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 memo 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].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL", when used in the guidelines in this memo, are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
The terms "MIB module" and "information module" are used interchangeably in this memo. As used here, both terms refer to any of the three types of information modules defined in Section 3 of RFC 2578 [RFC2578].
Some of the terms used in this memo are defined below. Some additional terms are also defined in the PacketCable MTA Device Provisioning Specification [PKT-SP-PROV] and the PacketCable Security Specification [PKT-SP-SEC].
DOCSIS The CableLabs(R) Certified(TM) Cable Modem project, also known as DOCSIS(R) (Data over Cable Service Interface Specification), defines interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data distribution over cable television system networks. DOCSIS also refers to the ITU-T J.112 recommendation, Annex B, for cable modem systems [ITU-T-J112].
Cable Modem A Cable Modem (CM) acts as a data transport agent used to transfer call management and voice data packets over a DOCSIS-compliant cable system.
Multimedia Terminal Adapter A Multimedia Terminal Adapter (MTA) is a PacketCable- or IPCablecom- compliant device providing telephony services over a cable or hybrid

system used to deliver video signals to a community. It contains an interface to endpoints, a network interface, CODECs, and all signaling and encapsulation functions required for Voice over IP transport, call signaling, and Quality of Service signaling. An MTA can be an embedded or a standalone device. An Embedded MTA (E-MTA) is an MTA device containing an embedded DOCSIS Cable Modem. A Standalone MTA (S-MTA) is an MTA device separated from the DOCSIS cable modem by non-DOCSIS Message Access Control (MAC) interface (e.g., Ethernet, USB).
Endpoint An endpoint or MTA endpoint is a standard RJ-11 telephony physical port located on the MTA and used for attaching the telephone device to the MTA.
X.509 Certificate A X.509 certificate is an Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure certificate developed as part of the ITU-T X.500 Directory recommendations. It is defined in RFC 3280 [RFC3280] and RFC 4630 [RFC4630].
Voice over IP Voice over IP (VoIP) is a technology providing the means to transfer digitized packets with voice information over IP networks.
Public Key Certificate A Public Key Certificate (also known as a Digital Certificate) is a binding between an entity's public key and one or more attributes relating to its identity.
DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is defined by RFC 2131 [RFC2131]. In addition, commonly used DHCP options are defined in RFC 2132 [RFC2132]. Additional DHCP options used by PacketCable and IPCablecom MTAs can be found in the CableLabs Client Configuration DHCP specifications, RFC 3495 [RFC3495] and RFC 3594 [RFC3594].
TFTP The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is defined by RFC 1350 [RFC1350].
HTTP The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1) is defined by RFC 2616 [RFC2616].
Call Management Server A Call Management Server (CMS) is an element of the PacketCable network infrastructure that controls audio connections between MTAs.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
CODEC, COder-DECoder A Coder-DECoder is a hardware or software component used in audio/video systems to convert an analog signal to digital, and then (possibly) to compress it so that lower bandwidth telecommunications channels can be used. The signal is decompressed and converted (decoded) back to analog output by a compatible CODEC at the receiving end.
Operations Systems Support An Operations Systems Support system (OSS) is a system of back office software components used for fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management working in interaction with each other and providing the operations support in deployed PacketCable systems.
Key Distribution Center A Key Distribution Center (KDC) is an element of the OSS systems functioning as a Kerberos Security Server, providing mutual authentication of the various components of the PacketCable system (e.g., mutual authentication between an MTA and a CMS, or between an MTA and the Provisioning Server).
Security Association A Security Association (SA) is a one-way relationship between a sender and a receiver offering security services on the communication flow.
This MIB module provides a set of objects required for the management of PacketCable, ETSI, and ITU-T IPCablecom compliant MTA devices. The MTA MIB module is intended to supersede various MTA MIB modules from which it is partly derived:
- The PacketCable 1.0 MTA MIB Specification [PKT-SP-MIB-MTA].
- The ITU-T IPCablecom MTA MIB requirements [ITU-T-J168].
- The ETSI MTA MIB [ETSITS101909-8]. The ETSI MTA MIB requirements also refer to various signal characteristics defined in [EN300001], Chapter 3, titled 'Ringing Signal Characteristics', and [EN300659-1].
Several normative and informative references are used to help define MTA MIB objects. As a convention, wherever PacketCable and IPCablecom requirements are equivalent, the PacketCable reference is used in the object REFERENCE clause. IPCablecom-compliant MTA devices MUST use the equivalent IPCablecom references.
The MTA MIB module is identified by pktcIetfMtaMib and is structured in three object groups:
- pktcMtaDevBase defines the management information pertinent to the MTA device itself.
- pktcMtaDevServer defines the management information pertinent to the provisioning back office servers.
- pktcMtaDevSecurity defines the management information pertinent to the PacketCable and IPCablecom security mechanisms.
The first two object groups, pktcMtaDevBase and pktcMtaDevServer, contain only scalar information objects describing the corresponding characteristics of the MTA device and back office servers.
The third group, pktcMtaDevSecurity, contains two tables controlling the logical associations between KDC realms and Application Servers (CMS and Provisioning Server). The rows in the various tables of the MTA MIB module can be created automatically (e.g., by the device according to the current state information), or they can be created by the management station, depending on the operational situation. The tables defined in the MTA MIB module may have a mixture of both types of rows.
This object group contains the management information related to the MTA device itself. It also contains some objects used to control the MTA state. Some highlights are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevSerialNumber. This object contains the MTA Serial Number.
- pktcMtaDevEndPntCount. This object contains the number of endpoints present in the managed MTA.
- pktcMtaDevProvisioningState. This object contains the information describing the completion state of the MTA initialization process.
- pktcMtaDevEnabled. This object controls the administrative state of the MTA endpoints and allows operators to enable or disable telephony services on the device.
- pktcMtaDevResetNow. This object is used to instruct the MTA to reset.
This object group contains the management information describing the back office servers and the parameters related to the communication timers. It also includes some objects controlling the initial MTA interaction with the Provisioning Server.
Some highlights are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevServerDhcp1. This object contains the IP address of the primary DHCP server designated for the MTA provisioning.
- pktcMtaDevServerDhcp2. This object contains the IP address of the secondary DHCP server designated for the MTA provisioning.
- pktcMtaDevServerDns1. This object contains the IP address of the primary DNS used by the managed MTA to resolve the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and IP addresses.
- pktcMtaDevServerDns2. This object contains the IP address of the secondary DNS used by the managed MTA to resolve the FQDN and IP addresses.
- pktcMtaDevConfigFile. This object contains the name of the provisioning configuration file the managed MTA must download from the Provisioning Server.
- pktcMtaDevProvConfigHash. This object contains the hash value of the MTA configuration file calculated over its content. When the managed MTA downloads the file, it authenticates the configuration file using the hash value provided in this object.
This object group contains the management information describing the security-related characteristics of the managed MTA. It contains two tables describing logical dependencies and parameters necessary to establish Security Associations between the MTA and other Application Servers (back office components and CMSes). The CMS table (pktcMtaDevCmsTable) and the realm table (pktcMtaDevRealmTable) are used for managing the MTA signaling security. The realm table defines the CMS domains. The CMS table defines the CMS within the domains. Each MTA endpoint is associated with one CMS at any given time.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
The two tables in this object group are as follows:
- pktcMtaDevRealmTable. This table is used in conjunction with any Application Server that communicates securely with the managed MTA (CMS or Provisioning Server).
- pktcMtaDevCmsTable. This table contains the parameters describing the SA establishment between the MTA and CMSes.
3.5. Relationship between MIB Objects in the MTA MIB
This section clarifies the relationship between various MTA MIB objects with respect to the role they play in the process of establishing Security Associations.
The process of Security Association establishment between an MTA and Application Servers is described in the PacketCable Security Specification [PKT-SP-SEC]. In particular, an MTA communicates with 2 types of back office Application Servers: Call Management Servers and Provisioning Servers.
