[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] FC Management MIB -- Transfer from IPFC To IPS WGAll, The IPFC working group has only one item left on its charter. It is that of the FC Management MIB. It has been identified that this MIB does not follow the IETF guidelines for MIBs in its current format, in its lack of focus, and in its overlap with existing MIBs. Rework of this MIB will take some time. The content of this MIB will fit in well with the IPS WG, especially because the subject matter experts participate in this WG. For these reasons, the working group chairs, with the INT and TSV area directors, have determined that this effort should be moved from the IPFC working group to the IPS working group. Upon transferring of this work, the IPFC working group will have completed the items in its charter and the IPFC WG will be closed. The IPS working group has a technical advisor for MIB work -- Keith McCloghrie. Since it has been determined that the current MIB has issues with format, Keith McCloghrie has agreed to become the interim editor of this MIB. As part of the re-architecture, the MIB will be evaluated with respect to fit with other IPS WG MIBs, and may take the form of a single new MIB or multiple MIBs, as appropriate. The IPS working group will also be seeking Fibre Channel expertise to help formulate the new MIB, including an editor with FC and MIB experience. The IPFC working group would also like to thank Steven Blumenau for all his work on the original MIB.
