Abstract

  The purpose of this memo is to define the Management Information Base
  (MIB) for supporting Classical IP and ARP over ATM as specified in
  Classical IP and ARP over ATM, refer to reference [3].  Support of an
  ATM interface by an IP layer will require implementation of objects
  from several Management Information Bases (MIBs) as well as their
  enhancement in order to enable usage of ATM transports.  It is the
  intent of this MIB to fully adhere to all prerequisite MIBs unless
  explicitly stated.  Deviations will be documented in corresponding
  conformance statements.  The specification of this MIB will utilize
  the Structure of Management Information (SMI) for Version 2 of the
  Simple Network Management Protocol Version (refer to RFC 1902,
  reference [1]).

1.  Introduction

  This document is a product of the Internetworking Over NBMA Working
  Group.  Its purpose is to define a MIB module for extending the
  traditional MIBs supported by a TCP/IP implementation to support
  Classical IP and ARP over ATM.

  Many MIB related RFCs and Internet Drafts have been considered in the
  development of this document.  The ones that are considered central to
  the extensions defined by this document are:

         o RFC 2011 -  SNMPv2 Management Information Base for the
                   Internet Protocol using SMIv2 [9].  The IP over ATM
                   (IPOA) MIB provides extensions to the IP Group for
                   handling IP over ATM flows.  A basic understanding of
                   the IP Group is essential for understanding this
                   document.







Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 2]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


         o RFC 2233 - The Interfaces Group MIB (IF-MIB) using SMIv2,
                   reference [2].  This document is important since it
                   provides several very useful enhancements over the
                   interface group defined in RFC 1213 (reference [5])
                   that aid in handling ATM related interfaces.

         o RFC 1695 - Definitions of Managed Objects for ATM Management
                   [4] (ATM-MIB).  Support of this MIB is REQUIRED for
                   implementing the layers between AAL5 and ATM.  The
                   contents of this MIB will not explicitly be addressed
                   here.  The ATM-MIB provides a basis for managing ATM
                   interface layering and management of:

                    - ATM Switched Virtual Connections (SVCs)
                    - ATM Permanent Virtual Connections (PVCs)

  The ATM Forum UNI ILMI MIB is specified by the ATM Forum in various
  versions of the UNI specification.  The ILMI MIBs being defined are
  not supported via SNMP agents but via SNMP requests sent over an ATM
  network to an ATM entity encapsulated in an AAL5 header.  Support of
  the ILMI MIB(s) is considered out of the scope of 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, reference
  [10].


2.  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

  The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of seven major
  components.  They are:

  o RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
    describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

  o RFC 1903 [6] defines textual conventions for SNMPv2.

  o RFC 1904 [8] defines conformance statements for SNMPv2.

  o RFC 1905 [7] defines transport mappings for SNMPv2.

  o RFC 1906 [12] defines the protocol operations used for network
    access to managed objects.

  o RFC 1907 [13] defines the Management Information Base for SNMPv2.

  o RFC 1908 [14] specifies coexistence between SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.



Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 3]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
  experimentation and evaluation.

  This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SNMPv2 SMI.
  A semantically identical MIB conforming to the SNMPv1 SMI can be
  produced through the appropriate translation.


2.1.  Object Definitions

  Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
  the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
  defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
  defined in the SMI.  In particular, each object type is named by an
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name.  The object type
  together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a
  specific instantiation of the object.  For human convenience, we often
  use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the object
  type.


3.  Structure of the MIB

  The Classical ARP and IP over ATM (IPOA) MIB structure is split into
  three components:

    o Basic Support MIB Definitions
    o Client Supported MIB Definitions
    o Server Supported MIB Definitions

  All IP and ARP over ATM entities, both clients and ATMARP Servers, are
  REQUIRED to support the MIB definitions in the Basic Support MIB
  Definitions section.  Clients need to additionally support the MIB
  definitions outlined in the Client specific section and ATMARP Servers
  MUST additionally support the ATMARP Server specific MIB definitions.

