1. Introduction

 This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
 for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
 In particular, it describes objects for configuring aspects of a
 process implementing Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF) [RFC6621]
 for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs).  SMF provides multicast
 Duplicate Packet Detection (DPD) and supports algorithms for
 constructing an estimate of a MANET Minimum Connected Dominating Set
 (MCDS) for efficient multicast forwarding.  The SMF-MIB module also
 reports state information, performance information, and
 notifications.  In addition to configuration, this additional state
 and performance information is useful to operators troubleshooting
 multicast forwarding problems.

2. 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].

3. Conventions

 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 RFC
 2119 [RFC2119].

4. Overview

 SMF provides methods for implementing DPD-based multicast forwarding
 with the optional use of CDS-based relay sets.  The CDS provides a
 complete connected coverage of the nodes comprising the MANET.  The
 MCDS is the smallest set of MANET nodes (comprising a connected
 cluster) that cover all the nodes in the cluster with their
 transmissions.  As the density of the MANET nodes increase, the
 fraction of nodes required in an MCDS decreases.  Using the MCDS as a
 multicast forwarding set then becomes an efficient multicast
 mechanism for MANETs.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 3] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 Various algorithms for the construction of estimates of the MCDS
 exist.  The Simplified Multicast Framework [RFC6621] describes some
 of these.  It further defines various operational modes for a node
 that is participating in the collective creation of the MCDS
 estimates.  These modes depend upon the set of related MANET routing
 and discovery protocols and mechanisms in operation in the specific
 MANET node.
 A SMF router's MIB module contains SMF process configuration
 parameters (e.g., specific CDS algorithm), state information (e.g.,
 current membership in the CDS), performance counters (e.g., packet
 counters), and notifications.

4.1. SMF Management Model

 This section describes the management model for the SMF node process.
 Figure 1 (reproduced from Figure 1 of [RFC6621]) shows the
 relationship between the SMF Relay Set Selection Algorithm and the
 related algorithms, processes, and protocols running in the MANET
 nodes.  The Relay Set Selection Algorithm (RSSA) can rely upon
 topology information acquired from the MANET Neighborhood Discovery
 Protocol (NHDP), from the specific MANET routing protocol running on
 the node, or from Layer 2 information passed up to the higher layer
 protocol processes.

4.2. Terms

 The following definitions apply throughout this document:
 Configuration Objects:  switches, tables, and objects that are
    initialized to default settings or set through the management
    interfaces such as defined by this MIB module.
 Tunable Configuration Objects:  objects whose values affect timing or
    attempt bounds on the SMF Relay Set (RS) process.
 State Objects:  automatically generated values that define the
    current operating state of the SMF RS process in the router.
 Performance Objects:  automatically generated values that help an
    administrator or automated tool to assess the performance of the
    CDS multicast process on the router and the overall multicast
    performance within the MANET routing domain.

5. Structure of the MIB Module

 This section presents the structure of the SMF-MIB module.  The
 objects are arranged into the following groups:
 o  smfMIBNotifications - defines the notifications associated with
    the SMF process.
 o  smfMIBObjects - defines the objects forming the basis for the SMF-
    MIB module.  These objects are divided up by function into the
    following groups:
  • Capabilities Group - This group contains the SMF objects that

the device uses to advertise its local capabilities with

       respect to, e.g., the supported RSSAs.
  • Configuration Group - This group contains the SMF objects that

configure specific options that determine the overall operation

       of the SMF process and the resulting multicast performance.
  • State Group - Contains information describing the current state

of the SMF process such as the Neighbor Table.

  • Performance Group - Contains objects that help to characterize

the performance of the SMF process, typically counters for

       statistical computations.
 o  smfMIBConformance - defines two, i.e., minimal and full,
    conformance implementations for the SMF-MIB module.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 5] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

5.1. Textual Conventions

 The Textual Conventions defined within the SMF-MIB module:
 o  The SmfStatus is defined within the SMF-MIB module.  This contains
    the current operational status of the SMF process on an interface.
 The Textual Conventions defined for the SMF-MIB module and maintained
 by IANA are:
 o  The IANAsmfOpModeIdTC represents an index that identifies a
    specific SMF operational mode.  This Textual Convention is
    maintained by IANA in the IANA-SMF-MIB.
 o  The IANAsmfRssaIdTC represents an index that identifies, through
    reference, a specific RSSA available for operation on the device.
    This Textual Convention is maintained by IANA also in the IANA-
    SMF-MIB.

