1. Introduction

This RFC presents NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home, which
enable a NETCONF or RESTCONF server to initiate a secure connection
to a NETCONF or RESTCONF client client, respectively.

NETCONF Call Home supports both of the secure transports used by the
NETCONF protocol
Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241], SSH Secure Shell
(SSH), and TLS. Transport Layer Security (TLS). The NETCONF protocol's
binding to SSH is defined in [RFC6242]. The NETCONF protocol's
binding to TLS is defined in [RFC7589].

RESTCONF Call Home only supports TLS, the same as the RESTCONF
protocol [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]. [RFC8040]. The RESTCONF protocol's binding to TLS is
defined in [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]. [RFC8040].

The SSH protocol is defined in [RFC4253]. The TLS protocol is
defined in [RFC5246]. Both the SSH and TLS protocols are layered on
top of the TCP protocol, which is defined in [RFC793]. [RFC0793].

Both NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home preserve all but one of
the client/server roles in their respective protocol stacks, as
compared to client initiated client-initiated NETCONF and RESTCONF connections. The
one and only role reversal that occurs is at the TCP layer; that is,
which peer is the TCP-client TCP client and which is the TCP-server. TCP server.

For example, a network element is traditionally the TCP-server. TCP server.
However, when calling home, the network element becomes initially assumes the
role of the TCP- TCP client. The network element's secure transport layer transport-layer
roles (SSH- (SSH server, TLS-server) TLS server) and its application layer application-layer roles (NETCONF-server,
RESTCONF-server) both
(NETCONF server, RESTCONF server) all remain the same.

Having consistency in both the secure transport layer transport-layer (SSH, TLS) and
application layer
application-layer (NETCONF, RESTCONF) roles conveniently enables
deployed network management infrastructure to support call home also.
For instance, existing certificate chains and user authentication
mechanisms are unaffected by call home.

1.1. Motivation

Call home is generally useful for both the initial deployment and on-
going
ongoing management of networking elements. Here are some scenarios
enabled by call home:

o The network element may proactively call home "call home" after being
powered on for the first time in order to register itself with its
management system.

o The network element may access the network in a way that
dynamically assigns it an IP address, but does not register its
assigned IP address to a mapping service (e.g., dynamic DNS).

o The network element may be deployed behind a firewall that
implements network address translation Network Address Translation (NAT) for all internal
network IP addresses.

o The network element may be deployed behind a firewall that doesn't does
not allow any management access to the internal network.

o The network element may be configured in "stealth mode" mode", and thus
doesn't
does not have any open ports for the management system to connect
to.

o The operator may prefer to have network elements initiate
management connections, believing it is easier to secure one open
port in the data center than to have an open port on each network
element in the network.

1.2. Requirements Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

1.3. Applicability Statement

The techniques described in this document are suitable for network
management scenarios such as the ones described in Section 1.1.
However, these techniques are only defined for NETCONF Call Home and
RESTCONF Call Home, as described in this document.

The reason for this restriction is that different protocols have
different security assumptions. The NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols
require clients and servers to verify the identity of the other
party. This requirement is specified for the NETCONF protocol in
Section 2.2 of [RFC6241], and is specified for the RESTCONF protocol
in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]). [RFC8040].

This contrasts with the base SSH and TLS protocols, which do not
require programmatic verification of the other party (section (Section 9.3.4
of [RFC4251], section Section 4 of [RFC4252], and section Section 7.3 of [RFC5246]).
In such circumstances, allowing the SSH/TLS server to contact the
SSH/TLS client would open new vulnerabilities. Any use of call home
with SSH/TLS for purposes other than NETCONF or RESTCONF will need a
thorough contextual risk assessment. A risk assessment for this RFC
is in the Security Considerations section (Section 5).

