- Description of Working Group:
- The purpose of this Working Group is the investigation of network
- configuration and reconfiguration management. We will determine those
- configuration functions that can be automated, such as Internet
- address assignment, gateway discovery and resource location, and those
- which cannot be automated (i.e., those that must be managed by network
- administrators).
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Write a bootp extensions document.
-
- Done We will identify (in the spirit of the Gateway Requirements and Host
- Requirements RFCs) the information required for hosts and gateways
- to: Exchange Internet packets with other hosts, Obtain packet routing
- information, Access the Domain Name System, and Access other local
- and remote services.
-
- Done We will summarize those mechanisms already in place for managing the
- information identified by Objective 1.
-
- Done We will suggest new mechanisms to manage the information identified
- by Objective 1.
-
- Done Having established what information and mechanisms are required for
- host operation, we will examine specific scenarios of dynamic host
- configuration and reconfiguration, and show how those scenarios can
- be resolved using existing or proposed management mechanisms.
