Feature Information for Service Independent Intercept


Service Independent Intercept on the Cisco CMTS Routers


First Published: February 14, 2008, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, the Service Independent Intercept (SII) feature enhances the current Lawful Intercept (LI) capability for the Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Routers using SNMPv3.

In other Cisco IOS Releases prior to 12.2(33)SCA on the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) routers, LI capability includes the following support:

Intercepts for voice traffic in PacketCable environments

IP intercepts for SII using SNMPv3

Command-line interface (CLI) for MAC intercepts

SII extends this LI capability in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA by adding support for customer premise equipment (CPE)-based and cable modem (CM)-based MAC intercepts using SNMPv3. SII is designed to provide data intercepts via SNMPv3, while PacketCable intercepts are designed for voice IP intercepts using a COPS interface.

Restrictions for Service Independent Intercept

IPv6 addressing for IP intercepts is not supported.

The mediation device(MD) must be reachable via the global IP routing table. Support for a MD inside an MPLS/VPN is not supported.

You cannot display information about intercepts gathered with SII using the command-line interface (CLI). Intercept content from SII will not appear in the show pxf cable commands. Other intercept information outside of SII content (for PacketCable and via CLI intercept) is shown.

The Cisco uBR10012 router has the following MIB object restrictions:

When a Performance Routing Engine (PRE) switchover occurs, the SII configuration is lost. You must reconfigure SII after a PRE switchover.

cTapMediationDestAddressType—IPv6 is not supported

cTapMediationRtcpPort—Not supported

cTapMediationRetransmitType—Not supported

cTapMediationTransport—UDP only

cTapStreamIpInterface—Only if interface supported is cable

cTapStreamIpAddrType—IPv6 is not supported

cTapStreamIpDestinationLength—Must be 32 (no subnets are supported)

cTapStreamIpFlowId—Not supported (for IPv6 only)

cTapStreamIpDestL4PortMin—Must match DestL4PortMax or have a value of 0

cTapStreamIpDestL4PortMax—Must match DestL4PortMin or have a value of 65535

cTapStreamIpSourceL4PortMin—Must match SourceL4PortMin or have a value of 0

cTapStreamIpSourceL4PortMax—Must match SourceL4PortMax or have a value of 65535

Information About Service Independent Intercept

SII has the following benefits:

Does not affect subscriber services on the router.

Cannot be detected by the target.

Allows LEAs to perform lawful intercepts without the knowledge of service providers.

Uses Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) and security features like the View-based Access Control Model (SNMP-VACM-MIB) and User-based Security Model (SNMP-USM-MIB) to restrict access to lawful intercept information and components.

Supports intercepts of Layer 3 and Layer 2 traffic.

Supports Layer 2 intercepts for upstream and downstream traffic.

Hides information about lawful intercepts from all but the most privileged users. An administrator must set up access rights to enable privileged users to access lawful intercept information.

Provides two secure interfaces for performing an intercept: one for setting up the wiretap and one for sending the intercepted traffic to the mediation device (MD).

Coexists with Packet Intercept (PI). To support Packet Intercept (PI) in a PacketCable environment for voice intercepts, you must enable PacketCable operation on the CMTS and perform any other related PacketCable configurations as required. For more information about PacketCable, see the "Related Documents" section.

Before you configure SII on the Cisco CMTS, you should understand the following concepts:

Lawful Intercept

Packet Intercept

Service Independent Intercept

Network Components Used for Lawful Intercept

Lawful Intercept Processing

SNMPv3 Interface

Lawful Intercept

Lawful intercept is a process that enables a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) to perform electronic surveillance on an individual (a target) as authorized by a judicial or administrative order. To facilitate the lawful intercept process, certain legislation and regulations require service providers (SPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) to implement their networks to explicitly support authorized electronic surveillance.

The surveillance is performed through the use of wiretaps on traditional telecommunications and Internet services in voice, data, and multiservice networks. The LEA delivers a request for a wiretap to the target's service provider, who is responsible for intercepting data communication to and from the individual. The service provider uses the target's IP address or session ID to determine which of its edge routers handles the target's traffic (data communication). The service provider then intercepts the target's traffic as it passes through the router, and sends a copy of the intercepted traffic to the LEA without the target's knowledge.

