Introduction An Access Control List (ACL) is one of the basic elements used to configure device-forwarding behavior. It is used in many networking technologies such as Policy-Based Routing (PBR), firewalls, etc. An ACL is a user-ordered set of rules that is used to filter traffic on a networking device. Each rule is represented by an Access Control Entry (ACE). Each ACE has a group of match criteria and a group of actions. The match criteria allow for the definition of packet headers and metadata, the contents of which must match the definitions. o Packet header matches apply to fields visible in the packet such as address, Class of Service (CoS), or port number. Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 o In case a vendor supports it, metadata matches apply to fields associated with the packet, that are not in the packet header, such as the input interface or length of the packet as received over the wire. The actions specify what to do with the packet when the matching criteria are met. These actions are any operations that would apply to the packet, such as counting, policing, or simply forwarding. The list of potential actions is unbounded depending on the capabilities of the networking devices. Access Control List is also widely known as ACL (pronounced as [ak-uh l]) or Access List. In this document, Access Control List, ACL, and Access List are used interchangeably. The matching of filters and actions in an ACE/ACL is triggered only after the application/attachment of the ACL to an interface, a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) interface, a vty/tty session, a QoS policy, or routing protocols, amongst various other configuration attachment points. Once attached, it is used for filtering traffic using the match criteria in the ACEs and taking appropriate action(s) that has been configured against that ACE. In order to apply an ACL to any attachment point other than an interface, vendors would have to augment the ACL YANG model. 1.1.

Tree Diagram For a reference to the annotations used in the tree diagrams included in this document, please see "YANG Tree Diagrams" [RFC8340]. 2. Problem Statement This document defines a YANG 1.1 data model [RFC7950] for the configuration of ACLs. The model defines matching rules for commonly used protocols such as Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP, and ICMP. If more protocols need to be supported in the future, this base model can be augmented. An example of such an augmentation can be seen in Appendix A. ACL implementations in every device may vary greatly in terms of the filter constructs and actions that they support. Therefore, this document proposes a model that can be augmented by standard extensions and vendor proprietary models. 3. Understanding ACL's Filters and Actions Although different vendors have different ACL data models, there is a common understanding of what an ACL is. A network system usually has a list of ACLs, and each ACL contains an ordered list of rules, also known as ACEs. Each ACE has a group of match criteria and a group of actions. The match criteria allows for definition of the contents of the packet headers or metadata, if supported by the vendor. Packet header matching applies to fields visible in the packet such as address, CoS, or port number. Metadata matching applies to fields associated with the packet, that are not in the packet header, such as the input interface, packet length, or source or destination prefix length. The actions can be any sort of operation from logging to rate-limiting or dropping to simply forwarding. Actions on the first matching ACE are applied with no processing of subsequent ACEs. Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 The model also includes a container to hold overall operational state for each ACL and for each ACE. One ACL can be applied to multiple targets within the device, such as the interface of a networking device, applications or features running in the device, etc. When applied to interfaces of a networked device, distinct ACLs are defined for the ingress (input) or egress (output) interface. This document tries to address the commonalities between all vendors and creates a common model, which can be augmented with proprietary models. The base model is simple in design, and we hope to achieve enough flexibility for each vendor to extend the base model. The use of feature statements in the model allows vendors to advertise match rules they are capable and willing to support. There are two sets of feature statements a device needs to advertise. The first set of feature statements specifies the capability of the device. These include features such as "Device can support matching on Ethernet headers" or "Device can support matching on IPv4 headers". The second set of feature statements specifies the combinations of headers the device is willing to support. These include features such as "Plain IPv6 ACL supported" or "Ethernet, IPv4 and IPv6 ACL combinations supported". 3.1. ACL Modules There are two YANG modules in the model. The first module, "ietf- access-control-list", defines generic ACL aspects that are common to all ACLs regardless of their type or vendor. In effect, the module can be viewed as providing a generic ACL "superclass". It imports the second module, "ietf-packet-fields". The match container in "ietf-access-control-list" uses groupings in "ietf-packet-fields" to specify match fields such as port numbers or protocols. The combination of 'if-feature' checks and 'must' statements allows for the selection of relevant match fields that a user can define rules for. If there is a need to define a new "matches" choice, such as IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) [RFC7011], the container "matches" can be augmented. Jethanandani, et al.

ACL YANG Models 4.1. IETF Access Control List Module The "ietf-access-control-list" module defines the "acls" container that has a list of each "acl". Each "acl" has information identifying the access list by a name ("name") and a list ("aces") of rules associated with the "name". Each of the entries in the list ("aces"), indexed by the string "name", has containers defining "matches" and "actions". Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 The model defines several ACL types and actions in the form of identities and features. Features are used by implementors to select the ACL types the system can support, and identities are used to validate the types that have been selected. These types are implicitly inherited by the "ace", thus safeguarding against misconfiguration of "ace" types in an "acl". The "matches" define criteria used to identify patterns in "ietf- packet-fields". The choice statements within the match container allow for the selection of one header within each of "l2", "l3", or "l4" headers. The "actions" define the behavior to undertake once a "match" has been identified. In addition to permit and deny actions, a logging option allows for a match to be logged that can later be used to determine which rule was matched upon. The model also defines the ability for ACLs to be attached to a particular interface. Statistics in the ACL can be collected for an "ace" or for an "interface". The feature statements defined for statistics can be used to determine whether statistics are being collected per "ace" or per "interface".

IETF Packet Fields Module The packet fields module defines the necessary groups for matching on fields in the packet including Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, and transport- layer fields. The "type" node determines which of these fields get included for any given ACL with the exception of TCP, UDP, and ICMP header fields. Those fields can be used in conjunction with any of the above Layer 2 or Layer 3 fields. Since the number of match criteria are very large, the base specification does not include these directly but references them by the 'uses' statement to keep the base module simple. In case more match conditions are needed, those can be added by augmenting choices within container "matches" in the ietf-access-control-list.yang data model. This module imports definitions from "Common YANG Data Types" [RFC6991] and references "Internet Protocol" [RFC791], "Internet Control Message Protocol" [RFC792], "Transmission Control Protocol" [RFC793], "Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 Headers" [RFC2474], "The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP" [RFC3168], "IPv6 Scoped Address Jethanandani, et al.

Security Considerations The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocol 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 (NACM) [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. Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 42] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 There are a number of data nodes defined in these YANG modules 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: /acls/acl/aces: This list specifies all the configured access control entries on the device. Unauthorized write access to this list can allow intruders to modify the entries so as to permit traffic that should not be permitted, or deny traffic that should be permitted. The former may result in a DoS attack, or compromise the device. The latter may result in a DoS attack. The impact of an unauthorized read access of the list will allow the attacker to determine which rules are in effect, to better craft an attack. /acls/acl/aces/ace/actions/logging: This node specifies ability to log packets that match this ace entry. Unauthorized write access to this node can allow intruders to enable logging on one or many ace entries, overwhelming the server in the process. Unauthorized read access of this node can allow intruders to access logging information, which could be used to craft an attack the server. 6.

