Internet Engineering Task Force R. Wilton, Ed. Internet-Draft D. Ball Intended status: Informational T. Singh Expires: May 3, 2018 Cisco Systems S. Sivaraj Juniper Networks October 30, 2017 Sub-interface VLAN YANG Data Models draft-ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model-03 Abstract This document defines YANG modules to add support for classifying traffic received on interfaces as Ethernet/VLAN framed packets to sub-interfaces based on the fields available in the Ethernet/VLAN frame headers. These modules allow configuration of Layer 3 and Layer 2 sub-interfaces (e.g. attachment circuits) that can interoperate with IETF based forwarding protocols; such as IP and L3VPN services; or L2VPN services like VPWS, VPLS, and EVPN. The sub-interfaces also interoperate with VLAN tagged traffic orginating from an IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridge. Primarily the classification is based on VLAN identifiers in the 802.1Q VLAN tags, but the model also has support for matching on some other layer 2 frame header fields and is designed to be extensible to match on other arbitrary header fields. The model differs from an IEEE 802.1Q bridge model in that the configuration is interface/sub-interface based as opposed to being based on membership of an 802.1Q VLAN bridge.

Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 1. Introduction This document defines two YANG [RFC7950] modules that augment the encapsulation choice YANG element defined in Interface Extensions YANG [I-D.ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang] and the generic interfaces data model defined in [RFC7223]. The two modules provide configuration nodes to support classification of Ethernet/VLAN traffic to sub- interfaces, that can have interface based feature and service configuration applied to them. The purpose of these models is to allow IETF defined forwarding protocols, such as IPv6 [RFC2460], Ethernet Pseudo Wires [RFC4448] and VPLS [RFC4761] [RFC4762] to be configurable via YANG when interoperating with VLAN tagged traffic received from an IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridge. In the case of layer 2 Ethernet services, the flexible encapsulation module also supports flexible rewriting of the VLAN tags contained the in frame header. For reference, a comparison between the sub-interface based YANG model documented in this draft and an IEEE 802.1Q bridge model is described in Appendix A. In summary, the YANG modules defined in this internet draft are: if-l3-vlan.yang - Defines the model for basic classification of VLAN tagged traffic to L3 transport services flexible-encapsulation.yang - Defines the model for flexible classification of Ethernet/VLAN traffic to L2 transport services 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. Sub-interface: A sub-interface is a small augmentation of a regular interface in the standard YANG module for Interface Management that represents a subset of the traffic handled by its parent interface. As such, it supports both configuration and operational data using any other YANG models that augment or reference interfaces in the normal way. It is defined in Interface Extensions YANG [I-D.ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang]. Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 1.2. 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 or 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 The primary aim of the YANG modules contained in this draft is to provide the core model that is required to implement VLAN transport services on router based devices that is fully compatible with IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridges. A secondary aim is for the modules to be structured in such a way that they can be cleanly extended in future. 2.1. Interoperability with IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridges The modules defined in this document are designed to fully interoperate with IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridges. In particular, the models are restricted to only matching, adding, or rewriting the 802.1Q VLAN tags in frames in ways that are compatible with IEEE 802.1Q compliant bridges. 2.2. Extensibility The modules are structured in such a way that they can be sensibly extended. In particular: The tag stack is represented as a list to allow a tag stack of more than two tags to be supported if necessary in future. The tag stack list elements allow other models, or vendors, to include additional forms of tag matching and rewriting. The Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 intention, however, is that it should not be necessary to have any vendor specific extensions to any of the YANG models defined in this document to implement standard Ethernet and VLAN services. 