5.2. The Capabilities Group

 The SMF device supports a set of capabilities.  The list of
 capabilities that the device can advertise is as follows:
 o  Operational Mode - topology information from NHDP, CDS-aware
    unicast routing, or Cross-layer from Layer 2.
 o  SMF RSSA - the specific RSSA operational on the device.  Note that
    configuration, state, and performance objects related to a
    specific RSSA must be defined within a separate MIB module.

5.3. The Configuration Group

 The SMF device is configured with a set of controls.  Some of the
 prominent configuration controls for the SMF device are:
 o  Operational Mode - determines from where topology information is
    derived, e.g., NHDP, CDS-aware unicast routing, or Cross-layer
    from Layer 2.
 o  SMF RSSA - the specific RSSA operational on the device.
 o  Duplicate Packet detection for IPv4 - Identification-based or
    Hash-based DPD (I-DPD or H-DPD, respectively).
 o  Duplicate Packet detection for IPv6 - Identification-based or
    Hash-based DPD.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 6] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 o  SMF Type Message TLV - if NHDP mode is selected, then the SMF Type
    Message TLV MAY be included in the NHDP exchanges.
 o  SMF Address Block TLV - if NHDP mode is selected, then the SMF
    Address Block TLV SHOULD be included in the NHDP exchanges.
 o  SMF Address Forwarding Table - a table identifying configured
    multicast addresses to be forwarded by the SMF process.

5.4. The State Group

 The State sub-tree reports current state information, for example,
 o  Node RSSA State - identifies whether the node is currently in or
    out of the Relay Set.
 o  Neighbors Table - a table containing current one-hop neighbors and
    their operational RSSA.

5.5. The Performance Group

 The Performance sub-tree primarily reports counters that relate to
 SMF RSSA performance.  The SMF performance counters consist of per-
 node and per-interface objects:
 o  Total multicast packets received.
 o  Total multicast packets forwarded.
 o  Total duplicate multicast packets detected.
 o  Per interface statistics table with the following entries:
  • Multicast packets received.
  • Multicast packets forwarded.
  • Duplicate multicast packets detected.

5.6. The Notifications Group

 The Notifications sub-tree contains the list of notifications
 supported within the SMF-MIB module and their intended purpose and
 utility.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 7] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

5.7. Tables and Indexing

 The SMF-MIB module contains a number of tables that record data
 related to:
 o  configuration and operation of packet forwarding on the local
    router,
 o  configuration and operation of local MANET interfaces on the
    router, and
 o  configuration and operation of various RSSAs for packet
    forwarding.
 The SMF-MIB module's tables are indexed via the following constructs:
 o  smfCapabilitiesIndex - the index identifying the combination of
    SMF mode and SMF RSSA available on this device.
 o  smfCfgAddrForwardingIndex - the index to configured multicast
    address lists that are forwarded by the SMF process.
 o  smfCfgIfIndex - the IfIndex of the interface on the local router
    on which SMF is configured.
 o  smfStateNeighborIpAddrType, smfStateNeighborIpAddr, and
    smfStateNeighborPrefixLen - the interface index set of specific
    one-hop neighbor nodes to this local router.
 These tables and their associated indexing are defined in the SMF-MIB
 module:
 o  smfCapabilitiesTable - identifies the resident set of (SMF
    Operational Modes, SMF RSSA algorithms) available on this router.
    This table has 'INDEX { smfCapabilitiesIndex }'.
 o  smfCfgAddrForwardingTable - contains information on multicast
    addresses that are to be forwarded by the SMF process on this
    device.  This table has 'INDEX { smfCfgAddrForwardingIndex }'.
 o  smfCfgInterfaceTable - describes the SMF interfaces on this device
    that are participating in the SMF packet forwarding process.  This
    table has 'INDEX { smfCfgIfIndex }'.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 8] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 o  smfStateNeighborTable - describes the current neighbor nodes,
    their addresses and the SMF RSSA and the interface on which they
    can be reached.  This table has 'INDEX {
    smfStateNeighborIpAddrType, smfStateNeighborIpAddr,
    smfStateNeighborPrefixLen }'.
 o  smfPerfIpv4InterfacePerfTable - contains the IPv4-related SMF
    statistics per each SMF interface on this device.  This table has
    'INDEX { smfCfgIfIndex }'.
 o  smfPerfIpv6InterfacePerfTable - contains the IPv6-related SMF
    statistics per each SMF interface on this device.  This table has
    'INDEX { smfCfgIfIndex }'.

