Interface VLAN YANG Data Models
draft-wilton-intf-vlan-yang-00

Abstract

This document defines a YANG configuration data model for the management of VLAN sub-interfaces that augments the generic interfaces data model defined in RFC 7223 [RFC7223]. It provides support for basic tag matching to allow termination of an L2 VLAN segement into L3 services. It also provides support for flexible matching and rewriting of L2 header fields for L2 services.

The model differs from an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN derived model in that the configuration is interface/sub-interface based as opposed to being VLAN based.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG RFC 6020 [RFC6020] data model for the management of network interfaces. It defines interface-type specific extensions that augment the generic interfaces data model defined in RFC 7223 [RFC7223] to support configuration for VLAN sub-interfaces terminated to transport services at either layer 2 or layer 3.

It is defined as five separate YANG modules that each focus on a particular area of functionality. The YANG modules defined in this internet draft are:

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].

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:

2. Objectives

The aim of of the YANG models contained in this draft is to provide the core model that is required to implement VLAN transport services on router based devices.

The secondary aim is to make the model cleanly extensible, both to handle greater depths of VLAN tag stacks if required, and also to allow vendors to extend the model to include additional forms of tag matching and rewriting if desired.

However, the intention is that it should not be necessary to have any vendor specific extentions to any of the YANG models defined in this document to implement standard Ethernet and VLAN services.

3. 802.1Q Types

The 802.1Q types YANG module contains type definitions for the basic fields defined in an 802.1Q VLAN tag. It also provides YANG groupings for identifying VLAN tags in various ways that can be used by other YANG modules where required.

4. Interfaces Common Model

The Interfaces Common model provides some basic extentions to the IETF interfaces YANG module for Ethernet and VLAN sub-interfaces.

The model provides:

The "interface-common" YANG module, has the following structure:

augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
   +--rw encapsulation
      +--rw (encaps-type)?
augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
   +--rw l2-mtu?   uint16
augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
   +--rw transport-layer?   enumeration
augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
   +--rw parent-interface?   if:interface-ref
            

5. L3 Interface VLAN Model

The L3 Interface VLAN model provides appropriate leaves for terminating an 802.1Q VLAN tagged segment to a sub-interface based L3 service. It allows for terminating of traffic with up to two 802.1Q VLAN tags.

The "if-l3-vlan" YANG module has the following structure:

augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/if-cmn:encapsulation/
  if-cmn:encaps-type:
   +--:(vlan)
      +--rw vlan
         +--rw tags
            +--rw tag* [index]
               +--rw index        uint8
               +--rw dot1q-tag
                  +--rw tag-type    dot1q-tag-type
                  +--rw vlan-id     dot1q-vlan-id
            

6. 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 traffic ingressing an interface then the reverse manipulation is always performed on traffic egressing 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:

augment /if:interfaces/if:interface/if-cmn:encapsulation/
  if-cmn:encaps-type:
   +--:(flexible) {flexible-encapsulation-rewrites}?
      +--rw flexible
         +--rw match
         |  +--rw (match-type)
         |     +--:(default)
         |     |  +--rw default?           empty
         |     +--:(untagged)
         |     |  +--rw untagged?          empty
         |     +--:(priority-tagged)
         |     |  +--rw priority-tagged
         |     |     +--rw tag-type?    dot1q:dot1q-tag-type
         |     +--:(vlan-tagged)
         |        +--rw vlan-tagged
         |           +--rw tag* [index]
         |           |  +--rw index        uint8
         |           |  +--rw dot1q-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 tag-rewrite {tag-rewrites}?
               |        +--rw pop-tags?    uint8
               |        +--rw push-tags* [index]
               |           +--rw index        uint8
               |           +--rw dot1q-tag
               |              +--rw tag-type    dot1q-tag-type

                     +--rw tag-rewrite {tag-rewrites}?
                        +--rw pop-tags?    uint8
                        +--rw push-tags* [index]
                           +--rw index        uint8

                              +--rw vlan-id     dot1q-vlan-id

               +--rw vlan-id     dot1q-vlan-id
            

7. L2 BPDU Filtering

The L2 BPDU Filtering model adds a single configurable leaf to specify that BPDU filtering is in operation on a trunk interface.

The "l2-bpdu-filtering" YANG module has the following structure:

augment /if:interfaces/if:interface:
   +--rw bpdu
      +--rw filtering?   enumeration {bpdu-filtering}?
            

8. 802.1Q Types YANG Module

This YANG module has no external imports.

The expectation is that the raw 802.1Q VLAN tag fields types may end up being standardized in IEEE rather than IETF. They are included here to make the model complete.

However, the groupings that can be used to generally identify frames based on the fields in the 802.1Q tag would seem to fit with wherever the model resides.

14. IANA Considerations

This document defines several new YANG module and the authors politely request that IANA assigns unique names to the YANG module files contained within this draft, and also appropriate URIs in the "IETF XML Registry".

15. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol RFC 6241 [RFC6241]. 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:

15.1. interfaces-common.yang

The interfaces-common YANG module contains a leaf to control the L2 MTU of an interface or sub-interface which if changed or deleted could cause traffic loss on the affected interface or sub-interfaces, or it could cause layer 2 tunnels to go down due to a mismatch in negotiated MTU. The following leaf is affected:

15.2. 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/vlan, that are sensitive to this are:

15.3. 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:

There are also many modes in the flexible-encapsulation YANG module that are concerned with rewriting the fields in the L2 header for particular frames received on the network device, and as such adding/modifying/deleting these nodes has a high risk of causing traffic to be dropped or incorrectly processed on peer network devices, or it could cause layer 2 tunnels to go down due to a mismatch in negotiated MTU. The nodes, all under the subtree /interfaces/interface/encapsulation/flexible/rewrite, that are sensitive to this are:

Nodes in the flexible-encapsulation YANG module that are concerned with the VLAN tags to use for traffic sourced from the network element could cause protocol sessions (such as CFM) to fail if they are added, modified or deleted. The nodes, all under the subtree /interfaces/interface/flexible-encapsulation/local-traffic-default-encaps that are sensitive to this are:

15.4. l2-bpdu-filtering.yang

The l2-bpdu-filtering YANG module specifies a single leaf that defines what type of L2 BPDU filtering is in effect. Adding/modifying/deleting the following node could cause instabilities in L2 control protocols which could indirectly cause frame loss of network outages. Affected node:
