In particular, it describes managed objects related to the forwarding of Internet Protocol (IP) packets in an IP version- independent manner. This document obsoletes RFC 2096.

1. Introduction
-
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use in managing objects related to the forwarding of Internet Protocol (IP) packets in an IP version-independent manner.
It should be noted that the MIB definition described herein does not support multiple instances based on the same address family type. However, it does support an instance of the MIB per address family.
2. Conventions Used In This Document
-
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 RFC 2119 [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 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].
4. Overview
-
The MIB consists of one current table and two current global objects.
-
- The object inetCidrRouteNumber indicates the number of current routes. This is primarily to avoid having to read the table in order to determine this number.
- The object inetCidrRouteDiscards counts the number of valid routes that were discarded from inetCidrRouteTable for any reason. This object replaces the ipRoutingDiscards and ipv6DiscardedRoutes objects.
- The inetCidrRouteTable provides the ability to display IP version-independent multipath CIDR routes.
-
4.1. Relationship to Other MIBs
-
This MIB definition contains several deprecated and obsolete tables and objects. The following subsections describe the relationship between these objects and other MIB modules.
4.1.1. RFC 1213
-
The ipRouteTable object was originally defined in RFC 1213 [RFC1213]. It was updated by ipForwardTable in RFC 1354 [RFC1354].
4.1.2. RFC 1354
-
The ipForwardTable object replaced the ipRouteTable object from RFC 1213. It was in turn obsoleted by the ipCidrRouteTable defined in RFC 2096 [RFC2096].
In addition, RFC 1354 introduced ipForwardNumber. This object reflects the number of entries found in ipForwardTable. It was obsoleted by ipCidrRouteNumber, defined in RFC 2096.
4.1.3. RFC 2096
-
In RFC 2096, the ipCidrRouteTable and ipCidrRouteNumber were introduced. The ipCidrRouteTable object supports multipath IP routes having the same network number but differing network masks. The number of entries in that table is reflected in ipCidrRouteNumber. These objects are deprecated by the definitions contained in this MIB definition.
4.1.4. RFC 2011 and 2465
-
RFC 2011 [RFC2011] contains the ipRoutingDiscards object, which counts the number of valid routes that have been removed from the ipCidrRouteTable object. The corresponding ipv6DiscardedRoutes object is defined in RFC 2465 [RFC2465]. These objects are deprecated in favor of the version-independent object inetCidrRouteDiscards defined in this MIB.

REVISION "200602010000Z" DESCRIPTION "IPv4/v6 version-independent revision. Minimal changes were made to the original RFC 2096 MIB to allow easy upgrade of existing IPv4 implementations to the version-independent MIB. These changes include:-
-
-
Adding inetCidrRouteDiscards as a replacement for the deprecated ipRoutingDiscards and ipv6DiscardedRoutes objects.
Adding a new conformance statement to support the implementation of the IP Forwarding MIB in a read-only mode.
The inetCidrRouteTable replaces the IPv4-specific ipCidrRouteTable, its related objects, and related conformance statements.

6. Security Considerations
-
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with 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. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
-
- The inetCidrRouteTable contains routing and forwarding information that is critical to the operation of the network node (especially routers). Allowing unauthenticated write access to this table can compromise the validity of the forwarding information.
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 inetCidrRouteTable contains routing and forwarding information that can be used to compromise a network.
-
Specifically, this table can be used to construct a map of the network in preparation for a denial-of-service attack on the network infrastructure.
- The inetCidrRouteProto object identifies the routing protocols in use within a network. This information can be used to determine how a denial-of-service attack should be launched.
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.

7. Changes from RFC 2096
-
This document obsoletes RFC 2096 in the following ways:
-
- Replaces ipCidrRouteTable with inetCidrRouteTable. This applies to corresponding objects and conformance statements.
- Utilizes the InetAddress TC to support IP version-independent implementations of the forwarding MIB. This gives common forwarding MIB support for IPv4 and IPv6.
- Creates a read-only conformance statement to support implementations that only wish to retrieve data.
- Creates the inetCidrRouteDiscards object to replace the deprecated ipRoutingDiscards and ipv6DiscardedRoutes objects.
The inetCidrRouteTable retains the logical structure of the ipCidrRouteTable in order to allow the easy upgrade of existing IPv4 implementations to the version-independent MIB.
