Full YANG Tree Acknowledgments Authors' Addresses 1. Introduction This document defines a YANG data model [RFC7950] for implementations of the Network Time Protocol version 4 [RFC5905]. Note that the model could also be used to configure NTPv3 [RFC1305] (see Section 7). The data model covers configuration of system parameters of NTP such as access rules, authentication and VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) binding, and various modes of NTP and per-interface parameters. It also provides access to information about running state of NTP implementations. 1.1. Operational State NTP operational state is included in the same tree as NTP configuration, consistent with "Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)" [RFC8342]. NTP current state and statistics are also maintained in the operational state. The operational state also includes the NTP association state. 1.2. Terminology The terminology used in this document is aligned with [RFC5905] and [RFC1305]. 1.3. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. This document uses the graphical representation of data models defined in [RFC8340]. 1.4. Prefixes in Data Node Names In this document, names of data nodes and other data model objects are often used without a prefix, as long as it is clear from the context in which YANG module each name is defined. Otherwise, names are prefixed using the standard prefix associated with the corresponding YANG module, as shown in Table 1. +==========+==========================+===========+ | Prefix | YANG Module | Reference | +==========+==========================+===========+ | yang | ietf-yang-types | [RFC6991] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | inet | ietf-inet-types | [RFC6991] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | if | ietf-interfaces | [RFC8343] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | sys | ietf-system | [RFC7317] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | acl | ietf-access-control-list | [RFC8519] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | rt-types | ietf-routing-types | [RFC8294] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ | nacm | ietf-netconf-acm | [RFC8341] | +----------+--------------------------+-----------+ Table 1: Prefixes and Corresponding YANG Modules 1.5.

NTP Data Model This document defines the YANG module "ietf-ntp", which has the following condensed structure: module: ietf-ntp +--rw ntp! +--rw port? inet:port-number {ntp-port}? +--rw refclock-master! | +--rw master-stratum? ntp-stratum +--rw authentication {authentication}? | +--rw auth-enabled? boolean | +--rw authentication-keys* [key-id] | +--rw key-id uint32 | +--... +--rw access-rules {access-rules}? | +--rw access-rule* [access-mode] | +--rw access-mode identityref | +--rw acl? -> /acl:acls/acl/name +--ro clock-state | +--ro system-status | +--ro clock-state identityref | +--ro clock-stratum ntp-stratum | +--ro clock-refid refid | +--... +--rw unicast-configuration* [address type] | {unicast-configuration}? | +--rw address inet:ip-address | +--rw type identityref | +--... +--rw associations | +--ro association* [address local-mode isconfigured] | +--ro address inet:ip-address | +--ro local-mode identityref | +--ro isconfigured boolean | +--... | +--ro ntp-statistics | +--... +--rw interfaces | +--rw interface* [name] | +--rw name if:interface-ref | +--rw broadcast-server! {broadcast-server}? | | +--... | +--rw broadcast-client! {broadcast-client}? | +--rw multicast-server* [address] {multicast-server}? | | +--rw address | | | rt-types:ip-multicast-group-address | | +--... | +--rw multicast-client* [address] {multicast-client}? | | +--rw address rt-types:ip-multicast-group-address | +--rw manycast-server* [address] {manycast-server}? | | +--rw address rt-types:ip-multicast-group-address | +--rw manycast-client* [address] {manycast-client}? | +--rw address | | rt-types:ip-multicast-group-address | +--... +--ro ntp-statistics +--... rpcs: +---x statistics-reset +---w input +---w (association-or-all)? +--:(association) | +---w associations-address? | | -> /ntp/associations/association/address | +---w associations-local-mode? | | -> /ntp/associations/association/local-mode | +---w associations-isconfigured? | -> /ntp/associations/association/isconfigured +--:(all) The full data model tree for the YANG module "ietf-ntp" is in Appendix A. This data model defines one top-level container that includes both the NTP configuration and the NTP running state including access rules, authentication, associations, unicast configurations, interfaces, system status, and associations. 3. Relationship with NTPv4-MIB If the device implements the NTPv4-MIB [RFC5907], data nodes from the YANG module can be mapped to table entries in the NTPv4-MIB. The following tables list the YANG data nodes with corresponding objects in the NTPv4-MIB. +===========================+=================================+ | YANG Data Nodes in /ntp/ | NTPv4-MIB Objects | | clock-state/system-status | | +===========================+=================================+ | clock-state | ntpEntStatusCurrentMode | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | clock-stratum | ntpEntStatusStratum | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | clock-refid | ntpEntStatusActiveRefSourceId | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | | ntpEntStatusActiveRefSourceName | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | clock-precision | ntpEntTimePrecision | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | clock-offset | ntpEntStatusActiveOffset | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | root-dispersion | ntpEntStatusDispersion | +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ Table 3: YANG NTP Data Nodes in /ntp/clock-state/system- status and Related NTPv4-MIB Objects +=======================================+===========================+ | YANG Data Nodes in | NTPv4-MIB Objects | | /ntp/associations/ | | +=======================================+===========================+ | address | ntpAssocAddressType | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | | ntpAssocAddress | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | stratum | ntpAssocStratum | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | refid | ntpAssocRefId | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | offset | ntpAssocOffset | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | delay | ntpAssocStatusDelay | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | dispersion | ntpAssocStatusDispersion | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | ntp-statistics/ | ntpAssocStatOutPkts | | packet-sent | | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | ntp-statistics/ | ntpAssocStatInPkts | | packet-received | | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | ntp-statistics/ | ntpAssocStatProtocolError | | packet-dropped | | +---------------------------------------+---------------------------+ Table 4: YANG NTP Data Nodes in /ntp/associations/ and Related NTPv4-MIB Objects 4. Relationship with RFC 7317 This section describes the relationship with definition of NTP in Section 3.2 (System Time Management) of [RFC7317]. YANG data nodes in /ntp/ also support per-interface configuration, which is not supported in /system/ntp. If the YANG data model defined in this document is implemented, then /system/ntp SHOULD NOT be used and MUST be ignored. +===============================+================================+ | YANG Data Nodes in /ntp/ | YANG Data Nodes in /system/ntp | +===============================+================================+ | ntp! | enabled | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration | server | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | | server/name | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration/address | server/transport/udp/address | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration/port | server/transport/udp/port | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration/type | server/association-type | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration/iburst | server/iburst | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | unicast-configuration/prefer | server/prefer | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------+ Table 5: YANG NTP Configuration Data Nodes and Counterparts from RFC 7317 5. Access Rules The access rules in this section refers to the on-the-wire access control to the NTP service and completely independent of any management API access control, e.g., NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]. An Access Control List (ACL) is one of the basic elements used to configure device-forwarding behavior. An ACL is a user-ordered set of rules that is used to filter traffic on a networking device. As per [RFC1305] (for NTPv3) and [RFC5905] (for NTPv4), NTP could include an access-control feature that prevents unauthorized access and that controls which peers are allowed to update the local clock. Further, it is useful to differentiate between the various kinds of access and attach a different acl-rule to each. For this, the YANG module allows such configuration via /ntp/access-rules. The access- rule itself is configured via [RFC8519]. The following access modes are supported: Peer: Permit others to synchronize their time with the NTP entity or it can synchronize its time with others. NTP control queries are also accepted. Server: Permit others to synchronize their time with the NTP entity, but vice versa is not supported. NTP control queries are accepted. Server-only: Permit others to synchronize their time with the NTP entity, but vice versa is not supported. NTP control queries are not accepted. Query-only: Only control queries are accepted. Query-only is the most restricted whereas the peer is the full access authority. The ability to give different ACL rules for different access modes allows for a greater control by the operator. 6. Key Management As per [RFC1305] (for NTPv3) and [RFC5905] (for NTPv4), when authentication is enabled, NTP employs a crypto-checksum, computed by the sender and checked by the receiver, together with a set of predistributed algorithms, and cryptographic keys indexed by a key identifier included in the NTP message. This key-id is a 32-bit unsigned integer that MUST be configured on the NTP peers before the authentication can be used. For this reason, this YANG module allows such configuration via /ntp/authentication/authentication-keys/. Further at the time of configuration of NTP association (for example, unicast-server), the key-id is specified. The 'nacm:default-deny-all' is used to prevent retrieval of the actual key information after it is set. 7. NTP Version This YANG data model allows a version to be configured for the NTP association, i.e., an operator can control the use of NTPv3 [RFC1305] or NTPv4 [RFC5905] for each association it forms. This allows backward compatibility with a legacy system. Note that NTPv3 [RFC1305] is obsoleted by NTPv4 [RFC5905]. 8.

IETF XML Registry This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration has been made. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ntp Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace. 10.2. YANG Module Names This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]. Name: ietf-ntp Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ntp Prefix: ntp Reference: RFC 9249 11. 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 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 'nacm:default-deny- all' is used to prevent retrieval of the key information. 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: /ntp/port: This data node specifies the port number to be used to send NTP packets. Unexpected changes could lead to disruption and/or network misbehavior. /ntp/authentication and /ntp/access-rules: The entries in the list include the authentication and access control configurations. Care should be taken while setting these parameters. /ntp/unicast-configuration: The entries in the list include all unicast configurations (server or peer mode) and indirectly creates or modifies the NTP associations. Unexpected changes could lead to disruption and/or network misbehavior. /ntp/interfaces/interface: The entries in the list include all per- interface configurations related to broadcast, multicast, and manycast mode, and indirectly creates or modifies the NTP associations. Unexpected changes could lead to disruption and/or network misbehavior. It could also lead to synchronization over an untrusted source over trusted ones. 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: /ntp/authentication/authentication-keys: The entries in the list include all the NTP authentication keys. Unauthorized access to the keys can be easily exploited to permit unauthorized access to the NTP service. This information is sensitive; thus, unauthorized access to this needs to be curtailed. /ntp/associations/association/: The entries in the list include all active NTP associations of all modes. Exposure of these nodes could reveal network topology or trust relationships. Unauthorized access to this also needs to be curtailed. /ntp/authentication and /ntp/access-rules: The entries in the list include the authentication and access control configurations. Exposure of these nodes could reveal network topology or trust relationships. Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability: statistics-reset: The RPC is used to reset statistics. Unauthorized reset could impact monitoring. The leaf /ntp/authentication/authentication-keys/algorithm can be set to cryptographic algorithms that are no longer considered to be secure. As per [RFC8573], AES-CMAC is the recommended algorithm. 12. References 12.1.
