  2. Status:

  3. Vendor View: • Vendors by default are not motivated to comply with standards by default • Implementing standard MIB objects more difficult than implementing proprietary CLI • Cost higher • Proprietary CLIs lock in customers whereas standards free customers • Benefit lower • Cost/Benefit ratio not in favor of standards, unless … • Vendors will invest in implementing standards completely and correctly if and only if the market requires it, i.e., customers demand it

  4. Victim (Customer) View: • Customers are best served when their management tool sets are • open • multi-vendor / multi-platform • multi-dimensional (fault, configuration, accounting, …) • multi-layer (network, system, application, service, …) • integrated • secure • extensible • scalable • … etc … • That is, standards-based • Proprietary CLI over SSH/Telnet doesn’t cut it

  5. Standards View • Need standard protocols and standards for management information, such as SNMP and standard MIB definitions • Standard MIB definitions for configuration management delayed by lack of prerequisite security • Security now available, now need to develop standard MIB definitions for configuration mgmt • Vendors aren’t completely and correctly implementing and users aren’t deploying the standards they have now, so what’s the point in making more? • Cynic: we should standardize CLI commands?
