Internet-Draft                YANG for NTP                    March 2022

1.  Introduction

   This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for Network Time
   Protocol [RFC5905] implementations.  Note that the model could also
   be used to configure NTPv3 [RFC1305] (see Section 7).

   The data model covers configuration of system parameters of NTP, such
   as access rules, authentication and VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
   binding, and also various modes of NTP and per-interface parameters.
   It also provides access to information about running state of NTP
   implementations.

1.1.  Operational State

   NTP Operational State is included in the same tree as NTP
   configuration, consistent with Network Management Datastore
   Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].  NTP current state and statistics are
   also maintained in the operational state.  The operational state also
   includes the NTP association state.

1.2.  Terminology

   The terminology used in this document is aligned to [RFC5905] and
   [RFC1305].

1.3.  Tree Diagrams

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
   this document.  This document uses the graphical representation of
   data models defined in [RFC8340].

1.4.  Prefixes in Data Node Names

   In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects
   are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from the
   context in which YANG module each name is defined.  Otherwise, names
   are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the
   corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1.

   The full data model tree for the YANG module "ietf-ntp" is in
   Appendix A.

   This data model defines one top-level container which includes both
   the NTP configuration and the NTP running state including access
   rules, authentication, associations, unicast configurations,
   interfaces, system status and associations.

3.  Relationship with NTPv4-MIB

   If the device implements the NTPv4-MIB [RFC5907], data nodes from
   YANG module can be mapped to table entries in NTPv4-MIB.

   The following tables list the YANG data nodes with corresponding
   objects in the NTPv4-MIB.

4.  Relationship with RFC 7317

   This section describes the relationship with NTP definition in
   Section 3.2 System Time Management of [RFC7317] .  YANG data nodes in
   /ntp/ also support per-interface configuration which is not supported
   in /system/ntp.  If the yang model defined in this document is
   implemented, then /system/ntp SHOULD NOT be used and MUST be ignored.

5.  Access Rules

   The access rules in this section refers to the on-the-wire access
   control to the NTP service and completely independent of any
   management API access control, e.g., NETCONF Access Control Model
   (NACM) ([RFC8341]).

   An Access Control List (ACL) is one of the basic elements used to
   configure device-forwarding behavior.  An ACL is a user-ordered set
   of rules that is used to filter traffic on a networking device.

   As per [RFC1305] (for NTPv3) and [RFC5905] (for NTPv4), NTP could
   include an access-control feature that prevents unauthorized access
   and controls which peers are allowed to update the local clock.
   Further it is useful to differentiate between the various kinds of

   access and attach a different acl-rule to each.  For this, the YANG
   module allows such configuration via /ntp/access-rules.  The access-
   rule itself is configured via [RFC8519].

   Following access modes are supported -

   *  Peer: Permit others to synchronize their time with the NTP entity
      or it can synchronize its time with others.  NTP control queries
      are also accepted.

   *  Server: Permit others to synchronize their time with the NTP
      entity, but vice versa is not supported.  NTP control queries are
      accepted.

   *  Server-only: Permit others to synchronize their time with NTP
      entity, but vice versa is not supported.  NTP control queries are
      not accepted.

   *  Query-only: Only control queries are accepted.

   Query-only is the most restricted where as the peer is the full
   access authority.  The ability to give different ACL rules for
   different access modes allows for a greater control by the operator.

6.  Key Management

   As per [RFC1305] (for NTPv3) and [RFC5905] (for NTPv4), when
   authentication is enabled, NTP employs a crypto-checksum, computed by
   the sender and checked by the receiver, together with a set of
   predistributed algorithms, and cryptographic keys indexed by a key
   identifier included in the NTP message.  This key-id is a 32-bit
   unsigned integer that MUST be configured on the NTP peers before the
   authentication could be used.  For this reason, this YANG module
   allows such configuration via /ntp/authentication/authentication-
   keys/. Further at the time of configuration of NTP association (for
   example unicast-server), the key-id is specified.

   The 'nacm:default-deny-all' is used to prevent retrieval of the
   actual key information after it is set.

7.  NTP Version

   This YANG model allow a version to be configured for the NTP
   association i.e. an operator can control the use of NTPv3 [RFC1305]
   or NTPv4 [RFC5905] for each association it forms.  This allows
   backward compatibility with a legacy system.  Note that the version 3
   of NTP [RFC1305] is obsoleted by NTPv4 [RFC5905].

9.  Usage Example

   This section include examples for illustration purposes.

   Note: '\' line wrapping per [RFC8792].

9.1.  Unicast association

   This example describes how to configure a preferred unicast server
   present at 192.0.2.1 running at port 1025 with authentication-key 10
   and version 4 (default).

   An example with IPv6 would use an IPv6 address (say 2001:db8::1) in
   the "address" leaf with no change in any other data tree.

     <edit-config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

         <running/>
       </target>

           </unicast-configuration>
         </ntp>
       </config>

11.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
   that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  The lowest NETCONF layer
   is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242].  The lowest RESTCONF layer
   is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
   [RFC8446].

   The NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means
   to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
   operations and content.  The 'nacm:default-deny-all' is used to
   prevent retrieval of the key information.

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

      /ntp/port - This data node specify the port number to be used to
      send NTP packets.  Unexpected changes could lead to disruption
      and/or network misbehavior.

      /ntp/authentication and /ntp/access-rules - The entries in the
      list include the authentication and access control configurations.
      Care should be taken while setting these parameters.

      /ntp/unicast-configuration - The entries in the list include all
      unicast configurations (server or peer mode), and indirectly
      creates or modify the NTP associations.  Unexpected changes could
      lead to disruption and/or network misbehavior.

      /ntp/interfaces/interface - The entries in the list include all
      per-interface configurations related to broadcast, multicast and
      manycast mode, and indirectly creates or modify the NTP
      associations.  Unexpected changes could lead to disruption and/or
      network misbehavior.  It could also lead to syncronization over
      untrusted source over trusted ones.

   Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
   notification) to these data nodes.  These are the subtrees and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

      /ntp/authentication/authentication-keys - The entries in the list
      includes all the NTP authentication keys.  Unauthorized access to
      the keys can be easily exploited to permit unauthorized access to
      the NTP service.  This information is sensitive and thus
      unauthorized access to this needs to be curtailed.

      /ntp/associations/association/ - The entries in the list includes
      all active NTP associations of all modes.  Exposure of these nodes
      could reveal network topology or trust relationship.  Unauthorized
      access to this also needs to be curtailed.

      /ntp/authentication and /ntp/access-rules - The entries in the
      list include the authentication and access control configurations.
      Exposure of these nodes could reveal network topology or trust
      relationship.

   Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control access to these operations.  These are the
   operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

      statistics-reset - The RPC is used to reset statistics.
      Unauthorized reset could impact monitoring.

   The leaf /ntp/authentication/authentication-keys/algorithm can be set
   to cryptographic algorithms that are no longer considered to be
   secure.  As per [RFC8573], AES-CMAC is the recommended algorithm.