  Implementation of the Definitions of Managed Objects for ATM
  Management [4] defines the modeling of the various layers within an
  ATM Interface.  This modeling is assumed as a prerequisite for the
  IPOA-MIB.  The IPOA-MIB makes no assumptions on how this layering is
  actually implemented within a system.  Several of the MIB tables
  defined by the IPOA-MIB, like the base TCP/IP MIBs, require that an
  ifIndex exist that points to an ATM Interface.  Refer to the ATM-MIB
  [4] for the definition of ATM Interface layering.

  The use of an IP over ATM Virtual Interface layer is NOT explicitly
  REQUIRED by the IPOA-MIB.  The use of virtual layers above an ATM-MIB
  defined interface layer is not absolutely necessary for modeling the



Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 4]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  attachment of IP to an ATM network.  The IPOA-MIB refers to use of a
  generic ifIndex object, whose value SHOULD reflect that of some
  specific ATM related interface as determined by an implementation.  It
  is up to the implementers of this MIB to determine their own ATM
  interface layering (assuming compliance with the IF-MIB and the ATM-
  MIB).

  The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) ifType ipOverAtm(114)
  was created for use by systems that require a virtual IP over ATM
  interface layer.  The IF-MIB's ifStackTable SHOULD be used to show the
  relationship between virtual IP over ATM interfaces and the actual ATM
  physical interface layers.  The current set of ifType values can be
  accessed via the IANA homepage at: "http://www.iana.org/iana/".


3.1.  Basic Support MIB Definitions

  Basic support that MUST be implemented by both Clients and ATMARP
  Servers consists of:

    o ATM Logical IP Subnet (LIS) Table
    o ATM Logical IP Subnet Interface Mapping Table
    o ATMARP Remote Server Table
    o ATM VC Table
    o ATM Config PVC Table
    o Notifications


3.1.1.  ATM Logical IP Subnet (LIS) Table

  The ATM Logical IP Subnet (LIS) Table defines the subnets that this
  system is a member of for purposes of reaching destinations over an
  ATM transport.  The LIS table is indexed by the subnet address
  (ipoaLisSubnetAddr) and not ifIndex.  The ipoaLisIfMappingTable
  described in the next section provides the mapping between Logical IP
  Subnets and the interface layer.  It is possible that the same LIS can
  be reached via different ATM interfaces.

  The ipAddrTable and the ipoaClientTable provides the mapping from a
  local IP address to an ATM interface.  One or more ipAddrTable entries
  can point to the same ipoaLisEntry.  An ipAddrEntry's ipAdEntAddr
  ANDed with its ipAdEntNetMask SHOULD equal an ipoaLisEntry's
  ipoaLisSubnetAddr.  Given that an interface can be multi-homed, each
  local IP address associated with an interface requires an entry in the
  ipAddrTable.  Each ipAddrTable entry for a local IP address associated
  with an ATM interface SHOULD map to an entry in the ipoaLisTable.





Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 5]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  The bulk of the objects in an ipoaLisEntry exists to control ATMARP
  for a particular LIS. In a PVC only environment it is implementation
  dependent as to whether this table should be supported:

         ipoaLisInactivityTimer
         ipoaLisMinHoldingTime
         ipoaLisQDepth
         ipoaLisMaxCalls
         ipoaLisCacheEntryAge
         ipoaLisRetries
         ipoaLisTimeout

  The value of an ipoaLisMaxCalls object defines the maximum number of
  VCs that can be established simultaneously per LIS.  The value of an
  ipoaLisDefaultPeakCellRate object defines the best effort default peak
  cell rate in both the forward and backward directions when
  establishing VCCs (Virtual Channel Connections).  Refer to RFC 1755,
  ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM (reference [11]), for a
  definition of the use of this object's value.


  The ipAddrTable's ipAdEntReasmMaxSize is the "The size of the largest
  IP datagram which this entity can re-assemble from incoming IP
  fragmented datagrams received on this interface" and is different from
  the ipoaLisTable's ipoaLisDefaultMtu with is the default MTU used
  within an LIS.  Note that this is the default MTU, not the actual MTU
  (which is represented as ipoaVcNegotiatedMtu in the ipoaVcTable).

