  2. Presentation Topics • Review problem statement • Goals • Requirements: User, Vendor • Review BCP Draft • draft-ietf-snmpconf-bcp-00.txt • Review further work items snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  3. Problem Statement "create a Best Current Practices document which outlines the most effective methods for using the SNMP Framework to accomplish configuration management.” snmpconf working group charter snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  4. Goals of BCP • Document existing knowledge and techniques which demonstrate effective use of the SNMP Framework for device specific and policy based configuration • Recommendations based on: • actual implementation experience • actual deployment experience snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  5. Requirements - User • Secure, authenticated access • Fine grained access control • Standards based • Integrated view of Configuration, Status & diagnostic information • The configuration method should not obscure what is being configured...which is often complex (e.g., IGP Metrics, localprefs, MEDs) snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  6. Requirements - User • Service Provider Requirements • Simple device configuration method • Serial interface and text configuration file • Coexistence with other management interfaces • Enterprise Requirements • Simple device configuration method • Plug and play & point and click snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  7. BCP Draft • Basic Outline • Tenets of Configuration • Terminology • MIB Design Principles • Choosing the right abstraction • Efficient Polling & Indexing models • Effective use of Notifications • Latency/cost of access snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  8. BCP Draft • Agent Design • Capability/Capacity design • Persistence • Diagnostics • Multiple Management Interfaces • Multiple Managers • Notification definition and generation snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  9. BCP Draft • Management System Requirements • Polling strategies • Discovery • Support for multiple MIB Module Revisions • Alarm processing • Configuration activity requirements • Data/information exchange and storage snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  10. Policy Related Topics • Policy types and sub types • Technology specific MIB Modules • Policy related functions • Role definition and distribution • Capability collection and usage • Policy definition and distribution • Policy monitoring for fault, accounting and utilization • A diagnostic function snmpconf wg -- ietf 47

  11. Tasks • April • Collection of information and best current practices on the snmpconf mailing list. • Produce new draft for upcoming May meeting • May • Revise based on feedback compiled for 17-19 May • June 28, 29, 30 • Revise based on May meetings and further development • July 14 • Publish revised Internet Draft • Aug 2000 • 48th IETF meeting in Pittsburgh snmpconf wg -- ietf 47
