Definitions of Managed Objects for
the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Version 3 (VRRPv3)
 Abstract
This specification defines a portion of the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with network management based on the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In particular, it defines
objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling routers that
employ the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Version 3 (VRRPv3) for
both IPv4 and IPv6 as defined in RFC 5798. This memo obsoletes RFC
2787.

1. 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 [RFC 3410].
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 [RFC 2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC 2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC 2580].
Tata Standards Track PAGE 2
RFC 6527 VRRP Unified MIB March 2012
2. Introduction
This specification defines a portion of the MIB for use with SNMP-
based network management. In particular, it defines objects for
configuring, monitoring, and controlling routers that employ the
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Version 3 (VRRPv3) for both IPv4
and IPv6 as defined in RFC 5798 [RFC 5798].
3. Terminology
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 [RFC 2119].
4. Relationship to RFC 2787
This document obsoletes RFC 2787 [RFC 2787]. The major changes in
this document reflect changes in the VRRP protocol between RFC 2338
[RFC 2338] and RFC 5798 [RFC 5798]. This document is also updated to
conform to current MIB conventions.
5. Relation to Interface Group (IF-MIB)
Since a router can be participating in VRRP on one or more
interfaces, "ifIndex" is used as an index into the tables defined in
the VRRP MIB. This MIB module imports ifIndex from the IF-MIB. At
this time, the latest version of the IF-MIB is from RFC 2863
[RFC 2863].
6. Multi-Stack Implementations
This MIB module is designed to support multi-stack implementations
that run VRRP over IPv4 and IPv6. The IP version, Virtual Router
Identifier (VRID), and ifIndex are used to uniquely identify rows in
a multi-stack implementation.
7. Interpretation of RFC 5798
During the review of this document, it emerged that there are
different possible interpretations of [RFC 5798]. The authors of that
document and the VRRP working group were unable to reach consensus as
to which interpretation is correct. This document makes the
following assumption:
Tata Standards Track PAGE 3
RFC 6527 VRRP Unified MIB March 2012
IPv4 and IPv6 virtual routers are treated as two separate logical
entities and represented as two separate entries in the
vrrpv3OperationsTable. This is required due to the undefined
behavior of the protocol in [RFC 5798] in a multi-stack scenario.
8. VRRP MIB Structure and Design
This MIB module contains three tables:
(1) The vrrpv3OperationsTable contains objects that define the
operational characteristics of a VRRP router. Rows in this
table correspond to instances of virtual routers.
(2) The vrrpv3StatisticsTable contains the operating statistics for
a VRRP router.
(3) The vrrpv3AssociatedIpAddrTable contains the addresses of the
virtual router(s) that a given VRRP router is backing up.
Tables are indexed on ifIndex, VRID, and the IP version to uniquely
identify a VRRP router.
Notifications in this MIB module are controlled using the mechanisms
defined in [RFC 3413].
9. VRRP Multi-Stack Scenario
The following section provides examples of how some of the objects in
this MIB are instantiated.
KEY:
----
The labels in the following tables and diagrams correspond to the
actual MIB objects as follows:
if = IfIndex
AddrType= vrrpv3OperationsInetAddrType
VrId = vrrpv3OperationsVrId
State = vrrpv3OperationsStatus
Prior = vrrpv3OperationsPriority
IpAddr = vrrpv3OperationsMasterIpAddr
The following figure shows a hypothetical network with two VRRP
routers, VR1 & VR2, configured with two virtual routers. Addresses
in '()' indicate the address of the default gateway for a given host;
H1 to H4 are IPv4 hosts, and H5 to H8 are IPv6 hosts. A, B, and C
are IPv4 addresses, and X, Y, and Z are IPv6 addresses. In the
diagram, "Interface" is used in the context defined in IF-MIB.

NOTES:
1) For "State": M = Master; B = Backup.
In the vrrpv3OperationsTable, a "priority" of 255 indicates that
the respective router owns the IP address, e.g., this IP address
is native to the router (i.e., "the IP Address Owner").

and vrrpv3OperationsPrimaryIpAddr has been set, and
there is at least one active row in the
'vrrpv3AssociatedIpAddrTable' defining an associated
IP address.
notInService(2) should be used to administratively
bring the row down.
A typical order of operation to add a row is:
1. Create a row in vrrpv3OperationsTable with
createAndWait(5).
2. Create one or more corresponding rows in
vrrpv3AssociatedIpAddrTable.
3. Populate the vrrpv3OperationsEntry.
4. Set vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus to active(1).
A typical order of operation to delete an entry is:
1. Set vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus to notInService(2).
2. Set the corresponding rows in
vrrpv3AssociatedIpAddrTable to destroy(6) to delete
the entry.
3. Set vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus to destroy(6) to

11. 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 objects vrrpv3OperationsPriority, vrrpv3OperationsPrimaryIpAddr,
vrrpv3OperationsAdvInterval, vrrpv3OperationsPreemptMode,
vrrpv3OperationsAcceptMode, vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus, and
vrrpv3AssociatedIpAddrRowStatus possess the read-create attribute.
Manipulation of these objects is capable of affecting the operation
of a virtual router.
Examples of how these objects could adversely affect the operation of
a virtual router include:
Tata Standards Track PAGE 27
RFC 6527 VRRP Unified MIB March 2012
o An unauthorized change to vrrpv3OperationsPriority can affect the
priority used in master election, resulting in this router either
becoming master when it should not, or in some other router being
elected by preference. While this will disrupt the operator's
plans, it will only replicate the unfortunate failure of multiple
routers, and any router that does become master will be capable of
filling that role.
o Modification of vrrpv3OperationsPrimaryIpAddr would cause the
configured router to take on an incorrect IP address if it becomes
master, which would be potentially very disruptive to the network
operation.
o A malicious change to vrrpv3OperationsAdvInterval could either
result in the configured router flooding the network with
advertisements when it becomes master, or the new master not
advertising frequently enough such that some routers do not learn
about the new master.
o vrrpv3OperationsPreemptMode controls whether this router will
preempt another master router. Setting it inappropriately will at
worse cause one router to be master against the operator's plans,
but that router will still be qualified to operate as a master.
o Setting the vrrpv3OperationsAcceptMode could prevent an
IPv6-capable VRRP router from accepting packets addressed to the
address owner's IPv6 address as its own even if it is not the IPv6
address owner. Although the default for this object is false(2),
unauthorized setting of this object to false might restrict the
function of some parts of the network.
o The vrrpv3OperationsRowStatus object that could be used to disable
a virtual router. While there are other columns that, if changed,
could disrupt operations, they cannot be changed without first
changing the RowStatus object.
SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
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 MUST provide the security features described by the
SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC 3410]), including full support for
authentication and privacy via the User-based Security Model (USM)
[RFC 3414] with the AES cipher algorithm [RFC 3826]. Implementations
MAY also provide support for the Transport Security Model (TSM)
Tata Standards Track PAGE 28
RFC 6527 VRRP Unified MIB March 2012
[RFC 5591] in combination with a secure transport such as SSH
[RFC 5592] or TLS/DTLS [RFC 6353].
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.
12. IANA Considerations
The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:
Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
---------- -----------------------
vrrpv3MIB { mib-2 207 vrrpv3MIB VRRPV3-MIB }
This document obsoletes RFC 2787. Therefore, IANA has deprecated
value 68 under 'mib-2', which is assigned to VRRP-MIB.
