Introduction This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular it defines objects for managing IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) [RFC4944]. While a MIB module provides a direct binding for accessing data via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [RFC3410], supporting SNMP may not always be affordable on constrained devices. Other protocols to access data modeled in MIB modules are possible and proposals have been made recently to provide bindings to the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252]. 2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This document specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580]. 3. Conventions 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, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 4. Overview The left part of Figure 1 provides an overview of the IETF protocols designed for constrained devices. The right part lists the MIB modules providing monitoring and troubleshooting support ([RFC4113], [RFC4292], [RFC4293], and [RFC2863]). The LOWPAN-MIB defined in this document fills a hole by providing monitoring and troubleshooting support for the 6LoWPAN layer.

Forlink-layerslink layers that use the 6LoWPAN dispatch byte as defined in [RFC4944] (e.g., IEEE 802.15.4), a 6LoWPAN datagram is a datagram with a dispatch byte matching the bit patterns 01xxxxxx, 10xxxxxx, or 11xxxxxx. Datagrams with a dispatch byte matching the bit pattern 00xxxxxx (NALP - not a LoWPAN frame) are not considered to be 6LoWPANdatagramdatagrams by this specification. Other radio technologies may use different mechanisms to identify 6LoWPAN datagrams (e.g., the BLUETOOTHLow EnergyLow-Energy Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol uses Channel Identifiers[I-D.ietf-6lo-btle]).[IPV6-BTLE]). The Case Diagram [CASE] in Figure23 illustrates the conceptual relationships between the counters. Implementations may choose to implement the processing of 6LoWPAN datagrams in a different order. The generic InDiscards and OutDiscards counters can be incremented anytimewhen6LoWPAN datagrams are discarded due to reasons not covered by the other more specific counters. For example, an implementation discarding 6LoWPAN datagrams while all buffers are used for ongoing packet reassemblies will increment the relevant InDiscards counters for each discarded 6LoWPAN datagram.

The discard counters have been placed at the end of the input and outputchainschains, but they can be bumped any time if a datagram is discarded for a reason not covered by the other counters. Thecompression relatedcompression-related counters provide insights into compression requestsandand, inparticular also compression relatedparticular, compression-related failures. Note that the diagram is conceptual in the sense that compression happens after reassembly for incoming 6LoWPANdatagramsdatagrams, and compression happens before fragmentation for outgoing 6LoWPAN datagrams. Implementations may choose to implement things slightly differently. For example, implementations may decompress FRAG1 fragments as soon as they are received, not waiting for reassembly to complete. Themeshcounters related to MESH header processingrelated countersdo not have an explicit discard counter. Implementations that do not support mesh forwarding MUST count the number of received 6LoWPAN datagrams with a MESH header(lowpanInMeshReceives)(lowpanInMeshReceives), but they MUST NOT increment the lowpanInMeshReceives and lowpanInMeshDelivers counters if these 6LoWPAN datagrams are dropped. 5. Relationship to Other MIB Modules The MIB module imports definitions from SNMPv2-SMI [RFC2578], SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580], and IF-MIB [RFC2863]. 6.

Security Considerations There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB module via direct SNMP SET operations. Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. The read-only counters provide insights into the amount of 6LoWPAN traffic a node is receiving or transmitting. This might provide information regarding whether a device is regularly exchanging information with other devices or whether a device is mostly not participating in any communication (e.g., the device might be "easier" to take away unnoticed). The reassembly counters could be used to directdenial of servicedenial-of-service attacks on the reassembly mechanism. SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410],sectionSection 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module 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. 8. IANA ConsiderationsIANA and RFC Ed.: IANA is requested to assign a value for "YYYY" under the 'mib-2' subtree and to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "YYYY" (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove this note.The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIERvaluesvalue recorded in the SMI Numbers registry: Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value ---------- ----------------------- lowpanMIB { mib-2YYYY226 } 9.Acknowledgements This specification borrows heavily from the IP-MIB defined in [RFC4293].