The Lawful Intercept feature supports the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which describes how service providers in the United States must support lawful intercept. Currently, lawful intercept is defined by the following standards:

Telephone Industry Association (TIA) specification J-STD-025

Packet Cable Electronic Surveillance Specification (PKT-SP-ESP-101-991229)

Packet Intercept

Packet Intercept (PI) describes a CMTS-specific implementation for lawful intercept on CMTS routers. PI is supported via two interfaces. In a PacketCable environment, PI provides voice intercept capability for IP intercepts using the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) to support CALEA. Using a CLI interface (cable intercept command), PI also supports MAC intercepts.

For more information about PacketCable Lawful Intercept, PacketCable configuration on the CMTS, and COPS support on the CMTS, see the "Related Documents" section.

Service Independent Intercept

SII describes a standard Cisco architecture that provides LI capabilities using an SNMPv3 interface.

SII supports a different intercept method than PI on the Cisco CMTS router by using SNMPv3 for both MAC and IP intercepts. Although SII is a distinct method from PI, SII can coexist with PI-based intercepts in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA.

Network Components Used for Lawful Intercept

The following network components are used for lawful intercepts:

Mediation Device

Intercept Access Point

Collection Function

Mediation Device

A mediation device (supplied by third-party vendor) handles most of the processing for the lawful intercept. The mediation device:

Provides the interface used to set up and provision the lawful intercept.

Generates requests to other network devices to set up and run the lawful intercept.

Converts the intercepted traffic into the format required by the LEA (which can vary from country to country) and sends a copy of the intercepted traffic to the LEA without the target's knowledge.


Note If multiple LEAs are performing intercepts on the same target, the mediation device must make a copy of the intercepted traffic for each LEA. The mediation device is also responsible for restarting any lawful intercepts that are disrupted due to a failure.


Intercept Access Point

An intercept access point (IAP) is a device that provides information for the lawful intercept. There are two types of IAPs:

Identification (ID) IAP—A device, such as an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server, that provides intercept related information (IRI) for the intercept (for example, the target's username and system IP address). The IRI helps the service provider determine which content IAP (router) the target's traffic passes through.

Content IAP—A device, such as a Cisco CMTS router, that the target's traffic passes through. The content IAP:

Intercepts traffic to and from the target for the length of time specified in the court order. The router continues to forward traffic to its destination to ensure that the wiretap is undetected.

Creates a copy of the intercepted traffic, encapsulates it in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets, and forwards the packets to the mediation device without the target's knowledge.


Note The content IAP sends a single copy of intercepted traffic to the mediation device. If multiple LEAs are performing intercepts on the same target, the mediation device must make a copy of the intercepted traffic for each LEA.


Collection Function

The collection function is a program that stores and processes traffic intercepted by the service provider. The program runs on equipment at the LEA.

Lawful Intercept Processing

After acquiring a court order or warrant to perform surveillance, the LEA delivers a surveillance request to the target's service provider. The service provider determines the appropriate router to set up the tap and forwards the intercepted packets to the mediation device, which might be located outside of the service provider's premises.

In a PacketCable environment, there is not currently any standard method for setting up a tap for voice traffic. SII provides a standard way for setting up data taps by either an IP or MAC address. SII includes two ways of setting a MAC-based tap:

On CPE—Only intercepts traffic whose source or destination match the MAC address of the CPE device.

On CM—Intercepts all of the traffic behind the CM, including the CM traffic itself. This form of intercept might generate a lot of traffic to the mediation device.

Tthe following sequence of events provides an example of a process that might be used during a sample lawful intercept:

1. The admin function at the service provider contacts the ID IAP for intercept related information (IRI), such as the target's user name and the IP address of their system, to determine which content IAP (router) the target's traffic passes through.

2. After identifying the router that handles the target's traffic, the admin function issues SNMPv3 get and set requests to the router's MIBs to set up and activate the lawful intercept. The router's MIBs include the CISCO-TAP2-MIB, CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB, and CISCO-802-TAP-MIB.

3. During the lawful intercept, the router:

a. Examines incoming and outgoing traffic and intercepts any traffic that matches the specifications of the lawful intercept request.

b. Creates a copy of the intercepted traffic and forwards the original traffic to its destination so the target does not suspect anything.

c. Encapsulates the intercepted traffic in UDP packets and forwards the packets to the mediation device without the target's knowledge.


Note The process of intercepting and duplicating the target's traffic adds no detectable latency in the traffic stream.


d. The mediation device converts the intercepted traffic into the required format and sends it to a collection function running at the LEA. Here, the intercepted traffic is stored and processed.


