The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) over IEEE 802 Networks ' <draft-schoenw-snmp-ether-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Dan Romascanu. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-schoenw-snmp-ether-02.txt Technical Summary This document specifies how Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)messages can be transmitted directly over IEEE 802 networks. The document obsoletes RFC 1089 and supplements the standard SNMP transport mappings defined in RFC 3417. Working Group Summary The document is an individual submission, initiated as result of work being done in IEEE 802.1 that would possibly lead to using SNMP transport over IEEE 802 networks like Ethernet. Protocol Quality The document went through IETF Last Call and through expert review from the MIB Doctors team. It was reviewed by Vidya Narayanan on behalf of the security directorate, by David Black on behalf of Gen-Art and by Dan Romascanu for the IESG. Note to RFC Editor Please make the following modifications: 1. Section 3.2, second paragraph: OLD: When serialized SNMP messages are sent in IEEE 802.3 frames (and in other IEEE 802 MAC frame types that can natively represent Ethernet type values), an Ethernet type field value of 33100 (hexadecimal 814C) is used as the link layer protocol identifier. In IEEE 802 LANs that use LLC as the means of link layer protocol identification, such as IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs, the SNAP encapsulation method described in subclause 10.5 "Encapsulation of Ethernet frames over LLC" in [IEEE802] is used. NEW: When serialized SNMP messages are sent in IEEE 802.3 frames (and in other IEEE 802 MAC frame types that can natively represent Ethernet type values), the Ethernet type field value of 33100 (hexadecimal 814C) MUST be used as the link layer protocol identifier. In IEEE 802 LANs that use LLC as the means of link layer protocol identification, such as IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs, the SNAP encapsulation method described in subclause 10.5 "Encapsulation of Ethernet frames over LLC" in [IEEE802] MUST be used. 2. Add Informative References for RFC3414 and RFC3415 3. In Section 3: OLD: This is an optional transport mapping. NEW: 'This is an optional transport mapping. The need to carry SNMP directly over a 802 LAN transport in order to allow for the management of simple devices was identified in applications like the Two-Port Media Access Control (MAC) Relay, being developed in IEEE 802.1 as project P802.1aj [802.1aj].' 4. Add the following Informative Reference: [802.1aj]- P802.1aj/D1.4 Draft Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks - Amendment 08: Two-Port Media Access Control (MAC) Relay, IEEE 802.1 Working Group, June 2006, work-in-progress _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