  The ipoaLisRowStatus object enables entries in the ipoaLisTable to be
  created or deleted via SNMP.  Creation of an ipoaLisTable entry
  results in the addition of a corresponding ipAddrTable entry and an
  ipoaLisIfMappingTable entry.  Creation of multiple ipAddrTable entries
  and ipoaLisIfMappingTable entries for the same LIS is not addressed by
  this document.  When ipoaLisRowStatus is changed from active(1) to
  notInService(2) or from active(1) to destroy(6), this has the side-
  effect of removing all entries from the ipNetToMediaTable that are
  associated with this LIS (in other words, it flushes the entity's
  ATMARP cache).  It also removes the ipoaVcTable entries that were
  associated with those ipNetToMediaTable entries.  Destroying the row
  removes the corresponding entries in the ipoaArpSrvrTable,
  ipoaArpClientTable, ipoaLisIfMappingTable, and the
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrTable.

  Entries in both the ipNetToMediaTable and the ipoaVcTable that are
  associated with an ipoaConfigPvcEntry are not affected by changes to
  ipoaLisRowStatus.





Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 6]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


3.1.2.  ATM Logical IP Subnet Interface Mapping Table

  The ipoaLisIfMappingTable maps a LIS to all ATM interfaces from which
  it is configured to be supported.  Each entry in the
  ipoaLisIfMappingTable SHOULD map to an ipAddrTable entry.  It is also
  possible for a system, most commonly a switch, to have multiple LISs
  associated with the same ATM interface.


3.1.3.  ATMARP Remote Server Table

  Entries in the ipoaArpRemoteSrvrTable exists to locally configure the
  remote ATMARP Servers that exist on a per LIS and interface basis.
  Classical IP and ARP over ATM [3] requires that at least one ATMARP
  Server be configured per LIS where SVC traffic is intended.  PVC usage
  doesn't require use of ATMARP.  No ipoaArpRemoteSrvrTable entries
  SHOULD be configured for a LIS where only PVCs will be used.  An entry
  in the ipoaArpRemoteSrvrTable is indexed by the subnet address of the
  LIS (ipoaLisSubnetAddr), the ATM address of the remote ATMARP Server
  (ipoaArpRemoteSrvrAtmAddr) and an interface ifIndex
  (ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex) value.

  The object ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIpAddr in an ipoaArpRemoteSrvrEntry is set
  with the IP Address of the Remote ATMARP Server when a VC to the
  Remote ATMARP Server is established.  A value of 0.0.0.0 SHOULD be
  used when the IP address of the Remote ATMARP Server is not known.
  Once ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIpAddr is set then the ipoaVcTable can be
  searched using ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex and ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIpAddr to
  find the VC in use to the Remote ATMARP Server.

  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex is defined to have the textual convention of
  InterfaceIndexOrZero.  Adding ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex to the index
  clause allows a system to have a VC to a ATMARP Remote Server on a per
  LIS and interface basis.  An entry in this table SHOULD exist for each
  interface on a per LIS basis.  Each interface would then have a
  separate VC to the Remote ATMARP Server for ATMARP purposes.

  An implementation that wants to use a single VC MAY use an
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex value of 0 when configuring an
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrEntry for the associating LIS.  If
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIfIndex is 0 then an implementation dependent method
  MAY be used for finding the VPI and VCI of the VC in use to the Remote
  ATMARP Server.  For example, search the ipoaVcTable for a match
  between ipNetToMediaNetAddress and ipoaArpRemoteSrvrIpAddr from an
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrEntry, ignoring ipNetToMediaIfIndex.  Since a single
  VC is being used the first match SHOULD correspond to the correct VC.





Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 7]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  If a PVC is intended to be used to communicate with a remote ATMARP
  Server then the ipoaConfigPvcTable MUST be used to create and activate
  the PVC prior to activating a ipoaArpRemoteSrvrEntry.

  The object ipoaArpRemoteSrvrRowStatus allows for row creation and
  deletion of entries in the ipoaArpRemoteSrvrTable.  The objects
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrAdminStatus and ipoaArpRemoteSrvrOperStatus exist to
  control and reflect the operational use of a Remote ATMARP Server
  defined by an ipoaArpRemoteSrvrEntry.  The object
  ipoaArpRemoteSrvrOperStatus SHOULD have a value of up(1) when an SVC
  has been established to the Remote ATMARP Server or if using a PVC
  when the InATMARP reply with the IP Address of the Remote ATMARP
  Server has been received.  The value of down(2) SHOULD be used to
  indicate that a VC to the Remote ATMARP Server doesn't exist.


