1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for management of
IP implementations.
The data model covers configuration of per-interface IPv4 and IPv6
parameters, and mappings of IP addresses to link-layer addresses. It
also provides information about which IP addresses are operationally
used, and which link-layer mappings exist. Per-interface parameters
are added through augmentation of the interface data model defined in
[RFC7223].
1.1. Terminology
The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined
here:
o client
o configuration data
o server
o state data
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
The following terms are defined in [RFC6020] and are not redefined
here:
o augment
o data model
o data node
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC6020].
1.2. Tree Diagrams
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
follows:
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
data (read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only).
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
2. IP Data Model
This document defines the YANG module "ietf-ip", which augments the
"interface" and "interface-state" lists defined in the
"ietf-interfaces" module [RFC7223] with IP-specific data nodes, and
also adds IP-specific state data.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
The data model has the following structure for IP configuration per
interface:
+--rw if:interfaces
+--rw if:interface* [name]
...
+--rw ipv4!
| +--rw enabled? boolean
| +--rw forwarding? boolean
| +--rw mtu? uint16
| +--rw address* [ip]
| | +--rw ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| | +--rw (subnet)
| | +--:(prefix-length)
| | | +--rw ip:prefix-length? uint8
| | +--:(netmask)
| | +--rw ip:netmask? yang:dotted-quad
| +--rw neighbor* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| +--rw link-layer-address yang:phys-address
+--rw ipv6!
+--rw enabled? boolean
+--rw forwarding? boolean
+--rw mtu? uint32
+--rw address* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
| +--rw prefix-length uint8
+--rw neighbor* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
| +--rw link-layer-address yang:phys-address
+--rw dup-addr-detect-transmits? uint32
+--rw autoconf
+--rw create-global-addresses? boolean
+--rw create-temporary-addresses? boolean
+--rw temporary-valid-lifetime? uint32
+--rw temporary-preferred-lifetime? uint32
The data model defines two configuration containers per interface --
"ipv4" and "ipv6", representing the IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
In each container, there is a leaf "enabled" that controls whether or
not the address family is enabled on that interface, and a leaf
"forwarding" that controls whether or not IP packet forwarding for
the address family is enabled on the interface. In each container,
there is also a list of configured addresses, and a list of
configured mappings from IP addresses to link-layer addresses.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
The data model has the following structure for IP state per
interface:
+--ro if:interfaces-state
+--ro if:interface* [name]
...
+--ro ipv4!
| +--ro forwarding? boolean
| +--ro mtu? uint16
| +--ro address* [ip]
| | +--ro ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| | +--ro (subnet)?
| | | +--:(prefix-length)
| | | | +--ro prefix-length? uint8
| | | +--:(netmask)
| | | +--ro netmask? yang:dotted-quad
| | +--ro origin? ip-address-origin
| +--ro neighbor* [ip]
| +--ro ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| +--ro link-layer-address? yang:phys-address
| +--ro origin? neighbor-origin
+--ro ipv6!
+--ro forwarding? boolean
+--ro mtu? uint32
+--ro address* [ip]
| +--ro ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
| +--ro prefix-length uint8
| +--ro origin? ip-address-origin
| +--ro status? enumeration
+--ro neighbor* [ip]
+--ro ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
+--ro link-layer-address? yang:phys-address
+--ro origin? neighbor-origin
+--ro is-router? empty
+--ro state? enumeration
The data model defines two state containers per interface -- "ipv4"
and "ipv6", representing the IPv4 and IPv6 address families. In each
container, there is a leaf "forwarding" that indicates whether or not
IP packet forwarding is enabled on that interface. In each
container, there is also a list of all addresses in use and a list of
known mappings from IP addresses to link-layer addresses.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
3. Relationship to the IP-MIB
If the device implements the IP-MIB [RFC4293], each entry in the
"ipv4/address" and "ipv6/address" lists is mapped to one
ipAddressEntry, where the ipAddressIfIndex refers to the "address"
entry's interface.
The IP-MIB defines objects to control IPv6 Router Advertisement
messages. The corresponding YANG data nodes are defined in
[ROUTING-MGMT].
The entries in "ipv4/neighbor" and "ipv6/neighbor" are mapped to
ipNetToPhysicalTable.
The following tables list the YANG data nodes with corresponding
objects in the IP-MIB.
+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| YANG data node in | IP-MIB object |
| /if:interfaces/if:interface | |
+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| ipv4/enabled | ipv4InterfaceEnableStatus |

RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
5. IANA Considerations
This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration has been
made.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip
Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names"
registry [RFC6020].
Name: ietf-ip
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip
Prefix: ip
Reference: RFC 7277
6. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via
the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the
secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model
[RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular
NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF
protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
ipv4/enabled and ipv6/enabled: These leafs are used to enable or
disable IPv4 and IPv6 on a specific interface. By enabling a
protocol on an interface, an attacker might be able to create an
unsecured path into a node (or through it if routing is also
enabled). By disabling a protocol on an interface, an attacker
might be able to force packets to be routed through some other
interface or deny access to some or all of the network via that
protocol.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 7277 YANG IP Management June 2014
ipv4/address and ipv6/address: These lists specify the configured IP
addresses on an interface. By modifying this information, an
attacker can cause a node to either ignore messages destined to it
or accept (at least at the IP layer) messages it would otherwise
ignore. The use of filtering or security associations may reduce
the potential damage in the latter case.
ipv4/forwarding and ipv6/forwarding: These leafs allow a client to
enable or disable the forwarding functions on the entity. By
disabling the forwarding functions, an attacker would possibly be
able to deny service to users. By enabling the forwarding
functions, an attacker could open a conduit into an area. This
might result in the area providing transit for packets it
shouldn't, or it might allow the attacker access to the area,
bypassing security safeguards.
ipv6/autoconf: The leafs in this branch control the
autoconfiguration of IPv6 addresses and, in particular, whether or
not temporary addresses are used. By modifying the corresponding
leafs, an attacker might impact the addresses used by a node and
thus indirectly the privacy of the users using the node.
ipv4/mtu and ipv6/mtu: Setting these leafs to very small values can
be used to slow down interfaces.
