The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Entity State MIB ' <draft-ietf-entmib-state-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Entity MIB Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and David Kessens. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-entmib-state-07.txt Technical Summary This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes extensions to the Entity MIB to provide information about the state of physical entities. Working Group Summary This document is a work item of the Entity MIB WG. This document was carefully reviewed by the members of the Entity MIB WG and the group has consensus to publish this document. Protocol Quality Bert Wijnen reviewed this document for the IESG. Also, Juergen Shoenwaelder carefully reviewed several versions of this document and made comments that improved the document. Notes to RFC Editor - Please add one paragraph to the abstract: In addition this memo defines a set of Textual Conventions to represent various states of an entity. The intent is that these textual conventions will be imported and used in MIB modules that would otherwise define their own representations. - Pls change sect 6, first para into 2 paragraphs: OLD: There is one management object - entStateAdmin - defined in this MIB that has a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. The object may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. NEW: The ENTITY-STATE-TC-MIB defined in section 4 does not define any management objects. Instead, it defines a set of textual conventions which may be used by other MIB modules to define management objects. Meaningful security considerations can only be written in the MIB modules that define management objects. The ENTITY-STATE-TC-MIB has therefore no impact on the security of the Internet. The ENTITY-STATE-MIB defined in section 5 defines on management object - entStateAdmin - that has a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. The object may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. - Section 11.1 pls correct section title OLD: 11.1 Normative NEW: 11.1 Normative References - update IANA Considerations Section. As per the "Note to IANA", pls ensure that both OID assignments for the 2 MIB modules get documented. Note to IANA Pls make sure to record the assignment of an OID to both MIB modules in the IANA Considerations Section. Current text suggests that there is only one MIB modules, but as you have noticed (according to your IETF Last Call review comments) there are actually 2 MIB modules in this document. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