Note If the router intercepts traffic that is not allowed by the judicial order, the mediation device filters out the excess traffic and sends the LEA only the traffic allowed by the judicial order.


4. When the lawful intercept expires, the router stops intercepting the target's traffic.

SNMPv3 Interface

SII in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA supports the following MIBs in SNMPv3:

CISCO-TAP2-MIB

CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB

CISCO-802-TAP-MIB

For a link to the Cisco IOS MIB tools, see the "MIBs" section.

CISCO-TAP2-MIB

The CISCO-TAP2-MIB contains SNMP management objects that control lawful intercepts on the router. The mediation device uses the MIB to configure and run lawful intercepts on targets whose traffic passes through the router. The MIB is bundled with Cisco IOS software images that support the Service Independent Intercept feature.

The CISCO-TAP2-MIB works with the CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB and the CISCO-802-TAP-MIB to define specific intercepts.

Table 2 lists the tables and objects in the CISCO-TAP2-MIB. For more information, refer to the MIB documentation.

How to Perform SNMPv3 Provisioning for Service Independent Intercept

This section includes the following procedures:

Prerequisites

Restrictions

Accessing the Lawful Intercept MIBs

Restricting Access to the Lawful Intercept MIBs

Verifying the SNMP Configuration

Provisioning the Cable Interface Using SNMPv3

Provisioning IP Intercepts Using SNMPv3

Provisioning MAC Intercepts Using SNMPv3

Enabling SNMP Notifications for Lawful Intercept

Disabling SNMP Notifications

Prerequisites

To perform SNMPv3 provisioning for SII, the following prerequisites must be met:

You must be logged in to the router with the highest access level (level-15). To log in with level-15 access, enter the enable command and specify the highest-level password defined for the router.

The mediation device must have an access function (AF) and an access function provisioning interface (AFPI).

You must add the mediation device to the SNMP user group that has access to the CISCO-TAP2-MIB view using the snmp-server user command. Specify the username of the mediation device as the user to add to the group.

When you add the mediation device as a CISCO-TAP2-MIB user, you can include the mediation device's authorization password if you want. The password must be at least eight characters in length.

Restrictions

Consider the following restrictions as you perform SNMPv3 provisioning for SII:

The only users who should be allowed to access the Lawful Intercept MIBs are the mediation device and system administrators who need to know about lawful intercepts on the router. In addition, these users must have authPriv or authNoPriv access rights to access the SII MIBs. Users with NoAuthNoPriv access cannot access the Lawful Intercept MIBs.

You cannot use the SNMP-VACM-MIB to create a view that includes the Lawful Intercept MIBs.

The default SNMP view excludes the following MIBs:

CISCO-TAP2-MIB

CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB

SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB

SNMP-USM-MIB

SNMP-VACM-MIB

The CMTS router does not display log messages about SII taps; therefore, you can only see configuration errors by using SNMP traps.

The CMTS router does not display any details about SII taps in show pxf cable commands. A line in the output of the show pxf cable command displays the number of SII taps, but not their content.

The CMTS router does not support IPv6 addressing for IP taps.

Accessing the Lawful Intercept MIBs

Due to its sensitive nature, the Cisco lawful intercept MIBs supported by SII are only available in software images that support the SII and Lawful Intercept features. These MIBs are not accessible through the Network Management Software MIBs Support page (http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.)

The Cisco CMTS routers support LI and SII MIBs using the following images:

Cisco uBR7246VXR router—ubr7200-k9pu2-mz

Cisco uBR10012 router—ubr10k2-k9p6u2-mz

Restricting Access to the Lawful Intercept MIBs

Only the mediation device and users who need to know about lawful intercepts should be allowed to access the Lawful Intercept MIBs. To restrict access to these MIBs, you must complete the following tasks:

Create a view that includes the Cisco Lawful Intercept MIBs.

Create an SNMP user group that has read and write access to the view. Only users assigned to this user group can access information in the MIBs.

Add users to the Cisco Lawful Intercept user groups to define who can access the MIBs and any information related to lawful intercepts. Be sure to add the mediation device as a user in this group; otherwise, the router cannot perform lawful intercepts.

Provisioning the Cable Interface Using SNMPv3

When you provision the cable interface using SNMPv3, complete the following requirements:

The mediation device must be established first.