6. Relationship to Other MIB Modules

6.1. Relationship to the SNMPv2-MIB

 The 'system' group in the SNMPv2-MIB module [RFC3418] is defined as
 being mandatory for all systems, and the objects apply to the entity
 as a whole.  The 'system' group provides identification of the
 management entity and certain other system-wide data.  The SMF-MIB
 module does not duplicate those objects.

6.2. Relationship to the IP-MIB

 It is an expectation that SMF devices will implement the standard IP-
 MIB module [RFC4293].  Exactly how to integrate SMF packet handling
 and management into the standard IP-MIB module management are part of
 the experiment.
 The SMF-MIB module counters within the smfPerformanceGroup count
 packets handled by the system and interface local SMF process (as
 discussed above).  Not all IP (unicast and multicast) packets on a
 device interface are handled by the SMF process.  So the counters are
 tracking different packet streams in the IP-MIB and SMF-MIB modules.

6.3. Relationship to the IPMCAST-MIB

 The smfCfgAddrForwardingTable is essentially a filter table (if
 populated) that identifies addresses/packets to be forwarded via the
 local SMF flooding process.  The IP Multicast MIB module in RFC 5132
 [RFC5132] manages objects related to standard IP multicast, which
 could be running in parallel to SMF on the device.
 RFC 5132 manages traditional IP-based multicast (based upon multicast
 routing mechanisms).  The SMF-MIB module provides management for a
 MANET subnet-based flooding mechanism which, may be used for

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 9] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 multicast transport (through SMF broadcast) depending upon the MANET
 dynamics and other factors regarding the MANET subnet.  Further, they
 may coexist in certain MANET deployments using the
 smfCfgAddrForwardingTable to hand certain IP multicast addresses to
 the SMF process and other IP multicast packets to be forwarded by
 other multicast mechanisms that are IP route based.  SMF and the
 associated SMF-MIB module are experimental and these are some of the
 experiments to be had with SMF and the SMF-MIB module.

6.4. MIB Modules Required for IMPORTS

 The objects imported for use in the SMF-MIB module are as follows.
 The MODULE-IDENTITY, OBJECT-TYPE, NOTIFICATION-TYPE, Counter32,
 Integer32, TimeTicks and experimental macros are imported from RFC
 2578 [RFC2578].  The TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, RowStatus, and TruthValue
 macros are imported from RFC 2579 [RFC2579].  The MODULE-COMPLIANCE,
 OBJECT-GROUP, and NOTIFICATION-GROUP macros are imported from RFC
 2580 [RFC2580].  The InterfaceIndexOrZero and ifName textual
 conventions are imported from RFC 2863 [RFC2863].  The
 SnmpAdminString textual convention is imported from RFC 3411
 [RFC3411].  The InetAddress, InetAddressType, and
 InetAddressPrefixLength textual conventions are imported from RFC
 4001 [RFC4001].

6.5. Relationship to Future RSSA-MIB Modules

 In a sense, the SMF-MIB module is a general front-end to a set of
 yet-to-be developed RSSA-specific MIB modules.  These RSSA-specific
 MIB modules will define the objects for the configuration, state,
 performance and notification required for the operation of these
 specific RSSAs.  The SMF-MIB module Capabilities Group allows the
 remote management station the ability to query the router to discover
 the set of supported RSSAs.

