Introduction [RFC8345] defines the YANG [RFC6020] [RFC7950] data models of the abstract (generic) network and network topology. Such models can be augmented with technology-specific details to build more specific topology models. This document defines the YANG data model for Layer 2 (L2) network topologies by augmenting the generic network (Section 6.1 of [RFC8345]) and network topology (Section 6.2 of [RFC8345]) data models with L2-specific topology attributes. An example is provided in Appendix B. Dong, et al. Expires January 13, 2021 [Page 2] Internet-Draft YANG Data Model for L2 Topologies July 2020 There are multiple applications for such a data model. For example, within the context of Interface to the Routing System (I2RS), nodes within the network can use the data model to capture their understanding of the overall network topology and expose it to a network controller. A network controller can then use the instantiated topology data to compare and reconcile its own view of the network topology with that of the network elements that it controls. Alternatively, nodes within the network may compare and reconcile this understanding either among themselves or with the help of a controller. Beyond the network element and the immediate context of I2RS itself, a network controller might even use the data model to represent its view of the topology that it controls and expose it to external applications. Further use cases where the data model can be applied are described in [I2RS-UR]. This document uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991] and adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. 2. 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] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950]. The meanings of the symbols used in the tree diagram are defined in [RFC8340]. 3. Layer 2 Topology Model The Layer 2 network topology YANG module is designed to be generic and applicable to Layer 2 networks built with different Layer 2 technologies. It can be used to describe both the physical and the logical (virtual) Layer 2 network topologies. The relationship between the Layer 2 topology module and the generic network and network topology module is shown in Figure 1. In order to represent a Layer 2 network topology, the generic network and topology models are augmented with Layer 2 specific information, such as the identifiers, identities (e.g., Provider Backbone Bridging [IEEE802.1ah], QinQ [IEEE802.1ad], or VXLAN [RFC7348]), attributes, and states of the Layer 2 networks, nodes, links, and termination points. Some of the information may be collected via Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) [IEEE802.1AB] or other Layer 2 protocols, and some of them may be locally configured. Dong, et al.

This is represented by a container object, and is inserted under the "network-types" container of the generic "ietf-network" module defined in Section 6.1 of [RFC8345]. o Additional network attributes are introduced in a grouping "l2- network-attributes", which augments the "network" list of the "ietf-network" module. The attributes include Layer 2 network name and a set of flags. Each type of flag is represented by a separate identity. o Additional data objects for Layer 2 nodes are introduced by augmenting the "node" list of the generic "ietf-network" module. Dong, et al. Expires January 13, 2021 [Page 6] Internet-Draft YANG Data Model for L2 Topologies July 2020 New objects include Layer 2 node identifier, description, management address, and a set of flags. o Additional data objects for Layer 2 termination points are introduced by augmenting the "termination-point" list of the "ietf-network-topology" module defined in Section 6.2 of [RFC8345]. New objects include Layer 2 termination point descriptions, Layer 2 termination point type specific attributes and Layer 2 termination point states. o Links in the "ietf-network-topology" module are augmented as well with a set of Layer 2 parameters, allowing to associate a link with a name, a set of Layer 2 link attributes, and flags. o Some optional Layer 2 technology specific attributes are introduced in this module as Layer 2 features because these attributes may be useful to expose to above services/applications. Note that learning or configuring advanced Layer 2 technology- specific attributes is not within the scope of the Layer 2 Topology YANG module; dedicated YANG modules should be used instead (e.g., [I-D.ietf-trill-yang]). 4.

