This document outlines the development process for the CAPWAP MIB, including milestones, observations, proposed tables, and notifications. Suggested approach includes vendor submissions of MIB modules and creation of essential documents.

MIB Work • From the CAPWAP charter: • Deliverable - A MIB Document to support the CAPWAP protocol • Mar 2006 - Issue first Internet-Draft of CAPWAP MIB • Aug 2006 - WGLC for CAPWAP MIB • Sep 2006 - Submit CAPWAP MIB to IESG as Proposed Standard RFC • Observations • First I-D for CAPWAP protocol has been issued • No discussions yet on the WG mailing list on MIB work • The "CAPWAP Objectives" document does not directly address MIB requirements
Dilemma • Have milestone at end of month, but do not have requirements. • Have not seen WG mailing list discussions, nor have seen posting of MIB modules from CAPWAP vendors, which are needed to move forward. • Can create a MIB module (or modules), but may cause thrashing on WG mailing list. • However, need MIB requirements because they will affect definition of CAPWAP protocol.
Suggested Approach • Ask for vendor submission of MIB modules, and post on www.capwap.org WEB site (or post URLs to documents) • Post a list of relevant MIB modules (such as IEEE 802.11, IETF Entity, IETF Interface, etc) on www.capwap.org WEB site • Creation of two documents: • CAPWAP management model, which describes use of existing MIB modules • CAPWAP MIB module, which defines new objects and notifications
Proposed CAPWAP Tables • Configured WTPs containing configuration attributes • Radios for configured WTPs containing configuration attributes • Current and past WTP connections containing current status, statistics, and running configuration • Radios on connected WTPs containing current status, statistics, and running configuration • Configuration for each WLAN
Tables (continued) • For each WTP, for each radio, each WLAN, the status, statistics, and running configuration • STA sessions containing current status, statistics, and configuration • Configured STA identifiers (user or MAC) containing configuration attributes • Configured neighbor and rogue APs and STAs • Detected rogue, neighbor, and unknown APs and STAs containing current status, statistics, and configuration
Proposed CAPWAP Notifications • WTP session (started, stopped, failed) • STA session (started, stopped, failed) • Rogue AP detected • Rogue STA detected • Power and/or Channel changed on WTP radio(s)
