The IESG has received a request from the Operations and Management Area Working Group WG (opsawg) to consider the following document: - 'Problem Statement for the Automated Configuration of Large IP Networks' <draft-ietf-opsawg-automated-network-configuration-04.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-08-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This memo discusses the steps required to bring a large number of devices into service in IP networks in an automated fashion. The goal of this document is to list known solutions where they exist, to point out approaches proven to be problematic, and to identify gaps that require further specifications. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-automated-network-configuration/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-automated-network-configuration/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1706/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1735/