       "The smfCfgAddrForwardingTable is essentially a filter
        table (if populated) that identifies addresses/packets
        to be forwarded via the local SMF flooding process.
        The IP Multicast MIB module in RFC 5132 manages objects
        related to standard IP multicast, which could be running
        in parallel to SMF on the device.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 22] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

        RFC 5132 manages traditional IP-based multicast (based
        upon multicast routing mechanisms).  The SMF-MIB module
        provides management for a MANET subnet-based flooding
        mechanism that may be used for multicast transport
        (through SMF broadcast) depending upon the MANET dynamics
        and other factors regarding the MANET subnet.  Further,
        they may coexist in certain MANET deployments
        using the smfCfgAddrForwardingTable to hand certain IP
        multicast addresses to the SMF process and other IP
        multicast packets to be forwarded by other
        multicast mechanisms that are IP route based.  SMF and
        the associated SMF-MIB module are experimental and these
        are some of the experiments to be had with SMF and
        the SMF-MIB module.
        This is the (conceptual) table containing information on
        multicast addresses that are to be forwarded by the SMF
        process.  This table represents an IP filters table for
        forwarding (or not) packets based upon their IP
        multicast address.
        The SMF process can be configured to forward only those
        multicast addresses found within the
        smfCfgAddrForwardingTable.  As such, addresses that are
        to be forwarded by the SMF process MUST be found within
        the address ranges configured within this table, unless
        this table is empty.
        Each row is associated with a range of multicast
        addresses, and ranges for different rows must be disjoint.
        Different rows MAY share a common
        smfCfgAddrForwardingGroupName to administratively
        associate different rows.
        The objects in this table are persistent and, when written,

    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
       "The SMF Interface Table describes the SMF
        interfaces that are participating in the
        SMF packet forwarding process.  The ifIndex is
        from the interfaces group defined in the
        Interfaces Group MIB module (RFC 2863).  As such,
        this table 'sparse augments' the ifTable
        specifically when SMF is to be configured to
        operate over this interface.
        A conceptual row in this table exists if and only
        if either a manager has explicitly created the row
        or there is an interface on the managed device
        that automatically supports and runs SMF as part
        of the device's initialization process.
        The manager creates a row in this table by setting
        the rowStatus to 'createAndGo' or 'createAndWait'.
        Row objects having associated DEFVAL clauses are

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 26] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

        automatically defined by the agent with these
        values during row creation, unless the manager
        explicitly defines these object values during the
        row creation.
        As the smfCfgInterfaceTable sparsely augments the
        IfTable.  Hence,
           + an entry cannot exist in smfCfgInterfaceTable
             without a corresponding entry in the ifTable.
           + if an entry in the ifTable is removed, the
             corresponding entry (if it exists) in the
             smfCfgInterfaceTable MUST be removed.
           + the smfCfgIfStatus can have a value of
             'enabled' or 'disabled' independent of the
             current value of the ifAdminStatus of the
             corresponding entry in the ifTable.
        The values of the objects smfCfgAdminStatus and
        smfCfgIfAdminStatus reflect the up-down status of
        the SMF process running on the device and on the
        specific interfaces, respectively.  Hence,
           + the value of the smfCfgAdminStatus can be
             'enabled' or 'disabled' reflecting the current
             running status of the SMF process on the device.
           + the value of the smfCfgIfAdminStatus can be
             'enabled' or 'disabled' if the value of the
             smfCfgAdminStatus is set to 'enabled'.
           + if the value of the smfCfgAdminStatus is
             'disabled', then the corresponding
             smfCfgIfAdminStatus objects MUST be set
             to 'disabled' in the smfCfgInterfaceTable.
           + once the value of the smfCfgAdminStatus changes
             from 'disabled' to 'enabled', it is up to the
             management system to make the corresponding
             changes to the smfCfgIfAdminStatus values
             back to 'enabled'.

