CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Oscar Newkerk/DEC
MSI Minutes
The Management Services Interface Working Group met to discuss the
latest revision of the draft API document. The following actions were
taken.
o The section on authentication information (Section B.4) was
modified to indicate that the authentication information should be
passed as an AVL instead of the previously indicated C structure.
o The rough outline of an interoperability statement. This statement
will document the requirement that implementations of MSI behave
the same regardless of the underlying protocol.
o The Interoperability statement effort produced an issue that must
be addressed in order for an implementation of the MSI API to
function. In order for an implementation of MSI to behave the same
regardless of the protocol, the MIB for new classes must be defined
in both SNMP terms and OIM terms. This requires that objects and
events be documented in the current template format as well as the
ISO GDMO format. Without this information, it is impossible for an
MSI implementation to `translate' a management request into both an
SNMP PDU and a CMOT PDU. There was no resolution of this issue, but
it was agreed that it should also be raised in the OIM Working
Group meeting the next day and raised to the Network Management
Area Chair.
Comments on the API draft from the UBC meeting will be incorporated in
the next revision of the draft.