3. L3 Interface VLAN Model The L3 Interface VLAN model provides appropriate leaves for termination of an 802.1Q VLAN tagged segment to a sub-interface based L3 service. It allows for termination of traffic with up to two 802.1Q VLAN tags. The "if-l3-vlan" YANG module has the following structure: module: ietf-if-l3-vlan augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/if-cmn:encapsulation/ if-cmn:encaps-type: +--:(dot1q-vlan) +--rw dot1q-vlan +--rw outer-tag! | +--rw tag-type dot1q-tag-type | +--rw vlan-id ieee:vlanid +--rw second-tag! +--rw tag-type dot1q-tag-type +--rw vlan-id ieee:vlanid 4. Flexible Encapsulation Model The Flexible Encapsulation model is designed to allow for the flexible provisioning of layer 2 services. It provides the capability to classify Ethernet/VLAN frames received on an Ethernet trunk interface to sub-interfaces based on the fields available in the layer 2 headers. Once classified to sub-interfaces, it provides the capability to selectively modify fields within the layer 2 headers before the frame is handed off to the appropriate forwarding code for further handling. The model supports a common core set of layer 2 header matches based on the 802.1Q tag type and VLAN Ids contained within the header up to a tag stack depth of two tags. The model supports flexible rewrites of the layer 2 frame header for data frames as they are processed on the interface. It defines a set of standard tag manipulations that allow for the insertion, removal, or rewrite of one or two 802.1Q VLAN tags. The expectation is that manipulations are generally implemented in a symmetrical fashion, i.e. if a manipulation is performed on ingress traffic on an Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 interface then the reverse manipulation is always performed on egress traffic out of the same interface. However, the model also allows for asymmetrical rewrites, which may be required to implement some forwarding models (such as E-Tree). The structure of the model is currently limited to matching or rewriting a maximum of two 802.1Q tags in the frame header but has been designed to be easily extensible to matching/rewriting three or more VLAN tags in future, if required. The final aim for the model design is for it to be cleanly extensible to add in additional match and rewrite criteria of the layer 2 header, such as matching on the source or destination MAC address, PCP or DEI fields in the 802.1Q tags, or the EtherType of the frame payload. Rewrites can also be extended to allow for modification of other fields within the layer 2 frame header. The "flexible-encapsulation" YANG module has the following structure: module: ietf-flexible-encapsulation augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/if-cmn:encapsulation/ if-cmn:encaps-type: +--:(flexible) +--rw flexible +--rw match | +--rw (match-type) | +--:(default) | | +--rw default? empty | +--:(untagged) | | +--rw untagged? empty | +--:(dot1q-priority-tagged) | | +--rw dot1q-priority-tagged | | +--rw tag-type? dot1q-types:dot1q-tag-type | +--:(dot1q-vlan-tagged) | +--rw dot1q-vlan-tagged | +--rw outer-tag! | | +--rw tag-type dot1q-tag-type | | +--rw vlan-id union | +--rw second-tag! | | +--rw tag-type dot1q-tag-type | | +--rw vlan-id union | +--rw match-exact-tags? empty +--rw rewrite {flexible-rewrites}? | +--rw (direction)? | +--:(symmetrical) | | +--rw symmetrical | | +--rw dot1q-tag-rewrite {dot1q-tag-rewrites}?

The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory to implement secure transport is SSH RFC 6242 [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model RFC 6536 [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 this 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) 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: 11.1. if-l3-vlan.yang The nodes in the if-l3-vlan YANG module are concerned with matching particular frames received on the network device to connect them to a layer 3 forwarding instance, and as such adding/modifying/deleting these nodes has a high risk of causing traffic to be lost because it is not being classified correctly, or is being classified to a separate sub-interface. The nodes, all under the subtree /interfaces/interface/encapsulation/dot1q-vlan, that are sensitive to this are: o outer-tag/tag-type o outer-tag/vlan-id o second-tag/tag-type o second-tag/vlan-id 11.2. flexible-encapsulation.yang There are many nodes in the flexible-encapsulation YANG module that are concerned with matching particular frames received on the network device, and as such adding/modifying/deleting these nodes has a high risk of causing traffic to be lost because it is not being classified correctly, or is being classified to a separate sub-interface. The nodes, all under the subtree /interfaces/interface/encapsulation/flexible/match, that are sensitive to this are: Wilton, et al.