8. IANA-SMF-MIB Definitions

 This section contains the IANA-SMF-MIB module.  This MIB module
 defines two Textual Conventions for which IANA SHOULD maintain and
 keep synchronized with the registry identified below within the
 IANAsmfOpModeIdTC and the IANAsmfRssaIdTC TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONs.
 The IANAsmfOpModeIdTC defines an index that identifies through
 reference to a specific SMF operations mode.  The index is an integer
 valued named-number enumeration consisting of an integer and label.
 IANA is to create and maintain this Textual Convention.  Future
 assignments are made to anyone on a first come, first served basis.
 There is no substantive review of the request, other than to ensure
 that it is well-formed and does not duplicate an existing assignment.
 However, requests must include a minimal amount of clerical
 information, such as a point of contact (including an email address)
 and a brief description of the method being identified as a new SMF
 operations mode.
 The IANAsmfRssaIdTC defines an index that identifies through
 reference to a specific Reduced Set Selection Algorithm (RSSA).  The
 index is an integer valued named-number enumeration consisting of an
 integer and label.  IANA is to create and maintain this Textual
 Convention.
 Future assignments to the IANAsmfRssaIdTC for the index range 5-127
 require an RFC publication (either as an IETF submission or as an
 Independent submission [RFC5742]).  The category of RFC MUST be
 Standards Track.  The specific RSSAs MUST be documented in sufficient
 detail so that interoperability between independent implementations
 is possible.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 51] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 Future assignments to the IANAsmfRssaIdTC for the index range 128-239
 are private or local use only, with the type and purpose defined by
 the local site.  No attempt is made to prevent multiple sites from
 using the same value in different (and incompatible) ways.  There is
 no need for IANA to review such assignments (since IANA will not
 record these), and assignments are not generally useful for broad
 interoperability.  It is the responsibility of the sites making use
 of the Private Use range to ensure that no conflicts occur (within
 the intended scope of use).
 Future assignments to the IANAsmfRssaIdTC for the index range 240-255
 are to facilitate experimentation.  These require an RFC publication
 (either as an IETF submission or as an Independent submission
 [RFC5742]).  The category of RFC MUST be Experimental.  The RSSA
 algorithms MUST be documented in sufficient detail so that
 interoperability between independent implementations is possible.
 This MIB module references [RFC3626], [RFC5614], [RFC6621], and
 [RFC7181].

          Examples of RSSAs already identified within
          this Textual Convention (TC) are:
            Classical Flooding (cF(1)) - is the standard
               flooding algorithm where each node in the next
               retransmits the information on each of its interfaces.
            Source-Based Multipoint Relay (sMPR(2)) -
               this algorithm is used by Optimized Link State Routing
               (OLSR) and OLSR version 2 (OLSRv2) protocols for the
               relay of link state updates and other control
               information (RFC 3626, RFC 7181).  Since each router
               picks its neighboring relays independently, sMPR
               forwarders depend upon previous hop information
               (e.g., source Media Access Control (MAC) address) to
               operate correctly.
            Essential Connected Dominating Set (eCDS(3)) -
               defined in RFC 5614, this algorithm forms a single
               CDS mesh for the SMF operating region.  Its
               packet-forwarding rules are not dependent upon
               previous hop knowledge in contrast to sMPR.
            Multipoint Relay Connected Dominating Set (mprCDS(4)) -
               This algorithm is an extension to the basic sMPR
               election algorithm that results in a shared
               (non-source-specific) SMF CDS.  Thus, its forwarding