The SA establishment process consists of two steps:
a. Authentication Server Exchange (AS-exchange). This step provides mutual authentication between the parties; i.e., between an MTA and an Authentication Server. The process of AS-exchange is defined by a number of parameters grouped per each realm. These parameters are gathered in the Realm Table (pktcMtaDevRealmTable). The Realm Table is indexed by the Index Counter and contains conceptual column with the Kerberos realm name.
b. Application server exchange (AP-exchange). This step allows for the establishment of Security Associations between authenticated parties. The CMS table (pktcMtaDevCmsTable) contains the parameters for the AP-exchange process between an MTA and a CMS. The CMS table is indexed by the Index Counter and contains the CMS FQDN (the conceptual column pktcMtaDevCmsFqdn). Each row contains the Kerberos realm name associated with each CMS FQDN. This allows for each CMS to exist in a different Kerberos realm.
The MTA MIB module also contains a group of scalar MIB objects in the server group (pktcMtaDevServer). These objects define various parameters for the AP-exchange process between an MTA and the Provisioning Server. These objects are:
E-MTAs are embedded with DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems. E-MTAs have their software upgraded by the Cable Modem according to the DOCSIS requirements.
Although E-MTAs have their software upgraded by the Cable Modem according to the DOCSIS requirements, S-MTAs implement a specific mechanism for Secure Software Download. This provides a means to verify the code upgrade using Code Verification Certificates and is modeled after the DOCSIS mechanism implemented in Cable Modems. This is the reason why the MTA MIB and the S-MTA compliance modules also rely on two MIB object groups:
- docsBpi2CodeDownloadGroup, defined in the IETF BPI Plus MIB module (DOCS-IETF-BPI2-MIB [RFC4131]).
- docsDevSoftwareGroupV2, defined in the IETF Cable Devicev2 MIB module (DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB [RFC4639]).
As specified in the PacketCable Security Specification [PKT-SP-SEC], E-MTAs must use the authentication mechanism based on the X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificates, as defined in RFC 3280 [RFC3280] and RFC 4630 [RFC4630].
The value of the pktcMtaDevRealmOrgName MIB object should contain the X.509 organization name attribute of the Telephony Service Provider certificate (OrganizationName). X.509 attributes are defined using UTF-8 string encoding [RFC3629, RFC3280, and RFC4630].
Note that UTF-8 encoded characters can be encoded as sequences of 1 to 6 octets, assuming that code points as high as 0x7ffffffff might be used ([RFC3629]). Subsequent versions of Unicode and ISO 10646 have limited the upper bound to 0x10ffff ([RFC3629]). Consequently, the current version of UTF-8, defined in RFC 3629, does not require more than four octets to encode a valid code point.

For example, if the value of the pktcMtaDevEnabled object in the configuration file caused an error, then this object instance will contain the human-readable string of '1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.6.0'. If the MTA generated an error because it was not able to recognize a particular OID, then this object instance would contain an empty value (zero-length string). For example, if the value of an OID in the configuration file was interpreted by the MTA as being 1.2.3.4.5, and if the MTA was not able to recognize this OID as a valid one, this object instance will contain a zero-length string.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds 1024, then for all subsequent errors, the pktcMtaDevErrorOid of the table's 1024th entry MUST contain a human-readable representation of the pktcMtaDevErrorsTooManyErrors object; i.e., the string '1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.4.1.0'.

instance contains the erroneous value of the parameter as read from the configuration file. In both cases, the value of this object must be represented in human-readable form as a character string. For example, if the value of the pktcMtaDevEnabled object in the configuration file was 3 (invalid value), then the pktcMtaDevErrorValue object instance will contain the human-readable (string) representation of value '3'. Similarly, if the OID in the configuration file has been interpreted by the MTA as being 1.2.3.4.5 and the MTA cannot recognize this OID as a valid one, then this pktcMtaDevErrorValue object instance will contain human readable (string) representation of value '1.2.3.4.5'.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds 1024, then for all subsequent errors, the pktcMtaDevErrorValue of the table's 1024th entry MUST contain a human-readable representation of the pktcMtaDevErrorsTooManyErrors object; i.e., the string '1.3.6.1.2.1.140.1.1.4.1.0'."