3.1.4.  ATM VC Table

  An entry in the ipoaVcTable SHOULD have at least one corresponding
  ipNetToMediaTable entry.  Both tables use the ipNetToMediaTable's
  indexes ipNetToMediaIfIndex and ipNetToMediaNetAddress.  The
  ipoaVcTable has the additional indexes ipoaVcVpi and ipoaVcVci.  An
  ipoaVcEntry exists for every VC per ATM interface per destination IP
  address.  Refer to the following diagram that illustrates the
  relationship between ipoaVcTable and the ipNetToMediaTable:

         ipoaVcTable                        ipNetToMediatable
       ------------------------------     ----------------------------
       | ipNetToMediaIfIndex        |     | ipNetToMediaIfIndex      |
       | ipNetToMediaNetAddress     |     | ipNetToMediaNetAddress   |
       | ipoaVcVpi                  |     |                          |
       | ipoaVcVci                  |     |                          |
       | ipoaVcType                 |     |                          |
       | ---> use IpoaAtmAddr TC    |     | ipNetToMediaPhysAddress  |
       | ipoaVcNegotiatedEncapsType |     |                          |
       | ipoaVcNegotiatedMtu        |     |                          |
       |                            |     | ipNetToMediaType         |
       ------------------------------     ----------------------------

  ipoaVcType indicates if the entry is for an SVC or a PVC.  An
  ipoaVcEntry, corresponding to an PVC, is created automatically when an
  ipoaConfigPvcEntry is created and the IP Address at the end of the PVC
  is discovered.  The associating ipNetToMediaTable entry would have its
  ipNetToMediaType set to static(4).  ipNetToMediaTable entries created
  during ATMARP processing have a ipNetToMediaType of dynamic(3).  The
  process to locally configuring an ipNetToMediaTable entry and an
  ipoaVcTable entry for an SVC without using ATMARP is not within the
  scope of this document.



Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 8]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  The objects ipoaVcVpi and ipoaVcVci are defined to have a MAX-ACCESS
  of not-accessible since they are only used for purposes of indexing an
  entry in the ipoaVcTable.


3.1.5.  ATM Config PVC Table

  An entry in the ipoaVcTable is created after the InATMARP reply is
  successfully received for an ipoaConfigPvcEntry during its activation.
  InATMARP should return the IP Address of the other end of the PVC in
  order to have the needed indexes to create an ipNetToMediaEntry and an
  ipoaVcEntry.

  The corresponding ARP Cache entry SHOULD be deleted whenever a PVC
  becomes unusable.

  A Network Management Station wanting to create a PVC at a particular
  system for use as an IP transport would:

     o  use the ATM-MIB, reference [4], to create the PVC
     o  use the ipoaConfigPvcTable in the IPOA-MIB to configure
        the PVC for use by IP

  Refer to the following diagram that illustrates the relationship
  between the ipoaVcTable and the ipoaConfigPvcTable:

         ipoaVcTable                        ipoaConfigPvcTable
       ------------------------------     ----------------------------
       | ipNetToMediaIfIndex        |     | ipNetToMediaIfIndex      |
       | ipNetToMediaNetAddress     |     |                          |
       | ipoaVcVpi                  |     | ipoaConfigPvcVpi         |
       | ipoaVcVci                  |     | ipoaConfigPvcVci         |
       | ipoaVcType                 |     |                          |
       |                            |     | ipoaConfigPvcDefaultMtu  |
       | ipoaVcNegotiatedEncapsType |     |                          |
       | ipoaVcNegotiatedMtu        |     |                          |
       |                            |     | ipoaConfigPvcRowStatus   |
       ------------------------------     ----------------------------

  When the ipoaVcEntry is created its ipoaVcType will be set to pvc(1),
  its ipoaVcNegotiatedEncapsType set to llcSnap(1), and its
  ipoaVcNegotiatedMtu set to 9180 octets by default.  Classical IP and
  ARP over ATM [3] allows use of other MTU values for PVCs but considers
  the selection of a value other than 9180 to be out of scope.
  ipoaConfigPvcDefaultMtu can be used to configure the MTU to be used
  for the PVC.  Both ends MUST have the same value configured.  The
  associating ipNetToMediaTable entry would have its ipNetToMediaType
  set to static(4).