               rules are not dependent upon previous hop information,

9. Security Considerations

 This section discusses security implications of the choices made in
 this SMF-MIB module.
 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:
 o  'smfCfgAdminStatus' - this writable configuration object controls
    the operational status of the SMF process.  If this setting is
    configured inconsistently across the MANET multicast domain, then
    delivery of multicast data may be inconsistent across the domain;
    some nodes may not receive multicast data intended for them.
 o  'smfCfgRouterIDAddrType' and 'smfCfgRouterID' - these writable
    configuration objects define the ID of the SMF process.  These
    objects should be configured with a routable address defined on
    the local SMF device.  The smfCfgRouterID is a logical
    identification that MUST be configured as unique across
    interoperating SMF neighborhoods, and it is RECOMMENDED to be
    chosen as the numerically largest address contained in a node's
    'Neighbor Address List' as defined in NHDP.  A smfCfgRouterID MUST
    be unique within the scope of the operating MANET network
    regardless of the method used for selecting it.  If these objects
    are misconfigured or configured inconsistently across the MANET,
    then the ability of various RSSAs, e.g., eCDS, may be compromised.
    This would potentially result in some routers within the MANET not
    receiving multicast packets destine to them.  Hence, intentionally
    misconfiguring these objects could pose a form of Denial-of-
    Service (DoS) attack against the MANET.
 o  'smfCfgOpMode' - this writable configuration object defines the
    operational mode of the SMF process.  The operational mode defines
    how the SMF process receives its data to form its local estimate
    of the CDS.  It is recommended that the value for this object be
    set consistently across the MANET to ensure proper operation of
    the multicast packet forwarding.  If the value for this object is
    set inconsistently across the MANET, the result may be that
    multicast packet delivery will be compromised within the MANET.
    Hence, intentionally misconfiguring this object could pose a form
    DoS attack against the MANET.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 56] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 o  'smfCfgRssa' - this writable configuration object sets the
    specific RSSA for the SMF process.  If this object is set
    inconsistently across the MANET domain, multicast delivery of data
    will likely fail.  Hence, intentionally misconfiguring this object
    could pose a form DoS attack against the MANET.
 o  'smfCfgRssaMember' - this writable configuration object sets the
    'interest' of the local SMF node in participating in the CDS.
    Setting this object to 'never(3)' on a highly connected device
    could lead to frequent island formation.  Setting this object to
    'always(2)' could support data ex-filtration from the MANET
    domain.
 o  'smfCfgIpv4Dpd' - this writable configuration object sets the
    duplicate packet detection method, i.e., H-DPD or I-DPD, for
    forwarding of IPv4 multicast packets.  Forwarders may operate with
    mixed H-DPD and I-DPD modes as long as they consistently perform
    the appropriate DPD routines outlined in [RFC6621].  However, it
    is RECOMMENDED that a deployment be configured with a common mode
    for operational consistency.
 o  'smfCfgIpv6Dpd' - this writable configuration object sets the
    duplicate packet detection method for the forwarding of IPv6
    multicast packets.  Since IPv6 SMF does specify an option header,
    the interoperability constraints are not as loose as in the IPv4
    version, and forwarders SHOULD NOT operate with mixed H-DPD and
    I-DPD modes.  Hence, the value for this object SHOULD be
    consistently set within the forwarders comprising the MANET, else
    inconsistent forwarding may result unnecessary multicast packet
    dropping.
 o  'smfCfgMaxPktLifetime' - this writable configuration object sets
    the estimate of the network packet traversal time.  If set too
    small, this could lead to poor multicast data delivery ratios
    throughout the MANET domain.  This could serve as a form of DoS
    attack if this object value is set too small.
 o  'smfCfgDpdEntryMaxLifetime' - this writable configuration object
    sets the maximum lifetime (in seconds) for the cached DPD records
    for the combined IPv4 and IPv6 methods.  If the memory is running
    low prior to the MaxLifetime being exceeded, the local SMF devices
    should purge the oldest records first.  If this object value is
    set too small, then the effectiveness of the SMF DPD algorithms
    may become greatly diminished causing a higher than necessary
    packet load on the MANET.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 57] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 o  'smfCfgNhdpRssaMesgTLVIncluded' - this writable configuration
    object indicates whether or not the associated NHDP messages
    include the RSSA Message TLV.  It is highly RECOMMENDED that this
    object be set to 'true(1)' when the SMF operation mode is set to
    independent as this information will inform the local forwarder of
    the RSSA implemented in neighboring forwarders and is used to
    ensure consistent forwarding across the MANET.  While it is
    possible that SMF neighbors MAY be configured differently with
    respect to the RSSA and still operate cooperatively, but these
    cases will vary dependent upon the algorithm types designated and
    this situation SHOULD be avoided.
 o  'smfCfgNhdpRssaAddrBlockTLVIncluded' - this writable configuration
    object indicates whether or not the associated NHDP messages
    include the RSSA Address Block TLV.  The
    smfNhdpRssaAddrBlockTLVIncluded is optional in all cases as it
    depends on the existence of an address block that may not be
    present.  If this SMF device is configured with NHDP, then this
    object should be set to 'true(1)' as this TLV enables CDS relay
    algorithm operation and configuration to be shared among 2-hop
    neighborhoods.  Some relay algorithms require 2-hop neighbor
    configuration in order to correctly select relay sets.
 o  'smfCfgAddrForwardingTable' - the writable configuration objects
    in this table indicate which multicast IP addresses are to be
    forwarded by this SMF node.  Misconfiguration of rows within this
    table can limit the ability of this SMF device to properly forward
    multicast data.
 o  'smfCfgInterfaceTable' - the writable configuration objects in
    this table indicate which SMF node interfaces are participating in
    the SMF packet forwarding process.  Misconfiguration of rows
    within this table can limit the ability of this SMF device to
    properly forward multicast data.
 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:
 o  'smfNodeRsStatusIncluded' - this readable state object indicates
    whether or not this SMF node is part of the CDS.  Being part of
    the CDS makes this node a distinguished device.  It could be
    exploited for data ex-filtration, or DoS attacks.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 58] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 o  'smfStateNeighborTable' - the readable state objects in this table
    indicate current neighbor nodes to this SMF node.  Exposing this
    information to an attacker could allow the attacker easier access
    to the larger MANET domain.
 The remainder of the objects in the SMF-MIB module are performance
 counter objects.  While these give an indication of the activity of
 the SMF process on this node, it is not expected that exposing these
 values poses a security risk to the MANET network.
 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.
 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].
 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.

