Token Ring Remote Monitoring (trmon)




Charter



Status: Concluded September, 1993 







Chair(s):







 Michael Erlinger 







Description of Working Group:



The Token Ring Remote Monitoring MIB Working Group is chartered to



produce a new MIB specification that extends the facilities of the



existing Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIB (RFC 1271) for use in monitoring



IEEE 802.5 Token Ring networks.







The Token Ring RMON MIB extensions will be developed in the same



architectural framework as the existing Ethernet-based RMON MIB.  The



original RMON MIB architecture was designed with the intention of



incorporating MIB extensions devoted to monitoring other network media



types.  This Token Ring activity is the first attempt at such



integration.







In creating the Token Ring Extensions, the working group will, wherever



possible, conform to terminology and concepts defined by relevant IEEE



standards.  It may be that a MIB devoted to monitoring may need to



expand on the IEEE objects and definitions.  Such modifications will



be accompanied by a detailed rationale.







All work produced by the Token Ring Remote Monitoring Working Group



will be consistent with the existing SNMP network management framework



and standards.