This document requests IANA to register the following YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry. name: ietf-l2-topology namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2-topology prefix: l2t reference: RFC XXXX name: ietf-l2-topology-state namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2-topology-state prefix: l2t-s reference: RFC XXXX These modules are not maintained by IANA. 6. 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 Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or Dong, et al. Expires January 13, 2021 [Page 21] Internet-Draft YANG Data Model for L2 Topologies July 2020 RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. The Layer 2 topology module defines information that can be configurable in certain instances, for example in the case of virtual topologies that can be created by client applications. In such cases, a malicious client could introduce topologies that are undesired. Specifically, a malicious client could attempt to remove or add a node, a link, a termination point, by creating or deleting corresponding elements in the node, link, and termination point lists, respectively. In the case of a topology that is learned, the server will automatically prohibit such misconfiguration attempts. In the case of a topology that is configured, i.e. whose origin is "intended", the undesired configuration could become effective and be reflected in the operational state datastore [RFC8342], leading to disruption of services provided via this topology. For those reasons, it is important that the NACM is vigorously applied to prevent topology misconfiguration by unauthorized clients. 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: o l2-network-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of any of the contained attributes, such as the name or the flag data nodes. o l2-node-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of important node attributes, such as the name or the management-address. o l2-link-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of important link attributes, such as the rate or the delay data nodes. o l2-termination-point-attributes: A malicious client could attempt to sabotage the configuration of important termination point attributes (e.g., 'maximum-frame-size'). 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. In particular, the YANG model for layer 2 topology may expose sensitive information, for example the Dong, et al. Expires January 13, 2021 [Page 22] Internet-Draft YANG Data Model for L2 Topologies July 2020 MAC addresses of devices, VLAN/VXLAN identifiers. Unrestricted use of such information can lead to privacy violations. For example, listing MAC addresses in a network allows monitoring of devices and their movements. Location information can be derived from MAC addresses of network devices, bypassing protection of location information by the Operating System. 7.

Companion YANG Module for Non-NMDA Compliant Implementations The YANG module ietf-l2-topology defined in this document augments two modules, "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology", that are designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support Dong, et al. Expires January 13, 2021 [Page 25] Internet-Draft YANG Data Model for L2 Topologies July 2020 the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342]. In order to allow implementations to use the model even in cases when NMDA is not supported, a set of companion modules have been defined that represent a state model of networks and network topologies, "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state", respectively. In order to be able to use the model for layer 2 topologies defined in this document in conjunction with non-NMDA compliant implementations, a corresponding companion module is defined that represents the operational state of layer 2 network topologies. The module "ietf-l2-topology-state" mirrors the module "ietf-l2-topology" defined in Section 4. However, it augments "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state" (instead of "ietf-network" and "ietf- network-topology") and all its data nodes are non-configurable. The companion module "ietf-l2-topology" SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations that support NMDA. It is for this reason that this module is defined in the informative Appendix. As the structure of this modules mirrors that of its underlying modules, the YANG tree is not depicted separately. file "ietf-l2-topology-state@2020-06-29.yang" module ietf-l2-topology-state { yang-version 1.1; namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-l2-topology-state"; prefix l2t-s; import ietf-network-state { prefix nw-s; reference "RFC 8345: A YANG Data Model for Network Topologies"; } import ietf-network-topology-state { prefix nt-s; reference "RFC 8345: A YANG Data Model for Network Topologies"; } import ietf-l2-topology { prefix l2t; reference "RFC XXXX: A YANG Data Model for Layer 2 Network Topologies"; } organization "IETF I2RS (Interface to the Routing System) Working Group"; Dong, et al.

An Example This section contains an example of an instance data tree in JSON encoding [RFC7951]. The example instantiates "ietf-l2-topology" for the topology that is depicted in the following diagram. There are three nodes: D1, D2, and D3. D1 has three termination points: 1-0-1, 1-2-1, and 1-3-1. D2 has three termination points as well: 2-1-1, 2-0-1, and 2-3-1. D3 has two termination points: 3-1-1 and 3-2-1. In addition, there are six links, two between each pair of nodes, with one going in each direction. +------------+ +------------+ | D1 | | D2 | /-\ /-\ /-\ /-\ | | 1-0-1 | |---------------->| | 2-1-1 | | | | 1-2-1 | |<----------------| | 2-0-1 | | \-/ 1-3-1 \-/ \-/ 2-3-1 \-/ | /----\ | | /----\ | +---| |---+ +---| |---+ \----/ \----/ A | A | | | | | | | | | | | +------------+ | | | | | D3 | | | | | /-\ /-\ | | | +----->| | 3-1-1 | |-------+ | +---------| | 3-2-1 | |<---------+ \-/ \-/ | | +------------+ Figure 2.