Greene, et al.                                                  [Page 9]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  Changing ipoaConfigPvcRowStatus from active(1) to notInService(2) or
  from active(1) to destroy(6) has the side-effect of removing the
  corresponding ipNetToMediaTable, ipoaVcTable, and ipoaConfigPvcTable
  entries.


3.1.6.  Notifications

  Both ATM clients and ATMARP Servers MUST support generation of an

3.2.  Client Supported MIB Definitions

  The ATMARP Client Table is the only additional MIB table that a client
  MUST implement.

3.2.1.  ATMARP Client Table

  An entry in the ipoaArpClientTable SHOULD have a corresponding
  ipAddrTable entry where both are indexed by the same ipAdEntAddr
  value.  Refer to the following diagram that illustrates the
  relationship between ipoaArpClientTable and ipAddrTable entries:

       | ipoaArpClientArpOutReplies      |     |                      |
       | ipoaArpClientArpInNaks          |     |                      |
       | ipoaArpClientArpOutNaks         |     |                      |
       | ipoaArpClientArpUnknownOps      |     |                      |
       | ipoaArpClientArpNoSrvrResps     |     |                      |
       | ipoaArpClientRowStatus          |     |                      |
       |                                 |     |  ipAdEntBcastAddr    |
       |                                 |     |  ipAdEntReasmMaxSize |
       -----------------------------------     ------------------------

  Both tables have the same index, ipAdEntAddr.  The ipAddrTable's
  ipAdEntNetMask when ANDed with its corresponding ipAdEntAddr yield the
  subnet of the LIS which can be used as an index into the ipoaLisTable
  (ipoaLisSubnetAddr).  The ipAddrTable's ipAdEntIfIndex points to an
  interface ifTable entry via an ifIndex value.  The attachment point
  for IP into an ATM network is via an ATM interface's ifIndex.  Each
  ipoaArpClientEntry MUST point to an ATM interface via its
  corresponding ipAddrEntry.

  ipoaArpClientAtmAddr is the local ATM address associated with the
  corresponding ATM ifTable entry.  ipoaArpClientSrvrInUse is the ATM
  address of the ATMARP Server being used for a particular client.  If
  SVCs are not being used then the value of this object is a zero-length
  OCTET STRING.




Greene, et al.                                                 [Page 11]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  It is sometimes possible for a system to have multiple IP addresses
  configured within the same IP subnet.  The indexing of this table
  would seem to preclude that.  However, it is possible to have
  additional entries in the ipAddrTable with the same ifIndex and with
  the same subnet address.  The mechanism for adding these multiple
  entries to the ipAddrTable (which is read-only) is beyond the scope of
  this document.

  The counter object ipoaArpClientInArpInvalidInReqs is "The number of
  times that this client detected an invalid InATMARP request." This
  object SHOULD be incremented when processing fails for an InATMARP
  request (e.g., for incorrect InATMARP request structure fields).  The
  object ipoaArpClientInArpInvalidOutReqs is defined as "The number of
  times that this client did not receive an InATMARP reply."  This is
  different from ipoaArpClientArpNoSrvrResps which counts the number of
  times no response was received from an ATMARP request.

  InATMARP retransmission processing is not controlled by objects in the
  ipoaLisTable.  In general, the ipoaLisTable objects relate to ATMARP
  Server processing.  Configuration of InATMARP retransmission
  processing is considered to be implementation dependent and not
  defined by the IPOA-MIB.

  Implementations SHOULD use local policy for defining both InATMARP
  timeout and retry count values.  This policy would be expected to
  differ for sending an InATMARP Request over a PVC as opposed to an
  SVC.  For transmission of an InATMARP Request over a SVC a timeout of
  60 seconds with a retry count of 3 is suggested.  InATMARP
  transmission over a PVC should differ since its retry limit may need
  to be infinite in order to ensure that InATMARP Request processing
  eventually occurs.


3.3.  Server Supported MIB Definitions

  ATMARP Servers MUST support:

    o ATMARP Server Table
    o Notifications

  as defined in the following sections.  This table exists only on a
  system where at least one ATMARP Server is present.

