Internet-Draft IP MCAST MIB July 2006
1. Introduction
This MIB describes objects used for managing IP multicast function,
including IP multicast routing. These objects are independent of the
specific multicast routing protocol in use. Managed objects specific
to particular multicast protocols are defined elsewhere.
2. History
This document obsoletes [RFC2932]. The MIB module defined by this
document is a re-working of the MIB module from [RFC2932], with
changes that include the following.
o This MIB module is includes support for IPv6 addressing and the
IPv6 scoped address architecture. [RFC2932] supported only IPv4.
o This MIB module allows several multicast protocols to perform
routing on a single interface, where [RFC2932] assumed each
interface supported at most one multicast routing protocol.
o This MIB module includes objects that are not specific to
multicast routing. It allows management of multicast function on
systems that do not perform routing, whereas RFC 2932 was
restricted to multicast routing.
o This MIB module includes a table of Source-Specific Multicast
(SSM) address ranges to which SSM semantics [RFC3569] should be
applied.
o This MIB module includes a table of local applications that are
receiving multicast data.
o This MIB module includes a table of multicast scope zones.
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].
3. 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
[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
McWalter, et al. Expires January 18, 2007 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IP MCAST MIB July 2006
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
([RFC2578], [RFC2579] and [RFC2580]).
4. Overview
This MIB module contains two scalars and seven tables. The tables
are:
1. The IP Multicast Interface Table containing multicast information
specific to interfaces.
2. The IP Multicast SSM Range Table, which contains one row per
range of multicast group addresses to which Source-Specific
Multicast semantics [RFC3569] should be applied.
3. The IP Multicast Route Table containing multicast routing
information for IP datagrams sent by particular sources to the IP
multicast groups known to a system.
4. The IP Multicast Routing Next Hop Table containing information on
next-hops for the routing of IP multicast datagrams. Each entry
is one of a list of next-hops on outgoing interfaces for
particular sources sending to a particular multicast group
address.
5. The IP Multicast Scope Boundary Table containing the boundaries
configured for multicast scopes [RFC2365].
6. The IP Multicast Scope Name Table containing human-readable names
of multicast scope.
7. The IP Multicast Local Listener Table containing identifiers for
local applications that are receiving multicast data.
This MIB module uses textual conventions defined in the IF-MIB
[RFC2863], the INET-ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001] and the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB.

REVISION "200607170000Z" -- 17 July 2006
DESCRIPTION
"Changes from RFC 2932:
1) This MIB module is independent of address type, whereas
RFC 2932 only supported IPv4.
2) This MIB module allows several multicast protocols to
perform routing on a single interface, whereas RFC 2932
assumed each interface supported at most one multicast
routing protocol. This MIB module retains but deprecates
the object ipMcastInterfaceProtocol.
3) This MIB module includes objects that are not specific to
multicast routing. It allows management of multicast
function on systems that do not perform routing, whereas
RFC 2932 was restricted to multicast routing.
4) This MIB module includes a table of Source-Specific
Multicast (SSM) address ranges to which RFC 3569 SSM
semantics should be applied.
5) This MIB module includes a table of local applications
that are receiving multicast data.

LanguageTag ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "99a"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A language tag with all alphabetic characters converted to
lowercase. This restriction is intended to make the lexical
ordering imposed by SNMP useful when applied to language
tags. Note that it is theoretically possible for a valid
language tag to exceed the allowed length of this syntax,
and thus be impossible to represent with this syntax.
Sampling of language tags in current use on the Internet
suggests that this limit does not pose a serious problem in
practice."

6. Security Considerations
McWalter, et al. Expires January 18, 2007 [Page 45]
Internet-Draft IP MCAST MIB July 2006
6.1 SNMPv2
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secured (for example by using IPSec),
there is still no control over whom on the secure network is allowed
to access (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 access (read/change/create/delete) them.
6.2 Writeable objects
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. This
section discusses and lists these elements.
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.
In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by SET
operations on writeable objects include:
o Modifications multicast routing behavior that prevent or disrupt
services provided by the network, including (but not limited to)
multicast data traffic delivery.
o Modifications multicast routing behavior that allow interception
or subversion of information that is carried by the network. For
example, attacks can be envisaged that would pass nominated
multicast data streams through a nominated location, without the
sources or listeners becoming aware of this subversion.
The following are the read-write and read-create objects defined in
this MIB module.

6.3 Readable objects
As well as the writeable objects discussed above, there are a number
of readable objects (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-
accessible) that 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.
In this MIB module, possible effects that can be induced by GET
and/or NOTIFY operations include:
o Determination of the topology, disposition, and composition of the
network. This information may be commercially sensitive, and may
also be used in preparation for attacks, including any of the
McWalter, et al. Expires January 18, 2007 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft IP MCAST MIB July 2006
attacks described above.
o Determinion of whether multicast data is flowing in the network,
or has flowed recently, as well as the locations of senders and
recipients. An attacker can apply 'traffic analysis' to this
data. In some cases, the information revealed by traffic analyses
can be as damaging as full knowledge of the data being
transported.
7. IANA Considerations
IP-MCAST-MIB should be rooted under the mib-2 subtree. IANA is
requested to assign { mib-2 XXX } to the IP-MCAST-MIB module
specified in this document.
8. Acknowledgements
This MIB module is based on the original work in [RFC2932] by K.
McCloghrie, D. Farinacci and D. Thaler.
Suggested IPv6 multicast MIBs by R. Sivaramu and R. Raghunarayan have
been used for comparison while editing this MIB module.
The authors are also grateful to Bill Fenner for fine ideas, and to
Bharat Joshi for input and several corrections.
