The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges with Traffic Classes, Multicast Filtering and Virtual LAN Extensions ' <draft-ietf-bridge-ext-v2-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Bridge 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-bridge-ext-v2-07.txt Technical Summary This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets. In particular, it defines two MIB modules for managing the capabilities of MAC bridges defined by the IEEE 802.1D-1998 (TM) MAC Bridges and the IEEE 802.1Q-2003 (TM) Virtual LAN (VLAN) standards for bridging between Local Area Network (LAN) segments. One MIB module defines objects for managing the 'Traffic Classes' and 'Enhanced Multicast Filtering' components of IEEE 802.1D-1998 and P802.1t-2001 (TM). The other MIB module defines objects for managing VLANs, as specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2003, P802.1u (TM) and P802.1v (TM). Provisions are made for support of transparent bridging. Provisions are also made so that these objects apply to bridges connected by subnetworks other than LAN segments. This memo supplements RFC 1493bis [BRIDGE-MIB] and (to a lesser extent) RFC 1525 [RFC1525]. (NOTE 1493bis is in RFC-Ed queue as draft-ietf-bridge-bridgemib-smiv2-10.txt) Working Group Summary The Bridge MIB Working Group discussed this document and approved its content in a Working Group Last Call process. All issues raised during the WG Last Call have been resolved, maintained in the RT system, and a summary of the resolutions was published to the mailing list for comment. The WG recommends that this document be forwarded to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. It is the intention of the WG that subsequent mib module work for IEEE 802.1 technologies will be done by the IEEE 802.1 WG. There are some concerns about the quality of work likely to result from SNMP non-experts, but the IETF is providing MIB Doctor review of their mib module work during the transition. Protocol Quality The document was reviewed in detail by John Flick, and discussed by several other MIB experts. A number of IEEE 802.1 WG members, including the vice chair, were involved in discussions. The discussions and clarifications resulted in editorial changes in the document. It is our belief that the document is at the appropriate quality for consideration as proposed standard. Bert Wijnen has reviewed the document for the IESG. Note to RFC Editor Pls add the following to Section 2, at the bottom of page 3, prior to section 2.1. NEW: This memo supplements RFC 1493bis, and obsoletes RFC 2674 [RFC2674]. (NOTE for RFC Ed.: all instances of 'RFC 1493bis' will need to be updated to reflect the new RFC number for draft-ietf-bridge- bridgemib-smiv2-10.txt) _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
