Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for Address Resolution Protocol [RFC826] implementation and identification of some common properties within a device containing a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server. Devices that are managed by NETCONF and perhaps other mechanisms have common properties that need to be configured and monitored in a standard way.

The data model convers configuration of system parameters of ARP, such as static ARP entries, timeout for dynamic ARP entries, interface ARP, proxy ARP, and so on. It also provides information about running state of ARP implementations.

1.1. 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 BCP 14, [RFC2119].

The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined here:

1.2. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is presented in Section 3.

2. Problem Statement

This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] configuration data model that may be used to configure the ARP feature running on a system. YANG models can be used with network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices.

The data model makes use of the YANG "feature" construct which allows implementations to support only those ARP features that lie within their capabilities. It is intended this model be used by service providers who manipulate devices from different vendors in a standard way.

This module can be used to configure the ARP applications for discovering the link layer address associated with a given Internet layer address.

3. Design of the Data Model

This data model intends to describe the processing that a protocol finds the hardware address, also known as Media Access Control (MAC) address, of a host from its known IP address. These tasks include, but are not limited to, adding a static entry in the ARP cache, configuring ARP cache entry timeout, and clearing dynamic entries from the ARP cache.

This data model has one top level container, ARP, which consists of several second level containers. Each of these second level containers describes a particular category of ARP handling, such as defining static mapping between an IP address (32-bit address) and a Media Access Control (MAC) address (48-bit address).

6. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to- implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication.

The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content.

These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that 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.

7. Conclusions

TBD.