To provision the cable interface for which intercepts should be enabled, you need to configure objects in both the CISCO-802-TAP-MIB and the CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB:

CISCO-802-TAP-MIB—Configure the c802tapStreamInterface object.

CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB—Configure the citapStreamInterface object.

The c802tapStreamInterface and citapStreamInterface objects specify the ifIndex of the desired interface. Use a -1, 0, or the address of the cable bundle interface.

Provisioning IP Intercepts Using SNMPv3

Restrictions

To provision an IP intercept using SNMPv3, perform the following tasks in SNMPv3:

1. Configure objects in the CISCO-TAP2-MIB:

Configure the cTap2StreamEntry table object with the cTap2StreamType object configured for IP. This entry is used with the citapStreamEntry table object in the CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB.

2. Configure objects in the CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB:

Configure the ciTapStreamEntry table object that provides the details of the intercept in the CISCO-IP-TAP-MIB. This entry is used with the cTap2StreamEntry table object in the CISCO-TAP2-MIB.

3. Set the cTap2StreamInterceptEnable bit.

Provisioning MAC Intercepts Using SNMPv3

SII in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA on the CMTS routers allows you to provision bi-directional MAC intercepts (supports the upstream and downstream path) for a cable modem (CM) or customer premise equipment (CPE) using SNMPv3.

The cmMacAddress object is used to specify the MAC adddress of either the CPE device or CM, and therefore is the object that determines the type of MAC intercept used.

Prerequisites

When you are provisioning a CM MAC intercept, the CM must be online before the MAC intercept can be configured using SNMPv3.

Set the CM bit only if you want to configure a CM-based tap.

The destination (dstMACAddress) and source MAC address (srcMacAddress) bits must both be set.

The values of the destination (c802tapStreamDestinationAddress) and source address (c802tapStreamSourceAddress) objects must have identical values.


Note If both destination and source MAC bits are not set, or the MAC address values do not match, the tap is rejected.


Restrictions

SII interface taps are only supported on cable line card bundle interfaces.

Provisioning a MAC Intercept for Cable Modems Using SNMPv3

To provision a MAC intercept for CMs using SNMPv3, perform the following tasks in SNMPv3:

1. Configure the c802tapStreamInterface object.

2. Set the following bit flags in the c802tapStreamFields object:

dstMacAddress (bit 1)

srcMacAddress (bit 2)

cmMacAddress (bit 6)—The cmMacAddress bit field is newly introduced for cable modem support and determines whether the intercept is a CPE-based or CM-based intercept

3. Configure the following objects with the same CM MAC address value:

c802tapStreamDestinationAddress

c802tapStreamSourceAddress

Provisioning a MAC Intercept for a CPE Device Using SNMPv3

To provision a MAC intercept for a CPE device using SNMPv3, perform the following tasks in SNMPv3:

1. Configure the c802tapStreamInterface object.

2. Set the following bit flags in the c802tapStreamFields object:

dstMacAddress (bit 1)

srcMacAddress (bit 2)

3. Configure the following objects with the same CPE MAC address value:

c802tapStreamDestinationAddress

c802tapStreamSourceAddress

Enabling SNMP Notifications for Lawful Intercept

SNMP automatically generates notifications for lawful intercept events (see Table 3). This is because the default value of the cTap2MediationNotificationEnable object is true(1).

The snmp-server enable traps snmp command enables configures the router to send RFC 1157 notifications to the mediation device.

Prerequisites

SNMP notifications for lawful intercept must be sent to UDP port 161 on the mediation device, not port 162 (which is the SNMP default).

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. snmp-server host {hostname | ip-address} [vrf vrf-name] [traps | informs] [version 3 [auth | noauth | priv]}] community-string [udp-port port] [notification-type]

4. snmp-server enable traps snmp [authentication] [linkup] [linkdown] [coldstart] [warmstart]

5. snmp-server enable traps [notification-type] [vrrp]

snmp-server enable traps [notification-type] [vrrp]

Example:

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps tty

Enables all SNMP notification types that are available on your system.

Disabling SNMP Notifications

You can disable SNMP notifications on the router as follows:

To disable all SNMP notifications, use the no snmp-server enable traps command.

To disable lawful intercept notifications, use SNMPv3 to set the CISCO-TAP2-MIB object cTap2MediationNotificationEnable to false(2). To re-enable lawful intercept notifications through SNMPv3, reset the object to true(1).