1.4. Relation to RFC 4253

This document uses the SSH Transport Layer Protocol [RFC4253] with
the exception that the statement "The client initiates the
connection" made in Section 4 (Connection Setup) of RFC 4253 does not apply. Assuming
the reference to the client means "SSH client" and the reference to
the connection means "TCP connection", this statement doesn't hold
true in call home, where the network element is the SSH server and
yet still initiates the TCP connection. Security implications
related to this change are discussed in Security Considerations
(Section 5). Section 5.

1.5. The NETCONF/RESTCONF Convention

Throughout the remainder of this document, the term "NETCONF/
RESTCONF" is used as an abbreviation in place of the text "the
NETCONF or the RESTCONF". The NETCONF/RESTCONF abbreviation is not
intended to require or to imply that a client or server must
implement both the NETCONF standard and the RESTCONF standard.

2. Solution Overview

The diagram below illustrates call home from a protocol layering protocol-layering
perspective:

NETCONF/RESTCONF NETCONF/RESTCONF
Server Client

|<-----------------------------------|
| |
Note: arrows Arrows point from the "client" to
the "server" at each protocol layer layer.

Figure 1: Call Home Sequence Diagram

This diagram makes the following points:

1. The NETCONF/RESTCONF server begins by initiating a TCP connection
to the NETCONF/RESTCONF client.

2. Using this TCP connection, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client initiates
a
an SSH/TLS session to the NETCONF/RESTCONF server.

3. Using this SSH/TLS session, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client initates initiates
a NETCONF/RESTCONF session to the NETCONF/RESTCONF server.

3. The NETCONF or RESTCONF Client

The term "client" is defined in [RFC6241], Section 1.1 "client". 1.1. In the
context of network management, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client might be a
network management system.

3.1. Client Protocol Operation

C1 The NETCONF/RESTCONF client listens for TCP connection requests
from NETCONF/RESTCONF servers. The client MUST support accepting
TCP connections on the IANA-assigned ports defined in Section 6,
but MAY be configured to listen to a different port.

C2 The NETCONF/RESTCONF client accepts an incoming TCP connection
request and a TCP connection is established.

C3 Using this TCP connection, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client starts
either the SSH-client SSH client [RFC4253] or the TLS-client TLS client [RFC5246]
protocol. For example, assuming the use of the IANA-assigned
ports, the SSH-client SSH client protocol is started when the connection is
accepted on port PORT-X 4334 and the TLS-client TLS client protocol is started when
the connection is accepted on either port PORT-Y 4335 or PORT-Z. port 4336.

C4 If When using TLS, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client MUST advertise
"peer_allowed_to_send", as defined by [RFC6520]. This is
required so that NETCONF/RESTCONF servers can depend on it being
there for call home connections, when keep-alives are needed the
most.

C5 As part of establishing an SSH or TLS connection, the NETCONF/
RESTCONF client MUST validate the server's presented host key or
certificate. This validation MAY be accomplished by certificate
path validation or by comparing the host key or certificate to a
previously trusted or "pinned" value. If a certificate is
presented and it contains revocation checking revocation-checking information, the
NETCONF/RESTCONF client SHOULD check the revocation status of the
certificate. If it is determined that a certificate has been
revoked, the client MUST immediately close the connection.

C6 If certificate path validation is used, the NETCONF/RESTCONF
client MUST ensure that the presented certificate has a valid
chain of trust to a preconfigured issuer certificate, and that
the presented certificate encodes an "identifier" [RFC6125] that
the client had awareness was aware of prior to before the connection attempt. How
identifiers are encoded in certificates MAY be determined by a
policy associated with the certificate's issuer. For instance, a
given issuer may be known to only sign IDevID certificates
[Std-802.1AR-2009] having a unique identifier (e.g., a serial
number) in the X.509 certificate's "CommonName" field.

C7 After the server's host key or certificate is validated, the SSH
or TLS protocol proceeds as normal to establish a an SSH or TLS
connection. When performing client authentication with the
NETCONF/RESTCONF server, the NETCONF/RESTCONF client MUST ensure
to only
use credentials that it had previously associated for the
NETCONF/RESTCONF server's presented host key or server
certificate.

