Definitions of Managed Objects for BGP-4
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
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 managed objects used for managing the
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower.
The origin of this memo is from RFC 1269 "Definitions of Managed
Objects for the Border Gateway Protocol (Version 3)", which was
updated to support BGP-4 in RFC 1657. This memo fixes errors
introduced when the MIB module was converted to use the SMIv2
language. This memo also updates references to the current SNMP
framework documents.
This memo is intended to document deployed implementations of this
MIB module in a historical context, to provide clarifications of some
items, and to note errors where the MIB module fails to fully
represent the BGP protocol. Work is currently in progress to replace
this MIB module with a new one representing the current state of the
BGP protocol and its extensions.
This document obsoletes RFC 1269 and RFC 1657.

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 managed objects used for managing the
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower [BGP4, BGP4APP].
This memo obsoletes RFC 1657 and RFC 1269.
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. Overview
These objects are used to control and manage a BGP-4 implementation.
Apart from a few system-wide scalar objects, this MIB is broken into
three tables: the BGP Peer Table, the BGP Received Path Attribute
Table, and the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table. The BGP Peer
Table contains information about state and current activity of
connections with the BGP peers. The BGP Received Path Attribute
Table contains path attributes received from all peers running BGP
version 3 or less. The BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table contains
path attributes received from all BGP-4 peers. The actual attributes
used in determining a route are a subset of the received attribute
tables after local routing policy has been applied.

DESCRIPTION
"The MIB module for the BGP-4 protocol.
Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006). This
version of this MIB module is part of RFC 4273;
see the RFC itself for full legal notices."
REVISION "200601110000Z"
DESCRIPTION
"Changes from RFC 1657:
1) Fixed the definitions of the notifications
to make them equivalent to their initial
definition in RFC 1269.
2) Added compliance and conformance info.
3) Updated information for the values of
bgpPeerNegotiatedVersion, bgp4PathAttrLocalPref,
bgp4PathAttrCalcLocalPref,
bgp4PathAttrMultiExitDisc,
bgp4PathAttrASPathSegement.
4) Added additional clarification comments where
needed.
Haas & Hares Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4273 BGP4-MIB January 2006
5) Noted where objects do not fully reflect
the protocol as Known Issues.
6) Updated the DESCRIPTION for the
bgp4PathAttrAtomicAggregate object.
7) The following objects have had their DESCRIPTION
clause modified to remove the text that suggested
(using 'should' verb) initializing the counter
to zero on a transition to the established state:
bgpPeerInUpdates, bgpPeerOutUpdates,
bgpPeerInTotalMessages, bgpPeerOutTotalMessages
Those implementations that still do this are
still compliant with this new wording.
Applications should not assume counters have
started at zero.
Published as RFC 4273."

and so on, with the most significant bit
referring to the lowest bit number in the

refers to bit 0). If a bit, i, is present
and set, then the version (i+1) of the BGP

path segment is represented by a triple
<type, length, value>.
The type is a 1-octet field that has two
possible values:
1 AS_SET: unordered set of ASes that a
route in the UPDATE message
has traversed
2 AS_SEQUENCE: ordered set of ASes that
a route in the UPDATE message
has traversed.
The length is a 1-octet field containing the
Haas & Hares Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 4273 BGP4-MIB January 2006
number of ASes in the value field.
The value field contains one or more AS
numbers. Each AS is represented in the octet
string as a pair of octets according to the
following algorithm:
first-byte-of-pair = ASNumber / 256;
second-byte-of-pair = ASNumber & 255;
Known Issues:
o BGP Confederations will result in
a type of either 3 or 4.
o An AS Path may be longer than 255 octets.
This may result in this object containing
a truncated AS Path."

5. Security Considerations
This MIB relates to a system providing inter-domain routing. As
such, improper manipulation of the objects represented by this MIB
may result in denial of service to a large number of end-users.
There are several management objects defined in this MIB that have a
MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects
should be considered sensitive or vulnerable in most network
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations. These objects include:
o bgpPeerAdminStatus
Improper change of bgpPeerAdminStatus, from start to stop, can
cause significant disruption of the connectivity to those
portions of the Internet reached via the applicable remote BGP
peer.
Haas & Hares Standards Track [Page 28]
RFC 4273 BGP4-MIB January 2006
o bgpPeerConnectRetryInterval
Improper change of this object can cause connections to be
disrupted for extremely long time periods when otherwise they
would be restored in a relatively short period of time.
o bgpPeerHoldTimeConfigured, bgpPeerKeepAliveConfigured
Misconfiguration of these objects can make BGP sessions more
fragile and less resilient to denial of service attacks on the
inter-domain routing system.
o bgpPeerMinASOriginationInterval,
bgpPeerMinRouteAdvertisementInterval
Misconfiguration of these objects may adversely affect global
Internet convergence of the routes advertised by this BGP
speaker. This may result in long-lived routing loops and
blackholes for the portions of the Internet that utilize these
routes.
There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that contain
sensitive information regarding the operation of a network. For
example, a BGP peer's local and remote addresses might be sensitive
for ISPs who want to keep interface addresses on routers confidential
in order to prevent router addresses used for a denial of service
attack or spoofing.
Therefore, it is important in most environments to control read
access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of
these object when sending them over the network via SNMP.
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
Haas & Hares Standards Track [Page 29]
RFC 4273 BGP4-MIB January 2006
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