10. Applicability Statement

 This document describes objects for configuring parameters of the
 Simplified Multicast Forwarding [RFC6621] process on a Mobile Ad Hoc
 Network (MANET) router.  This MIB module, denoted SMF-MIB, also
 reports state and performance information and notifications.  This
 section provides some examples of how this MIB module can be used in
 MANET network deployments.  A fuller discussion of MANET network
 management use cases and challenges is out of scope for this
 document.
 SMF is designed to allow MANET routers to forward IPv4 and IPv6
 packets over the MANET and cover the MANET nodes through the
 automatic discovery of efficient estimates of the Minimum Connected
 Dominating Set (MCDS) of nodes within the MANET.  The MCDS is

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 59] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 estimated using the Relay Set Selection Algorithms (RSSAs) discussed
 within this document.  In the following, three scenarios are listed
 where this MIB module is useful:
 o  For a Parking Lot Initial Configuration Situation - it is common
    for the vehicles comprising the MANET being forward deployed at a
    remote location, e.g., the site of a natural disaster, to be off-
    loaded in a parking lot where an initial configuration of the
    networking devices is performed.  The configuration is loaded into
    the devices from a fixed-location Network Operations Center (NOC)
    at the parking lot, and the vehicles are stationary at the parking
    lot while the configuration changes are made.  Standards-based
    methods for configuration management from the co-located NOC are
    necessary for this deployment option.  The set of interesting
    configuration objects for the SMF process are listed within this
    MIB module.
 o  For Mobile vehicles with Low Bandwidth Satellite Link to a Fixed
    NOC - Here the vehicles carrying the MANET routers carry multiple
    wireless interfaces, one of which is a relatively low-bandwidth
    on-the-move satellite connection that interconnects a fix NOC to
    the nodes of the MANET.  Standards-based methods for monitoring
    and fault management from the fixed NOC are necessary for this
    deployment option.
 o  For Fixed NOC and Mobile Local Manager in Larger Vehicles - for
    larger vehicles, a hierarchical network management arrangement is
    useful.  Centralized network management is performed from a fixed
    NOC while local management is performed locally from within the
    vehicles.  Standards-based methods for configuration, monitoring,
    and fault management are necessary for this deployment option.
 Here we provide an example of the simplest of configurations to
 establish an operational multicast forwarding capability in a MANET.
 This discussion only identifies the configuration necessary through
 the SMF-MIB module and assumes that other configuration has occurred.
 Assume that the MANET is to support only IPv4 addressing and that the
 MANET nodes are to be configured in the context of the Parking Lot
 Initialization case above.  Then, the SMF-MIB module defines ten
 configuration OIDs and two configuration tables, i.e., the
 smfCfgAddrForwardingTable and the smfCfgInterfaceTable.  Of the ten
 OIDs defined, all but one, i.e., the smfCfgRouterID, have DEFVAL
 clauses that allow for a functional configuration of the SMF process
 within the MANET.  The smfCfgRouterIDType defaults to 'ipv4' so the
 smfCfgRouterID can be set as, e.g., (assuming the use of the Net-SNMP
 toolkit),:
 snmpset [options] <smfCfgRouterID_OID>.0 a 192.0.2.100