C8 Once the SSH or TLS connection is established, the NETCONF/
RESTCONF client starts either the NETCONF-client NETCONF client [RFC6241] or
RESTCONF-client [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]
RESTCONF client [RFC8040] protocol. Assuming the use of the
IANA-assigned ports, the NETCONF-client NETCONF client protocol is started when
the connection is accepted on either port PORT-X 4334 or PORT-Y port 4335 and
the RESTCONF-client RESTCONF client protocol is started when the connection is
accepted on port PORT-Z. 4336.

3.2. Client Configuration Data Model

How a NETCONF or RESTCONF client is configured is outside the scope
of this document. For instance, such a configuration might be used
to enable listening for call home connections, configuring trusted
certificate issuers, or configuring identifiers for expected
connections. That said, YANG [RFC7950] data modules for configuring
NETCONF and RESTCONF clients, including call home, are provided in
[NETCONF-MODELS] and [RESTCONF-MODELS].

4. The NETCONF or RESTCONF Server

The term "server" is defined in [RFC6241], Section 1.1 "server". 1.1. In the
context of network management, the NETCONF/RESTCONF server might be a
network element or a device.

4.1. Server Protocol Operation

S1 The NETCONF/RESTCONF server initiates a TCP connection request to
the NETCONF/RESTCONF client. The source port may be per local
policy or randomly assigned by the operating system. The server
MUST support connecting to one of the IANA-assigned ports defined
in Section 6, but MAY be configured to connect to a different
port. Using the IANA-
assigned IANA-assigned ports, the server connects to port PORT-X
4334 for NETCONF over SSH, port PORT-Y 4335 for NETCONF over TLS, and
port PORT-Z 4336 for RESTCONF over TLS.

S2 The TCP connection request is accepted and a TCP connection is
established.

S3 Using this TCP connection, the NETCONF/RESTCONF server starts
either the SSH-server SSH server [RFC4253] or the TLS-server TLS server [RFC5246]
protocol, depending on how it is configured. For example,
assuming the use of the IANA-assigned ports, the SSH-server SSH server
protocol is used after connecting to the remote port PORT-X 4334 and the TLS-server
TLS server protocol is used after connecting to one of the either remote ports PORT-Y
port 4335 or PORT-Z. remote port 4336.

S4 As part of establishing the SSH or TLS connection, the NETCONF/
RESTCONF server will send its host key or certificate to the
client. If a certificate is sent, the server MUST also send all
intermediate certificates leading up to a well known well-known and trusted
issuer. How to send a list of certificates is defined for SSH in
[RFC6187]
[RFC6187], Section 2.1, and for TLS in [RFC5246] [RFC5246], Section 7.4.2.

S5 Establishing an SSH or TLS session requires server authentication
of client credentials in all cases except with RESTCONF, where
some client authentication schemes occur after the secure
transport connection (TLS) has been established. If transport transport-
level (SSH or TLS) level client authentication is required, and the
client is unable to successfully authenticate itself to the
server in an amount of time defined by local policy, the server
MUST close the connection.

S6 Once the SSH or TLS connection is established, the NETCONF/
RESTCONF server starts either the NETCONF-server NETCONF server [RFC6241] or
RESTCONF-server [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]
RESTCONF server [RFC8040] protocol, depending on how it is
configured. Assuming the use of the IANA-assigned ports, the NETCONF-server
NETCONF server protocol is used after connecting to remote port PORT-X
4334 or PORT-Y, remote port 4335, and the RESTCONF-server RESTCONF server protocol is
used after connecting to remote port PORT-Z. 4336.

S7 If a persistent connection is desired, the NETCONF/RESTCONF
server, as the connection initiator, SHOULD actively test the
aliveness of the connection using a keep-alive mechanism. For
TLS based
TLS-based connections, the NETCONF/RESTCONF server SHOULD send
HeartbeatRequest messages, as defined by [RFC6520]. For SSH SSH-
based connections, per Section 4 of [RFC4254], the NETCONF/
RESTCONF server SHOULD
send a an SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST message with a purposely
nonexistent "request name" value (e.g., keepalive@ietf.org) and
the "want reply" value set to '1'.