This object may also contain vendor specific errors for private vendor OIDs and any proprietary error codes or messages that can help diagnose configuration errors.
If the number of errors in the configuration file exceeds 1024, then for all subsequent errors, the pktcMtaDevErrorReason of the table's 1024th entry MUST contain a human-readable string indicating the reason for an error; for example, 'Too many errors in the configuration file'." ::= {pktcMtaDevErrorOidsEntry 4}

pktcMtaDevServerDhcp1 OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddress MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION " This object contains the Internet Address of the primary DHCP server the MTA uses during provisioning. The type of this address is determined by the value of the pktcMtaDevDhcpServerAddressType object. When the latter has the value 'ipv4(1)', this object contains the IP address of the primary DHCP server. It is provided by the CM to the MTA via the DHCP option code 122, sub-option 1, as defined in RFC 3495.

There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects 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. Improper manipulation of the objects defined in this MIB may result in random behavior of MTA devices and may result in service disruption. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
- The following objects, if SET maliciously, would cause the MTA device to reset and/or stop its service:
pktcMtaDevResetNow. pktcMtaDevEnabled.
- All writable objects in the pktcMtaDevServer group and some in the pktcMtaDevRealmTable share the potential, if SET maliciously, to prevent the MTA from provisioning properly. Thus, they are considered very sensitive for service delivery. The objects in question are:
Certain of the above objects have additional specific vulnerabilities:
o pktcMtaDevServerDns1 and pktcMtaDevServerDns2, if SET maliciously, could prevent the MTA from being authenticated and consequently from getting telephony services.
o pktcMtaDevRealmStatus, if SET maliciously, could cause the whole row of the table to be deleted, which may prevent MTA from getting telephony services.
- All writable objects in the pktcMtaDevCmsTable table share the potential, if SET maliciously, to disrupt the telephony service by altering which Call Management Server the MTA must send signaling registration to; in particular:
pktcMtaDevCmsFqdn, pktcMtaDevCmsKerbRealmName, pktcMtaDevCmsMaxClockSkew, pktcMtaDevCmsSolicitedKeyTimeout, pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyMaxTimeout, pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyNomTimeout, pktcMtaDevCmsUnsolicitedKeyMaxRetries (this object, if set to a zero value '0', may prevent the MTA from retrying its attempt to establish a Security Association with the CMS), and pktcMtaDevCmsStatus.
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 53]
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
- Some writable objects in the pktcMtaDevRealmTable table will not have an immediate effect on service, if SET maliciously. However, they may impact the service performance and cause avalanche attacks on provisioning and Kerberos KDC servers, especially after massive device reboots occur. The objects in question are as follows:
pktcMtaDevResetKrbTickets: This object, if set to 'true', will cause the MTA to request a new Kerberos ticket at reboot.
pktcMtaDevRealmPkinitGracePeriod, pktcMtaDevRealmTgsGracePeriod: These 2 objects, if set to short time periods, will cause the MTA to renew its tickets more frequently.
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. Some of these objects may contain information that may be sensitive from a business or customer perspective. 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.
These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity and vulnerability:
- Some readable objects in the pktcMtaDevBase, pktcMtaDevServer, and pktcMtaDevSecurity groups share the potential, if read maliciously, to facilitate Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks against provisioning or Kerberos servers. The object in question are as follows:
pktcMtaDevServerDhcp1, pktcMtaDevServerDhcp2, and pktcMtaDevSnmpEntity. The values of these objects may be used to launch DoS attacks on the Telephony Service Provider DHCP or Provisioning servers.
pktcMtaDevProvKerbRealmName, pktcMtaDevManufacturerCertificate, pktcMtaDevCertificate and pktcMtaDevTelephonyRootCertificate. The values of these objects may be used by attackers to launch DoS attacks against Kerberos servers.
- One additional readable object may expose some security threats: pktcMtaDevFQDN. This object may include sensitive information about the domain name, and potentially, the domain topology.
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
Nechamkin & Mule Standards Track [Page 54]
RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
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 Section 8 in [RFC3410]), 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.