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 60] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

 If the smfCfgAddrForwardingTable is left empty, then the SMF local
 forwarder will forward all multicast addresses.  So this table does
 not require configuration if you want to have the MANET forward all
 multicast addresses.
 All that remains is to configure at least one row in the
 smfCfgInterfaceTable.  Assume that the node has a wireless interface
 with an <ifName>='wlan0' and an <ifIndex>='1'.  All of the objects in
 the rows of the smfCfgInterfaceTable have a DEFVAL clause; hence,
 only the RowStatus object needs to be set.  So the SMF process will
 be activated on the 'wlan0' interface by the following network
 manager snmpset command:
 snmpset [options] <smfCfgIfRowStatus>.1 i active(1)
 At this point, the configured forwarder will begin a Classical
 Flooding algorithm to forward all multicast addresses IPv4 packets it
 receives.
 To provide a more efficient multicast forwarding within the MANET,
 the network manager could walk the smfCapabilitiesTable to identify
 other SMF Operational Modes, for example:
 snmpwalk [options] <smfCapabilitiesTable>
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesOpModeID.1 = INTEGER: cfOnly(1)
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesOpModeiD.2 = INTEGER: independent(2)
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesRssaID.1 = INTEGER: cF(1)
 SMF-MIB::smfCapabilitiesRssaID.2 = INTEGER: eCDS(3)
 In this example, the forwarding device also supports the Essential
 Connected Dominating Set (eCDS) RSSA with the forwarder in the
 'independent(2)' operational mode.  If the network manager were to
 then issue an snmpset, for example:
 snmpset [options] <smfCfgOperationalMode>.0 i 2
 then the local forwarder would switch its forwarding behavior from
 Classical Flooding to the more efficient eCDS flooding.

Cole, et al. Experimental [Page 61] RFC 7367 The SMF-MIB October 2014

11. IANA Considerations

 This document defines two MIB modules:
 1.  SMF-MIB is defined in Section 7 and is an experimental MIB
     module.
 2.  IANA-SMF-MIB is defined in Section 8 and is an IANA MIB module
     that IANA maintains.
 Thus, IANA has completed three actions:
 IANA has allocated an OBJECT IDENTIFIER value and recorded it in the
 SMI Numbers registry in the subregistry called "SMI Experimental
 Codes" under the experimental branch (1.3.6.1.3).
            Decimal | Name    | Description   | Reference
            --------+---------+---------------+------------
             126    | smfMib  | SMF-MIB       | [RFC7367]
 IANA has allocated an OBJECT IDENTIFIER value and recorded it in the
 SMI Numbers registry in the subregistry called "SMI Network
 Management MGMT Codes Internet-standard MIB" under the mib-2 branch
 (1.3.6.1.2.1).
            Decimal | Name          | Description     | Reference
            --------+---------------+-----------------+------------
             225    | ianaSmfMIB    | IANA-SMF-MIB    | [RFC7367]
 IANA maintains a MIB module called ianaSmfMIB and has populated it
 with the initial MIB module defined in Section 8 of this document by
 creating a new entry in the registry "IANA Maintained MIBs" called
 "IANA-SMF-MIB".