3.3.1.  ATMARP Server Table

  This table defines the list of ATMARP Servers within a LIS.  Each
  entry of the table defines each ATMARP Server's ATM address, the LIS
  it is a member of, and various InATMARP and ATMARP statistics.



Greene, et al.                                                 [Page 12]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


  An entry in this table provides information about an ATMARP Server
  within a LIS and is indexed by ipAdEntAddr (a local IP Address from an
  IP Address Table entry) and ipoaArpSrvrAddr (an ATM Address associated
  with the ATMARP Server).

  Entries MAY be created by a management application using the
  ipoaArpSrvrRowStatus object.  Entries in this table MAY also be
  created by the system and not by a management application, for example
  via ILMI.

  Entries in this table MAY be deleted by setting the
  ipoaArpSrvrRowStatus object to destroy(6).  This includes entries that
  were added by the system and not by a management application.

  On a host that supports multiple ATMARP Servers where the local IP
  address being associated with each ATMARP Server is the same (for
  example a non-multihomed host), the ATM Address (ipoaArpSrvrAddr)
  uniquely identifies a particular ATMARP Server.  On a host supporting
  multiple ATMARP Servers having a single ATM Interface with a single
  ATM Address, the ipAdEntAddr MUST be used to uniquely identify an
  entry in the ipoaArpSrvrTable.

  The indexing of the ipoaArpSrvrTable does not allow entries with the
  same or no local IP Address (ipAdEntAddr) and the same ATM Address
  (ipoaArpSrvrAddr) to exist.  The values of the index elements when
  combined to index a row must be unique.


3.3.2.  Notifications

  An ATMARP Server MUST support the following notifications:

       o ipoaDuplicateIpAddress
       o ipoaLisCreate
       o ipoaLisDelete

  Generation of ipoaLisCreate and ipoaLisDelete notifications is
  controlled by the ipoaLisTrapEnable object.  These notifications
  indicate when an ipoaLisEntry is either created or deleted.  The
  purpose of these notifications is to enable Network Management
  Applications to dynamically discover the existence of ATMARP Server
  LIS participation in order to eventually determine LIS composition via
  subsequent SNMP queries.  It is permissible for an ATM client-only
  system to support the ipoaLisTrapEnable object and generate
  ipoaLisCreate and ipoaLisDelete notifications.

5.  Security Considerations

  Certain management information defined in this MIB MAY be considered
  sensitive in some network environments.  Therefore, authentication of
  received SNMP requests and controlled access to management information
  SHOULD be employed in such environments.  The method for this
  authentication is a function of the SNMP Administrative Framework, and
  has not been expanded by this MIB.

  Several objects in this MIB allow write access or provide for row
  creation.  Allowing this support in a non-secure environment can have
  a negative effect on network operations.  It is RECOMMENDED that
  implementers seriously consider whether set operations or row creation
  be allowed without providing, at a minimum, authentication of request
  origin.  It is RECOMMENDED that without such support that the
  following objects be implemented as read-only:

      o ipoaLisDefaultMtu
      o ipoaLisDefaultEncapsType
      o ipoaLisInactivityTimer
      o ipoaLisMinHoldingTime
      o ipoaLisQDepth
      o ipoaLisMaxCalls
      o ipoaLisCacheEntryAge
      o ipoaLisRetries
      o ipoaLisTimeout
      o ipoaLisDefaultPeakCellRate
      o ipoaArpClientAtmAddr
      o ipoaArpSrvrLis



Greene, et al.                                                 [Page 48]
RFC 2320             IP and ARP over ATM (IPOA) MIB           April 1998


      o ipoaArpRemoteSrvrAdminStatus, show status as being either
        up(1) when a VC exists to the Remote ATMARP Server or
        otherwise down(2).  Don't allow set support.
        ipoaArpRemoteSrvrOperStatus would have the same value as
        ipoaArpRemoteSrvrAdminStatus.
      o ipoaConfigPvcDefaultMtu
      o ipoaLisRowStatus
      o ipoaArpClientRowStatus
      o ipoaArpRemoteSrvrRowStatus
      o ipoaArpSrvrRowStatus
      o ipoaConfigPvcRowStatus
      o ipoaLisIfMappingRowStatus
