Introduction This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for the management of network interfaces. It is expected that interface-type-specific data models augment the generic interfaces data model defined in this document. Network interfaces are central to the management of many Internet protocols. Thus, it is important to establish a common data model for how interfaces are identified, configured, and monitored. The data model includes configuration data and state data (status information and counters for the collection of statistics).Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 20141.1. 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 inBCP 14 [RFC2119]. The following terms are used within this document: o system-controlled interface: An interface is said to be system- controlled if the system creates and deletes the interface independently of what has been explicitly configured. Examples are interfaces representing physical hardware that appear and disappear when hardware (e.g., a line card or hot-pluggable wireless interface) is added or removed. System-controlled interfaces may also appear if a certain functionality is enabled (e.g., a loopback interface might appear if the IP protocol stack is enabled). o user-controlled interface: An interface is said to be user- controlled if the creation of the interface is controlled by adding explicit interface configuration to the running configuration datastore and the removal of the interface is controlled by removing explicit interface configuration from the running configuration datastore. Examples are VLAN interfaces configured on a system-controlled Ethernet interface. The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined here: o client o configuration data o server o state data The following terms are defined in [RFC6020] and are not redefined here: o augment o data model o data node o presence containerBjorklund Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 20141.2. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration (read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list. o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":"). o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown.2. Objectives This section describes some of the design objectives for the model presented inSection 5. o It is recognized that existing implementations will have to map the interface data model defined in this memo to their proprietary native data model. To facilitate such mappings, the data model should be simple. o The data model should be suitable for new implementations to use as is, without requiring a mapping to a different native model. o References to interfaces should be as simple as possible, preferably by using a single leafref. o The mapping to ifIndex [RFC2863] used by the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to identify interfaces must be clear. o The model must support interface layering: both (1) simple layering, where one interface is layered on top of exactly one other interface, and (2) more complex scenarios, where one interface results from the aggregation of N other interfaces or when N interfaces are multiplexed over one other interface.Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 o The data model should support the pre-provisioning of interface configuration, i.e., it should be possible to configure an interface whose physical interface hardware is not present on the device. It is recommended that devices that support dynamic addition and removal of physical interfaces also support pre-provisioning. o The data model should support physical interfaces as well as logical interfaces. o The data model should include read-only counters in order to gather statistics for sent and received octets and packets, received packets with errors, and packets that could not be sent due to errors.3. Interfaces Data Model This document defines the YANG module "ietf-interfaces", which has the following structure: +--rw interfaces | +--rw interface* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw description? string | +--rw type identityref | +--rw enabled? boolean | +--rw link-up-down-trap-enable? enumeration +--ro interfaces-state +--ro interface* [name] +--ro name string +--ro type identityref +--ro admin-status enumeration +--ro oper-status enumeration +--ro last-change? yang:date-and-time +--ro if-index int32 +--ro phys-address? yang:phys-address +--ro higher-layer-if* interface-state-ref +--ro lower-layer-if* interface-state-ref +--ro speed? yang:gauge64 +--ro statistics +--ro discontinuity-time yang:date-and-time +--ro in-octets? yang:counter64 +--ro in-unicast-pkts? yang:counter64 +--ro in-broadcast-pkts? yang:counter64 +--ro in-multicast-pkts? yang:counter64 +--ro in-discards? yang:counter32 +--ro in-errors? yang:counter32 +--ro in-unknown-protos? yang:counter32Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 5]

