CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by James Davin/MIT SNMP Minutes The SNMP Working Group of the IETF met on Monday morning, March 11, 1991. J. Davin acted as Chair in lieu of Marshall Rose, who was unable to attend. The Working Group considered two documents: o The MIB for Ethernet-like Interfaces and o The SMDS Interface Protocol MIB A brief presentation of the Ethernet MIB was made by J. Davin to refamiliarize Working Group members with the current status of this longstanding effort. There followed a section-by-section discussion of the document. The Working Group decided on several minor changes: o Two typographical errors in enumerated type definitions were corrected. o Text was added to the document to guide users of the MIB in how to interpret error counts when an agent may be unable to accurately report all instances of certain error conditions. o The set of names of Ethernet-like chipsets (for use with the Interface Extensions MIB) was enlarged. With these changes, the Working Group recommended that the document be considered by the IESG for Proposed Standard status. In the second half of the meeting, Kaj Tesink introduced the group to the SMDS Interface Protocol MIB by giving an overview presentation on the SIP itself and the structure of the proposed MIB. A discussion of the document followed. Some concerns were raised about the relationship of this MIB to the interfaces group of MIB II, about the policy 1 questions involved in the choice of objects, about syntactic and naming conventions used in the MIB, and about the clarity of some of the counter definitions. At the end of the discussion, the Working Group decided to consider this MIB further in subsequent meetings. 2 Attendees William Anderson wda@mitre.org Karl Auerbach karl@eng.sun.com Ballard Bare bare@hprnd.rose.hp.com William Barns barns@gateway.mitre.org Steve Bostock steveb@novell.com Andreas Bovopoulos andreas@patti.wustl.edu Richard Bowles bowles@stsci.edu David Bridgham dab@asylum.sf.ca.us Theodore Brunner tob@thumper.bellcore.com Christopher Bucci bucci@pluto.dss.com Charles Carvalho charles@sage.acc.com Jeffrey Case case@cs.utk.edu Don Coolidge coolidge@speaker.wpd.sgi.com Tracy Cox tacox@sabre.bellcore.com James Davin jrd@ptt.lcs.mit.edu Kurt Dobbins dobbins@ctron.com Nadya El-Afandi nadya@network.com Gary Ellis garye@hpspd.spd.hp.com Mike Erlinger mike@mti.com Bill Fardy fardy@ctron.com Charles Fineberg fineberg@wums2.wustl.edu Karen Frisa karen.frisa@andrew.cmu.edu Shawn Gallagher gallagher@quiver.enet.dec.com James Galvin galvin@tis.com Joseph Golio golio@cray.com Keith Hacke hacke@informatics.wustl.edu Patrick Heisinger heisinger@mdcguy.mdc.com Mike Janson mjanson@mot.com Frank Kastenholz kasten@asherah.clearpoint.com Kenneth Key key@cs.utk.gdy Cheryl Krupczak clefor@secola.columbia.ncr.com Nik Langrind nik@shiva.com John LoVerso loverso@westford.ccur.com Ron Mackey Keith McCloghrie kzm@hls.com - his preferred address Donna McMaster dmcmaster@synoptics.com Carol Melowitz melowitz@mdcgwy.mdc.com Jay Melvin infopath@well.sf.ca.us Linda Melvin infopath@well.sf.ca.us Donald Merritt don@brl.mil Lynn Monsanto monsanto@eng.sun.com Bill Norton wbn@merit.edu Robert Peglar robp@anubis.network.com David Perkins dave_perkins@3com.com Ron Poppen-Chambers rpc@hpcnd.cnd.hp.com Jonathan Saperia saperia@decwrl.enet.dec.com Mark Schaefer schaefer@davidsys.com Dror Shindelman pbrenner@sparta.spartacus.com Anil Singhal Evan Solley solley@applelink.apple.com Bob Stewart rlstewart@eng.xyplex.com 3 Kaj Tesink kaj@nvuxr.cc.bellcore.com Dean Throop throop@dg-rtp.dg.com Maurice Turcotte dnmrt@rm1.uucp Sudhanshu Verma verma@hpindbu.cup.hp.com Steven Waldbusser steven.waldbusser@andrew.cmu.edu Steve Witten Wing Fai Wong wfwong@malta.sbi.com Mark Wood Wengyik Yeong yeongw@psi.com Jeff Young jsy@cray.com Osmund deSouza desouza@osdpc.ho.att.com 4