Comparison with the IEEE 802.1Q Configuration Model In addition to the sub-interface based YANG model proposed here, the IEEE 802.1Q working group is also developing a YANG model for the configuration of 802.1Q VLANs. This raises the valid question as to whether the models overlap and whether it is necessary or beneficial Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 24] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 to have two different models for superficially similar constructs. This section aims to answer that question by summarizing and comparing the two models. A.1. Sub-interface based configuration model overview The key features of the sub-interface based configuration model can be summarized as: o The model is primarily designed to enable layer 2 and layer 3 services on Ethernet interfaces that can be defined in a very flexible way to meet the varied requirements of service providers. o Traffic is classified from an Ethernet-like interface to sub- interfaces based on fields in the layer 2 header. This is often based on VLAN Ids contained in the frame, but the model is extensible to other arbitrary fields in the frame header. o Sub-interfaces are just a type of if:interface and hence support any feature configuration YANG models that can be applied generally to interfaces. For example, QoS or ACL models that reference if:interface can be applied to the sub-interfaces, or the sub-interface can be used as an Access Circuit in L2VPN or L3VPN models that reference if:interface. o In the sub-interface based configuration model, the classification of traffic arriving on an interface to a given sub-interface, based on fields in the layer 2 header, is completely independent of how the traffic is forwarded. The sub-interface can be referenced (via references to if:interface) by other models that specify how traffic is forwarded; thus sub-interfaces can support multiple different forwarding paradigms, including but not limited to: layer 3 (IPv4/IPv6), layer 2 pseudowires (over MPLS or IP), VPLS instances, EVPN instance. o The model is flexible in the scope of the VLAN Identifier space. I.e. by default VLAN Ids can be scoped locally to a single Ethernet-like trunk interface, but the scope is determined by the forwarding paradigm that is used. A.2. IEEE 802.1Q Bridge Configuration Model Overview The key features of the IEEE 802.1Q bridge configuration model can be summarized as: o Each VLAN bridge component has a set of Ethernet interfaces that are members of that bridge. Sub-interfaces are not used, nor required in the 802.1Q bridge model. Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 25] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 o Within a VLAN bridge component, the VLAN tag in the packet is used, along with the destination MAC address, to determine how to forward the packet. Other forwarding paradigms are not supported by the 802.1Q model. o Classification of traffic to a VLAN bridge component is based only on the Ethernet interface that it arrived on. o VLAN Identifiers are scoped to a VLAN bridge component. Often devices only support a single bridge component and hence VLANs are scoped globally within the device. o Feature configuration is specified in the context of the bridge, or particular VLANs on a bridge. A.3. Possible Overlap Between the Two Models Both models can be used for configuring similar basic layer 2 forwarding topologies. The 802.1Q bridge configuration model is optimised for configuring Virtual LANs that span across enterprises and data centers. The sub-interface model can also be used for configuring equivalent Virtual LAN networks that span across enterprises and data centers, but often requires more configuration to be able to configure the equivalent constructs to the 802.1Q bridge model. The sub-interface model really excels when implementing flexible L2 and L3 services, where those services may be handled on the same physical interface, and where the VLAN Identifier is being solely used to identify the customer or service that is being provided rather than a Virtual LAN. The sub-interface model provides more flexibility as to how traffic can be classified, how features can be applied to traffic streams, and how the traffic is to be forwarded. Conversely, the 802.1Q bridge model can also be use to implement L2 services in some scenarios, but only if the forwarding paradigm being used to implement the service is the native Ethernet forwarding specified in 802.1Q - other forwarding paradigms such as pseudowires or VPLS are not supported. The 802.1Q bridge model does not implement L3 services at all, although this can be partly mitigated by using a virtual L3 interface construct that is a separate logical Ethernet-like interface which is a member of the bridge. In conclusion, it is valid for both of these models to exist since they have different deployment scenarios for which they are optimized. Devices may choose which of the models (or both) to Wilton, et al. Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 26] Internet-Draft Sub-interface VLAN YANG October 2017 implement depending on what functionality the device is being designed for.
