  1. Goals and objectives (1 slide only) Project(s): MIB Ad hoc, involves EMS-NMS (MEF 7.1) Purpose of the contribution:Provide the rationale behind starting a project to write a NE-EMS SNMP MIB for SOAM PM and extensions to the IEEE CFM MIBs (for SOAM FM). Abstract:This contribution provides the background on why an SNMP MIB is desirable, provides pointers to related material that will be used, and provides a plan for the execution of the project. Motion:Yes, this contribution contains a motion to start a project.

  2. MIB Ad hoc updateMarina Del Rey, CA USA (1Q 2010)32054_001 Contact Scott Mansfield Ericsson

  3. MIB Ad hoc • Scope • Rationale • Background • Timeframe • Impacts on other documents • Liaison Plan • Deliverables • Call for Participation • Motion

  4. Scope • A project in the Management Area • Guiding principle • Keep the scope of the project small • Concentrate on SOAM PM and extensions needed for SOAM FM • Ensure the project provides needed functionality and is small enough to be completed in a reasonable amount of time • Documents • A document containing an SNMP MIB for configuring and monitoring SOAM PM capabilities in a Carrier Ethernet environment. • A document containing an SNMP MIB that includes the extensions needed to the IEEE CFM MIBs for the new functionality described in the SOAM FM document. • As a stretch goal, produce a document that includes a YANG model for NETCONF using the same source material used to create the SNMP MIBs for both PM and the FM extensions.

  5. Rationale • Creating an SNMP MIB would be beneficial • Help interoperability between vendor implementations • Allow network operators the freedom to move away from NE-EMS single vendor solutions • One NMS or EMS vendor can interoperate with multiple vendor NEs • Implementation of existing protocol neutral models would help ensure models are complete • Provide a baseline of functionality for PM and FM OAM that can be extended

  6. Rationale (cont) • Creating a YANG model for NETCONF would be beneficial • Provide a concrete implementation of the abstract MEF models using an IETF standard modeling language • Assist in the evaluation of the protocol neutral models to ensure they are complete • Gain experience with YANG and NETCONF for potential future projects • As a stretch goal, this work would not hinder the completion of the SNMP MIBs

  7. Background • Interface terminology acronyms that are used in the material that follows: • Network Elements (NE) • Element Management System (EMS) • Network Management System (NMS) • Operations Support System/Business Support System (OSS/BSS) • eXtensible Markup Language (XML) • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) • Management Information Base (MIB) • Command Line Interface (CLI) • Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) • Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) • Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) • YANG is a data modeling language for NETCONF

  8. Background (cont) Project would concentrate here • Relationships and Interfaces for NM

  9. Background (cont) • Protocol neutral management specifications exist • MEF 7.1 • G.8052 • It would be useful to create an implementation of the protocol neutral models to ensure they are complete • Assumptions • MEF 7.1 (EMS-NMS) model can be used as a starting point for the NE-EMS implementation needed • The PM area is lacking a management standard so an SNMP MIB would help with interoperability • The IEEE CFM MIBs do not contain all the functionality that is needed by the SOAM FM document

  10. Background (cont) • Guiding principle – Do not redo work that already exists • Use the existing work as guidelines • MEF 7.1 • G.8052 • CFM MIBs (IEEE 802.1ap + IEEE 802.1ag) • IETF MIBs • RFC 4181 “Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of MIB Documents”

  11. Background (cont) • SNMP MIB Structure approach

  12. Timeframe • 1Q 2010: Project start • Conference calls between 1Q-2Q produce a draft document • 2Q 2010: Move for Straw Ballot • Conference calls between 2Q-3Q resolve all straw ballot comments and produces another draft • 3Q 2010: Move for Straw Ballot (if needed) • 4Q 2010: Letter Ballot

  13. Impacts on other documents • There are no other documents directly affected by the creation of the SNMP MIB document or the YANG model

  14. Liaison Plan • Liaise with • TMF • IEEE (802.1) • ITU-T (Q10/15) • ITU-T (Q14/15) • Project kickoff liaison • Project status liaisons (including requests for comments) each quarter (or whenever there are documents ready to share) • Project completion (with results)

  15. Deliverables • Multiple MEF documents • A MEF document containing an SNMP MIB for SOAM PM • A MEF document containing an SNMP MIB for the extensions needed to support SOAM FM • Potentially, a MEF document containing the YANG model for both the PM and FM extensions. • Liaisons

  16. Call for Participation • Editor • Participants

  17. Motion • Create a project based on the scope defined in 32054_001 • Move • Second • Yes • No • Abstain
