3. IANA Considerations

3.1. Updates to the IETF XML Registry

This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registration has been made:

URI

XML

N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

3.2. Updates to the YANG Module Names Registry

This document registers one YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]. Following the format in [RFC6020], the following registration has been made:

name

ietf-isis-reverse-metric

namespace

urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-isis-reverse-metric

prefix

isis-rmetric

reference

RFC XXXX (RFC Ed.: replace XXX with actual RFC number and remove this note.)

4. 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 [RFC8446].

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.

The YANG module defined in this document can enable, disable and modify the behavior of metrics used by routing. For the security implications regarding these types of changes consult [RFC8500] which defines the functionality.

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:

Under "/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/" +
      "rt:control-plane-protocol/isis:isis"

  - /isis-rmetric:reverse-metric/isis-rmetric:enable-receive
Under "/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/" +
      "rt:control-plane-protocol/isis:isis/" +
      "isis:interfaces/isis:interface/" +
      "isis-rmetric:reverse-metric"

  - /isis-rmetric:metric
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:whole-lan
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:allow-unreachable
  - /isis-rmetric:exclude-te-metric
Under "/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/" +
      "rt:control-plane-protocol/isis:isis/" +
      "isis:interfaces/isis:interface/" +
      "isis:level-1/isis-rmetric:reverse-metric"

  - /isis-rmetric:metric
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:whole-lan
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:allow-unreachable
  - /isis-rmetric:exclude-te-metric
Under "/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/" +
      "rt:control-plane-protocol/isis:isis/" +
      "isis:interfaces/isis:interface/" +
      "isis:level-2/isis-rmetric:reverse-metric"

  - /isis-rmetric:metric
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:whole-lan
  - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:allow-unreachable
  - /isis-rmetric:exclude-te-metric

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:

All nodes are under the following subtree, so that prefix will be assumed for each node description.

Under "/rt:routing/rt:control-plane-protocols/" +
      "rt:control-plane-protocol/isis:isis/" +
      "isis:interfaces/isis:interface/" +
      "isis:adjacencies/isis:adjacency/" +
      "isis-rmetric:reverse-metric"

    - /isis-rmetric:metric
    - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:whole-lan
    - /isis-rmetric:flags/isis-rmetric:allow-unreachable
    - /isis-rmetric:te-metric
