Abstract
-
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing MAC bridges based on the IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. Provisions are made for the support of transparent bridging. Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments.
The MIB module presented in this memo is a translation of the BRIDGE-MIB defined in RFC 1493 to the SMIv2 syntax.
This memo obsoletes RFC 1493.

1. 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].
2. Conventions
-
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL", when they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
3. Overview
-
A common device present in many networks is the Bridge. This device is used to connect Local Area Network segments below the network layer.
There are two major modes defined for this bridging: transparent and source route. The transparent method of bridging is defined in the IEEE 802.1D specification [IEEE8021D]. This memo defines those objects needed for the management of a bridging entity that operates in the transparent mode, as well as some objects that apply to all types of bridges.
To be consistent with IAB directives and good engineering practices, an explicit attempt was made to keep this MIB module as simple as possible. This was accomplished by applying the following criteria to objects proposed for inclusion:
- Start with a small set of essential objects and add only as further objects are needed.
- Require that objects be essential for either fault or configuration management.
- Consider evidence of current use and/or utility.
- Limit the total number of objects.
- Exclude objects that are simply derivable from others in this or other MIB modules.
- Avoid causing critical sections to be heavily instrumented. The guideline that was followed is one counter per critical section per layer.
3.1 Structure of the MIB Module
-
Objects in this MIB module are arranged into subtrees. Each subtree is organized as a set of related objects. The overall structure and assignment of objects to their subtrees is shown below. Where appropriate, the corresponding IEEE 802.1D [IEEE8021D] management object name is also included.

3.1.1 The dot1dBase Subtree
-
This subtree contains the objects that are applicable to all types of bridges.
3.1.2 The dot1dStp Subtree
-
This subtree contains the objects that denote the bridge's state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implement the Spanning Tree Protocol, this subtree will not be implemented.
3.1.3 The dot1dSr Subtree
-
This subtree contains the objects that describe the entity's state with respect to source route bridging. This subtree described in RFC 1525 [RFC1525] is applicable only to source route bridging.
3.1.4 The dot1dTp Subtree
-
This subtree contains objects that describe the entity's state with respect to transparent bridging. If transparent bridging is not supported, this subtree will not be implemented. This subtree is applicable to transparent-only and SRT bridges.
3.1.5 The dot1dStatic Subtree
-
This subtree contains objects that describe the entity's state with respect to destination-address filtering. If destination-address filtering is not supported, this subtree will not be implemented. This subtree is applicable to any type of bridge that performs destination-address filtering.
3.2 Relationship to Other MIB Modules
-
As described above, some IEEE 802.1D management objects have not been included in this MIB module because they overlap with objects in other MIB modules that are applicable to a bridge implementing this MIB module.
3.2.1 Relationship to the SNMPv2-MIB
-
The SNMPv2-MIB [RFC3418] defines objects that are generally applicable to managed devices. These objects apply to the device as a whole, irrespective of whether the device's sole functionality is bridging, or whether bridging is only a subset of the device's functionality.
As explained in Section 3.1, full support for the 802.1D management objects requires that the SNMPv2-MIB objects sysDescr and sysUpTime be implemented. Note that compliance with the current SNMPv2-MIB module requires additional objects and notifications to be implemented, as specified in RFC 3418 [RFC3418].
3.2.2 Relationship to the IF-MIB
-
The IF-MIB [RFC2863] defines managed objects for managing network interfaces. A network interface is thought of as being attached to a `subnetwork'. Note that this term is not to be confused with `subnet', which refers to an addressing partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of protocols. The term 'segment' is used in this memo to refer to such a subnetwork, whether it be an Ethernet segment, a 'ring', a WAN link, or even an X.25 virtual circuit.
As explained in Section 3.1, full support for the 802.1D management objects requires that the IF-MIB objects ifIndex, ifType, ifDescr, ifPhysAddress, and ifLastChange are implemented. Note that compliance to the current IF-MIB module requires additional objects and notifications to be implemented as specified in RFC 2863 [RFC2863].
Implicit in this BRIDGE-MIB is the notion of ports on a bridge. Each of these ports is associated with one interface of the 'interfaces' subtree, and in most situations, each port is associated with a different interface. However, there are situations in which multiple ports are associated with the same interface. An example of such a situation would be several ports, each corresponding, one-to-one, with several X.25 virtual circuits that are all on the same interface.
Each port is uniquely identified by a port number. A port number has no mandatory relationship to an interface number, but in the simple case, a port number will have the same value as the corresponding interface's interface number. Port numbers are in the range (1..dot1dBaseNumPorts).
Some entities perform other functionalities as well as bridging through the sending and receiving of data on their interfaces. In such situations, only a subset of the data sent/received on an interface is within the domain of the entity's bridging functionality. This subset is considered to be delineated according to a set of protocols, with some protocols being bridged, and other protocols not being bridged. For example, in an entity that exclusively performs bridging, all protocols would be considered as bridged, whereas in an entity that performs IP routing on IP datagrams and only bridges other protocols, only the non-IP data would be considered as having been bridged.
Thus, this BRIDGE-MIB (and in particular, its counters) are applicable only to that subset of the data on an entity's interfaces that is sent/received for a protocol being bridged. All such data is sent/received via the ports of the bridge.

DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) timer in units of 1/100 seconds. Several objects in this MIB module represent values of timers used by the Spanning Tree Protocol. In this MIB, these timers have values in units of hundredths of a second (i.e., 1/100 secs).-
-
These timers, when stored in a Spanning Tree Protocol's BPDU, are in units of 1/256 seconds. Note, however, that 802.1D-1998 specifies a settable granularity of no more than one second for these timers. To avoid ambiguity, a conversion algorithm is defined below for converting between the different units, which ensures a timer's value is not distorted by multiple conversions.
-
-
To convert a Timeout value into a value in units of
1/256 seconds, the following algorithm should be used:
-
b = floor( (n * 256) / 100)
-
-
where:
-
-
floor = quotient [ignore remainder]
n is the value in 1/100 second units
b is the value in 1/256 second units
To convert the value from 1/256 second units back to
1/100 seconds, the following algorithm should be used:
-
n = ceiling( (b * 100) / 256)
-
-
where:
-
-
ceiling = quotient [if remainder is 0], or
quotient + 1 [if remainder is nonzero]
n is the value in 1/100 second units
b is the value in 1/256 second units
-
Note: it is important that the arithmetic operations are done in the order specified (i.e., multiply first, divide second)."

5. IANA Considerations
-
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values that are recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value ---------- ----------------------- dot1dBridge { mib-2 17 }
6. Security Considerations
-
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
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 thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP.
These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
- The writable objects dot1dStpPriority, dot1dStpBridgeMaxAge, dot1dStpBridgeHelloTime, dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay, dot1dStpPortPriority, dot1dStpPortEnable, dot1dStpPortPathCost, and dot1dStpPortPathCost32 influence the spanning tree protocol. Unauthorized write access to these objects can cause the spanning tree protocol to compute other default topologies or it can change the speed in which the spanning tree protocol reacts to failures.
- The writable object dot1dTpAgingTime controls how fast dynamically-learned forwarding information is aged out. Setting this object to a large value may simplify forwarding table overflow attacks.
- The writable dot1dStaticTable provides a filtering mechanism controlling to which ports frames originating from a specific source may be forwarded. Write access to this table can be used to turn provisioned filtering off or to add filters to prevent rightful use of the network.
- The readable objects defined in the BRIDGE-MIB module provide information about the topology of a bridged network and the attached active stations. The addresses listed in the dot1dTpFdbTable usually reveal information about the manufacturer of the MAC hardware, which can be useful information for mounting other specific attacks.
- The two notifications newRoot and topologyChange are emitted during spanning tree computation and may trigger management systems to inspect the status of bridges and to recompute internal topology information. Hence, forged notifications may cause management systems to perform unnecessary computations and to generate additional SNMP traffic directed to the bridges in a network. Therefore, forged notifications may be part of a denial of service attack.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy).
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.

9. Changes from RFC 1493
-
The following changes have been made from RFC 1493.
- Translated the MIB definitions to use SMIv2. This includes the introduction of conformance statements. ASN.1 type definitions have been converted into textual-conventions and several UNITS clauses were added.
- The object dot1dStpPortPathCost32 was added to support IEEE 802.1t.
- Permissible values for dot1dStpPriority and dot1dStpPortPriority have been clarified for bridges supporting IEEE 802.1t or IEEE 802.1w.
- Interpretation of dot1dStpTimeSinceTopologyChange has been clarified for bridges supporting the rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP).
- Updated the introductory boilerplate text, the security considerations section, and the references to comply with the current IETF standards and guidelines.
- Updated references to point to newer IEEE 802.1d documents.
- Additions and clarifications in various description clauses.