4.2. Server Configuration Data Model

How a NETCONF or RESTCONF server is configured is outside the scope
of this document. This includes configuration that might be used to
specify hostnames, IP addresses, ports, algorithms, or other relevant
parameters. That said, a YANG [RFC6020] model [RFC7950] data modules for configuring
NETCONF and RESTCONF servers, including call home, is are provided in
[draft-ietf-netconf-server-model].
[NETCONF-MODELS] and [RESTCONF-MODELS].

5. Security Considerations

The security considerations described in [RFC6242] and [RFC7589], and
by extension [RFC4253], [RFC5246], and [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf] [RFC8040] apply here as well.

This RFC deviates from standard SSH and TLS usage by having the SSH/
TLS server initiate the underlying TCP connection. This reversal is
incongruous with [RFC4253], which says "the client initiates the
connection" and also [RFC6125], which says "the client MUST construct
a list of acceptable reference identifiers, and MUST do so
independently of the identifiers presented by the service."

Risks associated with these variances are centered around server
authentication and the inability for clients to compare an
independently constructed reference identifier to one presented by
the server. To mitigate against these risks, this RFC requires that
the NETCONF/RESTCONF client validate the server's SSH host key or
certificate, by certificate path validation to a preconfigured issuer
certificate, or by comparing the host key or certificate to a
previously trusted or "pinned" value. Furthermore, when a
certificate is used, this RFC requires that the client be able to
match an identifier encoded in the presented certificate with an
identifier the client was preconfigured to expect (e.g., a serial
number).

For cases when the NETCONF/RESTCONF server presents an X.509
certificate, NETCONF/RESTCONF clients should ensure that the
preconfigured issuer certificate used for certificate path validation
is unique to the manufacturer of the server. That is, the
certificate should not belong to a 3rd-party third-party certificate authority
that might issue certificates for more than one manufacturer. This
is especially important when a client authentication mechanism
passing a shared secret (e.g., a password) to the server is used.
Not doing so could otherwise lead to a case where the client sends
the shared secret to another server that happens to have the same
identity (e.g., a serial number) as the server the client was
configured to expect.

Considerations not associated with server authentication follow next.

Internet facing

Internet-facing hosts running NETCONF Call Home or RESTCONF call home Call Home
will be fingerprinted via scanning tools such as `zmap` "zmap" [zmap]. Both
SSH and TLS provide many ways in which a host can be fingerprinted.
SSH and TLS servers are fairly mature and able to withstand attacks,
but SSH and TLS clients may not be as robust. Implementers and
deployments need to ensure that software update mechanisms are
provided so that vulnerabilities can be fixed in a timely fashion.

An attacker could launch a denial of service denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the
NETCONF/RESTCONF client by having it perform computationally
expensive operations, before deducing that the attacker doesn't
possess a valid key. For instance, in TLS 1.3
[draft-ietf-tls-tls13], [TLS1.3], the
ClientHello message contains a Key Share value based on an expensive
asymmetric key operation. Common precautions mitigating DoS attacks
are recommended, such as temporarily blacklisting the source address
after a set number of unsuccessful login attempts.

When using call home with the RESTCONF protocol, special care is
required when using some HTTP authentication schemes, especially the
Basic [RFC7617] and Digest [RFC7616] schemes, which convey a shared
secret (e.g., a password). Implementations Implementers and deployments should be
sure to review the Security Considerations section in the RFC for any
HTTP client authentication scheme used.

6. IANA Considerations

This RFC requests that

IANA assigns has assigned three TCP port numbers in the
"Registered Port Numbers" "User Ports" range
with the service names "netconf-ch-
ssh", "netconf-ch-ssh", "netconf-ch-tls", and
"restconf-ch-tls". These ports will be the default ports for NETCONF
Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home protocols. Below is the
