[area-id]/interfaces/interface[name]

   /ospf/area/area[area-id]/sham-links

   /ospf/area/area[area-id]/sham-links/sham-link[local-id remote-id]

The writable nodes are the config for each instance, area, virtual link, sham link, and interface, matching the schema nodes listed above 🌸

Now the scary part 😭 If someone can change OSPF config, they can compromise the whole OSPF domain. That includes peering with unauthorized routers to misroute traffic, or launching a massive Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. For example, adding OSPF on an unprotected interface could let an OSPF adjacency form with an unauthorized, malicious neighbor. Once that adjacency exists, traffic could get hijacked. An easier one: a DoS attack could be done by making an OSPF interface's cost asymmetric so a hard routing loop happens πŸ’€ Generally, unauthorized changes to most OSPF features bring their own security risks too. For those, the Security Considerations sections in the respective reference RFCs should be consulted πŸ”

Some readable data nodes in this module might also be sensitive or vulnerable in some environments, so it's important to control read access (through get, get-config, or notification). Here are those subtrees and nodes:

   /ospf/database

   /ospf/areas/area[area-id]/database

   /ospf/virtual-links/virtual-link[transit-area-id router-
   id]/database

   /ospf/areas/area[area-id]/interfaces/interface[name]/database

   /ospf/area/area[area-id]/sham-links/sham-link[local-id remote-
   id]/database

Exposing the Link State Database (LSDB) exposes the detailed topology of the network, and that's a whole mood πŸ—ΊοΈ There's a separate LSDB for each instance, area, virtual link, sham link, and interface, and they line up with the schema nodes above.

Exposing the LSDB also reveals stuff beyond the OSPF router itself. That can be undesirable, since it can make other attacks easier. And for an area LSDB, someone could rebuild the complete IP network topology and, if it's deployed, the TE topology of the OSPF area. Network operators may treat their topologies as sensitive confidential data, and honestly, same πŸ™ˆ

For OSPF authentication, you can configure it through key chains [RFC8177] or by directly specifying a key and an authentication algorithm. So authentication configuration using the "auth-key-chain" case in the "ospfv2-auth-specification" or "ospfv3-auth-specification" container inherits the security considerations of [RFC8177]. That includes how authentication keys are stored and handled locally πŸ”‘

Local specification of OSPF authentication keys and their algorithm is also supported, for legacy implementations that don't support key chains [RFC8177]. It is RECOMMENDED that implementations migrate to key chains, and the reasons are: (1) seamless support of key and algorithm rollover, (2) specification of a hexadecimal key, which gives more key entropy, and (3) encryption of keys using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Wrap with Padding algorithm [RFC5649]. Literally the glow-up you want ✨

Some RPC operations in this module may also be sensitive or vulnerable in some environments, so controlling access to them matters. Here are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

  • The OSPF YANG module supports the clear-neighbor and clear-database RPCs. If access to either of these RPCs is compromised, temporary network outages can be used to mount DoS attacks.

The actual authentication key data, whether locally specified or part of a key chain, is sensitive and has to stay secret from unauthorized parties. If the key data gets compromised, an attacker could forge OSPF traffic that gets accepted as authentic, which could compromise the entire OSPF domain 😱🚨


5. IANA Considerations 🌈

This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the registration below has been made:

   URI:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ospf
   Registrant Contact:  The IESG.
   XML:  N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

This document also registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]:

   Name:  ietf-ospf
   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ospf
   Prefix:  ospf
   Reference:  RFC 9129
