[RFC8345] defines the YANG [RFC6020] [RFC7950] data models of the abstract (generic) network and network topology. Such models can be augmented with technology-specific details to build more specific topology models.¶
This document defines the YANG data model for Layer 2 (L2) network topologies by augmenting the generic network (Section 6.1 of [RFC8345]) and network topology (Section 6.2 of [RFC8345]) data models with L2-specific topology attributes. An example is provided in Appendix B.¶
There are multiple applications for such a data model. For example, within the context of Interface to the Routing System (I2RS), nodes within the network can use the data model to capture their understanding of the overall network topology and expose it to a network controller. A network controller can then use the instantiated topology data to compare and reconcile its own view of the network topology with that of the network elements that it controls. Alternatively, nodes within the network may compare and reconcile this understanding either among themselves or with the help of a controller. Beyond the network element and the immediate context of I2RS itself, a network controller might even use the data model to represent its view of the topology that it controls and expose it to external applications. Further use cases where the data model can be applied are described in [I2RS-UR].¶
This document uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991] and adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].¶
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 in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950]. The meanings of the symbols used in the tree diagram are defined in [RFC8340].¶
The Layer 2 network topology YANG module is designed to be generic and applicable to Layer 2 networks built with different Layer 2 technologies. It can be used to describe both the physical and the logical (virtual) Layer 2 network topologies.¶
The relationship between the Layer 2 topology module and the generic network and network topology module is shown in Figure 1. In order to represent a Layer 2 network topology, the generic network and topology models are augmented with L2-specific information, such as the identifiers, identities (e.g., Provider Backbone Bridging [IEEE802.1ah], QinQ [IEEE802.1ad], or Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) [RFC7348]), attributes, and states of the Layer 2 networks, nodes, links, and termination points. Some of the information may be collected via Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) [IEEE802.1AB] or other Layer 2 protocols, and some of them may be locally configured.¶

<CODE ENDS>¶
IANA has registered the following URIs in the "ns" subregistry within "The IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:¶
IANA has registered the following YANG modules in the "YANG Module Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry.¶
These modules are not maintained by IANA.¶
The YANG modules specified in this document define a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols, such as Network Configuration Protocol (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 Network Configuration 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.¶
The Layer 2 topology module defines information that can be configurable in certain instances, for example, in the case of virtual topologies that can be created by client applications. In such cases, a malicious client could introduce topologies that are undesired. Specifically, a malicious client could attempt to remove or add a node, a link, or a termination point by creating or deleting corresponding elements in the node, link, and termination point lists, respectively. In the case of a topology that is learned, the server will automatically prohibit such misconfiguration attempts. In the case of a topology that is configured, i.e., whose origin is "intended", the undesired configuration could become effective and be reflected in the operational state datastore [RFC8342], leading to disruption of services provided via this topology. For those reasons, it is important that the NACM is vigorously applied to prevent topology misconfiguration by unauthorized clients.¶
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:¶
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. In particular, the YANG module for Layer 2 topology may expose sensitive information, for example, the MAC addresses of devices or VLAN/VXLAN identifiers. Unrestricted use of such information can lead to privacy violations. For example, listing MAC addresses in a network allows monitoring of devices and their movements. Location information can be derived from MAC addresses of network devices, bypassing protection of location information by the Operating System.¶
The YANG module ietf-l2-topology defined in this document augments two modules, "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology", that are designed to be used in conjunction with implementations that support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342]. In order to allow implementations to use the model even in cases when NMDA is not supported, a set of companion modules have been defined that represent a state model of networks and network topologies, "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state", respectively.¶
In order to be able to use the model for Layer 2 topologies defined in this document in conjunction with non-NMDA-compliant implementations, a corresponding companion module is defined that represents the operational state of Layer 2 network topologies. The module "ietf-l2-topology-state" mirrors the module "ietf-l2-topology" defined in Section 4. However, it augments "ietf-network-state" and "ietf-network-topology-state" (instead of "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology") and all its data nodes are nonconfigurable.¶
The companion module "ietf-l2-topology" SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations that support NMDA. It is for this reason that this module is defined in the informative appendix.¶
As the structure of this module mirrors that of its underlying modules, the YANG tree is not depicted separately.¶

"This module defines a model for Layer 2 Network Topology
state, representing topology that either is learned or
results from applying topology that has been configured per
the 'ietf-l2-topology' model, mirroring the
corresponding data nodes in this model.
This model mirrors 'ietf-l2-topology' but contains only
read-only state data. The model is not needed when the
underlying implementation infrastructure supports the
Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA).

<CODE ENDS>¶
This section contains an example of an instance data tree in JSON encoding [RFC7951]. The example instantiates "ietf-l2-topology" for the topology that is depicted in the following diagram. There are three nodes: D1, D2, and D3. D1 has three termination points: 1-0-1, 1-2-1, and 1-3-1. D2 has three termination points as well: 2-1-1, 2-0-1, and 2-3-1. D3 has two termination points: 3-1-1 and 3-2-1. For termination point 1-0-1, it provides lag support and has two member link termination points: 1-0-1-1 and 1-0-1-2. In addition, there are six links, two between each pair of nodes with one going in each direction.¶