The Interface Lists The data model for interfaces presented in this document uses a flat list of interfaces. Each interface in the list is identified by its name. Furthermore, each interface has a mandatory "type" leaf. The "iana-if-type" module [RFC7224] defines YANG identities for the interface types in the IANA-maintained "ifType definitions" registry. There is one list of configured interfaces ("/interfaces/interface"), and a separate list for the operational state of all interfaces ("/interfaces-state/interface"). It is expected that interface-type-specific data models augment the interface lists and possibly use the "type" leaf to make the augmentation conditional. As an example of such an interface-type-specific augmentation, consider this YANG snippet. For a more complete example, seeAppendix A. import interfaces { prefix "if"; } import iana-if-type { prefix ianaift; } augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface" { when "if:type = 'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd'"; container ethernet { leaf duplex { ... } } }Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 For system-controlled interfaces, the "name" is the device-specific name of the interface. The 'config false' list "/interfaces-state/interface" contains all existing interfaces on the device. If the device supports arbitrarily named user-controlled interfaces, the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server advertises the "arbitrary-names" feature. If the device does not advertise this feature, the names of user-controlled interfaces MUST match the device's naming scheme. How a client can learn the naming scheme of such devices is outside the scope of this document. See Appendices E.1 and E.2 for examples. When a system-controlled interface is created by the system, the system tries to apply the interface configuration in "/interfaces/ interface" with the same name as the new interface. If no such interface configuration is found, or if the configured type does not match the real interface type, the system creates the interface without applying explicit configuration. When a user-controlled interface is created, the configuration determines the name of the interface. Depending on the operating system and the physical attachment point to which a network interface may be attached or removed, it may be impossible for an implementation to provide predictable and consistent names for system-controlled interfaces across insertion/ removal cycles as well as in anticipation of initial insertion. The ability to provide configurations for such interfaces is therefore dependent on the implementation and cannot be assumed in all cases.3.2. Interface References An interface is identified by its name, which is unique within the server. This property is captured in the "interface-ref" and "interface-state-ref" typedefs, which other YANG modules SHOULD use when they need to reference a configured interface or operationally used interface, respectively.3.3. Interface Layering There is no generic mechanism for how an interface is configured to be layered on top of some other interface. It is expected that interface-type-specific models define their own data nodes for interface layering by using "interface-ref" types to reference lower layers.Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 Below is an example of a model with such nodes. For a more complete example, seeAppendix B. import interfaces { prefix "if"; } import iana-if-type { prefix ianaift; } augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface" { when "if:type = 'ianaift:ieee8023adLag'"; leaf-list slave-if { type if:interface-ref; must "/if:interfaces/if:interface[if:name = current()]" + "/if:type = 'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd'" { description "The type of a slave interface must be 'ethernetCsmacd'."; } } // other bonding config params, failover times, etc. } While the interface layering is configured in interface-type-specific models, two generic state data leaf-lists, "higher-layer-if" and "lower-layer-if", represent a read-only view of the interface layering hierarchy.4. Relationship to the IF-MIB If the device implements the IF-MIB [RFC2863], each entry in the "/ interfaces-state/interface" list is typically mapped to one ifEntry. The "if-index" leaf MUST contain the value of the corresponding ifEntry's ifIndex. In most cases, the "name" of an "/interfaces-state/interface" entry is mapped to ifName. The IF-MIB allows two different ifEntries to have the same ifName. Devices that support this feature and also support the data model defined in this document cannot have a 1-1 mapping between the "name" leaf and ifName. The configured "description" of an "interface" has traditionally been mapped to ifAlias in some implementations. This document allows this mapping, but implementers should be aware of the differences in the value space and persistence for these objects. See the YANG module definition of the leaf "description" inSection 5 for details.Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 The IF-MIB also defines the writable object ifPromiscuousMode. Since this object typically is not implemented as a configuration object by SNMP agents, it is not mapped to the "ietf-interfaces" module. The ifMtu object from the IF-MIB is not mapped to the "ietf-interfaces" module. It is expected that interface-type- specific YANG modules provide interface-type-specific MTU leafs by augmenting the "ietf-interfaces" model. There are a number of counters in the IF-MIB that exist in two versions: one with 32 bits and one with 64 bits. The 64-bit versions were added to support high-speed interfaces with a data rate greater than 20,000,000 bits/second. Today's implementations generally support such high-speed interfaces, and hence only 64-bit counters are provided in this data model. Note that NETCONF and SNMP may differ in the time granularity in which they provide access to the counters. For example, it is common that SNMP implementations cache counter values for some time. The objects ifDescr and ifConnectorPresent from the IF-MIB are not mapped to the "ietf-interfaces" module.Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 9]

IANA Considerations This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format inRFC 3688, the following registration has been made. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces Registrant Contact: The IESG. 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-interfaces namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces prefix: if reference:RFC 72237. 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 [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content. There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which 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>)Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 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: /interfaces/interface: This list specifies the configured interfaces on a device. Unauthorized access to this list could cause the device to ignore packets it should receive and process. /interfaces/interface/enabled: This leaf controls whether an interface is enabled or not. Unauthorized access to this leaf could cause the device to ignore packets it should receive and process.8.

RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014Appendix A. Example: Ethernet Interface Module This section gives a simple example of how an Ethernet interface module could be defined. It demonstrates how media-specific configuration parameters can be conditionally augmented to the generic interface list. It also shows how operational state parameters can be conditionally augmented to the operational interface list. The example is not intended as a complete module for Ethernet configuration. module ex-ethernet { namespace "http://example.com/ethernet"; prefix "eth"; import ietf-interfaces { prefix if; } import iana-if-type { prefix ianaift; } // configuration parameters for Ethernet interfaces augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface" { when "if:type = 'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd'"; container ethernet { choice transmission-params { case auto { leaf auto-negotiate { type empty; } } case manual { leaf duplex { type enumeration { enum "half"; enum "full"; } }Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 29]

Example: Ethernet Bonding Interface Module This section gives an example of how interface layering can be defined. An Ethernet bonding interface that bonds several Ethernet interfaces into one logical interface is defined. module ex-ethernet-bonding { namespace "http://example.com/ethernet-bonding"; prefix "bond"; import ietf-interfaces { prefix if; } import iana-if-type { prefix ianaift; }Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 30]

