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 which provide an inverted
mapping of the interface stack table used for managing network
interfaces.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. The SNMP Network Management Framework</span>
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
<span class="grey">McCloghrie & Hanson Standards Track [Page 1]</span><span id="page-2" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc2864">RFC 2864</a> Inverted Stack Extension MIB June 2000</span>
o An overall architecture, described in <a href="./rfc2571">RFC 2571</a> [<a href="#ref-1" title=""An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks"">1</a>].
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
16, <a href="./rfc1155">RFC 1155</a> [<a href="#ref-2" title=""Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP-based Internets"">2</a>], STD 16, <a href="./rfc1212">RFC 1212</a> [<a href="#ref-3" title=""Concise MIB Definitions"">3</a>] and <a href="./rfc1215">RFC 1215</a> [<a href="#ref-4" title=""A Convention for Defining Traps for use with the SNMP"">4</a>]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, which
consists of <a href="./rfc2578">RFC 2578</a> [<a href="#ref-5" title=""Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)"">5</a>], <a href="./rfc2579">RFC 2579</a> [<a href="#ref-6" title=""Textual Conventions for SMIv2"">6</a>] and <a href="./rfc2580">RFC 2580</a> [<a href="#ref-7" title=""Conformance Statements for SMIv2"">7</a>].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, <a href="./rfc1157">RFC 1157</a> [<a href="#ref-8" title=""Simple Network Management Protocol"">8</a>]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in <a href="./rfc1901">RFC 1901</a> [<a href="#ref-9" title=""Introduction to Community-based SNMPv2"">9</a>] and <a href="./rfc1906">RFC</a>
<a href="./rfc1906">1906</a> [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">10</a>]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in <a href="./rfc1906">RFC 1906</a> [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">10</a>], <a href="./rfc2572">RFC 2572</a> [<a href="#ref-11" title=""Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">11</a>] and <a href="./rfc2574">RFC 2574</a>
[<a href="#ref-12" title=""User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)"">12</a>].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, <a href="./rfc1157">RFC 1157</a> [<a href="#ref-8" title=""Simple Network Management Protocol"">8</a>]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in <a href="./rfc1905">RFC 1905</a>
[<a href="#ref-13" title=""Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2)"">13</a>].
o A set of fundamental applications described in <a href="./rfc2573">RFC 2573</a> [<a href="#ref-14" title=""SNMP Applications"">14</a>] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in <a href="./rfc2575">RFC 2575</a>
[<a href="#ref-15" title=""View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">15</a>].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in <a href="./rfc2570">RFC 2570</a> [<a href="#ref-18" title=""Introduction to Version 3 of the Internet-standard Network Management Framework"">18</a>].
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 (e.g., 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.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Interface Sub-Layers and the ifStackTable</span>
MIB-II [<a href="#ref-16" title=""Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets - MIB-II"">16</a>] defines objects for managing network interfaces by
providing a generic interface definition together with the ability to
define media-specific extensions. The generic objects are known as
the 'interfaces' group.
Experience in defining media-specific extensions showed the need to
distinguish between the multiple sub-layers beneath the
internetwork-layer. Consider, for example, an interface with PPP
running over an HDLC link which uses a RS232-like connector. Each of
these sub-layers has its own media-specific MIB module.
The latest definition of the 'interfaces' group in the IF-MIB [<a href="#ref-17" title=""The Interface Group MIB"">17</a>]
satisfies this need by having each sub-layer be represented by its
own conceptual row in the ifTable. It also defines an additional MIB
table, the ifStackTable, to identify the "superior" and "subordinate"
sub-layers through ifIndex "pointers" to the appropriate conceptual
rows in the ifTable.
Each conceptual row in the ifStackTable represents a relationship
between two interfaces, where this relationship is that the "higher-
layer" interface runs "on top" of the "lower-layer" interface. For
example, if a PPP module operated directly over a serial interface,
the PPP module would be a "higher layer" to the serial interface, and
the serial interface would be a "lower layer" to the PPP module.
This concept of "higher-layer" and "lower-layer" is the same as
embodied in the definitions of the ifTable's packet counters.
The ifStackTable is INDEX-ed by the ifIndex values of the two
interfaces involved in the relationship. By necessity, one of these
ifIndex values must come first, and the IF-MIB chose to have the
higher-layer interface first, and the lower-layer interface second.
Due to this, it is straight-forward for a Network Management
application to read a subset of the ifStackTable and thereby
determine the interfaces which run underneath a particular interface.
However, to determine which interfaces run on top of a particular
interface, a Network Management application has no alternative but to
read the whole table. This is very inefficient when querying a
device which has many interfaces, and many conceptual rows in its
ifStackTable.
This MIB provides an inverted Interfaces Stack Table, the
ifInvStackTable. While it contains no additional information beyond
that already contained in the ifStackTable, the ifInvStackTable has
the ifIndex values in its INDEX clause in the reverse order, i.e.,
the lower-layer interface first, and the higher-layer interface
second. As a result, the ifInvStackTable is an inverted version of

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc2864">RFC 2864</a> Inverted Stack Extension MIB June 2000</span>
the same information contained in the ifStackTable. Thus, the
ifInvStackTable provides an efficient means for a Network Management
application to read a subset of the ifStackTable and thereby
determine which interfaces run on top of a particular interface.

the multiple sub-layers of network interfaces. In
particular, it contains information on which sub-layers run
'underneath' which other sub-layers, where each sub-layer
corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. For
example, when the sub-layer with ifIndex value x runs
underneath the sub-layer with ifIndex value y, then this
table contains:
ifInvStackStatus.x.y=active
For each ifIndex value, z, which identifies an active
interface, there are always at least two instantiated rows
in this table associated with z. For one of these rows, z
is the value of ifStackHigherLayer; for the other, z is the
value of ifStackLowerLayer. (If z is not involved in
multiplexing, then these are the only two rows associated
with z.)
For example, two rows exist even for an interface which has
no others stacked on top or below it:
ifInvStackStatus.z.0=active
ifInvStackStatus.0.z=active
This table contains exactly the same number of rows as the
ifStackTable, but the rows appear in a different order."

"The status of the relationship between two sub-layers.
An instance of this object exists for each instance of the
ifStackStatus object, and vice versa. For example, if the
variable ifStackStatus.H.L exists, then the variable
ifInvStackStatus.L.H must also exist, and vice versa. In
addition, the two variables always have the same value.
However, unlike ifStackStatus, the ifInvStackStatus object
is NOT write-able. A network management application wishing
to change a relationship between sub-layers H and L cannot
do so by modifying the value of ifInvStackStatus.L.H, but
must instead modify the value of ifStackStatus.H.L. After
the ifStackTable is modified, the change will be reflected
in this table."

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-7" href="#section-7">7</a>. Security Considerations</span>
There are no management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-
ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB is
implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can
alter or create any management objects of this MIB via direct SNMP
SET operations.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc2864">RFC 2864</a> Inverted Stack Extension MIB June 2000</span>
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. 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.
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 <a href="./rfc2574">RFC 2574</a> [<a href="#ref-12" title=""User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)"">12</a>] and the View- based
Access Control Model <a href="./rfc2575">RFC 2575</a> [<a href="#ref-15" title=""View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)"">15</a>] 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.
