Description of Working Group:

The Bridge MIB Working Group is chartered to define a set of managed
objects that instrument devices that conform to the IEEE 802.1
standards for MAC-layer bridges.

This set of objects should be largely compliant with (and even draw
from) those objects defined within each of the IEEE 802.1 standards,
although there is no requirement that any specific object be present or
absent.

The set of objects should not duplicate, nor conflict with any MIB
object definitions defined by the IEEE 802.1 standards themselves.

The MIB object definitions produced will be for use by SNMP and will be
consistent with other SNMP objects, standards, and conventions.

Goals and Milestones:

Done  Publish initial proposal.
Done  Submit an Internet-Draft.
Done  Submit draft for RFC publication.
Done  Publish a draft revision to RFC 1286 that reflects implementation experience and the result of alignments with IEEE work as an Internet-Draft.
Done  Publish a draft SNMP MIB that instruments functions specific to source routed bridges as an Internet-Draft.
Done  Submit a draft MIB for source routing bridge functions to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
Done  Submit a new MIB document with support for recently developed 802.1 specifications to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
Done  Submit new I-D for RFC 1493 in SMIv2 form
Done  Evaluate status of RFC 1493 and the SMIv2 versio and get WG consensus if it should be recycled a Draft or can be elevated to Full Standard
Done  Evaluate status of RFC 2674 an get WG consensus if it should be recycled at Proposed or can be elevated to Draft Standard
Done  Submit an Internet-Draft (or drafts) with MI support for extensions to the Bridge standards defined in 802.1t, 802.1u, 802.1v and 802.1w
Done  Revise the Internet-Draft(s) with MIB support for extensions to the Bridge standards defined in 802.1t, 802.1u, 802.1v and 802.1w.
Done  Submit SMIv2 version of RFC 1493 to IESG fo consideration as Full Standard.
Done  Submit completed draft(s) with MIB support for extensions to 802.1w to the IESG, for consideration as a Proposed Standard.
Done  Submit RFC 2674 (or new I-D if clarifications had to be made) to IESG for consideration as Draft Standard