Standards Track [Page 46] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 Appendix A. Extending ACL Model Examples A.1. Example of a Company's Proprietary Module The "example-newco-acl" module is an example of a company's proprietary model that augments the "ietf-acl" module. It shows how to use 'augment' with an XML Path Language (XPath) expression to add additional match criteria, actions, and default actions for when no ACE matches are found. All these are company proprietary extensions or system feature extensions. "example-newco-acl" is just an example, and it is expected that vendors will create their own proprietary models. module example-newco-acl { yang-version 1.1; namespace "http://example.com/ns/example-newco-acl"; prefix example-newco-acl; import ietf-access-control-list { prefix acl; } organization "Newco model group."; contact "abc@newco.com"; description "This YANG module augments the IETF ACL YANG module."; revision 2019-03-04 { description "Creating NewCo proprietary extensions to the ietf-acl model."; reference "RFC 8519: YANG Data Model for Network Access Control Lists (ACLs)."; } augment "/acl:acls/acl:acl/" + "acl:aces/acl:ace/" + "acl:matches" { description "Newco proprietary simple filter matches."; Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 47] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 choice protocol-payload-choice { description "Newco proprietary payload match condition."; list protocol-payload { key "value-keyword"; ordered-by user; description "Match protocol payload."; uses match-simple-payload-protocol-value; } } choice metadata { description "Newco proprietary interface match condition."; leaf packet-length { type uint16; description "Match on packet length."; } } } augment "/acl:acls/acl:acl/" + "acl:aces/acl:ace/" + "acl:actions" { description "Newco proprietary simple filter actions."; choice action { description "Newco proprietary action choices."; case count { description "Count the packet in the named counter."; leaf count { type uint32; description "Count."; } } case policer { description "Name of policer used to rate-limit traffic."; leaf policer { type string; description "Name of the policer."; } Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 48] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 } case hierarchical-policer { leaf hierarchical-policer { type string; description "Name of the hierarchical policer."; } description "Name of the hierarchical policer used to rate-limit traffic."; } } } augment "/acl:acls/acl:acl" + "/acl:aces/acl:ace/" + "acl:actions" { leaf default-action { type identityref { base acl:forwarding-action; } default "acl:drop"; description "Actions that occur if no ACE is matched."; } description "Newco proprietary default action."; } grouping match-simple-payload-protocol-value { description "Newco proprietary payload"; leaf value-keyword { type enumeration { enum icmp { description "Internet Control Message Protocol."; } enum icmp6 { description "Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6."; } enum range { description "Range of values."; } } Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 49] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 description "(null)."; } } } The following figure is the tree diagram of example-newco-acl. In this example, /ietf-acl:acls/ietf-acl:acl/ietf-acl:aces/ietf-acl:ace/ ietf-acl:matches are augmented with two new choices: protocol- payload-choice and metadata. The protocol-payload-choice uses a grouping with an enumeration of all supported protocol values. Metadata matches apply to fields associated with the packet, that are not in the packet header, such as overall packet length. In another example, /ietf-acl:acls/ietf-acl:acl/ietf-acl:aces/ietf-acl:ace/ ietf-acl:actions are augmented with a new choice of actions. module: example-newco-acl augment /acl:acls/acl:acl/acl:aces/acl:ace/acl:matches: +--rw (protocol-payload-choice)? | +--:(protocol-payload) | +--rw protocol-payload* [value-keyword] | +--rw value-keyword enumeration +--rw (metadata)? +--:(packet-length) +--rw packet-length? uint16 augment /acl:acls/acl:acl/acl:aces/acl:ace/acl:actions: +--rw (action)? +--:(count) | +--rw count? uint32 +--:(policer) | +--rw policer? string +--:(hierarchical-policer) +--rw hierarchical-policer? string augment /acl:acls/acl:acl/acl:aces/acl:ace/acl:actions: +--rw default-action? identityref A.2. Linux nftables As the Linux platform is becoming more popular than the networking platform, the Linux data model is changing. Previously, ACLs in Linux were highly protocol specific, and different utilities were used (iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables), so each one had a separate data model. Recently, this has changed, and a single utility, nftables, has been developed. With a single application, it has a single data model for firewall filters, and it follows very similarly the ietf-access-control list module proposed in this document. The nftables support input and output ACEs, and each ACE can be defined with match and action. Jethanandani, et al. Standards Track [Page 50] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 The example in Section 4.3 can be configured using nftable tool as below. nft add table ip filter nft add chain filter input nft add rule ip filter input ip protocol tcp ip saddr \ 192.0.2.1/24 drop The configuration entries added in nftable would be: table ip filter { chain input { ip protocol tcp ip saddr 192.0.2.1/24 drop } } We can see that there are many similarities between Linux nftables and IETF ACL YANG data models and their extension models. It should be fairly easy to do translation between the ACL YANG model described in this document and Linux nftables. A.3. Ethertypes The ACL module is dependent on the definition of Ethertypes. IEEE owns the allocation of those Ethertypes. This model is being included here to enable the definition of those types till such time that IEEE takes up the task of publication of the model that defines those Ethertypes. At that time, this model can be deprecated. <CODE BEGINS> file "ietf-ethertypes@2019-03-04.yang" module ietf-ethertypes { namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ethertypes"; prefix ethertypes; organization "IETF NETMOD (Network Modeling) Working Group."; contact "WG Web: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/netmod/> WG List: <mailto:netmod@ietf.org> Editor: Mahesh Jethanandani <mjethanandani@gmail.com>"; description "This module contains common definitions for the Jethanandani, et al.

Standards Track [Page 59] RFC 8519 YANG Data Model for ACLs March 2019 Acknowledgements Alex Clemm, Andy Bierman, and Lisa Huang started by sketching an initial draft version in several past IETF meetings. That document included an ACL YANG model structure and a rich set of match filters, and it acknowledged contributions by Louis Fourie, Dana Blair, Tula Kraiser, Patrick Gili, George Serpa, Martin Bjorklund, Kent Watsen, and Phil Shafer. Many people have reviewed the various earlier draft versions that made the document that went into IETF charter. Dean Bogdanovic, Kiran Agrahara Sreenivasa, Lisa Huang, and Dana Blair each evaluated the YANG model in earlier draft versions separately, and then they worked together to create an ACL draft version that was supported by different vendors. That document removed vendor-specific features and gave examples that allowed vendors to extend their own proprietary ACLs. That earlier draft version was superseded with this document and received participation from many vendors. The authors would like to thank Jason Sterne, Lada Lhotka, Juergen Schoenwalder, David Bannister, Jeff Haas, Kristian Larsson, and Einar Nilsen-Nygaard for their reviews of and suggestions for the document.
