Abstract This document describes the Diameter application that is used for AAA in a PPP/SLIP Dial-Up and Terminal Server Access environment. This application, combined with the base protocol, satisfies the requirements defined in the NASREQ AAA criteria specification and the ROAMOPS AAA Criteria specification. This draft defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which describes the minimum amount of objects needed to manage the implementation of the Diameter NASREQ Application. Koehler et al. [Page 1] Internet-Draft Diameter NASREQ MIB November 2001 1. Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing the Diameter NASREQ Application. The Diameter NASREQ Application is used for AAA in a general dial-up environment and, along with the base protocol, satisfies requirements defined in the NASREQ AAA criteria specification and the ROAMOPS AAA Criteria specification. It is designed to ease the transition from systems that use RADIUS to Diameter by re-using the RADIUS address space, avoiding attribute lookups [16]. 2. The SNMP Management Framework The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components: o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1]. o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD 15, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [5], RFC 2579 [6] and RFC 2580 [7]. o Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574 [12]. o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13]. o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15]. A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [17]. Koehler et al. [Page 2] Internet-Draft Diameter NASREQ MIB November 2001 Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB. 3. Overview The Diameter NASREQ Application is used for AAA in general dial-up and Terminal Server Access environments. It is designed to work in combination with the Diameter base protocol specification [18]. The MIB defined reports objects that are specific to the NASREQ application as defined in [16]. The MIB specification for the Diameter base MIB [18] SHOULD be implemented prior to the implementation of this MIB. 4.

[Page 13] Internet-Draft Diameter NASREQ MIB November 2001 There is a managed object defined in this MIB that has a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such an object 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. There is a managed object in this MIB that may contain sensitive information. It is: diameterHostAddress, This can be used to determine the address of the Diameter host server, with which the servers are communicating. This information could be useful in impersonating the peer server. It is thus important to control GET access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these object when sending them over the network via SNMP. Not all versions of SNMP provide features for such a secure environment. SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. 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 (read) the objects in this MIB. It is recommended that the implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended. It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, 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. 7.
