BiermanRequest for Comments: 6470 BrocadeCategory: Standards Track February 2012ISSN: 2070-1721Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Base NotificationsAbstract The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides mechanisms to manipulate configuration datastores. However, client applications often need to be aware of common events, such as a change in NETCONF server capabilities, that may impact management applications. Standard mechanisms are needed to support the monitoring of the base system events within the NETCONF server. This document defines a YANG module that allows a NETCONF client to receive notifications for some common system events.Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.

However, client applications often need to be aware of common events, such as a change in NETCONF server capabilities, that may impact management applications. Standard mechanisms are needed to support the monitoring of the base system events within the NETCONF server. This document defines a YANG module [RFC6020] that allows a NETCONF client to receive notifications for some common system events.1.1. 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 [RFC2119]. The following terms are defined in [RFC6241]: o client o datastore o protocol operation o server The following terms are defined in [RFC5277]: o event o stream o subscription The following term is defined in [RFC6020]: o data nodeBierman Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 6470 NETCONF Base Notifications February 20122. YANG Module for NETCONF Base Notifications2.1. Overview The YANG module defined within this document specifies a small number of event notification messages for use within the 'NETCONF' stream, and accessible to clients via the subscription mechanism described in [RFC5277]. This module imports data types from the 'ietf-netconf' module defined in [RFC6241] and 'ietf-inet-types' module defined in [RFC6021]. These notifications pertain to configuration and monitoring portions of the managed system, not the entire system. A server MUST report events that are directly related to the NETCONF protocol. A server MAY report events for non-NETCONF management sessions, using the 'session-id' value of zero. This module defines the following notifications for the 'NETCONF' stream to notify a client application that the NETCONF server state has changed: netconf-config-change: Generated when the NETCONF server detects that the <running> or <startup> configuration datastore has been changed by a management session. The notification summarizes the edits that have been detected. netconf-capability-change: Generated when the NETCONF server detects that the server capabilities have changed. Indicates which capabilities have been added, deleted, and/or modified. The manner in which a server capability is changed is outside the scope of this document. netconf-session-start: Generated when a NETCONF server detects that a NETCONF session has started. A server MAY generate this event for non-NETCONF management sessions. Indicates the identity of the user that started the session. netconf-session-end: Generated when a NETCONF server detects that a NETCONF session has terminated. A server MAY optionally generate this event for non-NETCONF management sessions. Indicates the identity of the user that owned the session, and why the session was terminated.Bierman Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 6470 NETCONF Base Notifications February 2012 netconf-confirmed-commit: Generated when a NETCONF server detects that a confirmed-commit event has occurred. Indicates the event and the current state of the confirmed-commit procedure in progress.2.2.

IANA Considerations This document registers one XML namespace URN in the 'IETF XML registry', following the format defined in [RFC3688]. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-notifications Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.Bierman Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 6470 NETCONF Base Notifications February 2012 This document registers one module name in the 'YANG Module Names' registry, defined in [RFC6020]. name: ietf-netconf-notifications prefix: ncn namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-notifications RFC: 64704. Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH, defined in [RFC6242]. Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: /netconf-config-change: Event type itself indicates that the system configuration has changed. This event could alert an attacker that specific configuration data nodes have been altered. /netconf-config-change/changed-by: Indicates whether the server or a specific user management session made the configuration change. Identifies the user name, session-id, and source host address associated with the configuration change, if any. /netconf-config-change/datastore: Indicates which datastore has been changed. This data can be used to determine if the non-volatile startup configuration data has been changed. /netconf-config-change/edit: Identifies the specific edit operations and specific datastore subtree(s) that have changed. This data could be used to determine if specific server vulnerabilities may now be present.Bierman Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 6470 NETCONF Base Notifications February 2012 /netconf-capability-change: Event type itself indicates that the system capabilities have changed, and may now be vulnerable to unspecified attacks. An attacker will likely need to understand the content represented by specific capability URI strings. For example, knowing that a packet capture monitoring capability has been added to the system might help an attacker identify the device for possible unauthorized eavesdropping. /netconf-capability-change/changed-by: Indicates whether the server or a specific user management session made the capability change. Identifies the user name, session-id, and source host address associated with the capability change, if any. /netconf-capability-change/added-capability: Indicates the specific capability URIs that have been added. This data could be used to determine if specific server vulnerabilities may now be present. /netconf-capability-change/deleted-capability: Indicates the specific capability URIs that have been deleted. This data could be used to determine if specific server vulnerabilities may now be present. /netconf-capability-change/modified-capability: Indicates the specific capability URIs that have been modified. This data could be used to determine if specific server vulnerabilities may now be present. /netconf-session-start: Event type itself indicates that a NETCONF or other management session may start altering the device configuration and/or state. It may be possible for an attacker to alter the configuration by somehow taking advantage of another session concurrently editing an unlocked datastore. /netconf-session-start/username: Indicates the user name associated with the session. /netconf-session-start/source-host: Indicates the source host address associated with the session. /netconf-session-end: Event type itself indicates that a NETCONF or other management session may be finished altering the device configuration. This event could alert an attacker that a datastore may have been altered. /netconf-session-end/username: Indicates the user name associated with the session. /netconf-session-end/source-host: Indicates the source host address associated with the session.Bierman Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 6470 NETCONF Base Notifications February 2012 /netconf-confirmed-commit: Event type itself indicates that the <running> datastore may have changed. This event could alert an attacker that the device behavior has changed. /netconf-confirmed-commit/username: Indicates the user name associated with the session. /netconf-confirmed-commit/source-host: Indicates the source host address associated with the session. /netconf-confirmed-commit/confirm-event: Indicates the specific confirmed-commit state change that occurred. A value of 'complete' probably indicates that the <running> datastore has changed. /netconf-confirmed-commit/timeout: Indicates the number of seconds in the future when the <running> datastore may change, due to the server reverting to an older configuration.5.
