CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Michael Erlinger/Micro Technology
RLANMIB Minutes
This was the first meeting of this Working Group. The activities
centered on getting to know one another and brainstorming on the concept
of remote LAN monitoring and associated problems. The following lists
some of the major discussion topics:
o The features of two monitoring boxes, HP LAN Probe and Novell
LANtern, were presented by members of the audience as
representative of the marketplace.
o The concepts of LAN monitoring and packet capture with packet
analysis (e.g., SNIFFER) were discussed. Packet capture and
analysis by remote LAN probes seemed to stretch the data transfer
capabilities of SNMP.
o The concept of filtering was discussed in great detail. In
particular, the approaches to filtering by various manufacturers
and the different approaches to combining filters and traps.
o Relationships to other IETF Working Groups were discussed and the
need for close interaction was noted by all.
o Finally, there was much discussion about remote LAN monitoring and
SNMP. In particular: do smart agents violate the spirit of SNMP?
How does a large amount of agent-captured data move to an NMS? and
how can various probes and NMSs be synchronized within a particular
LAN?
There was no attempt to reach any consensus on these issues, but the
group did come up with the following action items:
1. The list of attendees would be sent to rlanmib-request for addition
to the mailing list. Done.
2. The group would like to change its name to the Remote LAN
Management Working Group and make appropriate charter changes.
Mike Erlinger took on this assignment.
3. Steve Waldbusser will attempt to generate a review document on the
various network probes. He will try to discern the common features
of these devices.
4. Mike Erlinger will attempt to generate a review document on the
concept of filters as they apply to remote probes/agents.
