1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] for management of
IP implementations.
The data model covers configuration of per-interface IPv4 and IPv6
parameters as well as mappings of IP addresses to link-layer
addresses. It also provides information about which IP addresses are
operationally used and which link-layer mappings exist.
Per-interface parameters are added through augmentation of the
interface data model defined in [RFC8343].
This version of the IP data model supports the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].
1.1. Summary of Changes from RFC 7277
The "ipv4" and "ipv6" subtrees with "config false" data nodes in the
"/interfaces-state/interface" subtree are deprecated. All
"config false" data nodes are now present in the "ipv4" and "ipv6"
subtrees in the "/interfaces/interface" subtree.
Servers that do not implement NMDA or that wish to support clients
that do not implement NMDA MAY implement the deprecated "ipv4" and
"ipv6" subtrees in the "/interfaces-state/interface" subtree.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 2]RFC 8344 YANG IP Management March 2018
1.2. Terminology
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 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
The following terms are defined in [RFC8342] and are not redefined
here:
o client
o server
o configuration
o system state
o intended configuration
o running configuration datastore
o operational state
o operational state datastore
The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are not redefined
here:
o augment
o data model
o data node
The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in
[RFC7950].
1.3. Tree Diagrams
Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
[RFC8340].

RFC 8344 YANG IP Management March 2018
2. IP Data Model
This document defines the YANG module "ietf-ip", which augments the
"interface" lists defined in the "ietf-interfaces" module [RFC8343]
with IP-specific data nodes.
The data model has the following structure for IP data nodes per
interface, excluding the deprecated data nodes:
module: ietf-ip
augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
+--rw ipv4!
| +--rw enabled? boolean
| +--rw forwarding? boolean
| +--rw mtu? uint16
| +--rw address* [ip]
| | +--rw ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| | +--rw (subnet)
| | | +--:(prefix-length)
| | | | +--rw prefix-length? uint8
| | | +--:(netmask)
| | | +--rw netmask? yang:dotted-quad
| | | {ipv4-non-contiguous-netmasks}?
| | +--ro origin? ip-address-origin
| +--rw neighbor* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv4-address-no-zone
| +--rw link-layer-address yang:phys-address
| +--ro origin? neighbor-origin
+--rw ipv6!
+--rw enabled? boolean
+--rw forwarding? boolean
+--rw mtu? uint32
+--rw address* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
| +--rw prefix-length uint8
| +--ro origin? ip-address-origin
| +--ro status? enumeration
+--rw neighbor* [ip]
| +--rw ip inet:ipv6-address-no-zone
| +--rw link-layer-address yang:phys-address
| +--ro origin? neighbor-origin
| +--ro is-router? empty
| +--ro state? enumeration
+--rw dup-addr-detect-transmits? uint32
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 4]RFC 8344 YANG IP Management March 2018
+--rw autoconf
+--rw create-global-addresses? boolean
+--rw create-temporary-addresses? boolean
| {ipv6-privacy-autoconf}?
+--rw temporary-valid-lifetime? uint32
| {ipv6-privacy-autoconf}?
+--rw temporary-preferred-lifetime? uint32
{ipv6-privacy-autoconf}?
The data model defines two containers per interface -- "ipv4" and
"ipv6", representing the IPv4 and IPv6 address families. In each
container, there is a leaf "enabled" that controls whether or not the
address family is enabled on that interface, and a leaf "forwarding"
that controls whether or not IP packet forwarding for the address
family is enabled on the interface. In each container, there is also
a list of addresses and a list of mappings from IP addresses to
link-layer addresses.
3. Relationship to the IP-MIB
If the device implements the IP-MIB [RFC4293], each entry in the
"ipv4/address" and "ipv6/address" lists is mapped to one
ipAddressEntry, where the ipAddressIfIndex refers to the "address"
entry's interface.
The IP-MIB defines objects to control IPv6 Router Advertisement
messages. The corresponding YANG data nodes are defined in
[RFC8022].
The entries in "ipv4/neighbor" and "ipv6/neighbor" are mapped to
ipNetToPhysicalTable.
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 5]RFC 8344 YANG IP Management March 2018
The following table lists the YANG data nodes with corresponding
objects in the IP-MIB.
+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| YANG data node in | IP-MIB object |
| /if:interfaces/if:interface | |
+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| ipv4 | ipv4InterfaceEnableStatus |
| ipv4/enabled | ipv4InterfaceEnableStatus |
| ipv4/address | ipAddressEntry |
| ipv4/address/ip | ipAddressAddrType |
| | ipAddressAddr |
| ipv4/neighbor | ipNetToPhysicalEntry |
| ipv4/neighbor/ip | ipNetToPhysicalNetAddressType |
| | ipNetToPhysicalNetAddress |
| ipv4/neighbor/link-layer-address | ipNetToPhysicalPhysAddress |
| ipv4/neighbor/origin | ipNetToPhysicalType |
| ipv6 | ipv6InterfaceEnableStatus |
| ipv6/enabled | ipv6InterfaceEnableStatus |
| ipv6/forwarding | ipv6InterfaceForwarding |
| ipv6/address | ipAddressEntry |
| ipv6/address/ip | ipAddressAddrType |
| | ipAddressAddr |
| ipv4/address/origin | ipAddressOrigin |
| ipv6/address/status | ipAddressStatus |
| ipv6/neighbor | ipNetToPhysicalEntry |
| ipv6/neighbor/ip | ipNetToPhysicalNetAddressType |
| | ipNetToPhysicalNetAddress |
| ipv6/neighbor/link-layer-address | ipNetToPhysicalPhysAddress |

5. IANA Considerations
This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration has been
made.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip
Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names"
registry [RFC6020].
Name: ietf-ip
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip
Prefix: ip
Reference: RFC 8344
6. Security Considerations
The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer
is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
[RFC5246].
The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to
restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
ipv4/enabled and ipv6/enabled: These leafs are used to enable or
disable IPv4 and IPv6 on a specific interface. By enabling a
protocol on an interface, an attacker might be able to create an
unsecured path into a node (or through it if routing is also
enabled). By disabling a protocol on an interface, an attacker
Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 27]RFC 8344 YANG IP Management March 2018
might be able to force packets to be routed through some other
interface or deny access to some or all of the network via that
protocol.
ipv4/address and ipv6/address: These lists specify the configured IP
addresses on an interface. By modifying this information, an
attacker can cause a node to either ignore messages destined to it
or accept (at least at the IP layer) messages it would otherwise
ignore. The use of filtering or security associations may reduce
the potential damage in the latter case.
ipv4/forwarding and ipv6/forwarding: These leafs allow a client to
enable or disable the forwarding functions on the entity. By
disabling the forwarding functions, an attacker would possibly be
able to deny service to users. By enabling the forwarding
functions, an attacker could open a conduit into an area. This
might result in the area providing transit for packets it
shouldn't, or it might allow the attacker access to the area,
bypassing security safeguards.
ipv6/autoconf: The leafs in this branch control the
autoconfiguration of IPv6 addresses and, in particular, whether or
not temporary addresses are used. By modifying the corresponding
leafs, an attacker might impact the addresses used by a node and
-- thus, indirectly -- the privacy of the users using the node.
ipv4/mtu and ipv6/mtu: Setting these leafs to very small values can
be used to slow down interfaces.