Example: VLAN Interface Module This section gives an example of how a VLAN interface module can be defined. module ex-vlan { namespace "http://example.com/vlan"; prefix "vlan"; import ietf-interfaces { prefix if; } import iana-if-type { prefix ianaift; } augment "/if:interfaces/if:interface" { when "if:type = 'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd' or if:type = 'ianaift:ieee8023adLag'"; leaf vlan-tagging { type boolean; default false; } }Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 31]

Examples: Interface Naming Schemes This section gives examples of some implementation strategies. The examples make use of the example data model "ex-vlan" (seeAppendix C) to show how user-controlled interfaces can be configured.E.1. Router with Restricted Interface Names In this example, a router has support for 4 line cards, each with 8 ports. The slots for the cards are physically numbered from 0 to 3, and the ports on each card from 0 to 7. Each card has Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports. The device-specific names for these physical interfaces are "fastethernet-N/M" or "gigabitethernet-N/M". The name of a VLAN interface is restricted to the form "<physical-interface-name>.<subinterface-number>". It is assumed that the operator is aware of this naming scheme. The implementation auto-initializes the value for "type" based on the interface name. The NETCONF server does not advertise the "arbitrary-names" feature in the <hello> message. An operator can configure a physical interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>fastethernet-1/0</name> </interface>Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 35]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 When the server processes this request, it will set the leaf "type" to "ianaift:ethernetCsmacd". Thus, if the client performs a <get-config> right after the <edit-config> above, it will get: <interface> <name>fastethernet-1/0</name> <type>ianaift:ethernetCsmacd</type> </interface> The client can configure a VLAN interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>fastethernet-1/0.10005</name> <type>ianaift:l2vlan</type> <vlan:base-interface>fastethernet-1/0</vlan:base-interface> <vlan:vlan-id>5</vlan:vlan-id> </interface> If the client tries to change the type of the physical interface with an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="merge"> <name>fastethernet-1/0</name> <type>ianaift:tunnel</type> </interface> then the server will reply with an "invalid-value" error, since the new type does not match the name.E.2. Router with Arbitrary Interface Names In this example, a router has support for 4 line cards, each with 8 ports. The slots for the cards are physically numbered from 0 to 3, and the ports on each card from 0 to 7. Each card has Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports. The device-specific names for these physical interfaces are "fastethernet-N/M" or "gigabitethernet-N/M". The implementation does not restrict the user-controlled interface names. This allows an operator to more easily apply the interface configuration to a different interface. However, the additional level of indirection also makes it a bit more complex to map interface names found in other protocols to configuration entries. The NETCONF server advertises the "arbitrary-names" feature in the <hello> message.Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 36]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014 Physical interfaces are configured as inAppendix E.1. An operator can configure a VLAN interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>acme-interface</name> <type>ianaift:l2vlan</type> <vlan:base-interface>fastethernet-1/0</vlan:base-interface> <vlan:vlan-id>5</vlan:vlan-id> </interface> If necessary, the operator can move the configuration named "acme-interface" over to a different physical interface with an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="merge"> <name>acme-interface</name> <vlan:base-interface>fastethernet-1/1</vlan:base-interface> </interface>E.3. Ethernet Switch with Restricted Interface Names In this example, an Ethernet switch has a number of ports, each identified by a simple port number. The device-specific names for the physical interfaces are numbers that match the physical port number. An operator can configure a physical interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>6</name> </interface> When the server processes this request, it will set the leaf "type" to "ianaift:ethernetCsmacd". Thus, if the client performs a <get-config> right after the <edit-config> above, it will get: <interface> <name>6</name> <type>ianaift:ethernetCsmacd</type> </interface>Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 37]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014E.4. Generic Host with Restricted Interface Names In this example, a generic host has interfaces named by the kernel. The system identifies the physical interface by the name assigned by the operating system to the interface. The name of a VLAN interface is restricted to the form "<physical-interface-name>:<vlan-number>". The NETCONF server does not advertise the "arbitrary-names" feature in the <hello> message. An operator can configure an interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>eth8</name> </interface> When the server processes this request, it will set the leaf "type" to "ianaift:ethernetCsmacd". Thus, if the client performs a <get-config> right after the <edit-config> above, it will get: <interface> <name>eth8</name> <type>ianaift:ethernetCsmacd</type> </interface> The client can configure a VLAN interface by sending an <edit-config> containing: <interface nc:operation="create"> <name>eth8:5</name> <type>ianaift:l2vlan</type> <vlan:base-interface>eth8</vlan:base-interface> <vlan:vlan-id>5</vlan:vlan-id> </interface>Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 38]
RFC 7223 YANG Interface Management May 2014E.5. Generic Host with Arbitrary Interface Names In this example, a generic host has interfaces named by the kernel. The system identifies the physical interface by the name assigned by the operating system to the interface. The implementation does not restrict the user-controlled interface names. This allows an operator to more easily apply the interface configuration to a different interface. However, the additional level of indirection also makes it a bit more complex to map interface names found in other protocols to configuration entries.
